Network Drive

You can also integrate your Filen Cloud into your local file explorer to access your uploaded data just like a normal local drive.

To do this, click on the “Mounts” tab at the bottom left of the leftmost sidebar.

Network Drive

Here, too, you have several setting options:

  • Enabled
    You can activate or deactivate the Network Drive here. However, you should first go through the options below.

  • Drive letter (Windows)
    Here you can assign a specific letter to the network drive.

  • Mount Point (macOS/Linux)
    Here you should either enter
    "/Users/YourUsername/FilenDrive"
    or
    "/Volumes/FilenDrive"
    You can of course change the name FilenDrive, it is only a matter of the actual path.
    The destination directory needs to be empty.

  • Read only
    Here you can set whether you only want to use the network drive in read only mode.
    When activated, you cannot upload, delete or move data.

  • Cache
    The cache size used is displayed here.

Once you have checked or configured everything, you can now activate the network drive with the first option above.

On Windows it looks like this in file explorer, for example:
