About
Working with remote data is becoming more and more common in our lives. Home local network, Dropbox. All these things have long become familiar to many. Software developers are happy to offer us a variety of programs that should help bring all these media and cloud services to a common form.
This program allows you to mount remote storage devices (FTP, WebDAV, Dropbox, Google Drive, Amazon S3, etc.) as a regular drive that will appear in Finder along with other drives.
The benefit of this is obvious - any program can directly work with remote storage files in the same way as if they were located directly on your hard drive or USB flash drive. That is, each program gets cloud storage at its disposal. For example, you can upload pictures to your blog, bypassing some kind of Transmit, and use Hazel and other useful utilities on them.
Owners of small SSD drives will love the ability to work with Dropbox directly, without duplicating all the information on the hard drive. ExpanDrive will also be useful if you want to have access to multiple Dropbox accounts.
In version 4, synchronization occurs in the background, just like Dropbox. This means that you can continue to work on the file even while ExpanDrive is syncing the files with the server. Quite high speed, even on public WiFi and via VPN there are practically no delays.
ExpanDrive supports:
SFTP/FTP/FTPS
Amazon S3
Dropbox
WebDAV
Rackspace Cloud Files
Openstack Swift
Dreamhost DreamObjects
Google Drive
OneDrive
Box.com
Copy.com
