Mount Options

Mount as Guest

If you enabled on the Administrator User Interface of just:store the guest access of the Sharepoint you have to select this checkbox to be able to mount the Sharepoint on your Mac.

Depending on the permissions you set on the Administrator User Interface you will have read and write or only read access. You can also change the permission afterward which will need to remount the Sharepoint on the client to get the new permissions.

Mount Read Only

The mount read-only functionality will override the permissions which are set on the just:store Administrator User Interface and force a read-only mount. So due to this, you are only able to download files from the just:store Sharepoint.

Hide Share Mount

If you enabled in the Finder settings the visibility of network volumes the just:store Sharepoints will be displayed automatically. So for the case you want to hide a Sharepoint for backup processes you can also hide the Sharepoint in the Finder.

Manual Mount Only

Enabling the Manual Mount Only will disable an automatic mount in the background. So you have to manually press the Mount button to see the content of the Sharepoint.

Mount Rules

The mount rule editor allows you to define when you would like the server to start mounting shares. The server will only mount shares if any/all of your rule conditions are met.

Creating a Mount Rule

    • If you've already configured your server, click the “Edit” button next to that server.

    • To add a new server, see add server above.

  2. Click the “Set Mount Rules” button.

  3. Click any '+' to add a rule.

    • Current WiFi Connection: matches against your currently connected WiFi SSID Name.

    • Current 24h Time: define an hour between 0 and 23. You can create multiple time rules to create a range. Example: 16-22.

    • Computer Power: matches against your laptop power connection state (connected to power or not).

    • Any Open App Name: matches against any open application name. Example: Safari.

    • Connected to VPN: detects if you're connected to VPN.

    • Current Network Routes: checks if a particular network subnet is accessible, which is called a 'route'. This is most useful when combined with the VPN rule. You can see all currently accessible routes by clicking on the '?' next to 'Current Routes' at the bottom of the mount rules panel. The route must be entered exactly as shown, for example '192.168.0.0'.
