Procedure 4.3.
Go to Group | Sites Explorer on the administration bar:

A list of all drives in Sites Explorer displays:

There are some specific drives to choose to work on, they are organized in groups: Personal drives, Group drives and General drives.

Personal drive is the working space of a user. If you want to do in private, select the Private drive, no one else can access or get your private resources. If you want to create resource and share with others, work in the Public drive.

The drive of a group is the working space of users in that group.
In this example, the user "root" joins in three groups : "executive-board", "administrators" and "users" so he has right to access these group's drive.

This is the working space for everyone but your access right in different drives depends on your role. With default users, log in by "root" or "john" you can access any drive in General drives, but if you login by "mary" or "demo" you only can access Shared Users Space and Validation Request Document Center only.

Private drive contains personal data of registered users. Hence, only these individuals can access data in this drive type.

In the Public drive, you also can take actions like in the Private drive.
By default, there are two initialized folders but you also can add more and take actions like in Private drives. Only users in a specific group can access its drive.


By default, there will be a list of all folders named after existing users, each user has a folder that includes two sub folders (private and public). You can see both your private and public folders here but you can see only the public folder of others.
In this drive you can:
Perform all actions that you can do in your private drive.
View nodes from public folder of others
In this drive you can not:
Add a folder/document in a root node
Add a folder/document in a folder named by other users and in child nodes of this folder.
Add a folder/document in a folder named by your username
Rename a default folder
Lock folders named by a user

WebDAV is an abbreviation of Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning.. It is used to publish to publish and manage file and directories on a remote server. It also groups users to perform these these functions on a website.
WebDAV provides the following features:
This feature prevents two or more collaborators from overwriting shared files.
WebDAV supports copy and move actions and the creaion of collections (file system directories)
This function enables copying and moving web pages within a server's namespace.
You should use WebDAV to manage site content because of the following reasons:
Copy/paste web content on a desktop machine and have those changes reflected in a host-based website.
Easily, quickly and flexibly manipulate actions on a website without having to access it directly with web-browsers. FIles can be accessed from anywhere and are stored as in local directories.
Easily and quickly upload content to a website simply by copying it into the appropriate directory.
WCM supports WebDAV in two ways:
This way is used when you are on a Window System and your computer has to be connected to the Internet or Intranet.

In this view you can you can access documents in the directories that are linked to the web server.
You see all default folders of a site when accessing it via WebDAV. Manipulating content through WebDAV is the same as working on it in local folders.
This means you can copy/paste files, list folders, rename and more in system directories.
This function allows you to copy web content (such as an .html file) from your local computer to a web content folder of a site.
Procedure 4.79.
Access a site via WebDAV (refer to Section 4.7.3, “How to Use WebDAV With eXo Content”) then go to a web content folder of the site.
Copy the web content on your local system into this folder.
The copied file will be converted to web content that is viewable by WebDAV automatically. The content is converted to a directory containing CSS, documents, js and media.
After new content is added it can be viewed as a folder in WebDAV or as page content using a web browser.
This function allows site administrators to delete web content files singularly or in batches.
