macOS Native Installation Guide

This section covers how to install the app on macOS using the standard .dmg installer. The process is quick and straightforward, with just a couple of setup steps to ensure everything works smoothly on both Intel and Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) machines.

System Requirements

Before you begin, make sure your system meets the following:

• macOS 12.0 Monterey or later
• At least 300MB of free disk space
• Internet connection for mounting cloud-hosted buckets, or LAN connection for mounting local buckets
• macFUSE 4.8.2 or later must be installed (we’ll walk you through it)

Step 1: Download the Installer

Download the correct .dmg file for your system.

If you're unsure which chip you have:

• Click the Apple  menu in the top left
• Select About This Mac
• Look for Processor (Intel) or Chip (Apple M1, M2, etc.)

Step 2: Install the App

1. Double-click the .dmg file to mount it
2. Drag the app into your Applications folder

Step 3: Install macFUSE (Required)

The app uses macFUSE to handle filesystem mounting. If you don’t have it already:

1. Download the latest version from the macFUSE releases page
2. Open the .dmg and run the installer
3. You’ll likely be prompted to allow a System Extension in System Settings → Privacy & Security
4. Click “Allow” and restart your Mac into Recovery Mode if prompted

Step 4: Launch the App

Once installed:

• Open the app from your Applications folder
• You will be prompted to enter your Licence Key automatically
• You may be prompted to grant access to removable volumes or network locations — click Allow
