Integration on Windows 8

If you are using Windows 8, you can connect your mail.com Cloud as a network drive and manage files directly on your computer.

  1. Set up an application-specific password and make a note of it.
  2. Move the mouse pointer to the upper right corner of the Windows home screen and click the magnifying glass icon.
  3. Enter Computer in the search field.
  4. Click My Computer.
    Windows Explorer opens.
  5. If the Map Network Drive button is not shown, click Computer next to File.
  6. Click Map Network Drive.
  7. Select a drive letter.
  8. Next to Folder:, enter this network address: https://storage-file-us.mail.com/.
  9. If you want to automatically connect to your Cloud when you log in to your computer, put a checkmark next to Reconnect at logon.
  10. Click Finish.
  11. Enter your mail.com email address and the application-specific password you created in step 1.
  12. Click OK.
    The connection to your Cloud is established.
Your Cloud is displayed in a new window.
Info:

If you retrieve your emails via POP3/IMAP, you will then need a separate application-specific password. Use this instead of your usual password in the email programme or the email app provided by the other provider.
