REW on Mac don’t see external or cloud drives

[romanmmusic]

Hey all,

My REW on Mac doesn't see external or cloud drives like Dropbox or box.com when in open or save windows… just shows all local drives, including username folder, and others, but not external drives.

Running latest version of REW as well as macOS on M1 MacBook Pro.

Any suggestions?

@John Mulcahy could answer specifically, but, the Java file browser probably only 'sees' drives mounted in the file system (mounted shared volume attached via an Airport basestation):

Any particular reason why? Or how to fix it?

@John Mulcahy are you able to chime in on the MAC issue above?

PS appreciate all the work you do with REW, thank you sir!

Cloud service access is a Java issue rather than an REW issue, the file browser accesses the OS file system through the Java runtime. There is a View preference to use the system file dialog on macOS, that may offer access the Java file dialog doesn't. Generally installing whatever app the cloud service provider offers will map the cloud drives into the file system and make them accessible. That is the case for OneDrive, I don't have other cloud services on my Mac.
