Connect to a Network Folder

How to open a shared folder on another computer or on a network drive.

Checked with Swift Salamander 0.8.184 on 8 October 2026.

A network folder is a shared folder on another computer or on a network drive. Swift Salamander lists these in the Network section of the sidebar.

  1. In the sidebar, click Network.
  2. Click the computer or drive you want. The app lists the ones it finds on your network.
  3. Sign in with the user name and password for the share.
  4. Pick the share you want. The app mounts it so you can open it.

If the list says No Devices Found, check that the computer or drive is turned on. Check that your Mac is on the same network.
