# How to Browse Network Shares in ComfortFiles

ComfortFiles is a Windows Explorer-style file manager for macOS.

Network computers appear under **Network** in the ComfortFiles sidebar. Expand a computer to see its shared folders, click one, and browse it like any local folder — no detour through Finder.

<!-- TODO(owner): screenshot — Network node expanded, a computer's shares listed. -->

## Steps

1. Expand **Network** in the sidebar. Computers announcing themselves on your local network appear underneath.
2. Expand a computer to list its shares — the same list Finder would show.
3. Click a share to open it. If it needs credentials, a **Connect As…** dialog asks for them.

## Credentials

The Connect As dialog has a **"Remember this password"** option — check it and the next connection is silent. Passwords go to the macOS Keychain, not into app files.

## Good to know

- Shares behave like folders once connected: tabs, cut/paste, drag and drop, Quick Look — everything works.
- If the network is empty (no computers announcing themselves), the Network node simply shows nothing — it stops searching rather than spinning forever.
