Brault Desktop for Mac needs macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later. Finder integration is built on Apple's File Provider system, which is why that version is the minimum, on an older Mac the app won't open.
What you'll see after signing in
Once you're signed in, every Brault workspace, folder, and file you have access to shows up in the Finder under Locations. Files start out cloud-only and download the moment you open them, so you see everything without storing all of it locally. A Brault icon appears in your menu bar with a compact panel for sync status, recent transfers, and quick actions.
How updates work
Brault Desktop for Mac updates itself automatically in the background, so you never need to redownload the disk image for a new version. Updates install silently by default; if a transfer or sync is actively running when one becomes available, the app waits and prompts you instead of interrupting it.
