Tired of manually remounting your network shares? AutoMounter keeps them mounted and ready whenever you need them. AutoMounter is a smart and lightweight menu bar app that automatically mounts your network shares when needed—so you never have to think about it. With minimal setup, it keeps your connections active and your workflows uninterrupted. FEATURES - Automatically mounts shares when the NAS is available - Quickly remounts shares if they unmount - Supports multiple NAS appliances, with server + share discovery and configuration assistant - Advanced mount rules to prevent or allow mounting shares, matching against network states, computer states and more... - Run commands and scripts on mount events (requires Helper App) - Mount to /Volumes and custom locations (requires Helper App) - Open apps and files when a share mounts (requires Helper App) - Wake On LAN to unavailable servers - Pause automatic mounts, or take manual control - SMB / WebDAV / AFP / (NFS without mount options) / (FTP is read-only) - Dark Theme - Export and import settings (including support for Managed Profiles)

Very helpful - but needs some more options, especially for NFS

I purchased this primarily to auto-mount SMB shares from my NAS, and it does a good job of that.I hoped to also use it to mount a few NFS shares, but unfortunately the lack of available options prevents me from doing that. If there could be a way to fully specify all available NFS mount options - soft, async, NFS version (eg vers=4), etc - then this would be a really nice option for me. Especially as Automounter has a 'hide mount' option, preventing the mount appearing under my Devices, which is really annoying when I have dozens of NFS mounts.Developer, please add a way to specify any arbitrary mount options for all mounts - but especially NFS - and my review will be an immediate 5 star. This could be hidden under an 'advanced/expert' tab or something. The current dropdown system is OK, but isn't suitable for all the many mount options that exist for network mounts, especially NFS. I want to just be able to type them out.Anyway, still useful software for most SMB mounting needs, and recommended for that use case at least.

It makes the mounting process so much simpler

For ages I've been wrestling with trying to get my NAS shares to quietly (without having to click alerts or minimise windows) mount on boot.I resorted to writing my own Applescript in order to do it. This meant having to learn the basics of the language as well as some pretty technical stuff I didn't want to know in the first place. Even after all this it was buggy, I'd be constantly having to switch between SMB and NFS due to glitchiness, slowdowns, and random disconnects.I eventually found Automounter, after a pretty deep and intensive session of Google-fu late one night, and I'm happy to report it made everything so much simpler. In addition my mounts are just a lot happier, I have not experienced any of the same issues I did with my homebrew Applescript.In addition, after the recent Mojave update, my NFS shares all broke. I emailed Automounter support and they replied in 5 minutes! Admittedely it was about midnight here in the UK and, them being in NZ, it was probably getting close to knock-off time but still... It was 5 minutes!! They let me know a possible issue and I made some adjustments and now, in the words of the great inventor Wallace, "Everything is under control!".Brilliant!!

I move between servers and shared folders at home and at various offices. This app makes it easy to move between locations and automatically makes sure that all the shares are mounted correctly. In addition, when I manually mounted my NAS box share which contains my master photos, for some reason OSX mounted it in a different location (probably my fault). However, this app makes sure that my photos are always available in the same place which stops Lightroom from being confused. Support is very responsive, patient and friendly. I cannot recommend this highly enough to any travelling mac user!

Pro add-on needed for PLEX

After initial problems which were quickly dealt with by sending an email to support Automounter appears to be working. My only ctisisism is the fact that you buy the add-on if you have any program that uses mapped shares. For me that is PLEX. I have a huge plex server so without the Pro add-on I will have to eddit the folders and add them again, this is very messy and, in my case, very time consuming. The additional feature should be standard and there is absolutely no reason why it can’t be.

This is a large update, and while I have done my best to test all scenarios there might be some configuration that I haven't been able to test. If you experience any issues, please get in touch with support@pixeleyes.co.nz. Thank you for your continued support! - Added support for macOS 27 - Support for AFP has been removed on macOS 27+. Configured AFP shares stay visible, however they will be disabled. - Added support for NetBIOS / WSD Network Services - Find and resolve PC servers by computer name via Configuration Assistant or Edit Server > Discovered Servers - SMB / CIFS connections are now made via computer name if supported. Previously only IP address or DNS hostname was supported. - All other service connections (NFS, WebDAV, etc) use the resolved IP address - Server and Share discovery UI has been improved within Configuration Assistant and Configure Server / Share views - Added support for discovering SMB, NFS, WebDAV and AFP shares - Much faster discovery of servers and shares on large networks - Share Configuration UI has been improved to better reflect settings and their function - choose between mount modes (automatic or manual) - choose between authentication options (system managed, mount as guest or kerberos) - share protocols now shows availability status in the menu - help text improvements and guidance - Added WebDAV Bonjour service support with port discovery and autofill when adding shares - Added script run results in share 'Type' popover, showing time run and the exit status (AutoMounter Helper update required) - Improved server availability checks - Fixed bugs with ping and the associated mount rule - Fixed bug where two or more of the same mount rule with different conditions and results shows an incorrect server mount rule state - Fixed bug where stale Bonjour services were not removed over time - Fixed bugs with mount handling - avoid duplicate mounts and timeouts - fix mounting shares with the same share name but different protocols - Fixed Managed Profile export not working - Updated Localisation
