Start Icedrive on logon to Linux tip

The windows client has a ‘Start with windows’ option in the settings that starts Icedrive minimized and with the virtual drive mounted, but there is no equivalent option on the Linux version.

After a little trial and error, I found that starting the Linux appimage with the ‘-startup’ option provides the same functionality so it can be autostarted on logon in the background. (at least on manjaro it does, maybe the same on mac).

That didn’t work for me on Linux Mint 22, but going through the settings menu does.

System Settings → Startup Applications → + sign → Custom Command
Name it IceDrive and for command just put:
/home/ko4fzg/Downloads/IceDriveMounted-v3.whateveryourversionis or wherever your IceDrive is located

I’m sure there is a better way

I didn’t say how to add it to your app startups as that differs depending on your DE/WM.

Command to add to your startup is:

/{pathto}/IcedriveMounted-v3.{version}.AppImage -startup

Whoopsies, I totally misread

Any idea on how to auto-mount the drive with the application startup?
