The app works with all sorts of files and can also be configured to scan sub-folders within a given directory. You can make judgement yourself if you want to trash by selecting them. It also provides Shared File (owned by me) Finder, Orphaned File Finder (Not have a parent folder). Supports IE, Chrome, Firefox. Provides connect with Google Drive. Access Google Drive as a shared drive. ExpanDrive lets you actually mount your Google Drive account as a virtual drive, just like a USB Drive, on Mac or Windows. It adds Google Drive to Finder so you can browse and access your Drive account without needing to first sync your files, which takes up time and space on your laptop.
If you are a programmer, check out how to create your own FuguHub applications and the technical information on how the FuguHub WebDAV server instance works.
The following instructions are for configuring the Mac Finder for connecting to your FuguHub server.
Use a browser and navigate to your FuguHub server. We use realtimelogic.info in this example. You cannot use this server; you must navigate to your own server or the server you have been assigned to.
Navigate to the internal FuguHub user interface, e.g., https://your-domain-name/rtl/
Click the 'Web-File-Server' link at the top and login.
On the 'Web-File-Server' page, click one of the links presented, i.e., one of the directories you have access to. We have access to one directory in the example image shown above.
In your browser, copy the browser URL from the FuguHub Web File Server
Switch to the Mac Finder, Click Go, Connect to Server (or Command-K)
Paste the URL copied from the browser into the 'Server Address' field
Click the 'Connect' button
The above warning is shown if you do not have your own server domain name and you do not have a valid certificate. Click the 'Continue' button. You would be trusting your own server.
Enter your FuguHub credentials in the Finder's WebDAV File System Authentication dialog
Click 'OK' to connect to the FuguHub WebDAV server
You may encounter a few problems when using the WebDAV feature in Finder.
Finder behaves very slow
Google Drive For Desktop Mac
Note: WebDAV performance has greatly improved in Mac OS X 10.7.4
A WebDAV connected drive may operate extremely slow on some Mac operating systems. Newer Mac operating systems seems to be faster. The reason new Mac operating systems are faster is that they are better at caching small operations. The Mac integrates the WebDAV feature in the file system and many applications such as Finder create an enormous amount of file system operations. If not cached by the WebDAV client in the Mac operating system, these requests will be sent to the server, thus slowing down the WebDAV connection.
You can speed up the Finder by performing the following operations:
Prevent .DS_Store file creation on network volumes
For any network connected drive, in Finder: uncheck 'Show icon preview' option for Column view and disable 'Show item info' in icon view
Do not navigate into directories with many files
Google: slow finder webdav
Non English characters not working
Finder seems to have a problem with UTF-8 encoded characters mixed with spaces. You should avoid using non English characters in folder names and file names together with space characters. Alternatively, use the free Cyberduck Mac WebDAV client which does not have any problems with UTF-8 encoding. Please note that Cyberduck does not integrate with the file system; thus you will not be able to work with files directly on the server. You must first copy the files to your local file system before you can work on the files.
Learn how to map Google Drive as a fast network drive on macOS, Windows or Linux. Access your entire Google Google Workspace account on-demand without having to suck up disk space by pre-syncing all of your data.

Getting started with Google
Google Drive is Google’s file storage and sharing product for GSuite. For personal accounts it comes with 15GB of free online storage. Business, enterprise and academic GSuite plans have unlimited storage.
Most people use Drive via their browser directly at https://drive.google.com. Serious users need a full native integration on their desktop that lets them access files in the cloud from within any application.
Google provides native integration options such their iOS/Android App and their backup and sync client, available for regular GSuite accounts. If you’re looking to get full native access to Google Drive in Finder or Explorer a shared network drive is a great option.
Mounting Google Drive
ExpanDrive is a powerful Google Drive client that connects to Google’s API transforming Drive into a fast network drive. It makes your entire accounts available from any app on your desktop.
Version 7.7.6 for Mac, Windows and Linux February 19th, 2021
Sync clients generally require you pre-download and keep a copy of all the files you’re interested in on your machine. This takes up valuable harddrive space, time and bandwidth. Often for files you don’t need. With a shared drive you can access everything on-demand. If your company has many TB of data stored in the cloud and you travel with a small laptop, a mapping a network drive to Google lets you have the best of both worlds.
Connect to multiple accounts
Another nice thing about connecting to Google Drive as a network drive is that you can connect to multiple Google Drive accounts at the same time. You can map the root of your Google Drive or an individual Team Drive as a drive letter. You can even configure ExpanDrive to mount individual folders within your personal drive or within a Team Drive. If you’re working on a project confined to one tree of folders, this can be really convenient.
Powerful Server Edition
Head over to our ExpanDrive Server Edition page for instructions and packages for Windows and Linux servers. ExpanDrive Server edition is designed to run unattended, at boot [versus login], and provides drives that can even be re-shared on the network.
Mac Finder App
Requirements
ExpanDrive supports macOS 10.10 or newer and a wide variety of Linux distributions including Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Centos, Fedora, Redhat, and more. Learn more about how to install ExpanDrive for Linux here.
ExpanDrive runs on Microsoft Windows 7 through Windows 10. Windows Server is also supported as well as RDP/Terminal services environments. ExpanDrive can isolate multiple users logged into the same machine so they each have their own view of cloud storage.
Map specific Team Drive
Let’s say you’re working on a team of people that is all using the same Team Drive. You can map that team drive to its own drive letter by configuring the remote path inside ExpanDrive. All of the team drives are organized in the “Team Drives” folder. Free tycoon games for mac. If you had a Team Drive named “work” you could mount just that by setting the remote path to “/Team Drives/work” inside ExpanDrive.
Files on demand
Saving disk space or accessing huge shared Google Drive accounts is another great thing about ExpanDrive and Google Drive. Everything is accessed on demand without preemptively syncing data back and forth. So if you were working on a huge Team Drive like in the previous example you could mount that entire space without needing to first sync it to your computer. You can also easily mark files to be available as offline so you can get work done even without an internet connection.
Access Google Drive as a shared drive
ExpanDrive lets you actually mount your Google Drive account as a virtual drive, just like a USB Drive, on Mac or Windows. It adds Google Drive to Finder so you can browse and access your Drive account without needing to first sync your files, which takes up time and space on your laptop. Just access what you need, when you need it, from within any app like Finder, Windows Explorer, Microsoft Word, Photoshop, or whatever you use. Everything is safely in the cloud but not taking up space on your computer. Isn’t that the point of cloud storage anyways?
Free up hard drive space
What good is a 10TB account if your only supported mechanism move data is via sync. Jason Snell recently wrote a piece at Six Colors called the Dropbox Terabyte Conundrum about this same problem with Dropbox’s new 1TB plan. Using Sync to move your data means you need to pick a folder that mirrors your Drive account and then keep a copy of all that data on your machine. So unless your laptop have a 10TB Drobo or Synology NAS attached to it, then you can’t really DO much with a 10TB Google Drive account. Unless you have ExpanDrive.
