![]() My quick and sloppy fix: compile the beta as a 64 bit application – which worked, but it was unfinished and Dark Theme support was kind-a crappy. This unfortunately was not my only application that was affected by the shift to 64 bit – so I started running out of time – big time. However, the arrival of Catalina forced me to bring out a beta of version 2, as the original ConnectMeNow is only 32 bits. Just a quick note on the versions of ConnectMeNow, because I already hear folks asking: what happened with version 2?Īfter having released the original version (1.x), I started tinkering with a new version. ConnectMeNow – What happened to version 2? More about that later, since ConnectMeNow also allows you to create your own directory where a mount should be placed and ConnectMeNow has the option in the menu to reveal the mount in Finder with a single click. When using ConnectMeNow, the easiest way is by going to the “/Volumes/” directory on your Mac where you’ll find all mounted network shares that are active. On that note: The Finder is even with ConnectmeNow not the best way to get to your mounted network shares. I just got tired of doing all this manual labor. So this is where ConnectMeNow is supposed to come in. ![]() Out of the box, under macOS, you’ll need to go through some hoops to “open” such a Network Share.Įither the “server” is listed in Finder on the left, and you’ll have to click it to be confronted with selecting a share-name and entering username and password, OR you have to use “Go” menu in Finder and select “Connect to server” option – which comes with even more questions.īoth options are rather cumbersome, if not slow, if you ask me (Apple: please pay attention here – this is a rather poor user experience!). For example a QNAP NAS runs a Linux variant, however can share directories in a Windows originated format (SMB), and be accessed by a macOS computer. The Operating System of these “computers” does not need to be relevant. The “different computer” can be another computer, a NAS ( Network Attached Storage – like from QNAP, Synology, Western Digital, Seagate, etc.), or even a full size server. ![]() Note: this is most certainly not the most complete, technical or most correct description, but for most regular users this will suffice. So, let’s start by explaining what “ mounting network shares” means.Īttaching a directory located on a different computer, shared over a network, to your computer as if it was a local disk drive. Mounting Network Shares with ConnectMeNow Support for this version has been stopped. ![]() Outdated version – Version 4 has been releasedĮven though this version will still work, it has been replaced by a newer version ConnectMeNow v4.
