Add a WebDAV or AList source

BoxPlayerUpdated November 2, 20262 min read

Browse an existing WebDAV or AList service using its own folder structure.

Platforms

Use the WebDAV / AList entry available in your client’s network-source menu.

01Confirm the service endpoint

Note the scheme, host, port, and mount path. A WebDAV endpoint may include /dav depending on your service. The web homepage is not necessarily the WebDAV endpoint.

02Enter source details

Select WebDAV or AList in Add File Source and enter the endpoint and service account. Give separate mounts distinct display names.

03Check browsing and playback

Open a subfolder and play one file. If browsing works but playback fails, check download permission, direct-link reachability, and any extra authentication required by the service.

Before you finish

  • The endpoint path is correct
  • The account can list and read files
  • Playback links are reachable
