The MacDrive 8 Release Candidate 2 is now available for download!
MacDrive has become a must-have for anyone needing to share files on Mac disks with Windows users. With MacDrive you can read and write to any Mac disk-including the Mac partition on a Boot Camp Mac, directly from Windows.
MacDrive adds to its core functionality, and brings new features to cross-platform computers.
Here is what’s new in MacDrive 8:
Windows 7 compatibility
Windows 7 is nearing the finish line and MacDrive 8 has been built to work with both Windows 7 (32-bit & 64-bit), Vista (32-bit & 64-bit) and XP (32-bit). Windows 7 is still a work in progress, so we will continue to update Mac Drive to give you the best user experience possible.
Windows 7 Libraries
Windows 7 can aggregate content from multiple locations. For example, if you have photos in a “My Pictures” folder, on your desktop and in a “Travel” folder Windows 7 can combine all of the photos into one “Pictures” folder. MacDrive 8 adds to this powerful feature by automatically adding content from the Mac partition on a Boot Camp Mac to your Windows 7 libraries.
Apple Time Machine
Apple’s amazing Time Machine backup file sets can now be accessed like any other Mac file direct from Windows. Using MacDrive, you are able to browse the backed up files and copy the contents to your PC.
Mac CD/DVD burning
Creating Mac CDs and DVDs is even better in MacDrive 8. From your Windows PC, you can create Mac CD, DVD, Dual Layer DVD, and more. All from your Windows PC.
Support for large disks
Are you using a G Technology G-RAID 3 or LaCie Big Disk Quadra?
If so, MacDrive 8 has added robust support for any large disks over 2TB.
The MacDrive 8 RC2 will work with Windows 7 (32-bit & 64-bit), Vista (32-bit & 64-bit), and XP (32-bit).
The MacDrive 8 RC2 will expire on July 15, 2009. To ensure that you do not experience an interruption of your ability to use MacDrive 8, an updated version will be released prior to the expiration of the MacDrive 8 RC2.
Also, we know you want the latest and greatest, but you might not want to use Beta software. We have you covered. You can purchase MacDrive 7 today and you will receive a FREE upgrade to MacDrive 8 when it is released later this summer. Also, if you purchased MacDrive 7 after May 1, 2009 you will receive a FREE upgrade to MacDrive 8.
