Mount and unmount your projects

Mounting connects a project to Sequence Shuttle so it shows up as a local drive (a volume that appears in Finder like any other disk) — open it and work with its files the same way you would any folder on your Mac. You can mount a project from inside Shuttle itself, or with one click from a project's page in Sequence, and unmount it again when you're done.

Mount a project from the menu bar#

  1. Click the Shuttle icon in the menu bar to open its dropdown.
  2. Open the Mount A Project submenu, which lists every project in your current workspace.
  3. Click the name of a project that doesn't already show a checkmark.

Shuttle mounts the project as a local drive at /Volumes/SequenceProjects/, in a folder named after the project. A checkmark appears next to the project in the menu, and Finder shows the folder like any other drive on your Mac.

Mount a project from Sequence#

  1. In Sequence, open the project you want to work with.
  2. Go to the project's Overview page.
  3. Click Mount with Shuttle.

Sequence hands the project off to Shuttle, which mounts it the same way as choosing it from the menu bar — the project appears mounted in Shuttle, with its folder ready in Finder at /Volumes/SequenceProjects/.

Note

If Shuttle isn't running on your Mac, nothing appears to happen at first — after about two seconds, Sequence assumes Shuttle isn't installed and takes you to the download page instead.

Note

If a project won't mount, macOS may need permission to run a background helper that Shuttle uses to connect drives. See Troubleshoot Shuttle and keep it updated.

Unmount a project#

  1. Click the Shuttle icon in the menu bar.
  2. Open the Mount A Project submenu.
  3. Click the project that currently shows a checkmark.

Shuttle unmounts the drive, the checkmark disappears, and the project's folder is removed from under /Volumes/SequenceProjects/ in Finder.
