Options

Every drive has its own properties — open them with the Edit button on the drive. The same view appears when you add a drive, so everything here applies to Add as well.

Disconnect before editing

A connected drive cannot be edited. Click Disconnect first, change the settings, then connect again.

What you can configure

Group Settings Page
Basic options Drive letter & name, reconnect behavior, sign in on each connection, read-only, local disk, file lock, proxy General
Advanced options Capacity, bandwidth limits, file preview, instant file properties, async change updates, date-modified handling, process monitoring, quick copy/move/delete Advanced Options
Connection details Address, account, path, charset, TLS — these are storage-specific; see the storage guide for your service —

Status icons

Small icons appear between the free-space text and the buttons — each one only shows up when it applies to that drive, so most drives show just a few:

Grouped by where you turn them on — General first, then Advanced Options — and within that, the three Local Disk icons kept together:

Icon Meaning Set in
Read-only icon Read-only is on Read-only
File Lock icon File Lock is on File Lock
Local disk icon Mounted as a local disk instead of a network drive Local Disk
Network drive icon Mounted as a network drive (the default) — replaces the local-disk icon Local Disk
Public local disk icon A Public local-disk drive (Private shows no icon here) Local Disk
Proxy icon Traffic for this drive goes through the configured proxy Proxy
Secure connection icon The connection is encrypted (HTTPS, FTPS, or SFTP's own SSH encryption) The checkbox next to Address — a real toggle for WebDAV, Nextcloud, and FTP (ftps); locked on for SFTP, which is always encrypted
Reconnect icon Reconnects automatically at program start (or at boot, for a public local disk) Reconnect
Sign in on each connection icon Asks you to sign in again on every connection instead of staying signed in Sign in on each connection
R icon W icon Lit up while RaiDrive is reading or writing a file on this drive right now — only if process monitoring is on for this drive Process Monitor
Download limit icon Upload limit icon A bandwidth limit is active; hover to see the MB/s value Bandwidth
Feature not in plan icon The drive uses a feature your current plan doesn't include raidrive.com/pricing
