About:
Cloudmounter is a utility that securely mounts popular cloud storage services like Google Drive, Dropbox, and Amazon S3 as local network drives on macOS. This allows users to access and manage remote files directly through the Finder interface without syncing or consuming local disk space. It features strong encryption to ensure that your data remains private and secure during transfer and storage.
Key Features:
  • Mounts cloud services as local drives in Finder
  • Supports major providers: Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Amazon S3, FTP, SFTP, WebDAV
  • Client-side AES-256 encryption for enhanced security
  • No local storage required (streaming access)
  • Transparent integration with native macOS apps
Use Cases:
  • Accessing large cloud storage archives directly without full synchronization
  • Securely editing and saving files to cloud storage using local applications
  • Managing multiple cloud accounts through a single unified interface
Alternatives:
  • rclone – Command-line tool offering broader protocol support and scripting capabilities, but lacks native Finder integration.
  • FUSE for macOS – Framework for building custom file systems; requires more technical setup compared to Cloudmounter's GUI.
