Product Description:

ExpanDrive lets you transparently access, open, edit and save files from within all your favorite programs - TextMate, Photoshop, Acorn, Terminal and even Finder. No need to load a separate client to transfer files. Access remote files over SSH/SFTP from directly within Finder - as easily as if they are on an USB drive you plugged directly into your own computer

What's new in this version:

  • Fixed major bug in SFTPv2 which caused a performance slowdown and occasional empty directory
  • Fixed major bug with S3 which caused Finder to unlink certain files immediately after copy
  • Increased certain timeouts in SFTP to deal with varying performance
  • Added experimental support to correctly distinguish/convert between UTF-8 Normal Form C [Linux style] and UTF-8 Normal Form D [Mac style] to help decode of international characters
  • Added Italian localization, updated Swedish, Brazilian Portuguese, update Vietnamese translation -- please keep sending updates in, our free license offer stands!
  • Moved default cache directory to ~/Library/Caches/ExpanDrive
  • Did away with the animated fade in/out of windows
  • License files can now be dropped onto ExpanDrive in addition to being double click
  • Added link to S3 drive panel for users to find their S3 Access Key
  • Add hidden/unsupported/undocumented option to hide the Status Bar Item via "defaults write com.expandrive.ExpanDrive2 HideStatusBarItem -bool YES"

ExpanDrive ReviewGreat app, too expensive. - Version: 2.0.4, 8/20/2009 01:32PM PST

ExpanDrive is a great application that somehow seems to be fast and stable (despite using MacFUSE). I was super excited after downloading it and trying it out, and then I saw the price tag: $39.95. Quite ridiculous for what is essentially a pretty SFTP/S3 client. Panic's Transmit, a full-fledged client, is only $29.95. But wait, there's more! Add ExpanDrive as a fan on Facebook and get a dollar off coupon. Oh great, $38.95. No thanks. Fail.

ExpanDrive ReviewGreat App, Worth Every Penny - Version: 2.0.3, 8/11/2009 10:10AM PST

I have been using ExpanDrive since it was released, and before that I used MacFuse/MacFusion, and even though ExpanDrive uses MacFuse, the developers have improved greatly on what is available through the open source MacFuse.

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!
