This is libreoffice 7.2.4 webDAV is provided by hetzner (https://www.hetzner.com/de/storage/storage-box) and added as a network-drive to windows with an assigned drive letter. So far everything is as expected, all applications can open/store files on that network share. If you then open a file on that share with libreoffice, you get an authentication prompt for the network ressource. I assume libreoffce has queried the source of the file which points to https://..... and tries to open it via network instead of using the (virtual) file provided by the system on drive "z:". is there anything I can do about this? any debug info needed?

Meanwhile, you might want to try if https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/7.3.0.1/win/ perhaps improves matters already; that version contains a brand-new webdav implementation.

Login dialog after opening an ODT file through WebDAV drive
I'm using Writer 7.3.7.2 and it has the same problem. My WebDAV drive (Nextcloud hosted on my home server) is mounted in Windows as drive N:\ through Network > Connect network drive. No other application except LibreOffice asks for the WebDAV login to open and edit files on this drive. So this step is not necessary at all and a special behavior of LibreOffice. I think it accesses the URL instead of the drive "N:\".
I attached a screenshot which shows the behavior.
I am still able to reproduce this behaviour in LibreOffice 7.5.9. |
