With WebDAV you mount your case attachments and global files as a network drive directly in your operating system – handy for moving whole folders or large amounts of files between Aktenplatz and your computer. When you scan a document, for example, you can drop it straight into the right case file.
All credentials come from the app
You get every connection detail in your user profile under WebDAV Access (/profile/webdav). There you find:
- WebDAV URL – the server address (copyable with one click).
- Username – your email address registered with Aktenplatz (copyable).
- App password – a dedicated password just for WebDAV access.
Important: the WebDAV password is not your login password and is not set under "Update password". You create it on the same page under App passwords → Create password (with a label such as "MacBook"). It is shown only once – copy it immediately. Passwords you no longer need can be Revoked at any time.
Choose which projects are visible
Under Projects visible in WebDAV you decide which projects appear in the drive (All projects or Only selected projects) and whether Akten and/or Global files are available for each. Optionally, columns can be shown as folders.
Pick a client & connect
WebDAV is an open standard – you can use any WebDAV-capable client:
- Natively, without extra software: as a network drive in Windows Explorer or macOS Finder. For this the Allow Basic authentication option under Authentication method must be on (classic Windows network-drive access requires Basic).
- Mountain Duck (recommended): mounts Aktenplatz as a full local drive with offline access – more convenient and stable, for a one-time license fee. This is just one of several options, not a requirement.
In the client, enter the WebDAV URL, your email as the username and the generated app password, then connect. Your Aktenplatz files then appear as a network drive.
Manage files
You download attachments of individual and global case files in bulk and copy whole folders in – simply by copy and paste. Whatever you upload appears in Aktenplatz in the corresponding place.
Please note: you can rename files and folders, but not project or case titles (that still only works in Aktenplatz). Create new case files or projects in Aktenplatz first, then add files via WebDAV. Only the files you actually copy are downloaded – so you won't suddenly have all of Aktenplatz on your device.
