QStorageInfo to detect USB drives

[kovand11]

Is there a way, to detect attached USB drives and get the path to them?
It would be nice, if i could do it in a cross platform way.

Hi,

Do you mean detecting new plugged devices or analyzing what is currently available ?

[kovand11]

I tought about detecting the existing ones, but to get notifications about plug/remove would be also helpful.

For these kind of notifications there's KDE's Solid library that IIRC is a Tier1 library which means it only depends on Qt.

Is there any description, how to use it with Qt Creator and VS2013?

[SGaist]

You can use it like any other library, first compile it and then update you project like the usual
