Settings for Windows 7

We have checked the compatibility  of the Web Folder and Finder on the following OS.

 

- Windows XP / Vista / 7

- Mac OS X (10.4 or newer)

- Ubuntu Linux (7.04 or newer)

 

With the WebDAV client, users might be able to use the File feature on other environments, but it's not yet officially supported by Backlog.

 

Folders and files cannot be opened with a double-click on Windows Vista, so users need to choose “Open” from the contextual menu. They also cannot access files from “Assign Network Drive”.

 

On Windows 7, folders and files can be accessed only by mapping the network drive and cannot be accessed from "Network place (network location)".
