Re: Blomp Go for Z drive not working

How do I verify if my Blomp Go is working, does it mean I would see a Z: drive in my computer?
I already have other network drive mapped as z: drive
should I change it? I'm using windows 10 with newest build
I would like to know the working state of Blomp Go with some picture, or detailed instruction
Thank you

Hi Eric, From what I can see the Blomp Go Z drive can not be changed, so if you disconnect your current Z drive and remap this as another letter then run the Blomp Go application you should see the drive. Alternatiely you could use something lie RClone to create a "Blomp" drive as any letter you wish.

Hi Eric, once you install RClone, you can make two files, one for RClone to connect to the Blomp Drive called "clone.conf" which should be in the "%AppData%\Roaming\rclone\" folder on windows.

----------------------------------------------------------------
# Blomp online storage with disabled chunking and continue on error
[blomp-remote]
type = swift
user = BLOMPEMAILHERE
key = BLOMPPASSWORDHERE
auth = https://authenticate.ain.net
tenant = storage
auth_version = 2
endpoint_type = public
leave_parts_on_error = true
chunk_size = 1P
no_chunk = false

# Alias for Blomp online storage for easier access
[blomp-alias]
type = alias
remote = blomp-remote:BLOMPEMAILHERE
----------------------------------------------------------------

Copy and paste the lines above and save the file.

The other file is a batch file to create and map the drive as a windows network drive, I have this in my documents folder and use NSSM to create a windows service using the batch file to auto map on boot, restart on crash etc. NSSM can be downloaded from "https://nssm.cc/download" it does not need to be used you can just run the batch file as you wish, but this makes it automatic.

How to create the service with NSSM - "http://www.onurbaysan.com/nssm/"

The batch file should contain the bellow line

----------------------------------------------------------------
rclone mount blomp-alias: Z: --network-mode --volname \\BlompDrive\Storage --vfs-disk-space-total-size 10T
----------------------------------------------------------------

Change the "Z" to any available letter you wish, The "volname" to any name you wish by changing the "\\BlompDrive\Storage" part keeping the "\"s in the same locations and finally the "10T" at the end to your storage amount to show how full your drive currently is.

Hope this helps.

Hi Blomper,

Thanks for working with us and sorry for all the trouble!

When rclone is behaving in ways that seem mysterious or unhelpful, it can provide a very helpful log file.

If you add both of these options to your command line, you'll see what rclone is thinking and doing.

--log-file=mylogfile.txt
--log-level DEBUG

[if DEBUG produces too much info, you can go to INFO, depends on the nature of the challenge rclone is having]

(for reference) https://forum.rclone.org/t/how-to-gener ... lone/13053

Thanks and Blomp On!
