2 My Cloud Homes WD Discovery swaping drive letters

I have two My Cloud Homes. One on my local network at home (Dive Z:) and another at my other home (Drive Y:). WD Discovery maps the drives OK, but it swaps the drive letters every time I restart my computer which really messes up my system. If I restart the compute again, it gets the drive letter back as they should be and off I go. How can I make the drive letters stay put, and remain static? Perhaps there is a way to assign one drive as a primary drive at both locations?

Hello KenG,

The computer assigns the Drive letter as per the availability of the drive during scanning. It will assign the drive letter every time you restart the computer.

Hello,
Apparently so, but I bet someone knows how to map the drives to specific drive letters so it does not change at random.
