Synology webdav windows 7 not working

But forget about webfolders on W7. You might get the "webdav network location" in the left pane but wil not see the folders in the right pane. We're waiting for more than two year now for MS to resolve this protectionist move.

We're experiencing a similar issue with a few hosted SharePoint sites. In my case, I tried some of the steps recommended here and in particular dennismil's suggestions.

Oddly enough, I don't get any error when I attempt to map the network drive. However, the drive never appears in Explorer. We're using shorcuts to get around the issue.

For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, see How to back up and restore the registry in Windows. On the WIn 7 laptops, try doing a system restore to the state prior to the update s to see if the Windows 7 laptops can access the Synology shares?

This will determine if the update s have killed access to synology. Surprisingly, I reverted the Windows 7 asset to a previous version before patching and it is still unable to mount the share.
