-WebDAV client programs, especially Windows clients, often require tuning of their configurations to work as expected with WebDAV servers such as CloudDAV.  The configuration requirements vary depending on the client software as well as the operating system version and sometimes other factors.  Storage Made Easy can assist customers with WebDAV client configuration for use with CloudDAV on a consultancy basis. For more information, please contact [[support@storagemadeeasy.com|SME Support]].+WebDAV client programs, especially Windows clients, often require tuning of their configurations to work as expected with WebDAV servers such as CloudDAV.  The configuration requirements vary depending on the client software as well as the operating system version and sometimes other factors. 
  
 If you added files externally to your Cloud Storage and you cannot see them via CloudDAV then you either need to enable the **//CloudDAV real-time refresh//** from the CloudDAV options available from your **//Cloud Dashboard//** on the website, or you need to do a manual refresh of your Cloud Files Cache. If you added files externally to your Cloud Storage and you cannot see them via CloudDAV then you either need to enable the **//CloudDAV real-time refresh//** from the CloudDAV options available from your **//Cloud Dashboard//** on the website, or you need to do a manual refresh of your Cloud Files Cache.
