With WebDAV you can mount the Group-Office files as a network share on your desktop. First you must determine the baseURI.

Ideally your Apache webserver is configured with an alias

Alias /webdav /path/to/groupoffice/modules/dav/files.php

In this case your baseURI is:

The WebDAV feature is based on SabreDAV. You can find more information about clients on that page too.

Use the URL above and follow the instructions here:

Make sure "davfs2" is installed.

Create a mount point as root:

mkdir /media/groupoffice/

ignore_home kernoops

Add your user to the davfs2 group in /etc/group. Find the line with davfs2 and append your user name like this:

davfs2:x:130:username

Add this line to /etc/fstab:

https://your.url.to.groupoffice/modules/dav/files.php/ /media/groupoffice davfs user,noauto,rw 0 0

Then, add the following line to /etc/davfs2/secrets:

https://your.url.to.groupoffice/modules/dav/files.php/    username    mypassword

Now run:

chmod u+s /sbin/mount.davfs

Now you can mount the drive with the file manager or on the terminal as the normal user:

mount /media/groupoffice/

And you should be able to browse your Group-Office files.
