External drives
External drives require no setup — plug one in and Tusk detects it automatically. Tusk also remembers what's on a drive even after you unplug it.
1
Plug in your drive
Connect your external drive to your Mac. Tusk detects any drive that macOS can read — SSDs, HDDs, USB sticks, SD cards mounted as volumes, and NAS shares mounted as network drives.
2
Add it as a destination
When creating or editing a project, your connected drives appear in the destination picker. Select the drive and confirm. Tusk starts syncing to it immediately.
3
Unplug freely
When you disconnect the drive, Tusk notes the time and pauses syncing to that destination. The file table still shows the last known status for every file on that drive — you always know what was on it when it was last connected.
4
Reconnect and resume
Plug the drive back in and Tusk automatically resumes syncing any changes that happened while it was disconnected. No manual action needed.
Drive labels matter
Tusk identifies drives by their volume name. If you have multiple drives with the same name, rename them in Finder (right-click → Rename) before adding them to Tusk to avoid confusion.
