Windows 10: Can someone help with adding iCloud Drive to explorer navigation pane?

I’ve managed to add every single thing I’ve wanted - largely via information and/or reg files I’ve found here.

The one that is missing (and likely a little convoluted courtesy of Apple) is iCloud Drive.

Anyone familiar with the process able to help me out?

:)

 

iCloud For Windows To Show Up on This Computer (Windows Explorer)

Hi Chris,

iCloud will not automatically be added to your Quick Access panel in File Explorer. But, you can definitely have it shown on your computer. Kindly follow the steps provided below:

• By default, your iCloud Drive folder will be in your main User folder. For example, in C:/Users/User1/iCloud Drive.
  
• Navigate to the director's location in File Explorer.
• Find the folder "iCloud Drive" and right click on it.
• Select "Pin to Quick Access" to have a shortcut permanently in the left-hand pane in File Explorer as seen in the image above.

Keep us updated if anything comes up so we can further assist you.

 

Show fixed drives in navigation pane

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern, I will be glad to assist you with this.

In order for the drives to appear in the navigation pane, I would suggest you to pin the drives in quick access. This way, every time you open file explorer, you will be able to easily access and see the drives on the navigation pane. To do so, follow the
steps below:

1. Press Windows key + E to open file explorer.

2. Click This PC on the left pane.

3. Left click on a drive and drag it under the quick access pane and release the mouse once you see the "pin to quick access" popup

4. Repeat the steps for the remaining drives.

Hope this helps.

Let us know if you need further assistance, we will be glad to help.

 

Drive listing on navigation pane

Since updating to version 1511, I've noticed that the navigation pane in file explorer no longer lists my drives in order of the drive letters. They are now listed based on the nickname of the drive which after all these years makes it very confusing. I
now have to be scrolling the list to make sure I'm opening the correct drive. ANNOYING.

Is there a simple way to force the navigation pane to list them in order of drive letters?
