WebDAV is the most popular way of mapping cloud drives on PC and Mac. It is an open standard protocol supported on all platforms.
You just need to find a good WebDAV server.
DriveHQ is a leading Cloud File Server/WebDAV Drive Mapping service provider.
In this document, we will talk about how to configure HP Smart (Scanner/Printer App) with DriveHQ's WebDAV Server.
The information is also useful in configuring other WebDAV client applications.
Step 1: Get WebDAV Server / URL.
To use HP Smart (Scanner/Printer App) with DriveHQ WebDAV Server, you must have a DriveHQ account first.
If you don’t have a DriveHQ account, you can:
- Visit www.DriveHQ.com website to sign up for a free account. The free account does not expire,
but it has some restrictions.
- If you are an administrator, you might want to create sub-accounts for your users, incl. employees and external clients.
A sub-user of a paid Group Account is considered a paid account.
The next step is to create/get your secure WebDAV URL. Log on to DriveHQ.com website, then from the Start Menu, click "Drive Mapping URL".
See the screenshots below. (Desktop browser and Mobile browser).
