    • You can find the Explorer, for example, by using the Windows search function (magnifying glass usually at the bottom left).

    • Click - with the right mouse button - on "This PC".

    • Select "Connect network drive" and select a letter under "Drive".

    • Click (at the bottom) on "Connect to a website where you can save documents and images".

    • A setup wizard opens.

    • Click on "Next".

    • "Select a user-defined network address" is highlighted.

    • Click on "Next".

    • Enter the email address associated with your FELIX account and the corresponding password and confirm with "OK".

    • You will find the email address that matches your Felix account when you log in to FELIX and call up your profile under "Configuration" in the top right-hand corner.

    • Give the network address a name, click on "Next" and then you can "Finish" the setup.

  2. Setting up WebDAV for Mac

    • In the Finder, open the "Go to" menu and then "Connect to server".

    • Enter the email address associated with your FELIX account and the corresponding password and click on "OK".

    • You will find the email address that matches your Felix account when you log in to FELIX and call up your profile under "Configuration" in the top right-hand corner.

  3. File management with Web-DAV
    Once Web-DAV has been successfully set up, you will find the following directories there.

    • Coursefolders: In this directory you will find all folder elements in courses in which you are the owner, grouped by semester or without semester classification ("others").
      Bring up the desired course.
      To transfer files to the storage folder, add them directly to the top level of the course.
      To place files in specific folders, call up the desired folder (e.g. participant folder) and place the files in the desired location.

    • Groupfolders: In this directory you will find all folder elements in groups in which you have write access to folders.

    • Home: Here you will find your personal folders. You can find them in FELIX at the top right below your avatar (personal folder).

    • Shared folders: In this directory you will find all your resource folders (or folders to which you have write access). For all information on the resource folder, see Helpcard 30-032.
