Mount Point Drive Letters

nemisis010 · August 3, 2021, 2:59am

Just wondering if there is any way to get A and B drive letters available to be assigned as a mount point?
I use these two letters for my mapped network drive data and hoping to continue using them while using Cryptomator.

Welcome to the Cryptomator Communit

Not anymore. It was possible in an older version but it was removed (can’t find the reason anymore, but they weren’t technical ones).

Maybe they’ll find their way “back” into the mount point selection, but i need to find out why we removed them at first.

That’s a shame, would love to see those drives enabled for use.

Having C as standard for system drive and D + for additional drives it may be a little messed up in Windows explorer when looking for files. Especially if you have some more drives brought from cryptomator - A+B from Cryptomator in front of - C System and - D, E, F standard additonal drives and after this - G+H from Cryptomator => would be handy - to start from the end (z, if available and go down) - or, since this may give a a problem when having more than about 20 drives brought from cryptomator give setting for earliest start value e.g. M ... ### System Setup * Operating system and version: [Window 10 Pro] * Cryptomator version: [1.5] * Drive: [Dokany]
