Connect Cloud Storage and Map Drive

RaiDrive supports a Chinese interface and is very easy to use. In this article, we will take Google Photos as an example. Due to well-known reasons, Google services are inaccessible in China, so please prepare a VPN. Then, click on "Settings" - "Set HTTP Proxy" - set the proxy to 127.0.0.1:1080 as shown in the screenshot below.

HTTP Proxy Settings

Click on the "Add" button in the upper right corner - select Google Photos - don't forget to check "Proxy".

Add Google Photos

This will automatically open the browser for authorization. Follow the prompts to complete the authorization, as shown in the screenshot below.

Authorization

After the authorization is completed, you will see the following prompt, indicating that the mount was successful.

You can now see the mounted cloud storage in the RaiDrive interface. The process is similar for mounting other cloud storage services.

Conclusion

RaiDrive currently only supports Windows systems and is easy to use. Another similar tool is Rclone, which supports more cloud storage services and can be mounted on servers, but it does not have a graphical interface.
