ExpanDrive CommentaryGreat application gets even better with new version. - Version: 2.0.1, 5/5/2009 05:01AM PST

I have been using ExpanDrive mostly to access a remote server and absolutely love it. With the new version 2 you now have access to Amazon S3 accounts. I now use it to access my S3 account and absolutely love the convenience. I rarely have to open an FTP application anymore. Once you log into a remote server via ExpanDrive you have full access to that server just as it where an external HD attatched to your computer. You can just drag & drop files from the Finder to the server sitting on your desktop and in Finder window sidebar. Also, all the servers you are connected to show up in the standard Mac Open/Save dialog windows from within any application.

ExpanDrive 2 is a great application that just got a whole lot better. I love it!

ExpanDrive ReviewGreat Utility - Version: 2.0, 4/22/2009 03:43PM PST

I have been using Expandrive for almost a year and rely on it daily. I log into my ftp accounts without having to open a specific application like, Transmit, Flow or Forklift. ExpanDrive 2.0 brings with it Amazon S3 support, thrilling.

ExpanDrive is so simple to use. Each account appears to be just another hard drive on your desktop, you drag & drop files just like you do when moving files via the finder. I uploaded a 3MB file in less than 30 seconds with my 30 Mbps Comcast connection. I did notice that with the larger files ExpanDrive hogs all the power from the cpu and you can't work with the Finder until the upload/download is complete. So, unfortunately with large files over 100MB I recommend using Transmit or another FTP application.

I would give a 5 Star review if the Finder problem was resolved.
