How to mount Smartphone as drive S:, jump to folder S:\data\ and expand it automatically?

Open tobwz opened this issue 10 months ago • 3 comments

As in the topic already written I am searching for a way to not just simply assign the next free (or another arbitrary) drive letter but assign it to a certain drive letter (e.g. S:).

Furthermore Android should after mount automatically jump to folder

S:\data\

and expand it (=show contents in right pane).

Maybe this can be implemented by a "remember last config" checkbox. Or by explicit options.

That's already possible. You can do that by right clicking on the AndroidDrive icon in the task bar, going to Devices, selecting the drive you want to change, and going to Drive settings:

What do you mean? That it should open S:\data\ in Windows Explorer? If so, which right pane do you mean?

Ok, when I have time I can add an option to allow selecting which folder to open. Regarding the left pane, that's not something AndroidDrive can control, that's something you can control yourself in Windows Explorer by going to Folder Options > View > Expand to open folder: https://superuser.com/a/1343732/513819.
