Assuming you've read the documentation at http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Modules:webdav

By far, a WebDAV client provides an effortless and most efficient method to upload items into your Menalto Gallery 2 site, whether it's a single photo or batch uploading a bunch of random photos, a ZIP file or sync an entire folder with dozens of sub-folders.

Scenarios of use (Use cases)

- birds eyeview of your entire gallery space in a "folder structure"
- batch upload/download photos or sync folders without the use of a web browser
- designate folders (w/ enforced access permissions) for clients to download their photos
- group collaboration with ease of a tap, swipe or the old school drag 'n drop (upload/reuploading photos)

Here's a list of clients I tested that works with Gallery2 WebDAV (over HTTP and full HTTPS (SSL))

Davi (Nokia Belle)
cURL (command line based - available on *NIX/Linux distros, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, etc...)</li>
Konqueror (web browser / file manager- available on *NIX/Linux distros, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, etc...)
WebDAV Navigator (Android, Windows Phone, Blackberry, iPhone, iPod touch & iPad)
OverTheAir (iPhone, iPod touch & iPad)</li>
my WebDAV (iPhone, iPod touch & iPad)
Transmit (Mac OS X)
AnyClient (Mac OS X, Windows, Unix/Linux) - free, requires Java
PhotoSync (iPhone, iPod touch & iPad)
FolderSync (Android)
DAVE-E (iPhone, iPod touch & iPad)
WebDAV Client (iPhone, iPod touch & iPad)
ddDAV (Windows) - free, Japanese users only.

Here's a list of WebDAV clients to avoid using. These clients render 0-byte files because they require a response for an "Expect: 100-continue" request.

CrossFTP, Forklift, Cyberduck, BitKinex, drive/folder mounting in Windows and Mac OS X (all versions)

If you're a software developer and want to make sure your WebDAV app works with Menalto Gallery 2, use the target below. Your client should not require a response for an "Expect: 100-continue" request. Else, file uploads will end up as 0-byte files.

Server URL: https://pixi.me/gallery2/w/webdav/
Login (username & password): webdav

- upload a ZIP file full of folders and sub-folders full of images and let Gallery2 do its magic.
