How to Read Manga from Aliyun Drive? iPad/iPhone Direct Reading Tutorial Without Downloading

On iOS, using a manga reader that supports Aliyun Drive mounting (like Manga Capsule), after scanning QR code authorization, the cloud drive directory directly maps to your bookshelf, and ZIP/EPUB/CBZ/PDF files open instantly for reading with streaming loading that doesn't take up local storage.

Because Aliyun Drive has no speed limits, it's become the primary storage for many people to keep their manga over the past two years. However, its official app has zero support for manga scenarios: compressed packages can only be downloaded, images have no continuous page-turning mode, and there's no mention of right-to-left reading direction for Japanese manga.

Operation Steps

1. Download Manga Capsule from the App Store
2. On the bookshelf page sidebar, add network bookshelf → Aliyun Drive → log in with Aliyun Drive phone number & verification code
3. After authorization, browse the cloud drive directory, manga files automatically generate covers, tap to read directly

The first time you open it, it will buffer for a few seconds (streaming loads content near the current page), after which page turning is basically seamless. Reading progress and recent reads are all recorded, so you can continue from your iPhone next time.

Some Details Specific to Aliyun Drive

• No worries about many files in a folder: A library with thousands of files in one folder can load completely (we specifically optimized this in version 1.41)
• Both backup drive and resource drive supported: Files from both spaces can be browsed
• Full format support: ZIP, CBZ, CBR, RAR, 7Z, PDF, EPUB, MOBI direct reading, no decompression or format conversion needed
• Want offline: Long-press the book to cache locally, can read on airplanes

Comparison with Baidu Netdisk Solution

My own usage: frequently read library on Aliyun Drive (loads fast), collection archives on NAS and Baidu Netdisk. Anyway, you can mount multiple sources in the reader at the same time, with unified bookshelf management.
