Hi parvezalam,

I understand what you are asking for, but there is no other way, as far as I know.

Also is there anyway to check if the folder is already mounted.

If you take a look on documentation:

Unmounted shared folders can be identified by the absence of SharedFolderMetadata.path_lower.

I.e. a folder has been mounted when there is local path (local to the context account) within the metadata. 😉

Hope this helps.

Yes for checking the mounted or not I have checked PathLower Properties.

    That's correct, you'll need to check the list and filter based on the desired name. Shared folder names are not unique identifiers, so it's possible for there to be more than one for any particular name. That being the case, it's not possible to look up a specific single shared folder just based on a name.

     

    And yes, you should check for the path to see if it's mounted.
