Description

Hi,

I'd like to request a feature. Currently, if I have some external drives plugged in to my windows machine, I find myself not able to tell which drive is what when I am using fman. I don't even know which drive symbol is currently enabled. This is partially windows' fault, because the path name does not include the drive's name, but only a capital letter. To use anything other than the default C drive, I have to memorize which letter corresponds to which physical drive.

In file explorer, when you navigate to "This PC", you see the drives with extra information: the name, the capacity, etc. I want to suggest that fman should provide a similar view.

Thanks!

No files or tests are named in the issue. Start by locating fman's Windows drive-listing entry point and examine how drive letters are currently shown; done means a view comparable to Windows "This PC" that identifies each drive with its name and capacity.
