ResoDrive

Mount Nextcloud, other WebDAV storage, and SFTP servers as drives in Windows.

Download · Report an issue · Changelog

ResoDrive is a small Windows tray app for storage that normally lives in a browser or command line. Connect Nextcloud, WebDAV, or SFTP, choose a drive letter, and use the storage from Explorer. By default, closing the window keeps active mounts and transfers running in the tray. With Minimize to tray turned off, closing the window uses the same checks and confirmation as Exit.

What it does

• Mount Nextcloud, WebDAV, and SFTP storage in Explorer.
• Use passwords or SFTP private keys without putting credentials in profiles.
• Choose which drives mount at sign-in and how they reconnect.
• Run one-way copy or mirror jobs with readable progress and recent results.
• Keep enrolled Nextcloud downloads in managed folders included in remote wipe, with durable cleanup and explicit scope.
• Pick up remote wipe for existing Nextcloud app-password connections after an update, without reconnecting them.
• Keep credentials encrypted for your Windows account and rclone isolated from any system installation.
• Recover from background interruptions and unreliable connections automatically.

See it in action

Drives at a glance Mount storage, open mounted locations, and reach each drive's settings from one place.
Guided setup Add Nextcloud, WebDAV, or SFTP storage without hand-editing configuration files.	Copy and mirror jobs See direction, completion details, transferred data, checks, and one-click controls.
Components and settings Keep dependencies current, export your settings, or import a configuration you saved earlier.	Readable activity Review recent mount and transfer results without digging through raw logs.

All names, hosts, and paths shown above are fictional demonstration data.

It runs on 64-bit Windows 11 and supported Windows 10 LTSC or Enterprise releases as old as version 1809. The setup program installs the .NET 10 Desktop Runtime only when it is missing. Mounting a drive requires WinFsp; copy and mirror jobs do not.

Install

Download ResoDrive-Setup.exe from the latest release, run it, and open ResoDrive. The first time through:

1. Let ResoDrive download and verify rclone.
2. Add your storage connection and choose a free drive letter.
3. If you want a mounted drive, install WinFsp when prompted.

Your settings, encrypted credentials, logs, cache, and managed rclone copy live in %LOCALAPPDATA%\rdrive. An upgrade leaves that folder alone. After the first install, you can check for and install ResoDrive updates from Settings. Application and rclone downloads can continue from a partial file after a dropped connection, which avoids starting large transfers again on metered or satellite links. Downloads can be cancelled from Settings and resumed later.

Mounted drives show queued uploads and cache errors when rclone can report them. ResoDrive checks these again before disconnecting, reconnecting or preparing an update. Close open documents first: no queued uploads does not mean that another application has saved its changes. Recovered processes and unavailable statistics are shown explicitly; Windows shutdown and crashes cannot provide this safeguard. Readiness checks run periodically, including after resume, but do not prove server connectivity when files can be served from cache.

Use Settings → Export diagnostics to create a report with component versions, numeric performance options, mount states and recent UI error references. Names, addresses, paths, credentials and raw log messages are omitted. Review the report before sharing it.

Adding and editing a drive use the same caching controls under Advanced: cache mode, cache size target, and retention since last access. Presets and custom values are supported. New drives use read and write caching; existing drives keep their previous mode until you change it. An older drive that now shows Writes only was previously shown as Standard even though read caching was not enabled. Save and accept Apply and reconnect to apply changes to a mounted drive. The configured-options summary describes the settings to apply, not a running mount.

Deployment profiles

You do not need a profile file for personal use. ResoDrive opens with manual setup when no profiles.json is present.

For a team deployment, start with profiles.sample.json, add the connection presets you want to offer, and save the result as:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\rdrive\profiles.json

Profiles are for connection details and defaults. Do not put passwords, tokens, or private keys in them.

Profile cache flags populate the dedicated controls. Other approved arguments remain in Additional rclone options, with one --option=value or standalone switch per line. Profiles are copied when a connection is created; updating a profile file or upgrading the app does not rewrite existing drives. Sync jobs have their own options and do not inherit mount cache or timeout flags.

Build from source

Install the .NET 10 SDK, then run:

dotnet test resodrive.slnx --configuration Release
.\build.ps1

The verified setup executable, MSI, and portable package are written to artifacts\win-x64. The app is framework-dependent to keep downloads small; the setup executable handles the runtime prerequisite for new installations.
