Alibaba Cloud Disk 3.5.1 beta beta version installation difficulties
Mounting the cloud disk to a PC as a local hard disk is a necessity for many cloud disk users. Compared with third-party tools, Alibaba Cloud Disk’s official mounting function Obviously more popular, but the mount option cannot be found in the Alibaba Cloud Disk settings interface. This is mainly because the current Alibaba Cloud Disk only adds the mounting function in the 3.5.1 beta internal test version, and the Alibaba Cloud Disk in normal use There is no manual update and upgrade option for the disk (Figure 1). For users who want to experience the official mounting function of Alibaba Cloud disk, they need to separately download and reinstall the 3.5.1 beta internal version of Alibaba Cloud disk.
3.5.1 beta The setting interface of the internal beta version of Alibaba Cloud Disk provides mounting options. After entering the mounting disk interface, the user can check "Automatically mount at startup". The specific operation method is published in the 24th issue of "Computer News" On page 28, "From online playback to mounting! The 20TB Alibaba cloud disk turns into a local disk."
What is very interesting here is that if the latest version (3.6.0 and above) of Alibaba Cloud Disk has been installed locally on the PC, the system will prompt the user after detecting "You have installed a newer version of Alibaba Cloud Disk. This old version cannot be installed." , do you want to jump to the official website to download the latest installation package?" (Figure 2). Just select "No" when such a prompt appears, because the installation package version of the 3.5.1 beta internal testing version is indeed lower. What we need to do at this time is to delete the currently installed PC version of Alibaba Cloud Disk in the control panel. Then choose to install again.
It is recommended that after logging in to the 3.5.1 beta internal test version of Alibaba Cloud Disk, first enter the settings interface to cancel the default check of "Automatically update to the latest version", and then choose to enable the mounted disk to prevent the system from automatically updating the upgraded version. There is no "mount disk" function. After the Alibaba Cloud disk is mounted, the network disk and Alibaba Cloud disk can be interconnected.
Now direct transfer from Baidu network disk to Alibaba Cloud disk
When Alibaba Cloud disk has been mounted locally and "formally" became a local disk, in theory it can be used as a local disk. In this way , Compared with the past interoperability between Alibaba Cloud Disk and Baidu Network Disk that used local disks as a transit, now because Alibaba Cloud Disk has been mounted as a local disk, it is fully possible to transmit data directly.
After the theoretical hypothesis is established, start Baidu Cloud Disk and click "Transfer" on the settings interface of Baidu Cloud Disk. The software itself will provide a default download file storage location. We need to check "Default this path is the download path". Click the "Browse" button to make changes (Figure 3).
The changes here are very interesting. After directly selecting the Alibaba cloud disk with the drive letter Just point the save address to a specific folder in the root directory of the network disk. Baidu will default that the file is reasonable (Figure 4).
After such discussion settings, when downloading files on Baidu Cloud Disk, they can be downloaded directly to Alibaba Cloud Disk. For many users with limited space on Baidu Cloud Disk who want to try Alibaba Cloud Disk, such data transfer is very important. In fact, after all, Alibaba Cloud Disk is in the promotion period. On the one hand, you can win a lot of permanent use space of Alibaba Cloud Disk through interactive activities. On the other hand, Alibaba Cloud Disk's online playback function is also quite good, and can provide users with more choose.
Finally, I would like to remind everyone that in the process of direct data transfer from Baidu Cloud Disk to Alibaba Cloud Disk, there is still some gap between the download speed and Baidu Cloud Disk directly downloading data to the local physical disk. For some calculations that are easy to use TB In terms of data, it is better to transfer it in batches, and do not set the sleep state when the computer is unattended. After all, the Alibaba Cloud disk is already used as a physical disk. When the computer sleeps or shuts down, the transfer will naturally be interrupted.
