BED42  Absolutely exactly what I was looking for, quick connection UI and seemlessly integrated into Finder (or as I use, Path Finder). Version 2.04 is working fantastically for me with Snow Leopard - exactly what it claims to be.

HINES2KJ  Too slow to do anything.

However, for it to be fast and to have that "on the fly" feeling, have a FiOs connection going.

MACLOVER1.1  How different is this from Macfusion since both are based on Google Macfuse ?

APPLEHC  Trust me on this one: I had so many problems using the (registered) version 1 of Expandrive that I deleted it. Now they want me to pay for bug-fixing the first version? Well, I still tried the v 2 - guess what? Lots of problems. Some big bugs were removed with v 2.02. But honestly: For serious users this is a no-go!

RAMINF  I have gone through four different FTP clients (not counting the ones built into DreamWeaver and Espresso). But for copying files quickly to my server, I always go back to using ExpanDrive. Having the server be an extension of the filesystem makes it so you don't have to think about all the extra steps needed to move files back and forth. Being able to directly edit my server config files in TextEdit or add a line to a remote CSS file using CSSEdit is beyond awesome.

Haven't had any problems across any of the different hosting sites I use. Heartily recommended.

FITZAGE  Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic.

Having the ability to access my servers directly from the Finder has saved me a lot of time. I combined this with Changes.app (for synching changed files) and TextMate and kicked Coda and Espresso to the curb.

The only problems I've had so far with version 2 were the fault of the server not properly supporting the FTP spec for a client of mine who uses shitty web hosting.

BANCHALI  I've used ExpanDrive since it came out, and it's the most useful paid utility I have. I manage files on several different computers and some supercomputers, and being able to mount everything as a drive is incredibly useful. I keep my iTunes library outside my laptop, but I can easily mount it with ExpanDrive and play my music anywhere with just a decent connection, which is wicked cool.

MacFusion is okay, but as I use this on a laptop and move between networks a few times a day, MacFusion did not gracefully handle loss of connections while ExpanDrive has no problem. Over MacFusion, ExpanDrive also has a super slick interface and very nice AppleScript support which I use for making simple one line location commands for mounting a set of drives at a time.

If you frequently work with remote files, I have seen nothing better - it even has better reliability and behavior (if not throughput) of NFS on local connections.

A mac without Quicksilver, TextMate, and ExpanDrive is not really a mac, as far as I'm concerned.
