Description KDE Neon user 2016-07-11 13:40:33 UTC

When a WebDAV folder is mounted via its URL, it should be added automatically to the list of network folders.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
You can reproduce this with any application that attempts to mount WebDAV folders with their URLs. The program I'm using is Cryptomator:

1. Install Cryptomator (http://cryptomator.org/) 
2. Create a vault 
3. Use the option to reveal a drive (there will be an error because of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=365356), but the folder will open on Dolphin anyway because they've set Dolphin's syntax as a fallback scheme 
4. Click on "Network" on the "Places" panel of Dolphin

Actual Results:  
The mounted folder doesn't appear anywhere in the list of network folders.

Expected Results:  
It should appear in the list of network folders, as in Nautilus: https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WIalK-4zIWQ/VyHxcPD0roI/AAAAAAAAXxc/bOcbL0ufzbwEkTs1Y3fIfuB3SlnFD2meQCLcB/s1500/cryptomator-mounted-unlocked.png

I can't add it permanently either because of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363542

Comment 2 Julian Steinmann 2018-05-17 19:28:21 UTC

Does this still happen with newer versions of Dolphin/KIO?

Comment 3 Julian Steinmann 2018-06-02 07:19:25 UTC

We would need to know whether this crash still happens with a newer version of Dolphin to triage the bug further. Thanks for reporting!

Hey, Julian. I didn't mention any crash. This was a feature request to automatically add the WebDAV folder to the list of network folders.

I'm not currently using KDE Neon, but the Cryptomator site says that they still use WebDAV, so the instructions in the original report should still be valid for to check if you can reproduce it.

You can download the .deb package from https://cryptomator.org/downloads/#linuxDownload . It's an offline open source program.

Thanks for the update; let's wait for someone able to check the steps.

Still doesn't work in Dolphin 23.08.5 (Fedora 39, I haven't yet upgraded to 40). The mail provider I'm currently testing is offering cloud storage accessible via WebDAV. Configuring fstab to be able to mount the share doesn't add the remote drive in Dolphin like with other shares (e.g. the cifs one above that), unless I omit the "https:" in fstab so the line starts with just "//". However, the WebDAV share can't be mounted, then.
