Now with USB Network Gate, I can have this gameboard plugged in and just connect to it from within Windows 10 without having to physically mess around with the USB plug. So when I launch VMware Windows 10 on the Mac, I usually need to manually unplug and replug this device so I can use it inside VMware Windows 10.

I use Logitech's programmable G13 gameboard with application-specific custom shortcuts across both Mac and Windows. I have VMware running Windows 10 on my Macs to be able to run some windows-only software. Once again, the connection was quick and the mouse worked smoothly without any hiccups. Purely for testing purposes, I shared this mouse and connected to it with the Lenovo Miix 2 Windows PC. I have a spare Monoprice (generic) USB mouse connected to my Mac Pro just as a backup. Both these drives appear on the Client computers as being directly connected to their respective USB ports, just as USB Network Gate promises. These connected quickly and without any issues. I mainly needed to access the Samsung HD and the PNY Flash drive (which are connected to the Mac Pro) with the Macbook Pro and the Lenovo Miix 2 Windows PC. Samsung D3 Station 4TB USB 3.0 External Hard drive (3) Mac Pro || Windows 10 running on VMware on the same Macġ. I tested USB Network Gate across the following operating systems: I found the app itself to be very straightforward to use: on the Host side, click on the 'Share' button next to the device I want to share and on the Client side, click on the 'Connect' button next to that same device. So no more un-plugging, re-plugging and physically moving around the hard drives-saving a great amount time and effort. USB Network Gate provides a unique solution to this problem: It lets me leave all my hard drives connected to a single computer with USB Network Gate installed and easily access them from any other computer that also has USB Network Gate installed.

However, this process can quickly get inconvenient and burdensome when it needs to be done several times a day, especially with desktop hard drives that also have a power supply cord.

This can work fine for occasionally doing so with small, portable hard drives that are powered by the same USB cable that transfers the data. To use the same hard drives across multiple computers, I was using the traditional method of unplugging each drive from one computer and plugging it into another computer. In my particular case, I needed to have access to multiple hard drives across several mac and windows computers and also be able to share input devices among them. USB Network Gate is an interesting and unique solution to many problems. However, I kept my review as objective as possible.
