Network shares,
automatically mounted

Network Share Mounter connects SMB, AFP, and WebDAV shares automatically – at login, on network changes, without any manual interaction. With built-in Kerberos Ticket Management, authentication runs silently in the background. Configurable via MDM, enterprise-ready, and Open Source.

Release notes for Network Share Mounter

v4.1.5 2026-09-04

What’s new#

  • New MDM key disableDiagnostics lets administrators hide the “Diagnostics” section in Settings entirely

Fixed#

  • The automatically created Kerberos authentication profile now uses the display name configured via MDM (kerberosProfileDisplayName) instead of always being named “Standard Kerberos”
  • Shares that failed to get a Kerberos profile assigned right after a fresh MDM rollout no longer stay stuck requiring manual profile assignment — the app now retries automatically once the profile becomes available
  • Fixed a first-launch issue where, with a Kerberos realm already configured via MDM, two conflicting windows could appear at once (an empty “Add Profile” dialog together with the network credentials window); only the correct credentials window now appears
  • The optional “Change Password…” menu item is now positioned directly above “Preferences…” instead of at the very top of the menu, so it doesn’t compete with the mount/unmount actions
  • The password-change dialog no longer gets stuck showing a spinning indicator after the password change had already succeeded — it now closes automatically

Ready for smart network shares?

Network Share Mounter is developed by the Regional Computing Centre Erlangen (RRZE) and is 100% free and Open-Source.
