What is mapping
Mapping (Windows) or mounting (Linux) allows you to access the web drive without any software, straight from your OS.
Work with your files just like they were at your local computer at ease, so you could view, edit documents and even launch applications from your web drive!
Mapping the Drive
What really differs for who.hasfiles is that native drive mapping is possible without any extra software to download. No drivers at all, just type in your account name and get your files.
Instead of coming with some bloated web interface to the drive, we just make it possible to map the drive natively from your OS, whether it is Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux.
See the mapping instructions for your OS:
- Windows: using instant mapper or mapping a drive or adding a network folder
- Mac OS X: connecting to server
- Linux: Ubuntu or using KDE Konqueror
- Any OS and device: web view
If things don't work as they should, check the troubleshooting section.
Windows, using instant mapper
1. Download and launch instant mapper executable.
2. Enter your username and password, pick the drive letter you want, then click "Map the drive".
3. A window with your new drive should open. You no longer need the mapper executable. Note that this approach doesn't provide a way to access your friend's share.
Windows, mapping drive
1. Go to My Network Places, select "Map Network Drive" from Tools menu
2. Then fill the URL in form of http://yourname.hasfiles.com/storage,
if you're mapping
your own storage. If you're mapping a shared storage of a friend, the URL is in form
of http://friendname.hasfiles.com/storage, note that you still should enter
your own username and password at the next step.
Secure SSL mapping of drives is not supported in Windows.
Adding secure network folders is supported instead.
3. Enter your own username and password when asked (the ones you specified at signup)
4. Check for a new drive icon to appear in My Computer
Windows, adding network folder
1. Go to My Network Places, click "Add a network place"
2. Select "Choose another" at the provider selection
3. Then fill the URL in form of http://yourname.hasfiles.com/storage,
if you're mapping your own storage.
For secure SSL mapping, the URL should be in form of
https://yourname.hasfiles.com/storage.
If you're mapping a shared storage of a friend, the URL is in form
of http://friendname.hasfiles.com/storage, note that you should still enter
your own username and password at the next step.
4. Enter your username and password when asked
5. A new folder will be created in My Network Places
Mac OS X
1. Choose "Connect to Server..." from the Go menu.
2. A dialog box called "Connect to Server" appears. Enter the URL in form of
http://yourname.hasfiles.com/storage, if you're mapping
your own storage.
Use https:// for secure SSL connection.
If you're mapping a shared storage of a friend, the URL is in form
of http://friendname.hasfiles.com/storage, note that you should still enter
your own username and password at the next step.
3. Type the username and password you use and click on OK to continue.
4. Once your connection is established, a new desktop folder appears that contains your files.
Ubuntu
1. Go to Places menu, select "Connect to Server".
2. In the dialog, set "service type" to WebDAV, fill "server" as
yourname.hasfiles.com (or as friendname.hasfiles.com/storage,
if you're mapping friend's share), fill "folder" as storage,
type in your username, and pick some name for the connection.
Set "service type" to Secure WebDav for
secure SSL connection.
3. When you click on "Connect", a new folder appears at your desktop. Click on the folder.
4. Enter your password when asked.
5. A window with your storage opens.
Linux, KDE
1. Enter an URL in form of webdav://yourname.hasfiles.com/storage in KDE Konqueror.
Use webdavs:// for secure SSL connection.
Type the username and password in the Authorization Dialog that pops up.
2. Your files will appear in the Konqueror window.
Web view
Type URL in form of http://yourname.hasfiles.com/storage into your web browser. Enter username and password when asked.
You will get a web view of the storage, with limited options, you cannot modify files.
