How to Mount Cloud Drives with Alist for Beginners? A Comprehensive Guide!

Are you looking to mount cloud storage services like Quark Drive and 115 but unsure how to set up AList? Look no further than the software 'AListServer'.

AListServer is a launcher based on AList, a paid software available for download on the App Store. It supports a variety of storage services such as Alibaba Cloud, OneDrive, Tianyi Cloud Disk, 115 Cloud Disk, Quark Cloud Disk, PikPak, Xunlei Cloud Disk, China Mobile Cloud Disk, China Unicom Cloud Disk, Sichuan Telecom Magic Disk, 123 Cloud Disk, Tencent Weiyun, Lanzou Cloud, Little Airplane Cloud Disk, Baidu Cloud Disk, Google Cloud Disk, Cookie Cloud, and UC, among others.

How to Use AListServer Software?

After downloading from the App Store, go to the home page and select the service status. Provide the login credentials for Alist in the account information section.

Click on 'Manage' and then 'Add'. The specific operations will vary depending on the cloud drive you want to mount. For detailed instructions, refer to this link: VidHub User Guide.

Example: How to Mount 115 Cloud Disk? Let's Go Step by Step!

Step 1: Open the Alist home page and check the service status.

Step 2: Add management by logging into Alist. The default username and password are usually 'admin'.

Step 3: Click 'Add', select '115 Cloud Disk' as the drive, mount path: /115, sequence number: 0, leave remarks blank, cache expiration time: 30, do not check 'Web Proxy', set 'WebDAV Strategy' to 'Local Proxy', leave 'Download Proxy URL' blank, do not select 'Extract Folder', for 'Cookie': Open the web version of 115 Cloud Disk, press FN+F12, refresh the page, find the file starting with ?cid= on the left, click into it, find the 'cookie', copy this code, and paste it into the 'cookie' field in Alist. Leave 'QR Code Token', 'Qrcode Source', and 'Root Folder ID' blank. Set 'Page Size' to 56 and 'Rate Limit' to 2. For 'Root Folder ID', open the official 115 Cloud Disk website, enter the folder you want to set up, and click on the number following cid= in the URL. For example, in the URL https://115.com/?cid=249163533602609229&offset=0&tab=&mode=wangpan, the 'Root Folder ID' is 249163533602609229. Then click 'Save'.

Step 4: After successfully mounting the cloud disk with Alist, open VidHub, select 'Add File Source', and choose 'WebDAV'. The server address should be the one found in the WebDAV information at the bottom of the AListServer home page. If it's a local network, use an address starting with 192. Enter the port number: 5244, and the username and password from the account information, which are the Alist login credentials, usually 'admin'. For the path, enter /dav. Click 'Add' and select the files you want to mount, then click 'Complete'.

Common Questions About AListServer Software

  1. What is 'Auto Run'? It helps to automatically start the service when the app is reopened after being killed. Note that services will not automatically start when switching from the background to the foreground.
  2. Why can't I use it when switched to the background? Go to App-Settings-Background Running and turn on the switch.
  3. Why does the service become unavailable or close automatically even with background running enabled? This could be due to failure in keeping the service alive. In extreme cases, the system may still kill the service process. Simply re-enter the app and restart the service.
  4. Why does iOS consume more power? Power consumption varies depending on the device and usage scenario. It is recommended to manually close the service when not in use.
  5. Why doesn't AList update when files are added or deleted from the cloud disk? AList has caching. Refresh the page by clicking the refresh button in the bottom right corner of the browsing page (after accessing the management page from tvOS).
  6. Why can't some videos be played on the built-in browser page? The built-in player is weak. It is recommended to use third-party players.
  7. Why can't I access it from the tvOS after running for a while and switching to the background? This could be due to system background scheduling policies that restrict or kill the service. Usually, enabling minimalist mode and restarting after a power outage can restore access. If a power outage restart does not solve the issue, it may be necessary to abandon using the tvOS version and switch to the iOS version, which is more stable in the background.
