ExpanDrive 6 Settingsįrom the taskbar icon, you have similar functionality to ExpanDrive 5, with the ability to control your connections and monitor what they are doing, including the new background sync function. It occasionally happens with other cloud drives but far less often. I have noticed throughout my testing though that the Dropbox connection does seem to drop out and need reconnecting frequently. Having only installed it with Dropbox and adding other clouds later, I’m not sure if this is a Dropbox specific issue or an ExpanDrive one. I did note though as I had connected Dropbox during setup that it seemed to have forgotten my connection and I had to reconnect it after installation. Any clouds you have connected during setup should now appear as external drives on your Mac, and you can access them just like you would a USB drive. During the installation, you can connect your first storage location if you wish, and once it’s installed, the usual ExpanDrive taskbar icon becomes available. It’s to the point and doesn’t mess around. Like it’s predecessor, ExpanDrive 6 has a straightforward installer. So after using it for 7 days, I’ve covered off all the things I did in my previous tests of ExpanDrive 5 and Odrive that I would do on a regular basis. Native file access just like an externally attached drive.įrom the list above, HP Helion has been dropped, understandably since it’s no longer being offered by HP, and four new platforms have been added: OneDrive for Business, Backblaze B2, Google Team Drive and SMB/CIFS.Background file transfers for small files and real-time transfers for large files.Connect to multiple storage platforms at once, including most common platforms, with a single application.Additional discounts for multiple licenses and for educational or non-profit users are also still available.

So has this been solved?Īt the time of writing, ExpanDrive continues to offer a free 7-day trial. My main complaints with ExpanDrive 5 on a Mac were it’s inability to handle large files and large multi-file transfers, and the fact that it froze all the time.

EXPANDRIVE VS STRONGSYNC UPDATE
Even now, months on from its release, the changes are not entirely clear so most of the information in this article will be based on the newsletter they sent out announcing the version 6 update as per the two lists below (also published on their blog here). There is very little information about the v6 release on their website or Twitter. Let me know in the comments at the end of this post! Meanwhile, here is what I’ve found. The question is, does real-life usage actually match the claims? I’d love to hear your experiences. It also adds two new cloud platforms, BackBlaze B2 and Google Team Drive as well as a new user interface. It comes with claims of being 500% faster and the addition of offline-sync mode. So as a traveller looking to keep my local storage at a minimum while having everything backed up and readily available in the cloud, I’m excited to see what version 6 brings to the table. Now, ExpanDrive 6 is here, released almost 6 months ago (July 5, 2017) it’s had some time to release minor updates and bug fixes. As you may have read in my previous blog post on ExpanDrive 5, it had some great features, but some significant caveats.
