![]() Expandrive review mods#With the ID change in 1.7 it will not be nearly as difficult for players to drop mods into the packs after creation or even to combine many of the packs into 1 large pack. We may make packs that focus on other energy systems as well depending on how viable it is to find enough addons for other energy systems. Going forward to 1.7 modpacks our main energy system will be RF. Most mods have swapped to or are at least compatible with RF. There are also less mods with native support for only IC2 or BC at this point. Packs always end up feeling like they have one main energy system and every other system is just on the side. We are not comfortable with continuing to attempt to balance multiple energy systems against each other in every pack. If that happens, this could be the best way to access cloud storage on the Mac… but at this point it’s very early, and definitely too early to tell.Jadedcat, post: 623024, member: 1388 wrote:As Eyamaz and I have started looking towards official 1.7 modpack builds we have noticed many changes in MC mods. Two key assumptions / requirements: Apple has to keep supporting and maintaining this, and Strongsync needs to keep up with whatever changes happen to the services and with Apple’s APIs. I also think that Strongsync will work better than ExpanDrive, precisely because it is using Apple’s own technology rather than trying to “bolt on” this functionality. Once Strongsync supports all of the services that ExpanDrive supports, I don’t know why the developer would keep supporting both apps. I don’t know this for a fact, but I would be willing to believe that Strongsync could eventually replace ExpanDrive. I believe the app is completely new, or almost completely new, so I didn’t mind paying for a second app, assuming that the app succeeds and exists for as long as ExpanDrive does. If I’m honest, Strongsync seems more like a new generation of ExpanDrive. Even the Strongsync webpage still listed Dropbox support as ‘coming soon’. Last night when I went to the website looking for information about the Dropbox integration, there was none. They have information about ExpanDrive and Strongsync intermixed, so it’s easy to be looking for Strongsync info and suddenly realize you are reading something about ExpanDrive instead. The website and company is clearly set up to sell one product (ExpanDrive) and now they’ve added a second one, but you see ‘ExpanDrive’ in a lot of places where it should be ’Strongsync’ - including when you go to authorize it to Dropbox. For example, moving a large folder from one folder to another gives you a ‘progress bar’ which basically tells you nothing other than ‘please wait’ with no clue how long it will take to finish. ![]() I’m sure they’ll get there eventually, but will it be a week? A month? 6 months? Then again, Google Drive doesn’t work at all on M1 Macs. The problem is that now it has been awhile, and they still have nothing to show for it, not even a beta. has been completely silent on this issue makes me think they realize it’s going to be awhile. ( Side note: The fact that Dropbox is still not native on Apple Silicon and that Dropbox, Inc. ![]() ![]() The main benefit here is that you don’t need to have the Dropbox app installed, it’s native on Apple Silicon, and it is using Apple’s recommended “File Provider” APIs (or something, the point is that they’re doing this the way Apple wants you to do this). Expandrive review full#I started using this last night, so it isn’t a full review, just an initial impression.ĭropbox support in Strongsync seems to work every bit as well and as fast as Dropbox natively if you use “Smart Sync” and don’t have everything sync’d locally. The big question to me is - is there a meaningful benefit of Strongsync over Expandrive? Apparently now Strongsync supports Dropbox as well ![]()
