The good starting point would be the main Solid Tutorial : https://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Solid/Device_Discovery Solid does not provide straight `folder => StorageVolume` yet, but I think Solid could have such a utility feature added. Something like `Solid::Device::findByPath()`, it would need to canonically and recursively resolves the path parent to pay attention to symlinks. This would also help D26407 <https://phabricator.kde.org/D26407> KMountPoint::findByPath has it although it is not perfect. Compared to solid it does not refresh automatically and can't send signals and does not know about encryption. > Could someone help me with that? Sure. I have been dreaming about such feature for a while.
