Faster way to connect to the shared folder next time

If you are connecting to shared/remote folder often enough, you’d better make an alias for those drives and tick the “Remember this password on my keychain” so, the next time you want to access the drive, just click on the alias and you won’t be asked for your name and password.

Here is how:

  • Connect to the shared folder of your choice, enter name and password if it’s asked for, tick the “Remember this password on my keychain”
  • Navigate to the folder you want to access next time
  • Make an alias by holding the Option + Command and drag  it to your sidebar
  • Rename the alias if you want to

Next time you want to access the remote drive, just click the shortcut on the sidebar.
