Great app
Hairless Jim
Very happy to have an easy-to-use app that makes sense of the Mac file structure.I've found how to mount shares from my NAS but I can't see an option to unmount when done.Is it also please possible to mount the NAS share folders under a NAS tree, rather than simply mount them all individually?
Almost perfect

The most annoying thing about MacOS is Finder. It’s horrible compared to Windows Explorer. This app is an even better version of Windows Explorer. It looks beautiful and, for the few months I’ve been using it, very stable.I have a couple of feature requests. Make the interactive path control do more than just allow you to instantly step back to a parent folder with a click - it should drop down the other folders under each parent folder when you click them (like Windows Explorer allows). I also wish you could start the app with more than just a few hardcoded folders expanded.
Developer Response
Thank you for the suggestions! The breadcrumb dropdown isn't available yet, but it's planned for the Path bar in the future. In the meantime, clicking the last component lets you edit the path directly with autocomplete, which may help in some situations. As for the startup state - you can use "Set as Default Folder" from the Tree view's context menu to control which folder opens in a new window, with the tree expanded to it.UPD: v. 2.5.0 added breadcrumb dropdown menus to the path bar. Please update!
Excellent app

Moving from Windows to MacOS has been generally pain free other than having to use Finder for file management. This app has been reliable after two months and makes moving files between folders and drives much like Windows Explorer, so much easier than using Finder. Happy with MacOS now that I have this app!
Better than Finder
