Web Folders is a built-in WebDAV accessibility feature to many computers running Windows. It allows you to access your SwissDisk account as a "Network Place" so that you can move, rename and save files directly onto your encrypted storage space via the familiar Windows Explorer interface.

Web Folders is supported by Windows 98, ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows 2003 Server. This document outlines two methods for configuring Web Folders to access your SwissDisk account as a "Network Place", both diagram screenshots from Windows XP. The process is very similar to other versions of Windows. If you need assistance, please contact our Customer Support Center.
