Office 365 notification on WebDAV access
If you use WebDAV with Office 365, a notice has recently appeared that this access will soon no longer be allowed.
To continue using WebDAV, you will need to verify access for Office 365 once.

Allow MyDrive for Microsoft Office 365
Confirm all messages. This will automatically run the verification.
Increase the Windows 50MB file limit
The WebDAV protocol sets size restrictions for uploading and downloading individual files from Windows. While the limits for uploading are generously set at 2 GB per individual file, Windows limits the size of individual files for downloading to 47 MB.
If you try to download larger single files, you will receive an error message (Error 0x800700DF). This restriction can be removed in the Windows Registry and the maximum value of 4 GB allowed for WebDAV can be set.

Confirm all messages and then restart your computer.
Notice:
With the web browser, the upload is supported up to 10 GB per file.
