How to mount Boxcryptor drive under Windows Subsystem for Linux (Bash on Windows)?

w1ld

Thanks for the tool to encrypt data.

How to mount it there? No drive present under /mnt when I run 'bash'. I've tried to "Mount as fixed drive", "Mount for all users", "Mount in Windows Mount Manager" with no luck.

How to make symbol link from Boxcryptor drive to a directory on c:/? That should solve the problem but when I do it it says that access denied.

PS. It seems that DrvFs, some driver from MS for Ubuntu, I guess, as per this post (https://superuser.com/questions/1114341/windows-10-ubuntu-bash-shell-how-do-i-mount-other-windows-drives) should help. But I didn't try it yet.

w1ld

Doesn't seem to work with symlink:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>mklink /D c:\x x:\
symbolic link created for c:\x <<===>> x:\

Then in WSL:

wild@art-pc:~$ ls /mnt/c/x/ -a
. ..

It should list one item

Did anyone figure out how this works? Indeed it doesn't work with a symbolic link.
