drivelist

List all connected drives in your computer, in all major operating systems.

Current Release License Downloads Travis CI status AppVeyor status Dependency status Gitter Chat

Notice that this module does not require admin privileges to get the drives in any supported operating system.

Supports:

  • Windows.
  • GNU/Linux distributions that include util-linux and udev.
  • Mac OS X.

When the user executes drivelist.list(), the module checks the operating system of the client and executes the corresponding drive scanning script.

Examples (the output will vary depending on your machine):

const drivelist = require('drivelist');

drivelist.list((error, drives) => {
  if (error) {
    throw error;
  }

  console.log(drives);
});
