Instruction for the access to SoFS on Windows 10 via WebDAV

Hint: You may also use the shortcut Win+E.

3. Select "Add a network location".

4. Click "Next", select "Choose a custom network location" and click "Next" again.

5. Under "Internet or network adress" put in the path of the SoFS folder you want to access. Plese note that the beginning of the path might need to be changed for using WebDAV instead of CIFS.
