Drive mappings won't expand

Has anyone come across a problem with DW 8 where it doesn't display all the letters for your network drive mappings? Also you cannot expand any of the drive tree's.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

if you just rebooted or logged on, then maybe windows just hasn't reconnected the drives. Try browsing to the drive through Windows first, then through DW.

Does this solve the issue?

Thanks for the quick reply! Unfortunately it does not make any difference. The wierd thing is the + on the side of the drive letter shows up on some network drives but not all. No network drives will expand by clicking, double clicking, or anything else. Frustrating.

Just to expand on this a bit, the problem is with the explorer type tree display you get under files when you first open the app. If you create a site folder and subfolders, they show up fine and you can navigate them with no problems. Prior to creating a site folder the view for files is basically the same as the drive tree view would be from windows explorer, only problem is you cannot navigate ANY drive be it the C drive or any network drives that you map.

Hopefully that helps explain things a bit better and someone will now recognize this.

Thanks a bunch!
