I am trying to map WebDAV folder from a NextCloud 12 instance as a Network Drive on Windows 7. I am following the commonly used procedure that goesMap Network Drive --> Connect to a Web site that you can use to store your documents and pictures --> Choose a custom network location and specify my WebDAV URL: as a dialog pops up that says something like "The folder you entered does not appear to be valid. Specify another name" (sorry for the localized version below)
I could successfully connect to this same URL on my Linux/Gnome machine after replacing https with davs, as this is the standard URL prefix for WebDAV on Gnome.
I also verified that the self-signed SSL certificate from this Nextcloud instance is accepted by Windows by making sure that NextCloud webpage opens in Internet Explorer without a warning.
Here is the complete tree of windows that I have got open while trying to map the network drive.

The solution appears to be the same as for the follow up question: make sure that WebClient Service is enabled and started.
Try to use another syntax:
\\your.domain.org@SSL\yourWebDav
