Visit Mountain Duck

Mountain Duck mounts server and cloud storage as a disk in Finder on macOS and File Explorer on Windows, letting users open remote files with any application and work as if they were local. It runs in the status bar or system tray with sync progress, file history, and connection management, and is built on the open source Cyberduck foundation.

It supports FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, SMB, OpenStack Swift, Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Microsoft Azure, Backblaze B2, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, SharePoint, Box, and Nextcloud/ownCloud. Version 5 adds Integrated Connect Mode using File Provider (macOS) and Cloud Files (Windows), Smart Synchronization, Search via Spotlight and Windows Search, and an Activity panel. Features include offline selection, background uploads, notifications, file sharing with expiring links, file locking, versioning, custom versioning, and Cryptomator-compatible client-side encryption.

Mountain Duck is available for macOS and Windows, with a trial version and registration key purchase, plus alternate distribution through the Mac App Store and Windows Store. Installation does not require admin privileges.
