Describe the bug
New Version 5 in Windows installed do not show drive letters

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Connect a Remote Drive
2. I see it is now sorted under a MountainDuck node but not under PC and the drives as usual

Expected behavior
I expect to have still my drive letter (for example: "H:") like with the previous Version.

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows
• Version: 5.0.1

Log Files
Please include the log file. You can reach the logging output in Preferences → Connection.

Additional context
With the missing drive letter it becomes confusing for the users and scripts which requires a drive letter not workig.

This is expected when connecting with the new Integrated connect mode which is the default for new connections ¹.

But that's an horror for non technical users which are used to have a drive letter.

And now all "most recent files" places are not available and result in an error. It is a nightmare :/

[muescha]

Is there a way to create a drive letter on windows so that it behave like before?

[muescha]

Instead of:
H:\FolderA\FolderB\File.txt

The path is now:

Mountain Duck\gsggdydyeh-gggg-hhfb-dghe-djdjfjfjf\ \FolderA\FolderB\File.txt

That's not a user friendly way to show files in the last used files view 🤷‍♂️

To mount as a drive letter, choose Smart Synchronization or Online connect mode.
