Rails lives on the server side. You're asking about client-side stuff, which is independent of Rails. Anyway, getting a list of local deives would be a security violation. What are you ultimately trying to accomplish? Perhaps there's another way to do it...

If anyone know this pls send me the code.

We're not here to do your job for you.

I'm trying to help, but you're kind of asking the impossible here. If you can answer my original question, I may be able to suggest something.

This is really turning out to be a great thread.

Might want to try:

  ...   mapped_drives = `net use`.chomp.split   ...

or whatever the ms-windows shell command is that displays what drives have been mapped on the machine (note that I haven't used ms-windows in over a decade or so, nor have access to test, ...).
