Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Hope all is well! We're looking to add support for kDrive in Files (https://files.community) and we wanted to check with you on the best way to do this.

Describe the solution you'd like to implement Ideally, we would verify the installation of kDrive, and upon confirmation, retrieve its path to display in the cloud drives segment of our sidebar

Hello, Thanks for integrating kDrive into your product!

"we would verify the installation of kDrive" => You can use the following PowerShell command.

PS C:\Users\Chris> get-package -Name kDrive

Name                           Version          Source                           ProviderName
----                           -------          ------                           ------------
kDrive                         3.6.0                                             Programs

"retrieve its path to display in the cloud drives segment of our sidebar" => Are you talking about the path of the app or the synchronized folders? The exe path is: C:\Program Files (x86)\kDrive\kDrive.exe

You can find the synchronized folders by browsing Windows Registry keys in "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID" and filter on "kDrive". The folder path is the value of the key "targetFolderPath" in "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID\\Instance\InitPropertyBag"

Thank you! We're looking for the path of the synchronized folders.
