Questions tagged [new-psdrive]

A PowerShell cmdlet for defining custom drives, which typically map to filesystem locations.

From the docs:

The New-PSDrive cmdlet creates temporary and persistent drives that are mapped to or associated with a location in a data store, such as a network drive, a directory on the local computer, or a registry key, and persistent Windows mapped network drives that are associated with a file system location on a remote computer.

Only persistent drive definitions (-Persist), which are only supported on Windows, are visible to programs outside of PowerShell.
