A few months ago I was working on a small project to create a MacFUSE file system for Xdrive. Then the news came that AOL was shutting down Xdrive and over night my project became worthless. I had wasted countless hours building a nice Open XDrive Cocoa framework that was used to build the MacFUSE file system. I had built and tested a UI to authenticate a user and mount multiple Xdrives. I had tested that it worked on Tiger and Leopard. And, I had it localized in English, Chinese, Japanese, and Russian.
I let this project sit on the shelf and did not touch it. Then, the other day I tried it out and it still worked. I was surprised how easy it was to use and I felt sad that it was never finished.
Today, I decided to release this project, a MacFUSE file system for Xdrive that runs on Mac OS X. Even though it is not fully complete, I know it works fairly well. I would like others to have a chance to try it out.
First, download and install MacFUSE. Then, download XDriveFS and un-archive the file. You can then run the extracted XDriveFS application file.
Give it a try and let me know if it works for you.
