WebDAV #

What is WebDAV? #

Brick exposes your files over WebDAV, a standard protocol supported natively by macOS, Windows, and most Linux file managers. Mounting Brick over WebDAV lets you work with your files as a regular network drive — dragging files in and out with the same Finder/Explorer windows you already use — without opening a browser or installing anything.

App passwords #

WebDAV clients authenticate with a username and password rather than your regular Webbite login, so Brick uses app passwords: a separate credential you generate specifically for mounting a drive.

1. In Brick HQ, go to Settings → WebDAV.
2. Create a new app password and give it a label (e.g. "MacBook Finder").
3. Copy the password shown — it's only displayed once, so store it somewhere safe (or generate a new one later if you lose it).

Use your account email as the username, and the app password as the password. You can list and revoke app passwords from the same settings page at any time without affecting your regular login.

Mounting your drive #

Your Brick WebDAV address is shown on the Settings → WebDAV page. It looks like:

https://api.brick.wbite.net/v1/accounts/<your-account-id>/dav/

macOS Finder #

Finder → Go → Connect to Server…, paste the address above, then sign in with your email and app password.

Windows Explorer #

This PC → Map network drive… → Connect to a Web site…, paste the address, then sign in with your email and app password.

Windows requires HTTPS for WebDAV sign-in, which the address above already uses.

Linux (davfs2) #

sudo mount -t davfs \
  https://api.brick.wbite.net/v1/accounts/<your-account-id>/dav/ /mnt/brick
# username: you@example.com   password: <the app password>

rclone #

[brick]
type = webdav
url  = https://api.brick.wbite.net/v1/accounts/<your-account-id>/dav/
vendor = other
user = you@example.com
pass = <obscured app password>   # rclone obscure <app-password>

rclone ls brick:
rclone copy ./localfile brick:/folder/
