# Using the ExpanDrive Status Menu

The Status Menu is used to open the Drive Manager or the Preferences Window. It also displays the the current state of drives (whether or not they are connected), and can be used as a shortcut to connect drives.

The status of drives is show under the “Recent” heading in the Status Menu. Drives have a red button next to them if they are not currently connected, a green button if they are currently connected, and a yellow button if they are in the process of connecting. You can connect a drive by selecting it from the “Recent” sub-menu.

Optionally, in the Preferences menu you can configure your Recent drives to be displayed “in line”, rather than as a sub-menu. This makes it a little quicker to connect to drives, and see what drives are connected, but it might get unwieldy if you have a lot of drives.
