ExpanDrive enhances every single application on your computer by transparently connecting it to remote data. Open, edit, and save files to remote computers from within your favorite programs-even when they are on a server half a world away. There's a free trial available.SFTP/FTP/S3 in any application ExpanDrive acts just like a USB drive plugged into your computer. ExpanDrive 2.0 is a $39.95 purchase (well worth it if you deal with remote UNIX systems or S3), and a $19.95 upgrade for existing users. I can attest to the fact that it's faster, and that the S3 support is working (wonderfully, without JungleDisk). I personally found that I was willing to give up JungleDisk entirely at this point, preferring this direct-mount with all of the perks, including a contextual menu in Finder for quickly setting public read/write permissions. JungleDisk users should note that there are some issues, but they seem to clear up if you create vanilla buckets in your account and use those with ExpanDrive. In my testing, I found that a previously-existing S3 option, JungleDisk, can cause conflicts with ExpanDrive's S3 support. One of the developers, Jeff Mancuso, mentioned to me back at the last WWDC that the S3 support was in the works it's great to see it come to fruition. With a completely rewritten (again) SFTP layer, the existing FTP support and new Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Solution) support, it's even more useful than the last time we mentioned it.
We've mentioned it before, but to recap: ExpanDrive allows you to mount remote servers as drives directly accessible in Finder.
I had to do some extensive testing before I got too excited, but after a conversation with the developers I'm pleased to announce that ExpanDrive 2.0 is out.
