ExpanDrive - Access Remote Files on the Mac

ExpanDriveHave you ever wanted to view or edit a file that wasn't sitting on your own hard drive? Sure you have.

It's either on your work machine, or on your mom's machine, or it's on your brother's Alienware gaming machine in the basement and you just don't want to get up to deal with it. You wish you had a network drive for all of these machines.

That's where ExpanDrive comes in (Mac only).

The great thing about external drives on the mac is that they show up on your desktop immediately. Like this little USB thumbdrives. We love how they JUST WORK.

Basically, ExpanDrive is a souped up SFTP client. You don't have to set up any configurations, you can log in to any machine with its current credentials to access files and edit them seamlessly.

Just like they were on your own drive.

If you get disconnected, no problem...you'll automatically reconnect when you're able to.

This basically lets you use any computer that you have access to as an external drive for storage. As long as that computer has an internet connection and is turned on...you're set!

Currently, the cost is $29, and that's an introductory price, so it could go up in the future.
