Using Dokan for mounting Cloud storage like Amazon S3, Azure, Cloud drive, etc.

[waterfallbay]

Hi,

I am new to Dokan.

I am in the research of finding a way to mount a Cloud storage drive
as a Windows Network drive. Is it possible to achieve this by using
Dokan?

I also want to see if it is possible to mount a SFTP or FTP server
with Dokan.

Thanks.

FTP can be done, see my fledgling project @

Hi,

You can do But you have to mind it Readfile functionlaity..

In this you have more calls from the filesystem like will read tagging mp3 files and thumbnail reads from explorer.  this only starange..

Yes, you can definitely do something like that. Be aware that Dokan is not exactly the most well-documented, but the interfaces are relatively straightforward. Do you have any specific questions?

You ever try this out or have any luck with it?  I'm looking for some solutions to mount Amazon S3's in code on Windows and some nice command line tools would be a godsend.  It was so much easier to do on the Mac side.

Hi! (Resurrecting the post).

Have you did it? I'm trying a lot, but no success... I'm trying on the Mirror sample.

Somebody can help me?

Thank you!

For you this idea, I have tried to use the Linux cloud storage. Windows with dokan, the general read and write file is not a problem, but to fully compatible with the application of NTFS windows, is not realistic, as well as the dokan driver is not stable, the development of the product is difficult to commercial. For example, the NTFS windows support file name  “AAA”，find file name “aaa” also find, but the Linux file system is not，and something...，now，i have no dokan driver support ，Very difficult。

It is perfectly possible. I did it, and from what I understand of the
mailing list archives, other companies did it. What is what you are
trying?

What Shiping Tan says is true. It's definitely a problem that a remote
file system can store a file like "foo\bar.txt" or two files named
"hello.doc", when locally the user will not be able to distinguish
them. Is up to you to implement some kind of encoding. This is not
necessarily the biggest problem, though. A file system is very prone
to race conditions. Add to that a server, and you'll have some fun. :)

I'm trying to mount a Azure Blob Storage as a local drive, like this -> https://github.com/richorama/AzureBlobDrive

The problem with the project that I quote above, is that it not copies big/medium files (30MB as example). The error "0x800705AA: Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service." occurs.

I was thinking that the problem can be the dokan version used and I wanna adapt this dokan project to it, but I did not have success in my compilation.

Thank you so much.

I've seen an error like this in the issues:

I can't help, though, since I don't use the C# bindings. Also, I haven't experienced this, since in my filesystem, when a file is written through my file system, it's written immediately to disk (in a different location, kind of like a "cache"). Then, after a timeout of inactivity, is uploaded to the server. This might be the reason or not, just a guess after reading the comments.
