How to change the Mount Name for FileCloudDrive?

Original Question or Issue:

Is it possible to change the name of FileCloud Drives mount name?

The mount name is:
"FileCloudDrive (\\FileCloudDrive) (E:)" - very long.
Can it be reduced to the length, for example -  "FC (E:)"


Environment:

  • Product - FileCloud Drive
  • Version - Any
  • Platform - Any

Cause:

 


Resolution or Workaround:

Currently, we don't have the option to change the FileCloud Drive mount name entirely. Our only option is to set the Mount name as your Display name via a flag in the config.xml.


To do this, you can follow these steps.

  • Open the FileCloud Drive configuration file for editing. 
    • It is located in Program Files/FileCloud Drive/service/config.xml.
  • Add the following key:
    • <useuniquemountlabel>1</useuniquemountlabel>
