Feature description
The ownCloud folder should be able to be mapped as a drive letter, like Google Drive does.
Proposed solution
Add a setting that allows you to map ownCloud as a drive instead of only as a folder:
See the attached screenshot of Google Drive as an example.
Alternative solutions you considered
Considered using subst o: c:\path\to\owncloud in Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run but that doesn't allow for a custom icon and name like Google Drive does.

The issue proposes a Windows-specific setting that maps the ownCloud folder to a drive letter, with a custom name and icon like Google Drive. Start by reviewing the desktop client’s Windows integration and configuration areas; done means users can configure the mapping and see the requested drive presentation.
