IDrive e2 as a Windows Drive Letter: Mount Your End-to-End Encrypted Backup for $1.99/Month

IDrive e2 + ScsDriver = Native Drive Letter on Windows

IDrive e2 is a zero-knowledge end-to-end encrypted cloud storage built on IDrive's infrastructure. Combined with ScsDriver, you can mount your IDrive e2 bucket as a Windows drive letter (e.g. E:).

Why IDrive e2?

  • Zero-knowledge E2E encryption — client-side AES-256, only you hold the key
  • S3-compatible API — works with any S3 client, not locked in
  • Affordable long-term storage — pricing per GB is much lower than Dropbox / Google Drive
  • WebDAV gateway available — for paid plans

Why mount it as a drive letter?

A drive letter treats your encrypted backup like a local disk:

  • Drag-and-drop files in and out of your IDrive e2 vault from any Windows app
  • No sync client, no local plaintext cache
  • Backup tools that target E:\ will run automatically
  • Open encrypted files directly without downloading first

How to map IDrive e2 as a drive letter in 3 steps

  1. In IDrive e2, create a WebDAV access token and copy the WebDAV URL + credentials
  2. Install ScsDriver on Windows
  3. Add a connection: paste the URL + credentials. Pick a drive letter (E:, I:, ...)

Done. Your zero-knowledge backup bucket now appears under This PC.

Price

ScsDriver is $1.99/month or $9.99/year — flexible billing, no hidden fees. A 7-day free trial is available so you can verify everything works with your IDrive e2 setup before paying.
