Community / support / Clicking the X closes/hides the main window but app still runs in taskbar

Also a warning before closing the app while a drive is mounted would be nice as well. Thanks!

Hi @hugh1988, thanks for reporting. Is that the macOS app? In principle macOS has issues closing itself if NFS mount is running. The temporary solution is to either use force exit or use macFUSE/FUSE-T mount as explained in our guide: https://docs.s3drive.app/install/#macos_1 We're working on improving this, but the ultimate solution is that macOS native integration with Finder, skipping the NFS/FUSE layes altogether. https://s3drive.canny.io/feature-requests/p/macos-native-file-mount EDIT: I've now realized that you're probably using Windows based on your other support item. In which case it seems like app may not want to close if mount is performing any operations or e.g. file/folder is open without mount directory preventing mount from finishing gracefully. We will aim to add a relevant prompt ! (edited)

Ah sorry Tom, I didn't make that very clear this was a feature request rather than reporting a bug! It would be handy to be able to close s3Drive windo but still have the drive mounted, so any file transfers copying dont get interrupted if the window is closed. But perhaps just a warning that there is a drive mounted before quitting would be enough. Thanks

Thanks. I understand now. The best option is to use: "Hide" from the tray icon and not to misclick the X. We plan to modify X behaviour so app actually minimizes its window and moves to tray instead of quitting. If user wanted to quite the app they would have to do it explicitly by a quit option from an app or tray icon. Would that work for you?

Sorry to jump in but i wanted to add that this is a great solution.
