Originated in
Troi File Plug-in 2.0
Compatibility
FileMaker Pro 18 to FileMaker Pro 22 (2025)
Considerations
On macOS it is possible to have multiple disks with the same name. In this case you will see the same disk name multiple times in the list.
NOTE To find the startup disk you can use the TrFile_FindFolder function.
v17.0 added the switch -ExtendedDiskInfo, on Windows. The result in XML will list all volumes (with GUIDs, drive letters, 32-bit Volume Serial Number and NTFS Serial Numbers, if available).
Example
Set Field [ result ; TrFile_ListDisks ( "" ) ]On macOS this will return a list of names of all the disks that are currently mounted, for example:
KES¶
SPOCK¶
Photos untill 2024¶
Music Archive Disk 5
On Windows the drive letters of the available disks are returned, for example:
