SFTP Net Drive - The free version works, but I get frequent 20 second pauses in open dialogs.Also has some bugs in the UI (you have to save the password to get it to work), and the developer appears to be absent. There are many alternatives to NetDrive for Windows if you are looking for a replacement.Given that the 'server' is a VM running locally, this isn't a network issue, and it DOESN'T happen with sshfs. The best free Windows alternative is RaiDrive.ĮxpanDrive - Seems to be working in my initial tests. If that doesnt suit you, our users have ranked more than 25 alternatives to NetDrive and 19 are free and available for Windows so hopefully you can find a suitable replacement. I wouldn't mind a slimmer solution (it supports N different cloud providers as well as SFTP), but it DOES work. I'd obviously like a free solution, but if none exists, I'll happily pay money for something. Update: I've added answers below with the ones I've actually had some success with.
#NETDRIVE FREE FOR HOME USE DRIVER#
Out of the ones you listed: I would be cautious with sshfs as the underlying driver (Dokan) has not been updated for quite a while, and even though it supports Windows 7, it has known issues with Windows 8.x (and probably with Windows 10).ĮxpanDrive works like a charm, and I don't see the need for a "slimmer solution", you can simply not use the protocols you don't need.
#NETDRIVE FREE FOR HOME USE SOFTWARE#
I'm surprised by the behavior you describe regarding SFTP Net Drive I have it installed at many customers' locations and it's probably the most reliable piece of software I've ever tried (when properly configured). Personally, out of 100+ installations, I've never seen the behavior you describe.Īnother excellent option that you may consider is WebDrive. Like ExpanDrive it supports a plethora of protocols, but don't be intimidated, it's easy to use and fairly lightweight.Īlso, you may check out NetDrive very similar to ExpanDrive and WebDrive, with a wide support for many back-ends, and a clean and easy-to-use configuration interface.
