Use a file app you already know
A compatible WebDAV app can list folders and download files from your TransferSize account.
Three details make the connection
The app needs the server address shown in your account, your exact account email as the username, and a WebDAV app password. The name you give the connection, such as “Office laptop,” is just a reminder for you. It is not the login username.
| Setting | What to use |
|---|---|
| Server | The server address shown in your account |
| Username | Your exact TransferSize account email |
| Password | A dedicated WebDAV app password |
| Operations | Browse and download; no uploads, edits or deletes |
A deliberate boundary
Browse and retrieve
- File appConnect with an app password.
- TransferSizeChecks the eligible account.
- Your deviceBrowse folders and download a copy.
It cannot change your files
The current connection blocks upload, rename, move, and delete commands.
Read-only is a useful boundary
Listing and downloading are allowed; uploading, moving, renaming, and deleting are blocked. A client that attempts to synchronize changes back to the server may show an error. Use the TransferSize workspace when you want to manage the stored files.
Useful detail
Set up and manage the connection
Use a separate app password
Create it in Account Security and save it when shown. Revoke it if the device is lost or no longer used.
One app password, one recognizable purpose
Create the password in account settings under Security & apps. Save it when it is shown, because the original cannot be displayed again. Give each device or app its own named credential so you can revoke one connection without confusing the others.
Check your account and connection
WebDAV requires a verified account and active paid eligibility. If an existing connection stops working, check account status and the credential before trying to rebuild your entire setup. Browsing the library needs a network connection unless you saved local copies beforehand.
