MountWatcher allows users to manage Windows (SMB) and Apple (AFP) volumes, shares, and disks with ease. This software simplifies the process of controlling these file systems, making it simpler for users to manage and access their data.
MountWatcher is an essential Mac OS X software for those looking to streamline the process of organizing, automating and monitoring the mounting of Windows (SMB) and Apple (AFP) volumes/shares/disks. With this app, you can automatically mount volumes both at work and at home, providing the ultimate convenience for laptop users. It can even wake up sleeping computers on an ethernet LAN.
Another impressive feature of MountWatcher is its monitor mounts capability. This means that it can keep an eye on a mount and if a server goes down, MountWatcher will remount the share when the server comes back online. However, you need to check the "Monitor this mount and keep it mounted" switch for this feature to work.
While MountWatcher can mount Windows shares when the username is local to the server doing the sharing, it doesn't support DOMAIN Server authentication at this time. However, the developer is working on Domain Server authentication and Active Directory. This doesn't affect regular non-DOMAIN Windows mounts though.
MountWatcher uses Bonjour to make mounting a local volume easy, and it can also be set up to use one global user and password for all volumes, making it a versatile software. However, the demo version only allows the use of the first record, which may hinder its full potential.
Overall, MountWatcher is an efficient and user-friendly software that aims to simplify the process of organizing, automating, and monitoring the mounting of Windows and Apple volumes, and shares.
