This feature is found in CloudMounter but sadly not yet in ExpanDrive.

Most external WebDAV connections need an extra addition to your normal path, in my case remote.php/webdav/ check your provider for information if you run into problems.Įxpandrive and Strongsync cover transport encryption (TLS), but we should also need to ensure the endpoint is encrypted and not by the endpoint itself but on the client side as well. ExpanDrive also nicely integrates with Spotlight, so search queries now show results from remote volumes alongside local drives. Such performance improvements can largely be attributed to intelligent caching, and ExpanDrive 7 addresses one longtime limitation by allowing users to change the location of such files to any volume, rather than consuming precious internal resources. No, ExpanDrive has none of these problems and provides very, very stable and fast connections. This is a major break through as most others ( CloudMounter and Mounting Duck ) experienced connection stability problems. Browsing remote connections in the Finder finally feels as accessing and working on local hard drives. The earlier version improved up to a 500 percent increase in transfer speeds due to a multi-threading StrongSync kernel engine, where this latest edition speeds things up to truly fast levels, particularly with larger files. Nice looking or not, ExpanDrive 7 is definitely faster than ever. And I admit being fond of not often found smooth aesthetically pleasing layouts. The interface providing most relevant information does lack refinement of font-type and layout, although I do understand it all comes down to personal taste. ‘Connected and connecting’ visuals are not nicely placed.

EXPANDRIVE REVIEW MANUAL
Automatic or manual “Check for Updates” button is placed in Settings.Īlthough the new UI is more visually pleasing, there’s lack of visual feedback when hovering on icons which could be improved in new versions. You can adjust the width of the Connections pane easily to support volumes with long nicknames. Just select a file and use the right mouse click toped a small menu with selectable options. There’s even shareable link support for services like Google Drive.( see image below ) The new updated user interface introduces a built-in file browser allowing users to view, download, rename, move, or delete without mounting services in the Finder.

If a user is editing an Office document, other users will only be able to open that document read-only until the editing user closes it.

EXPANDRIVE REVIEW SOFTWARE
We had always wanted to start a company whose goal was to make great software that solved difficult technical problems. We relocated to Boston to work on our first product, SFTPDrive- A fast network filesystem for Windows that could mount SFTP. Dave, Jeff and Jonathan started ExpanDrive in a Stanford University dorm in 2004 right before completing our degrees in Computer Science.
