Implement the ability to assign an MTP Drive letter?

TC11 is offering much better access to devices via MTP - the icing on the cake would be the ability to natively or via a plugin allow a drive letter to such connections. There are two third party solutions that I know of,
MTPdrive which works well but is ridiculously expensive and
mtpmount (on GitHub) which offers a clunky command line partial solution. It would be much better if that was built into TC...

If you have an Android device, you can use my Wifi/WLAN plugin to share some folders and access them via a drive letter. Just enter the displayed URL instead of an UNC path.

I have tried WiFi solutions before, but find them much slower than a regular USB connection.
The improvement you have made for TC11 is excellent - would it be very difficult to ice the cake with drive letter support?

Unfortunately writing a device driver which provides a drive via drive letter is extremely complex. It also requires a special certificate which is much more expensive than the one I use now. There is a good reason why MPTdrive is so expensive.
