Really great tool. Works as advertised.

Unfortunatelly i didn`t realize that in the latest "transmit" -app version from panic the feature to mount (s)ftp/.. as disks in the finder is already built in, which i own too.

ExpanDrive works just great - i'm working with Lightroom and normaly you are not allowed to open catalogues on a network drive. With ExpanDrive an can now open catalogues that are saved on my NAS.

indispensable app when you need to rely on sshfs connections.
I love it.

n my case it works fine under 10.7.1 Lion, while OSX Fuse 2.3.2 + MacFusion 2.0.4 fails to read/write files via sshfs. The latter could mount the volume, but many operations did not work. I will buy Expandrive if OSX Fuse / MacFusion do not fix the issues in 30 days.

I have 2.1.2 version paid with Snow Leopard 10.6.5. I can connect quickly with my ftp drives at home (via wan), but I receive "data connection failed" when I try to connect from my office. ¿Is there any parameter or configuration to be done?

I'm glad it works for you, but I should have put my money elsewhere. V1.3 was good, but it's more than two years that OS X is 64-bit, and I still get this error message:

"Unfortunately a kernel extension that ExpanDrive depends on, MacFUSE, has not yet been built for Snow Leopard in 64-bit kernel mode. ExpanDrive continues to work in 32-bit kernel mode. We're working on fixing MacFUSE for 64-bit kernel mode, but we do not yet have a timeline on when this will be done. Feel free to email support@expandrive.com if you have any questions"

On the other hand, there is Mac FUSE 2.1.7 that works flawlessly with MacFusion in 64-bit, and it's FREE!

Unfortunately it's Finder, not ExpanDrive that is the one that keeps asking you if you want to replace the file. We have no control over that. Regarding the speed, that shouldn't' be the case - please send an email to support@expandrive.com and we'll help out.

I've tried this for a while. The idea is good, but there are a few issues that stop me from using the software.

- Every time you want to replace a file with another one you get a dialogue saying "do you really want to do this". Usually this can be disabled in other ftp-clients. It's really annoying if you transfer a lot of files.

But the worst part is that it is unbelievably slow. All other ftp-clients I use are 10 -50 times faster. Expandrive makes a 15Mbit line feel like a 28.8 k modem.

Currently works with 10.6.4 and my Linux SSH file server. Latest Beta's of MacFuse and Macfusion do not. Worth the $30, just because they seem to keep up with Apples updates. Macfusion might work within a month, or a day, or it might never work with 10.6.4., you just never know.

Great utility. The developers were quick to fix the PPC incompatibility, recently introduced in version 2.1.0.

Great way to turn FTP into a more user-friendly, casual file storage.

It seems that all drives created by ExpanDrive are not showing up into ForkLift.

http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/24467/forklift

Please let me know if it works for you or not. I am not sure on which side it has to be fixed (ForkLift or ExpanDrive), so I am posting this issue also there.

Thanks.
