To mount webdav folder in client either use user-specific URL that can be copied from bottom-left part of screen after logging into webUI or use a generic URL such as: 
<pre>
https://<server>/owncloud/remote.php/webdav
</pre>
Note that in generic URL after remote.php there is webdav.  In user specific URL after remote.php there is dav.


Once URL for mounting folder in client machine is determined, use following steps to mount:
# Install davfs package
#:<pre>
#::     yum -y install davfs2
#:</pre>
# Mount using URL
#:<pre>
#::     mount -t davfs <Server-URL> /mnt/owncloud-test
#:</pre>
#:: There will be prompt for username and password
# To store username and password edit <tt>/etc/davfs2/secrets</tt> and use format:
#:<pre>
#::<Server-URL>  <username>  <password>
#:</pre>
#:For example
#::<pre>
#:::     https://files.example.com/owncloud/remote.php/dav/files/admin/  admin  password
#::</pre>
#:::     and then use mount command to mount without requiring password
# To umount use:
#:<pre>
#::     umount /mnt/owncloud-test
#:</pre>


'''Note that default cache will go in /var/cache/davfs2 and ~/.davfs2/cache   This matters as if no. of open files is large these folders start occupying lot of space.''' ( https://linux.die.net/man/5/davfs2.conf ).  During logout of shutdown if umount happens then the files from these folders would be synced to server and then logoff / shutdown will succeed.  Do not use force-reboot or force-poweroff in systems which have data in davfs cache which is not yet synced with parent server.
