Web Folder Access Profile provides a secure, web-based interface for accessing shared or private drives. It uses the WebDAV (Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning) protocol and allows users to manage files remotely through a web browser. This eliminates the need for any client-side installation, making it a lightweight and seamless solution for file management across various platforms.
To access the Web Folder Access Profile settings, navigate to Configuration Manager>Access Profiles then click Add and select Web Folder. Alternatively, double click a Web Folder access profile from the list or select it and click Edit.

Virtual Path
By default, Thinfinity creates a unique URL address for the current connection. If you want to customize it, make sure your address is unique and web compatible and that it has the following format: http(s)://ThinfinityDomain:port/VirtualPath/
.
You can then create a web shortcut for this specific connection and bypass the Thinfinity® Workspace web interface.
