WebDav
With WebDav integration, you can connect Kontainer directly to your computer as a network drive. This allows you to work with files in Kontainer as if they were stored locally – without complicated software.
If you wish to use a third-party solution, we recommend using Mountain Duck as a tool for added stability and ease of use.
Please note that this solution requires a license from Mountain Duck.
