iOS 11 Files app enable WebDAV

Hi Peter, would be a great thing if it would work. I set up a WEBDAV Connection as described, no errors occured, but all I can see after connecting is nothing. As if there where no files on my server. Disconnecting doesn‘t work either. But the worst thing is that I cannot edit server name and credentials. Do you have any hint how to manage this? Thanks in advance Detlef

Hi Peter, the thing is, that I cannot release the connection. And although I stepped out and back into the webdav folder, restarted pages several times, it still does not work. I tested it on an iPad Pro and an iPhone 7 with iOS 11.02. In iOS 10 webdav worked fine in Pages. For me, iOS 11 is absolutely crappy. Even the instant notes (should work by tapping on the lock screen with the apple pencil) do not work, but that´s another story. All this behaviour reminds me of Android and Windows, and that´s the most disappointing thing about iOS 11: it is not even as usable as IOS 10. And there is no way to step back anymore. Best regards Detlef

My issue is I saw it (Files.app actually pointed its presence out in the Locations area). But I tried it with Omnisync Server got the address wrong, and it didn't work. So I turned off WebDav. But now I see no way to turn it back on. There doesn't seem to be a way to add locations manyally into Files.app. I'm using the latest Beta of High Sierra, so that could be it.

Hi Peter, I´m still trying to get WebDAV Connectivity back to my iWorks apps. Still with no success. Unfortunately. I own an old iPad 1 with iOS 5.1.1. The interesting thing is, that connection to my webDAV Server from the old versions of pages, numbers oder keynote work like a charm. So the newest iWorks apps are a step back, I assume. Or at least more instable than former versions. Could it be that Apple is trying to restrain users from connection to their own private servers? Are you using ownCloud as I do? Best regards Detlef

Awesome! I didn't know the Files App could do that already! If it works not also in the "normal" Files App, that would be amazing!

Same here.

I configured the WebDav server in the Numbers App and it works.

Switching to the standard Files App, the WebDAV server is not visible and I cant see a way to add it.

i can access my webdav server from inside pages or numbers;

but it is not listed in the files app sadly :-(

I can make a connection to my WebDav server. However, often when I try to open an iWorks file, it says it can't be opened 😟, while I can open the same file from my iMac without any problem.
