    WD My Cloud Home Drive - Permanently Mapping Drive Letters


    This is more of a solution post, than a question. I couldn't find the answer anywhere.

    ==


    I have 2, 8-TB WD My Cloud Home devices. I was having an issue where they were swapping Mapped Network Drive Letters. I needed them to stay what they were all the time, it wasn't something that should change.


    I spoke with Western Digital and they said to correct the issue, each device needs to have a Reserved IP Address on the Router. Having them assigned as DHCP will allow them to connect in a first-come-first-in fashion by changing their IP address. They start assigning drives as Z: and work backward. My Y: drive was switching to Z: and vice-versa. The Reserved IP allows them to set their specific IP and always be that drive letter.

    :)

    Files only delete permanently from folder mapped to drive letter

    Using win 10-64.

    I have a local folder mapped to a drive letter. I established the mapping by creating a registry key for the drive letter in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\DOS Devices

    Whenever I delete a file from that "drive" it bypasses the recycle bin and gets permanently deleted.

    When I check the recycle bin I see that the drive letter does not appear on the list of Recycle Bin Locations.

    Is there a workaround for this?

    How to mount cloud storage as drive letters / mapped network drives

    I'd like to mount Google Drive as a mapped network drive. (Then use the drive letter for programs so I can get the size of files/folders in my cloud storage, search for specific file/folders as well as able to search for file dups).

    I've searched online and found a handful of products offerings including
    • NetDrive
    • TNT Drive
    • Cloudberry Drive
    • ExpanDrive
    • CloudMounter
    • SME

    Does anyone have some real-life, hands-on experience with any of these (or other products) they might recommend? Of course, something free would be ideal but I don't mind paying something (reasonable) for s/w that meets my needs
    I'll also be adding OneDrive down the road so would like support for that as well

    Thanks for any feedack/information!!
