[REQUEST FEAT] Drive name

Cindakil · April 12, 2018, 7:47am

Hi

It would be very useful if we can add some flag to give a name of the mounted unit (Windows).

For example: rclone mount google: X: --name=“GoogleDrive”

and the windows broser shows the unit as GoogleDrive instead the only letter X:

Maybe it’s possible?

THANKS

Seems possible just needs rclone to pass it over to winfsp.

Likely this will just work then with -o volname=WHATEVER

Thanks for the help, I’m trying with the lastest beta and seems that it doesn’t works

I’m pretty sure that is the correct syntax. Make sure you are using the latest WinFSP and if that still doesn’t work, start the mount with -vv --debug-fuse and hopefully there will be something helpful in the logs!

On OSX rclone uses this flag to set the volume name to be the remote:path of the mount. Would that be useful under windows?

I’d say that’s a useful default.

Did anyone make it work with the new WinFSP?
