Device Configuration XML For Windows Drive

Client Device configuration settings can be configured remotely by specifying the configuration XML using policies.

For most clients, if the user changes the configuration locally, then the remote settings configured by the Administrator will override those settings the next time the client refreshes its settings.


To set a device configuration for a policy:

  1. Open a browser and log in the Admin Portal.
  2. From the left navigation pane, select Settings.
  3. To open the list of policies, select the Policies tab.
  4. Click the policy that you want to configure, and then click the edit icon ().
  5. Click on the Device Configuration tab.
  6. In Client Configuration, paste or type in the following remote device configuration XML. 

    <xml>
         <winclouddrive>
            <!-- XML for Windows Drive -->
         </winclouddrive>
    </xml>
  7. Replace the <!-- XML for Windows Drive --> line with the parameters that you need using the descriptions in Table 1. 

 

Table 1. The following XML tags are supported for the Windows Drive device configuration.

Supported keys for Windows FileCloud Drive. All keys are optional. One of more of these keys can be supplied to drive's section of XML command.

mountpointSet the mount point to use to mount filecloud drive in windows. This will only take effect on drive restart<mountpoint>H:</mountpoint>
driveloginmodeSetting this to "0" will cause filecloud drive to use username/password to log into the Filecloud server. Setting this value to "1" will cause drive to use device code authentication mode<driveloginmode>1</driveloginmode>
drivelockonupdateSetting this value to 1 will enable automatic lock on edit function in FileCloud Drive. Setting this to 0 will disable the drive's lock on edit function<drivelockonupdate>1</drivelockonupdate>

drivedefaultstorageingb

Increases the storage space of the FileCloud Drive user. Default = 15.
The configuration becomes effective after FileCloud Drive is restarted.

Note: The FileCloud user must have unlimited storage (User Storage Quota is set to 0 in user policy) for the value to be applied. 

<drivedefaultstorageingb>15</drivedefaultstorageingb>

checkupdatesSetting this value to 1 will enable automatic checking for new versions of FileCloudDrive and setting this value to 0 will disable it.<checkupdates>1</checkupdates>
cachelocationThe default cache path is %APPDATA%/FileCloudDrive/ . This path can be changed to a different location using this key. Any path set must be a valid path on the computer where FileCloudDrive runs.

<cachelocation>E:\DriveCache<cachelocation>
or
<cachelocation>${HOME}\DriveCache<cachelocation>

or
<cachelocation>C:\somepath\${USERID}\DriveCache</cachelocation>

disableprecaching

Setting this value to 1 disables precaching. 

If many Drive users have access to a large data structure, the FileCloud server may experience a high load. This can be avoided by deactivating precaching. However, folder contents will no longer be cached in Drive which can lead to longer response times.

<disableprecaching>1</disableprecaching>
disableautologinBy default, once a drive is mounted, the authentication will be reused on every FileCloudDrive start ups. Setting this key to 1 will require authentication from user on every start up.<disableautologin>1</disableautologin>
currentlanguageBy default English will be the default language. This key can be used to set the default language for FileCloudDrive. The current values that are supported are
english, dutch, french
<currentlanguage>french</currentlanguage>
