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 is on | Read-only | |
| File Lock is on | File Lock | |
| Mounted as a local disk instead of a network drive | Local Disk | |
| Mounted as a network drive (the default) — replaces the local-disk icon | Local Disk | |
| A Public local-disk drive (Private shows no icon here) | Local Disk | |
| Traffic for this drive goes through the configured proxy | Proxy | |
| 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 | |
| Reconnects automatically at program start (or at boot, for a public local disk) | Reconnect | |
| Asks you to sign in again on every connection instead of staying signed in | Sign in on each connection | |
| 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 | |
| A bandwidth limit is active; hover to see the MB/s value | Bandwidth | |
