Mount phone as drive letter

[ibay770]

Is it possible to add an option to mount the phone as a drive letter so it can be access by other programs as well?

Thanks in advance,

If the phone is plugged in via USB, the windows explorer displays its file structure, provided this was enabled on the phone. The explorer shows the internal folder and a sd card folder, if present. However, it is not possible to assign a drive letter in contrast to hard disks or SD cards in the computer's slots. I has alredy searched for such an option but in the internet, I found explanations why this is not possible, but i do not remember these in detail.

So far, this is not a MPE related question.

As MPE displays the phone's file system in the MPE program itself, there will also be no possibility to make this available as a drive. I would guess that MPE'a author does not consider to add such a function

Besides MPE, there exist other programs on the net resp. in the appstore, which act as a server to allow network access to at least a part of the phone's file system, however I do not know any, which allows a drive letter to be assigned, but probably might allow access via network path. Maybe you should look for something like this.

I agree.

One of these programs, probably the most popular one, is called MTP-Alternative USB Drive. It allows you to access the phone storage as a network drive, but you can map a network drive to a letter....
