Net Drive Status For Mac

With an almost self-explanatory name, Net Drive Status is an unobtrusive and lightweight OS X application that provides you with instant feedback regarding the presence and state of either a network or a USB drive.

Basically, the application notifies you if a specific network drive is available and accessible by changing its status bar icon’s color or via Notification Center notifications.

This makes it ideal for users who work with apps that require external sources and need fast feedback, for example, users who need to backup their files on a server or on a USB based device connected to the local area network while being sure that the backup device is online.

Net Drive Status is also very useful when it comes to checking USB drives as well as local files on your Mac. Its usefulness doesn’t stop here, as Net Drive Status can also be used to warn you if your iTunes library that’s saved on a network volume isn’t available.

Now that you know what it can do and why it may be of use for some users, you should also know that the app can display a list with all the mounted volumes visible by your Mac.

What’s more, within the app’s Preferences menu, you can setup it to notify you when a certain network or USB drive is or isn’t available by changing its menu bar icon’s color, via notifications, or with the help of a simple sound. Also, as expected, the app can be setup to automatically start once at system login.

Net Drive Status is a small application that deserves to be an addition to your Mac’s collection of useful utilities stacked in the menu bar. With Net Drive Status, all you see is all your get: a small and perfectly integrated OS X app that offers you feedback about the status of a specific network drive.
