Mac Mapped Drive Client BETA 5.4
Scott Miller
Version 5.4.2 of the MyWorkDrive macOS Map Drive client is now available for download as a preview release.
This release includes new features introduced in 5.3 and 5.4 of MyWorkDrive as well as an overhaul of our macOS file system integration to account for changes in macOS and position us to more quickly address bugs and future changes going forward.
This preview release requires the latest build of MyWorkDrive server. Please update to the latest prior to testing. Server versions prior to 5.4.2 latest are not supported nor recommended.
This release is not final and contains a number of issues we are continuing to work on. Of note,
* The notation about required Fuse version needs to be updated on install and run. Please use Fuse 10.3.4 (latest) with client 5.4.2.
*User names are occasionally saved even when "remember me" is not checked.
*Opening office documents which are in use (locked) by another user will not produce the same locked/in use message as connecting via SMB or PC Map Drive Client. Warnings about the file being read only appear in the Window title bar and when saving.
*A generic system message is shown for path or file names which are too deep instead of an informative message.
*Files changed in other clients or on the network may not immediately display as changed in Finder. If the file is deleted or renamed you will get a message that the removed file cannot be accessed. Changed files are updated to the latest on open, so don’t worry that you could be editing some old version of the file. Its just the display which may, at times, fall out of date.
Additionally, a couple of our newer features are not yet supported -
*Custom Error Message for Password Expired and Account Locked Out
*Map Drive client specific file size limits
Finally, please note that on Catalina 10.15, you must authorize the application when you attempt to install by visiting security & privacy in system preferences to approve it.
A warning message will appear during install indicating it cannot be completed. Immediately after you receive it, go to security and privacy and the message will appear there.

We will be continuing to work on the issues noted above, and welcome your feedback on any issues you encounter.
