By setting the appropriate check boxes, you can set ExpanDrive to open when you login, warn you before you disconnect, and automatically check for updates. Additionally, you can chose whether ExpanDrive windows open and close using an esthetically-pleasing fade, or the standard OS X effects.

You can also customize how recent drives are displayed in the Status Item menu. This is explained further with the other features of the Status Item menu.

For advanced users ExpanDrive is shipped with a small Terminal utility called expan. If you'd like to be able to connect and disconnect drives from a command line, like Apple's Terminal.app, click Install Terminal Utility to make a shortcut to the expan utility in a place that is in your path.

Global Shortcut allows you to record a key combination that will activate the ExpanDrive Manager from wherever you are on your computer - making it much easier to access and control drives
