Access Keep from Windows File Explorer

Windows users can browse Keep read-only via WebDAV. Specific collections can also be accessed read-write via WebDAV.

Browsing Keep in File Explorer (read-only)

Use the ‘Map network drive’ functionality, and enter https://collections.ClusterID.example.com/ in the Folder field. When prompted for credentials, you can fill in an arbitrary string for Username, it is ignored by Arvados. Windows will not accept an empty Username. Put a valid Arvados token in the Password field.

This mount is read-only. Write support for the /users/ directory is planned for a future release.

Accessing a specific collection in Keep (read-write)

Use the ‘Map network drive’ functionality, and enter https://collections.ClusterID.example.com/c=your-collection-uuid in the Folder field. When prompted for credentials, you can fill in an arbitrary string for Username, it is ignored by Arvados. Windows will not accept an empty Username. Put a valid token in the Password field.

This collection is now accessible read/write.
