Personally, I cannot get behind rewarding this underhanded approach of extorting current users and forcing them into updates. And the App doesn't even tell you this - it just stops working. Instead, Expandrive decided to send out an Update via the normal Mac update system, and only to include a bolded line at the top of the information window stating that it was a paid update.Įxpandrive stops working for anyone who does the right thing and agrees to install the Update (or does so automatically), but who hasn't paid for the new licence. Rather than what seems to be the industry standard, where Version n users get a prompt or email encouraging them to update to Version n+1, but they can also choose to stay with the current version until its end of support/life. This App is nice in the way it is laid out, and it seems to work fairly well in my usage.īut what I cannot get onboard with is how they drive customers to pay for updates. It's a great idea, being able to quickly and easily mount remote file storage as a local drive.
