File Explorer

[Buzz]

Hi all - another one of those daft questions which probably has a simple answer.  I store my files on an external drive but the PI file explorer (Mac OSX) only sees the main Mac drive. Is that on purpose?

thanks for that, I found the terminal command at the bottom of that post - Mac OSX then gave a warning about it being risky and I backed off.

sudo SetFile -a v /Volumes

I guess I'll just ignore File Explorer

What warning did you get?

[pfile]

probably just the first time "respect the power of sudo" banner that sudo prints?

Chris, if that's the case then I hope you are not dissuaded. Sudo has many useful and correct applications. To never execute a sudo command because of this warning is to never maximize the potential of OS X or, as in this case, correct unnecessary defaults imposed by Apple.

OK - I'll give it a go. I certainly recognise the advantages of file explorer.  Thanks for the advice.
