How to Mount a Cloud Drive on Windows 11: A 2026 Walkthrough

Описание и применение

Подключение облачного диска к Windows 11 за пять минут с помощью ScsDriver обеспечивает доступ к файлам как к локальному SSD, улучшая производительность в приложениях для творчества.

Задача

Apps like Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, Photoshop, and Lightroom need local‑SSD‑like access to cloud files.

Результат

Mounting a cloud drive on Windows 11 takes about five minutes with ScsDriver, providing local‑SSD‑like performance for creative apps.

Рабочий процесс

• Pick a backend (Nextcloud, MinIO, ScsDriver cloud, Wasabi, Backblaze B2).
• Install ScsDriver from https://drive.scsoi.com/.
• Obtain the WebDAV URL from the backend (Nextcloud Files app or ScsDriver settings).
• Create an app password in Nextcloud or use S3 keys.
• Add the endpoint in ScsDriver: set protocol, URL, username, password, test and save.
• Mount the endpoint as a drive letter (e.g., N:).
• Configure local cache: set cache directory, size, enable stream large files.
• Verify with a real app (e.g., open a Premiere project from N:\).
• Enable auto‑mount on boot in ScsDriver settings.
• Handle edge cases: laptop sleep, slow network, concurrent editing.
