Automatically display drives in your OS X Dock or Menu

Share

Using the small and free app Volumizer, you can have your hard drives (internal, external, flash etc) and DVD/CD drives displayed in your Dock or Menu. Keep reading for brief usage instructions and more screenshots.


Please note: Volumizer is no longer in development and does not work in modern versions of macOS. However, it is still available to download and does work with macOS/OS X Versions 10.14 (“Mojave”) and earlier

  1. To get started, download and unzip Volumizer. Double-click Volumizer.prefPane to install it to your System Preferences. Select it from there.
  2. There aren’t a lot of options – you can have your drives (Volumes) displayed in the Dock, System Menu, or both.
  3. Now you drives will appear in your Dock and/or Menu. Note: external drives won’t be displayed until they’re plugged in, and CD/DVD drives won’t be displayed unless you have a disc inserted.

  4. Volumizer in the System Menu
