What CloudMounter is
CloudMounter mounts cloud storage accounts and web services as local drives, so you can browse and manage remote files through Finder on macOS or Explorer on Windows. It supports services including Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Amazon S3, WebDAV, SFTP, FTP, Box, Backblaze, MEGA, OpenStack Swift, and pCloud. You can move files between cloud services by dragging and dropping without downloading them to your computer, or work with remote files without using local storage. The maker describes client-side AES-256 encryption before files are sent to storage; on macOS, login details are kept in Keychain rather than on CloudMounter’s servers. Offline work is supported on macOS and listed as coming soon for Windows. The 7-day Mac trial applies to yearly subscriptions; Windows offers a 14-day PRO trial before its free version’s account limits apply.
