  1. Hi, I am in a very similar situation so it seemed a good idea to revive this post instead of creating a new one. Since Drive Bender development has stopped, and my Drivebender installation started misbehaving after recent windows updates, I am trying out Drivepool. I have been using Drivebender for a long time with 3 mount points to the pool , and I have somewhat painted myself in a corner doing so it seems. My pool consists of 6 drives and have E: , F: and G: mounts. Many, many files I have created for my job internally refer to folders on those different mount points (2D/3D and video software projects linked to external libraries/files) . I would really like to avoid having to relink each and every asset in those files, so the network drive solution seems like the way to go. But the issue with that is, as far as I am aware, that there is no Recycle Bin functionality. I can not risk losing client files, so this is scary to me. Would there be a possibility to create virtual disks of some sorts and link folders residing on Drivepool to those so that I can Ctrl-Z accidental deletions? I'm guessing Drive Bender does something like that behind the scenes. I don't think it uses Subst (DB allows renaming mounts), and the mount points show up with regular drive icons and have Recycle Bin functionality. As far as I can imagine it could be possible but the issue would be the drive size management? The obvious thing to do would be to only use the network drives so the software can find the files and to use the Drivepool mount for any direct file manipulations. Changing decade old habits is tough though, so if I can find a workaround that keeps everything as before would be great. Thanks for any insight you might have!
