# List the drives in the system

List the drives in the system by using the [GetLogicalDriveStrings method](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/November2024/Subsystems/EngineJSONAPI/Content/service-global-getlogicaldrivestrings.htm).

## Example

[](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/Subsystems/EngineAPI/Content/Sense_EngineAPI/GettingSystemInformation/list-drives-in-system.htm)

#### The goal is to list the drives in the system.

The handle of the request is -1 because the [GetLogicalDriveStrings method](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/November2024/Subsystems/EngineJSONAPI/Content/service-global-getlogicaldrivestrings.htm) applies at global level.

The client sends:

```
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 0,
  "method": "GetLogicalDriveStrings",
  "handle": -1,
  "params": []
}
```

The engine returns:

```
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 0,
  "result": {
    "qDrives": [
      {
        "qDrive": "C:\\",
        "qType": "fixed",
        "qName": "Windows"
      },
      {
        "qDrive": "D:\\",
        "qType": "fixed",
        "qName": "System"
      },
      {
        "qDrive": "E:\\",
        "qType": "fixed",
        "qName": "New Volume"
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

The list of drives is returned.
