    Hello.


    Some users on my company use Dropbox in a portable USB drive, BitLocker encrypted.

    They have to unlock the driver then open dropbox (which they usually forget to).

    So I made a script to unlock it and then open dropbox 

    If (!(Test-Path F:))
{
ECHO "Desbloqueando o Volume F:"
manage-bde -unlock F: -pw
ECHO "Abrindo o Dropbox"
& 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Dropbox\Client\Dropbox.exe'
}

Write-Host "Press any key to continue ..."

$x = $host.UI.RawUI.ReadKey("NoEcho,IncludeKeyDown")

    I would like to insert this script in the startup, using a While and Start-Sleep to check if the driver is present before trying to unlock. Test-Path doesn't seem to work in this scenario since this function gives the same result if the driver is not present or is present but locked.

    Is there a way to do this using powershell?

    Thanks.

    It's not elegant, but I got it Working

    Do {
$connectedriverSerial = (Get-WmiObject -class Win32_DiskDrive -Filter "SerialNumber = 'XXXX000'" | select-object -expand SerialNumber)
Start-Sleep -s 2
}
Until ($connectedriverSerial -eq 'XXXX000')



If ($connectedriverSerial -eq 'XXXX000' -and !(Test-Path F:\Dropbox\)) {

    Use "Get-PsDrive F"

    Sorry, I may be missing something, but it only works after the device is unlocked.

    When I use Get-PSDrive, it doesn't show the locked drive in the list.

    I have to unlock it, close and reopen the Powershell  window,  then it appears.
