A drive letter mapping solution for PTP
devices in Microsoft Windows.

Easy Mapping.

The PTPdrive allows digital cameras operating in PTP mode to be mapped to a local drive letter in the Microsoft Windows. Without the PTPdrive, only Mass Storage (MSC) mode cameras can have assigned a drive letter. While some digital cameras can be configured to work in either mode, some models, especially newer ones, only support the PTP/MTP mode.

Make sure to also check out MTPdrive, it may fit your needs better (e.g. it can download movies from Apple devices, write to Android devices, etc).

Customizable filesystem.

The PTPdrive offers drive letter mapping so any application can access the pictures in the PTP camera.
