How do I access Cloud Drive with WebDAV?

WebDAV lets you access Cloud Drive with third party applications that supports WebDAV. You can for example use Cyberduck, which you can download for free at http://cyberduck.ch/, but you can even build your own apps to access your data the way you want to. Operative systems like Windows, OS X and Linux have built in support for WebDAV.

WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) is a set of extensions to the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) that makes it possible to edit and manage documents stored online.
