USB Drive are forcefully disconnected

Submitted by pbaj on #1

Whenever I try to connect to a USB external drive on a network PC it is always forcefully disconnects the drive on the original PC instead of safely doing it. This can cause drive failure.
Can you fix this issue ?

VirtualHere will redirect it as safely as possible. Vh will ask windows to disconnect it first which is why it might take a few seconds to redirect initially.  There should be no problem with disconnecting the drive via virtualhere. https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/8/18300734/microsoft-safely-remove-ejec…

Obviously if you are writing something to it when you redirect it it will probably corrupt it (Just like if you pulled it out halfway through writing a big file) but just dont do it simultaneously and you should be fine.
