Apple presented in the last WWDC, a new iCloud function that would allow us to share folders from our iCloud account with other users, a function that has been available in all cloud storage services practically since they saw the light. It was not until a week ago that this feature became available.
Thanks to this function, it is more than likely that many users will stop using both Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive and other storage services, if the main function they used was to share folders with other users. If this is not your case, you are probably interested in learning about the EnpandDrive application.
Accessing the storage of our iCloud account is as simple as opening the Finder and clicking on the folder with the same name, a integration that we cannot find in the rest of storage services in the cloud natively (they all direct us to the top menu bar for quick access).
However, thanks to the ExpanDrive app, we can add the accounts of our storage services to the Finder, like iCloud, to be able to quickly and easily access all the content available in each service, and to be able to move files between the different services, access stored documents, copy new files, delete files ... without synchronization of the changes is immediate.
To add this function, ExpanDrive creates a virtual access to the drive, access that will be displayed on the desktop of our system. In order to enjoy the function that ExpanDrive offers us, it is necessary, yes or yes, that let's run the application every time we start our computer, in order to have access to the storage services that we use directly from the Finder.
ExpandDrive is compatible with the main storage services in the cloud, as well as FPT, SMB, WebDAV services ... and allows us to add different accounts of the same storage service. We can download a ExpanDrive free demo directly from your webpage This application is not available on the Mac App Store.
Depending on the use you can make of this application, we can consider that the price is expensive or cheap. The license for one computer is priced at $ 49,95 (if we upgrade from the previous version, the price is reduced by half). In addition, it allows us to contract all future updates of the application for $ 37,95 more.
