Webdav access control

The Basics

  • Nextcloud Server version : 33

Summary of the issue you are facing:

I don’t understand how I can restrict the access to a specific folder via webdav.

The documentation explains how to access files via webdav, by using Nextcloud username and application password, then using the URL : https://cloud.example.com/remote.php/dav/files/USERNAME/A_specific_folder/

And this works perfectly fine : A_specific_folder can be access via webDAV protocol.

But actually using all the same configuration and removing the trailing folder in the URL, i.e. https://cloud.example.com/remote.php/dav/files/USERNAME/ or putting a different folder like https://cloud.example.com/remote.php/dav/files/USERNAME/A_Folder_I_DO_NOT_want_be_accessed_via_webdav/ this can actually be done :confused: why ?

How could i set up webdav access to be restricted to ONE specific folder ?

Thanks for your help !

Can you elaborate on your use case? Are you trying to lock down your own access or is this a scenario where you’re sharing files (which should be handled differently)?
