Can someone help with adding iCloud Drive to explorer navigation pane?

Hi klepp0906

Did you download and install iCloud for Windows?

You can only install iCloud on a PC if you have a Apple device setup with an Apple ID.

I guess it makes sense, you want it.

I would imagine you could get it to list under libraries but that wouldn't be much different than it being in Quick Access.

Not sure how to make it a "Heading" although this is likely a Registry hack. Hopefully another member has had the same requirement.

Maybe the answer is to get a "Better" file manager that allows for more default customizations.

I did, I do. However icloud drive does not appear in the navigation pane. It pins it to quick access - but im looking for a means to perma-place it the same as dropbox and onedrive. Does that make sense?

Google Drive presented the same issue but a batch file available here remedied that. Unfortunately, ive looked far and wide and had no luck coming up with a similar solution for icloud drive.

Maybe upload and post that batch file, and someone here can tinker with it to work with iCloud. Just a thought.

Your request must make sense.

I searched creating a top level category in windows 10 file explorer and plenty of hits, no answers.

I like TC's suggestion.

Doesn't that sound like something Shawn would have cooked up? Bet he's got it deep down in his bag of tricks.

It does....

I'm afraid that I don't know for iCloud.
