### Common WebDAV URLs

- [Nextcloud](https://nextcloud.com/): `https://<your-nextcloud-domain>/remote.php/webdav/` alternatively this can be found in the interface of your Nextcloud instance. 
  To do this, open the file overview and click on ‘Settings’ in the left-hand column.
- [Owncloud](https://owncloud.com/): `https://<your-owncloud-domain>/remote.php/webdav/`
- [Hetzner Storage Box](https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box): `https://<username>.your-storagebox.de`

## Removing the integration

This integration follows standard integration removal. No extra steps are required.

{% include integrations/remove_device_service.md %}

- If you remove the integration, the backup folder is not automatically deleted. You have to manually delete it.

## Known issues / limitations

Due to the nature of WebDAV, it is required to have a fairly high file upload limit on the server.
If you experience issues with the backup, please check the server configuration or with your WebDAV service provider.

Following WebDAV services are known to have issues with Home Assistant backups:

- Yandex Disk is not supported, as the speed is artificially slowed down when using WebDAV.
- mail.ru Cloud is not supported due to the lack of support for WebDAV properties.
- pCloud WebDAV implementation proved to be unstable and is not recommended for backups.
