Tips and Tricks
Because ExpanDrive adds functionality to OS X and OS X applications at a very basic level, it has massive potential to improve your user experience. This section of the support documentation to list our favorite ExpanDrive uses.
Music
Got 40GB of music but only a 30GB iPod? Copy your music library to any computer connected to the Internet, then use ExpanDrive to mount that computer's hard drive as a local disk. You'll be able to access your full music collection from anywhere in the world.
Web Editing
Updating webpages is a snap with ExpanDrive. Simply open your HTML files in their online directory, edit, and save them in real time, just like you would with any other document. No need to worry whether your locally files are up to date with your online pages.
Storage
External hard drives allow you to expand your storage capacity, but you can still only access them from one location. ExpanDrive allows you to securely access files too large for your hard drive from any Internet connection worldwide.
Backup
An external drive adds security against the failure of your machine, but what if your house burns down? ExpanDrive makes truly secure backup as simple as clicking “Save As…” and highlighting your SSH share on a disk hundreds of miles away.
Sharing
By placing your home movies in online storage, you can create a central resource accessible to friends and family from anywhere in the world. No more sacrificing quality or security for accessibility.
