There is a way to map Drivehq (or any FTP server) to a drive letter. I've been doing this since I started using Drivehq. You need to download a program called Webdrive that will map any FTP server to a drive letter. When mapped, it will be indistinguishable from any other drive on your computer. It's true that if the connection fails, it will hang Windows Explorer which is kind of nasty, but if you have a reliable internet connection, and if the FTP server is reliable (as Drivehq's has proven to be) this will rarely if ever happen. Download and upload speeds have been satisfactory.

I didn't realize that DriveHQ FileManager mapped a folder in Explorer. I don't like to experimentally install programs (especially ones that interact with Explorer), so could you tell me the difference between the appearance and functionality of a DHQ Filemanager mapped drive and a true Windows mapped drive? Thanks.
