If you mean using Get-PSDrive, just pipe to Where-Object and specify the filter criteria. Or, use the -Provider switch of Get-PSDrive.

I got the collection from get-psdrive and since provider is sort of .net property of type System.Management.Automation.ProviderInfo Provider {get;}

I had to compare with the collection object’s property like

$b[1].Provider.Name which was actually a filesystem type.

Output from my pc

Name Used (GB) Free (GB) Provider Root CurrentLocation

* * *

Alias Alias  
C 168.96 492.78 FileSystem C:\ Users\Abhishe
