   Works well in general, many supported cloud services

   It's able to mount a cloud / network services as a drive and works seamlessly with your operating system. Found it a bit slow compared to the native software for a cloud service like Google Drive File Stream. Also include native support for Cryptomator encrypted volumes.

   🏁 Competitors: Drive File Stream by Google, Rclone

   👍 Pros:    Offline|End to end encrypted|Encryption|Smart synchronization (cache)

   👎 Cons:    Slow|A little buggy

• Ask HN: What are some good resources for learning about low level disk/file IO?

  I lead a project that included shipping a filesystem driver and a virtual disk on Windows. What I did to learn the lower-level APIs, and perform initial testing on the driver, was write a "mirror" drive. The user-mode code pointed to a folder on disk, the driver made a virtual disk drive, and all reads and writes in the virtual disk drive went to the mirror folder. On Windows, you can implement something like that... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Software to organize files by multiple categories?

  I've day dreamed about having a tag based file system where a file path (URI) in which each segment is a tag. So path /image/red is the same as /red/image. File extensions would be part of the tags too. Been a while since I looked at my notes, but I think I originally was thinking of searching /red would show all files that have that tag ranked. File system base is nice because then the custom system works for... Source: almost 3 years ago

• Ask HN: Is iCloud a viable alternative to Dropbox? Any other alternatives?

  Is Mountain Duck (https://mountainduck.io) still viable for this sort of thing? I use Dropbox, iCloud and GDrive but, it's inconsistent and a bit fractured. I've never looked into consolidation seriously. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• RcloneBrowser: Simple cross platform GUI for rclone

  I've had a good experience with CyberDuck too. Recently I learned they also have MountainDuck for mounting remote storage: https://mountainduck.io/ I'm still excited to learn more about Rclone since it looks like a great way to sync the data across different cloud provider. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Recommendation for file-streaming (folder sync) for Unraid?

  Edit: The more I try to Google this, the more it seems like it's more of a Mac software question than it's something I could easily enable by way of a docker-hosted solution. Something like Mountain Duck might do the trick. But I'll hold out a bit to see if anyone has a suggestion before I buy one of their $50 licenses. Source: 9 months ago

• Backblaze Product and Pricing Updates

  Not open source, but I had my work buy me a license for: https://mountainduck.io/ and I quite like it. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Best secure and encrypted cloud service?

  For a secure cloud storage setup, I use Cryptomator, accessible at https://cryptomator.org/, on my Android device, and Mountain Duck, available at https://mountainduck.io/, on my desktop. This configuration enables me to choose my own storage provider on a pay-as-you-go basis. My preferred storage provider is S3, mainly because it facilitates easy backup of cloud files on my NAS or via tools such as WinSCP, which... Source: 12 months ago
