So has this been solved?Īt the time of writing, ExpanDrive continues to offer a free 7-day trial. My main complaints with ExpanDrive 5 on a Mac were it’s inability to handle large files and large multi-file transfers, and the fact that it froze all the time. Sync files and folders for offline access.Multi-threaded transfer, up to 500% faster.Integrated context menus and transfer badges.Even now, months on from its release, the changes are not entirely clear so most of the information in this article will be based on the newsletter they sent out announcing the version 6 update as per the two lists below (also published on their blog here).

There is very little information about the v6 release on their website or Twitter. Let me know in the comments at the end of this post! Meanwhile, here is what I’ve found. The question is, does real-life usage actually match the claims? I’d love to hear your experiences. It also adds two new cloud platforms, BackBlaze B2 and Google Team Drive as well as a new user interface. It comes with claims of being 500% faster and the addition of offline-sync mode. So as a traveller looking to keep my local storage at a minimum while having everything backed up and readily available in the cloud, I’m excited to see what version 6 brings to the table. Now, ExpanDrive 6 is here, released almost 6 months ago (July 5, 2017) it’s had some time to release minor updates and bug fixes.

As you may have read in my previous blog post on ExpanDrive 5, it had some great features, but some significant caveats.
