XYplorer freezes while browsing a virtual drive

Post by kavusha »

Hi Everybody.
I tried to mount my smartphone as a virtual drive on my PC with CloudMounter, ExpanDriver and RaiDrive using FTP-type of connection. Xyplorer can't handle any of them. As soon as I start browsing the contents of the Drive it freezes. On the contrary Total Commander, File Pilot or even Windows File Explorer seem do not have any problem with that. I can go with ease through all of the content.
Is it a known issue? Or am I doing something wrong?

Thank you in advance!
Kavi.

They connect the smartphone as a drive with a drive letter?

Hmm, that should just work. When exactly does it freeze? Got a screenshot?

Yes, sure.
It freezes the moment I click on any folder listed in the drive.

Free space 93132 GB? On a smartphone? This is already a sign that something is off.

Which of the three apps should I try to reproduce this (if they have a free trial)?

Try the CloudMounter. It works best for me. A 14-day PRO trial starts automatically on the first launch, allowing full access to all features.
There is also a nice piece of software which is called Backup Chain DriveMaker and it is free for personal and commercial use. It gave me the same results. The only drawback being a limited session time.

How do you mount a phone in CloudMounter? It does not seem to be offered.

There are a lot of android apps which offer FTP-Server functionality. I use Solid Explorer, which is also my go-to file explorer. Want to try this?

Hmm, that's a bit too far out. Sorry, but downgraded to low priority for now.
