2. Click Add roles and features.

3. You will be prompted with Before You Begin screen. Click Next.

5. Select the server on which SharePoint is installed from the server pool and click Next.
6. You will see Server Roles. Just click Next.
7. Under Features, scroll down to find User Interfaces and Infrastructure. Expand this node and select    
     Desktop Experience and click Next. This installation also requires installation of Ink and Handwriting
     Services. Finish this wizard and Restart your Server.
8. Now you are ready to use WebDav feature. i.e. You can open a SharePoint library in Windows Explorer.
    You can upload multiple files and folders by Copy and Past or Drag and Drop.
