ExpanDrive

All the negative reviews here are ears old so I thought I'd give ExpanDrive a test run Running Mac Sonoma 14.4.1 (23E224).

Regrettably I uninstalled it within 10 minutes.

It first 'mapped a drive' - if that's the correct term, and added a link to my sidebar. It asked me to click 'Enable', which I did. After that - nothing. Literally nothing. No GUI. no toolbar. Nothing in sight, or hidden, to configure the damn thing. A complete waste of time, unfortunately.

Bad software, better use other alternatives. Bought perpetual license, found bug with SFTP (streaming doesn't working at all MP3,FLAC,etc) which makes impossible to use this soft for me. They know about bug and doesn't fix it in 6 months. And this bug still in latest release.

I installed this app on my Mac in order to be able to access and change files on Amason S3.

I added our credentials, it mounted a folder but it is just empty. Via AWS web interface I see that it's defiantly not empty. The App doesn't seem to tell you if it failed to connect for any reason. You can insert whatever credentials and it provides zero feedback and still shows as it mounted a drive in Finder.

This App is ULTRA buggy, I don't know why anyone would pay for it. If you drag this app from one screen to another connected screen the whole UI goes blank. The app doesn't appear in the top bar mac navigation when opened and focused so you can't close it fully without force quiting it and all attached services to uninstall it.

This app is pure garbage.

I was looking all over for things to transfer some data from an old server to the cloud. Since microsoft azure does not support server 2008 R2 i had to find an alternative. ExpanDrive is the only alternative that i could find that would mount an alternate cloud storage provider in Windows Server 2008 R2 as a network drive. ExpanDrive worked fast and smooth to allow me to synchronize my files to the cloud storage provider. A real life saver in a touch situation.

Do not buy!

Does not work as advertised, no support and no chance of a refund.

Created an account on alternativeTo just to leave a review of this software. I purchased at full price and when I began to use found that it was not installed correctly: the options to sync to local storage was not activated in Windows Explorer. After over an hour with the very poor technical support (multiple reinstalls, changes to registry etc.) I requested a refund. It seems I was two hours over their policy of "no refunds after one month". This decision, by the way, was given to me over a month after my enquiry. May work for you but I would not trust my files to a company or developer that operates with these ethics. Look elsewhere.
