ExpanDrive for Windows v1.8.4

Jeff Mancuso July 6th, 2010

We’ve just released ExpanDrive 1.8.4! To upgrade you’ll need to download the new installer and install overtop your existing installation. It will require a reboot to complete the installation as we have made a variety of tweaks to the filesystem driver.

This is the first ExpanDrive for Windows release in a bit and we want to let you know we haven’t forgotten about any of our loyal Windows users. We’re currently hard at work on merging ExpanDrive for Mac and ExpanDrive for Windows into a single product with a shared feature set. It’s our highest priority.

ExpanDrive v1.8.4 fixes most outstanding bugs as well and adds in a new automatic update system based on WinSparkle. Additional, this release adds in provides licensing for users of our upcoming Strongspace online storage service.

This is a solid update and we recommend you install it.

  • NEW All new auto-updater based on WinSparkle auto-update framework
  • NEW Automatic licensing for users of Strongspace.com online storage – ExpanDrive’s upcoming online storage service
  • CHANGED Updated to OpenSSL 0.9.8l crypto library
  • CHANGED Improved support for running in unprivileged environments
  • CHANGED Updated command line processing to include support for passwords
  • CHANGED Improved browsing performance of drives
  • FIXED Fixed issue causing playback to fail on Windows Media Player 10
  • FIXED Fixed issue where ExpanDrive would cause DFS mounted drives to function poorly while ExpanDrive was running
  • FIXED Fixed licensing issue that could incorrectly warn of a corrupted license
  • FIXED Fixed and tweaked many other small issues

    Glad to see a new release for Windows, can’t wait to see what’s next! It was way easier to set up an sftp+chroot on my network storage than Samba or NFS+KRB+LDAP.

    I can’t believe we still haven’t got simple FTP in the windows version …. Its been promised for a looong time now (years)

    Love your software!

    Here’s an idea though…. Allow mapping to google docs… Becoming more and more important — especially when working on docs with collaborators….
