How to Mount your Server as a Local HDD

Reviews

    Lots of bugs & permanently annoying Updates (Of cours everytime with a reboot)
  2.  
    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

  • 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 / 3 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: 7 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 / 8 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: 10 months ago
  • Google Drive like client for S3?
    Cyberduck had one like that - for Mac tho. Mountain duck https://mountainduck.io. Source: 12 months ago
  • "Legacy" Products---Annoying
    I still have Google Drive running on Macs with High Sierra & Mojave. Yes G-drive reports with regular pop-ups that it is unsupported but it seems to work fine for me. I would guess that if not already installed you wouldn’t be able to download the G-drive installer on Mojave Mac. An alternative is to use a third party app like Mountain Drive, which I bought into sometime back. That enables access to. Multiple... Source: about 1 year ago
  • Best cloud sync software for media production?
    StableBit CloudDrive is a mature software from an established company. That way you aren't locked into any cloud storage provider. People mount the cloud storage like a local hard drive so it is easy to use. Mountain Duck is similar for Mac. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Mountpoint – file client for S3 written in Rust, from AWS
    > Later I used Panic's Transmit Disk but they removed the feature. BTW, Panic seemingly intends to re-build Transmit Disk. Hopefully it'll be part of Transmit 6: https://help.panic.com/transmit/transmit5/transmit-disk/#technical-details-and-the-future-of-transmit-disk A supported macOS option appears to be Mountain Duck: https://mountainduck.io/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
  • Are there any good cloud alternatives to mega? I use it for storage but would like to see if there is anything better.
    Another DIY option is to use a S3 storage provider like Backblaze or Wasabi, and then use something like https://mountainduck.io/ to access it. Or you can self-host Nextcloud and use the S3 for the storage backend (link). Source: about 1 year ago
  • AWS Usage scenario for professional photography - Is this possible?
    On the software side, look into Mountain Duck. It should be able to do what you're describing, supporting S3 and a number of other storage providers (e.g. Backblaze B2). Source: over 1 year ago
  • Google drive alternative that’s not nextcloud?
    Unrelated to above: there are plenty of options to mount cloud storage out there, but Mountain Duck rocks. (Note: it needs a paid but cheap license). Source: over 1 year ago
  • New to Cryptomator and Cloud Encryption, would appreciate some help
    For Cryptomator you also can use Mountain Duck https://mountainduck.io or CyberDuck https://cyberduck.io to make a direct connection with Dropbox. Source: over 1 year ago
  • koofr and mountainduck
    I want to be able to use Koofr to access files which are not permanently kept locally; apparently Koofr allows this via the Network drive (webdav) functionality. Googling I discovered I should be able to do this using either rclone or mountainduck. I'd prefer not using rclone, as I like having a GUI. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Is S3 MinIO a reliable cross platform sharing service?
    After hiding long under a rock (called samba and Nextcloud), I recently came across the option of using S3 MinIO. In fact it's Mountain Duck that got me considering S3, when I was searching for a way to have offline files on a MacBook. Source: over 1 year ago
  • I need to get cloud storage, torn between two providers.
    I‘m using it with https://mountainduck.io and it works Great! Cryptomator is included! Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Best way to mount google drive on Windows.
    So far, I've been very happy with Mountain Duck (https://mountainduck.io/), and it's free to use version, CyberDuck (https://cyberduck.io/), which I felt it was worth paying for a license for Mountain Duck. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Sync only?
    The already mentioned Cyberduck app is one solution. I’m using Mountain Duck by the same duck-loving developer to integrate the resources directly into Finder. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Mapped drive and grey hair
    You could use the koofr app with a Dedicated Synced folder or try https://mountainduck.io/. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Can I use ProtonDrive to integrate with my devices for backups and other syncing (Will there ever be a public API)
    It would be cool if there's a way to integrate with third-party apps like Mountain Duck and such. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Privacy Friendly Cloud Storage
    I’d suggest using mountain duck for this, let’s you mount multiple cloud storages in explorer, using the built in profiles or their webdav address, also has cryptomator built in which is convenient. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • How to download effectively from Google Shared Drives
    I use MountainDuck. There is an option for permanent mounting. Source: almost 2 years ago
