I'm then accessing this network drive over WiFi. the short, square kind that you could buy before the most recent taller variety came out last year), with a LaCie 3 TB USB 3.0 external drive plugged into the USB port of the Time Capsule.
I'm running OS X Mavericks, and the setup I have is with a previous generation Time Capsule (i.e. This was the same whether I had "Show Connected Servers" checked or not. I could not add the shard disk itself to the sidebar – either to the devices, favorites, or any other section, and I could only add a subfolder of the shared disk to the favorites section – not to the devices section or any other section).
I was able to move a sub-folder of a shared disk to the Favorites section of the Finder Sidebar, but nothing else. Interestingly, in my experience, using the method described above of unchecking the "Show Connected Servers" box in the Finder Preferences makes no difference in what I can put in the sidebar. Showing the "Shared" server is not the same as showing the actual mapped end point. Please don't suggest going into Finder's preferences and changing options in there, as there's no option that controls whether network drives are shown in the sidebar. If anyone know of a hidden preference to change this behaviour and map mapped network drives show directly in Finder, please share. This is a huge flaw in Finder's interface. This is not by any means ideal, and doesn't help me when I'm browsing directories in a save/open dialog. I've got a hot-corner assigned to show the desktop, so I can go to the hotcorner, then find the mapped network drive on the desktop. The only work around for the moment is that mapped network drives show on the desktop. Even in the ideal case, where you can mapped a root-level share, it takes two clicks to get to it, instead of just one click if the mapped drive was shown under "Devices" or otherwise, directly. In both of those scenarios (and I'm sure there are others), you cannot access the mapped folder under the "Shared" heading in the Finder sidebar. The network drive you mounted is a subdirectory of a share, not a root share.The problem with this is that it's useless if: It only shows servers (under the "Shared" heading) that you have mapped drives on. The problem is simple: Finder does not show maps network drives in the sidebar. Ok, this is pretty frustrating, and I'm only hoping that there's a hidden preference in some plist file that can fix this.
