Problem
^^^^^^^

Adding a WebDAV drive on Windows via the above described steps does not display the correct size
of in Nextcloud available space and instead shows the size of the C: drive with its available space.

Answer
^^^^^^

Unfortunately is this a limitation of WebDAV itself, because it does not provide a way for the client
to get the available free space from the server. Windows automatically falls back to show the size of
the C: drive with its available space instead. So unfortunately there is no real solution to this problem.

Problem
^^^^^^^

Accessing your files from Microsoft Office via WebDAV fails.
