Gio.VolumeMonitor
Description: Reference for Gio.VolumeMonitor

### Class

# GioVolumeMonitor

#### Description [src]

    class Gio.VolumeMonitor : GObject.Object
    {
      /* No available fields */
    }

`GVolumeMonitor` is for listing the user interesting devices and volumes on the computer. In other words, what a file selector or file manager would show in a sidebar.

`GVolumeMonitor` is not thread-default-context aware (see `g_main_context_push_thread_default()`), and so should not be used other than from the main thread, with no thread-default-context active.

In order to receive updates about volumes and mounts monitored through GVFS, a main loop must be running.

#### Hierarchy

#### Ancestors

- GObject

#### Descendants

- GNativeVolumeMonitor

#### Functions

###### g_volume_monitor_adopt_orphan_mount

This function should be called by any `GVolumeMonitor` implementation when a new `GMount` object is created that is not associated with a `GVolume` object. It must be called just before emitting the `mount_added` signal.

deprecated: 2.20

###### g_volume_monitor_get

Gets the volume monitor used by gio.

#### Instance methods

###### g_volume_monitor_get_connected_drives

Gets a list of drives connected to the system.

###### g_volume_monitor_get_mount_for_uuid

Finds a `GMount` object by its UUID (see g_mount_get_uuid()).

###### g_volume_monitor_get_mounts

Gets a list of the mounts on the system.

###### g_volume_monitor_get_volume_for_uuid

Finds a `GVolume` object by its UUID (see g_volume_get_uuid()).

###### g_volume_monitor_get_volumes

Gets a list of the volumes on the system.
