ExpanDrive: Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros I purchased one ExpanDrive license after I saw this post, because I need a consistent solution for mounting OneDrive as a fuse drive. Objectively speaking, the product does not work. It basically shuts down with no message after a couple minutes. Support basically ghosted me after they got my money and never responded to my enquiries. The product was great -- for the duration of the trial. It's hard to come up with Pros for something that just doesn't work. The demo worked so I suppose that was good. Initially the purchased application connected to my organization's Sharepoint. Looks great upon first use as it comes with an amazing large collection of integrations are possible. Cons I purchased one ExpanDrive license after I saw this post, because I need a consistent solution for mounting OneDrive as a fuse drive. Objectively speaking, the product does not work. It basically shuts down with no message after a couple minutes. Support basically ghosted me after they got my money and never responded to my enquiries. Nonexistent customer support. Service that is useless. Ultimately, it stopped working. The program reported an error fetching updates. I wrote to support and they apologized saying they had changed the key and would help me get the new key; but almost a month has gone by and I never heard from them again, despite a few email reminders. I can no longer write files to Sharepoint using ExpanDrive, so it's worthless. I finally quit the program and then it left some process (exfs) using 100% of my CPU so I had to manually kill that. The company provide near zero technical support. If they don't like your question they just won't respond to you at all. It's shocking how dire their support is. The software is buggy as well, I've used it with various integrations and every time had issues, hence trying to reach out to them.	NetDrive: Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros I connected NetDrive and Plex to build a multimedia streaming environment. Google Drive is used for video storage, and 4K video streaming is also possible using NetDrive. So I can see the video I want to see anywhere. I use Dropbox and Google Drive a lot. It can be used directly from Explorer without taking up space on the local drive. It is very convenient to use in explorer. Reliable SFTP and FTP support. Auto and effortless to mount storage. Quick background file uploading process. Easy to add team members. Its file upload speed is great especially when there are large number of small files. If you have NAS you need this. Cons I mainly use Windows, but sometimes I use Linux. I would like to support Linux as well. It cannot be used when the Internet is not available. I never encountered any problem with this platform. No support for client side encryption. I saw it on their support forum that they have this feature on their list but not yet.
