If you are accessing a WebDAV storage location that uses a self-signed certificate, you will likely have some issues when using Floccus. You may receive a network/auth error within the extension.

For Chrome/Brave Browsers:

BEFORE attempting to setup your WebDAV connection in the extension, access the WebDAV base URL within the web browser (if using multiple profiles, do so within the profile you will setup Floccus in).

Example: If your WebDAV URL will be: https://YOURLOCALHOST:443/webdav/bookmarks, then:

  1. Visit in your browser: https://YOURLOCALHOST:443
  2. You will receive an error that your connection is not private.
  3. Click the “Advanced” button.
  4. Click “Proceed to YOURLOCALHOST (unsafe)”

This will accept the self-signed certificate into the browser. You may need to redo these steps occasionally if the extension stops working with a network error.
