ExpanDrive 2 finally unifies our Mac and Windows products into one, in no small part through the magic of python. We can finally develop simultaneously on both platforms, with ease.

If you’ve already purchased a ExpanDrive 2 license for your Mac – that license is good for this Windows client. As of V2, our licenses are cross-platform. An upgrade license is $19.95 until the end of this week, and $24.95 thereafter.

A couple screenshots of the new UI in action.

Please send any feedback to support@expandrive.com and we’ll help out as fast as we can.

Today we’re releasing a new beta that fixes all known outstanding issues:

• Some text editors were warning that the file had been changed, when it had not. This is fixed.
• Symbolic links to folders are now accessible, even above the mounted path
• Windows XP support was flakey in a couple situations, this has been resolved.

Download ExpanDrive v2.0.3

This release no longer supports OS 10.4 [Tiger] or users running on the PowerPC architecture. With 10.7 [Lion] around the corner and the last PowerPC mac shipping more than 5 years ago, we need to focus on the future and start to take advantage of features only available in newer versions of OS X.

ExpanDrive for Mac 2.2.2 – Released Apri 14th, 2011

• NEWMajor speed increase due to enhanced caching of metadata
• NEWFull 64-bit support. ExpanDrive.app is now a full 64 bit application.
• NEWPreliminary support for OS 10.7 Lion
• NEWNo longer depends on MacFUSE
• NEWIn-app purchasing
• CHANGEDNo longer supports 10.4 [Tiger] or PPC machines

And a note for our ExpanDrive for Windows users. Development on ExpanDrive 2 for Windows continues to progress rapidly and it is being tested and developed side by side with our Mac client. Thanks for your patience!

Section 2.18:

Apps that install kexts will be rejected

We hope this means “Apps that install kernel extensions globally into /System will be rejected” (which we currently do) and not “Apps that load non-Apple kernel extensions will be rejected” If this is an issue about packaging, then namespacing a kernel extension to an app and keeping it inside the bundle is a reasonable request and and something we’ll likely do anyways. It would be a real disappointment if Apple starts to lock down the Mac as it continues to progress towards iOS/OS X unity. Perhaps this is much ado about nothing and it’ll merely require us not to install anything globally, but it’s hard to imagine that will be the case.

• NEWStrongspace licensing works for SFTP drives connected directly to Strongspace
• FIXED Certain FTP servers would not connect with the message ‘Data connection failed’”.
