Driveplugger is a safe removable storage manager that empowers the user to manage their storage effectively.
DrivePlugger is a user-friendly removable storage manager that offers complete control to the user. Whether it's a USB drive, CDROM, or any other external media, DrivePlugger makes it easy to manage all such devices. One of the standout features of this software is that it enables users to assign names to their devices, which makes it easier to differentiate amongst them.
The software's tray icon offers all the essential functions like browsing, ejection, and other operations. The user can perform all these functions through the tray icon. The best part? The software offers complete security and ensures that it does not harm the user's device.
DrivePlugger functions using the Linux hotplug mechanism, allowing it to pass on information about plug/unplug events and a secure tag to the user agent. The user agent gives the user the liberty to either choose the appropriate action or ask the user what to do. When the user mounts the drive, DrivePlugger runs a suid script to add an entry to fstab and mounts the drive under ~/Devices/< devicename >.
Through the tray icon, you can quickly change user preferences and device settings, unmount media or kill processes that are locking the media. The software has an inbuilt security mechanism that's reassuring, especially for security experts. There's also a SECURITY file included in the package that details the risks associated with running DrivePlugger and what the developers have done to reduce them.
The latest release fixes an issue where multiple group numbers were shown in fstab and corrects uid/gid entries for unsupported filesystems. Overall, DrivePlugger is an excellent software that has made life easier for many users to manage their external media.
