Leave a Comment / 09/07/2022 /

Latest: The previous version zx5253/webdav-aliyundriver is no longer available, use the new version messense/aliyundrive-webdav

WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) is a communication protocol based on the HTTP 1.1 protocol. It extends HTTP 1.1 and adds some new methods in addition to several HTTP standard methods such as GET, POST, HEAD, etc., so that applications can directly read and write to the Web Server, and support write file locking (Locking) and unlocking (Unlock) , and can also support version control of files.

Synology NAS supports WebDAV synchronization, and Cloud Sync can be configured in Synology.

Install Docker and Cloud Sync

Generally use Synology NAS, Docker and Cloud Sync are two basic items that must be installed.

If it is not installed, you can find the installation in the package center.

get refresh_token

Obtain the refresh_token for logging in to Alibaba Cloud Disk. This Token is automatically generated after logging in to Alibaba Cloud Disk. It can be obtained in localStorage , and it is more convenient to obtain it in the Chrome browser.

Log in to Alibaba Cloud Drive first: https://www.aliyundrive.com/drive

After Chrome is logged in, press F12 to open the developer tools, and then look under the Application tab to find Local Storage .
