Hi Dean, Glad things are working for you. One of the nice features of ExpanDrive is that if you are using a laptop, and close it up and then go to a new location, it should re-establish a connection to the device when you open up your computer at the new location. And I only tried using this with unix and linux servers. Again, this wasn't the latest version of ExpanDrive. The nice thing is that you can download trial versions of the software and test them on the system you want to use before deciding whether the product is worth buying. And you can do the same with the Webdrive app that Emrah recommended, and make your comparisons.
