Originally assigned to: @lastzero on GitHub.

I've found a tip for mounting Photoprism over WebDav on Windows
https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/sync/webdav/#server-url

There are two sets of examples, one for servers exposed to the internet and another for running Photoprism locally.

The "locally" section is missing an example for Windows. I suggest adding:

\localhost@SSL@2342\originals\

to complete that section.

Furthermore, the publicly accessible server examples should probably include the port
https://admin@example.com:443/originals/
https://admin@example.com:2342/originals/

\example.com@SSL\originals
\example.com@SSL@2342\originals\

Thanks.

@lastzero commented on GitHub (Oct 23, 2023):

If you are using SSL, the default port is 443 and it is rather uncommon to run a public HTTPS server on a non-default port, especially since you would have to manually add it to the URL every time.

Also note that you will get dynamically generated URLs/resource identifiers for Windows and other operating systems based on your configuration when you open the user interface, navigate to Settings > Services, and then click "Connect via WebDAV":

webdav-connect-dialog

So in most cases you don't have to "create" it manually using the documentation, but you can simply copy it from this information dialog.
