Update Windows solution and alternate connection address. #1505
Conversation
Based on multiple error trying to connect to multiple Nextcloud 16 servers thought WebDav, the correct address to get access from File Explorer or CLI is \\domain.comSSL\DavWWWRoot\remote.php\dav\files\username or if a subdomain is present (has in the current manual example) \\domain.comSSL\DavWWWRoot\subdomain\remote.php\dav\files\username. Also add another solution to WebDav connection problems based on the "WebClient" service from Windows not beign started. A part of the problem it's described in this next Nextcloud forum topic: https://help.nextcloud.com/t/webdav-problems-in-windows-7-8-10

Interesting. Is this working properly, meaning is the connection stable an fast? Currently in the forums, we rather recommend to use 3rd party software and it would be cool to have a native implementation that works well. And which windows versions are working with that solution (if it works for one environment, we can ask the community to help with other versions)? |

I just tried on Windows 10,
I had to adjust the registry, then start the Service manually, after that it was working!
We should clear up the thing, if Nextcloud is used in a subfolder or not and we are ready to go.
Before I did the modifictions, it tried to call the resource /login from the webserver which failed with a 405 error. Might help others where the service is not started and/or registry not yet fixed.
edit: Tested with NC 22.2.6 & NC 24 RC1

That is if nextcloud is installed in a subfolder. For other reasons, this is not the preferred way, but it should be clear that the nextcloud folder is only required in this case.
