Hivenet is missing from Finder on Mac

Show the Finder sidebar, try the Hivenet folder control, and record any connection or folder error.

If Hivenet is missing from Finder, check the sidebar and the installed Hivenet app. A missing Finder entry alone does not tell you whether your files are available in Store.

Check the Finder sidebar

  1. Open Finder.

  2. If the sidebar is hidden, choose View > Show Sidebar. You can also press Control-Command-S.

  3. Expand Locations using its arrow, then look for Hivenet.

  4. If Hivenet appears, select it and note whether the folder opens or shows an error.

Try opening the folder from Hivenet

  1. Open Hivenet from Applications, if it is installed.

  2. Check for a connecting message or another error.

  3. If the app offers Hivenet folder in Store, select it. You may instead see Open Hivenet folder on Home.

  4. Note whether Finder opens the Hivenet folder, and check Locations again.

If the folder opens from the app but its sidebar entry is still missing, report that difference. If the entry appears and opens, the visibility check has worked. An opened folder or listed file does not by itself confirm that every file is available to open.

If the folder is still missing or will not open

Contact Hivenet Support with your macOS and Hivenet versions, whether the app opens, whether its folder button is available, and what happened when you selected it. Include the exact Finder or app error, hiding personal details in screenshots.

If you see an extension, permission, storage-location or account warning, record its wording before changing anything. Do not move the Hivenet folder, choose another account's folder, delete app components, or change extension settings to restore a sidebar entry.

If Support asks for logs, ask for instructions for your app version. If its Support screen is unavailable, include this in your request.

Keep working sessions and any file copies you can still use. Do not delete Hivenet folders or reinstall the app while file access is unresolved.
