Q.
I can access NetStorage correctly through my browser, but when I try to access NetDrive through the browser, it doesn't work correctly. What's wrong?
A.
You might assume that because you use https://Ipaddress/NetStorage to access NetStorage via your browser, you would also use it to access NetDrive; however, WebDav is looking for different information. If you set up NetDrive using just the / NetStorage option, you might have problems accessing the directory or copying files. Figure 4 shows the error you might see.

Figure 5 shows the proper method of communication between WebDav and NetStorage. If you want NetStorage to communicate with WebDav, map to the Site Address/URL as shown in Figure 5.
