Thanks!

Is there a plan to release a new Seafile Client soon to support macOS 11 as well?

The current sync client works on macOS 11.

Jonathan, could you add this info about the sync client to the compatability table at https://cloud.seatable.io/dtable/external-links/a85d4221e41344c19566/?tid=YzYy&vid=0000

Another proposal: This table should be featured on the downloads page. Right now, it is a bit hidden.

SeaDrive fails to start on Big Sur (11.0.1). Error message: “Failed to initialize: failed to install kernel driver”. Any idea how to debug or fix?

Are you sure you use SeaDrive 2.0.8?

Yup.

Same here . .

@linkx @AndreasK Can you post related error messages from seadrive-gui.log? There should be some error messages related to kext installation right after seadrive-gui starts.

Hi @linkx

Do you have other softwares that also use OSXFuse to run?

Hi @Jonathan,

Not to my knowledge. It was clean (USB) install and Seafile/Seadrive are among of the first apps that I installed.

You can use the following command to manually load the osxfuse, and then see if seadrive can work normally。

cd  /Library/Filesystems/osxfuse.fs/Contents/Extensions/11
sudo kextload   osxfuse.kext

That seems to fix it! I now got the approval request for allowing the driver

and after a reboot the error is gone with SeaDrive working perfectly again.

Thanks :pray:

HI @sun20121818 I have a user where this doesn’t help. Any other idea?

@Jonathan: On topic of SeaDrive’s context menu integration under Windows, I happened to find out that owncloud’s desktop client, which also uses Windows Cloud Files API, does just that:

This is the page where I found the screenshot: Virtual File System - ownCloud Maybe worth checking how they do it…

Hi @AndreasK @marcusm

We’ve fixed this (hopefully) in 2.0.9. Please download and try this one: https://download.seafile.com/f/762e2abe10174ed4991c/?dl=1

Thanks for the information. We’ll check.
