XYplorer Beta Club

I'm using the Custom Copy Operations to move data inside a Google Drive mount (by Google Drive app on Windows). Since this drive has unlimited space I'm having troubles by the "space check" xyplorer does. Some point of whats happening:

- The space reported on this mount is the space of my drive cache (local drive) and not the mount itself (the mount space is actually unlimited).
- Everything I'm moving is inside the mount, so the cache drive isn't used (this is only used when downloading/uploading files to Google Drive)
- Unfortunately my cache drive has very small space (SSD) and xyplorer will always check the space available on the "mount" and doesn't allow me to move if the amount I'm trying to move is bigger than my cache drive.

Is there any way I can disable this check or avoid this? I have to use Custom Copy, without it I have some rare problems when doing the same moves (downloads the files to upload to the new destination, instead of moving directly)

Please insert your Google Drive target path (the target path of your move operation) in the place of "C:\YourTargetPath\" below, then run this script line through the address bar: What is returned? The interesting question is: Is this path recognized as a Mount Point?

It seems it's not recognized as a NetworkLocation (I believe Google Drive app "mounts" this like a local drive):

Thanks. In the meantime I found a better solution. In the next beta it should just work. Free space check is completely skipped now for move operations in the same drive.

What about copies (on the same drive)?

For mounted cloud volumes (e.g. through rclone) the size of such a reported volume isn't "unlimited" as well.

Maybe something like this tweak: ShowFolderSizesExclude=

where you could state the volumes where size is disregarded by XY...

There is no way in XY now to recognize those mounted cloud volumes?

I just made it a simple checkbox option.

Tried out the new BETA and disabling the checkbox is working as intended!

Can you add another one or change the one already present to only apply to move operations within the same drive? There have been times where I wanted to move a big file from a directory to another and because the drive had less than the filesize of free space it warned me.

@1024mb: try reading the changelog, especially this part:

- Intra-volume moves do not check space anyway since this version so here
the setting is irrelevant.

Ha! Thanks!
