gCube Workspace now provide support for the WebDAV protocol so users can upload and organize resources from both a web interface and the file explorer of their desktop operating system. Starting with gCube Portal Bundle 2.1, every item or folder in your personal workspace is accessible via WebDAV.

What is WebDAV?

WebDAV provides functionality to create, change and move documents on a remote server (typically a web server or "web share"). WebDAV is supported by all major Operating Systems and Desktop Environments including MacOS X, Linux (KDE and GNOME) and Windows.

In the Workspace portlet click the button Access from Desktop located one the top, there you will see the direct WebDAV URL.

Login Credentials

You can login using the Screen Name (username) you chose to access the portal. (Likely your email without @mydomain.com). If you don't know what your screen name is you can find it on the portal by clicking your name on the top-right of the portal dock bar. It will load your portal profile page and there it should be one of the first entries in the Profile tab that comes up.
