Note:

Since the introduction of MS Office Add-in and the various tools such as the GUI Import/Export tool, we do not recommend heavy usage of the WebDAV functionality. Microsoft's implementation of WebDAV across various Windows platforms such as XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.x is not consistent. Adding to the mix, the differences in MS Office versions, WebDAV has become increasingly difficult to manage on a consistent basis.
