It connects to popular platforms like Google Drive, Dropbox, and Amazon S3, enabling users to manage their online files directly from the Finder. The app's key feature is its ability to consolidate multiple cloud storage accounts in one location. Users can move and organize files between different cloud services without switching between apps. CloudMounter also integrates with Finder, allowing users to interact with cloud files as if they were stored locally. Additionally, the app offers AES-256 encryption to protect users' cloud-stored files. Another aspect of CloudMounter is its offline capabilities. Users can access necessary files even without an internet connection, ensuring productivity is not disrupted.

With a few clicks cloud mounter does this meaning i can access my files from anywhere in the world from a central location and do have to login to any browser just to access my files. As an IT specialist it makes it easy as workers from the company even when they go home will still access the server files right from their computer as though they are still at the office. > > **Cons**: The only downfall with cloud mounter is it does not have a phone application, but this can be overcome by using the app of the cloud service i use, in my case the mega and Dropbox app. > > This has so far being the best solution i have ever used to mount my drive that has not let me down, it is simple to use and does exactly what its name implies and mounts my cloud storage in my computer as any other network drive would. ----- ### "CloudMounter: easily access your cloud storage" — 4.0/5 > **Carlos** | *14 August 2020* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: For me, the main advantages of CloudMounter are: 1. It replaces all individual cloud storage clients. Instead of having to install each software from Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive and other vendors, I just need to install CloudMounter, and it gives me access to all those cloud storage accounts. 2. It unifies all the cloud-stored files and folders. CloudMounter puts all my files and folders from the cloud right inside the file manager; there's no need to deal with different configurations from each cloud storage vendor. 3. It uses less computer resources (memory and disc space). Since it's only one software running (instead of a different software for each cloud storage vendor), CloudMounter uses just a fraction of the memory and disc space all those individual programs would use. 4. It synchronises only the files that I need to my computer. Instead of immediately downloading all my files and folders, CloudMounter only gets the ones that I need to work on; the others stay in the cloud, waiting for the moment I'll need them. That saves a lot of disc space. 5. It uses native macOS technologies. CloudMounter works immediately after installation, unlike other similar alternatives that require external "helper" programs. > > **Cons**: In my opinion, CloudMounter has two disadvantages: 1. If you add a lot of cloud storage accounts, CloudMounter may suffer from instability and unreliability. This also depends on things like your computer's specifications, the quality of your internet connection, among other factors. 2. Recently, the version of CloudMounter from the Mac App Store switched to a subscription-based pricing model, which may not seem attractive to a lot of potential users (specially when compared to similar alternatives offered in the App Store). > > CloudMounter allows me to access all files and folders I have in my cloud storage accounts (e.g. Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, and others), directly from my computer's file manager. It even helps to save space in my computer, since it downloads only the files and folders I need to work on at any given moment. ----- ### "Mount cloud any cloud location like a local folder" — 3.0/5 > **Alex** | *19 April 2020* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use CloudMounter because I use onedrive and the official mac client for onedrive from Microsoft is a joke. It loses information on syncing, doubles files either locally or on the cloud, etc. CloudMounter does exactly what I need. It mounts onedrive location locally and lets me copy whatever I want from local folders to onedrive. However it doesn't automatically sync, which for me is fine. > > **Cons**: I sometimes run into an issue when certain onedrive for business locations simply don't mount, despite giving all permissions and settings. I talked to customer service at eltima, they offered some suggestion but didn't work. So I just have to log in online to those onedrive locations and manually upload/download the files I need. I had no issues with other cloud providers except Microsoft. ----- ### "Seamless Cloud Mounter Files" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *18 February 2020* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best part about this software is that the files act as thought their locally on your computer's hard drive. That means they're updated in real time to the cloud file system you use without having to download and upload. > > **Cons**: There is absolutely nothing I dislike about this software. It gives me peace of mind knowing if something happened to my computer, I wouldn't have to worry about any files. > > I used CloudMounter to mount my AWS S3 cloud files on my computer as if they were locally on my hard drive. This allows me to view and update files without the hassle of downloading and reuploading files. I can then access these files from any device with an Internet connection. ----- ### "Finishing my dissertation on time, only thanks to simplicity of CloudMounter." — 5.0/5 > **Joel** | *15 December 2019* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really loved the simplicity with which any newbie can get into using the software. I must also mention the encryption feature which can be very useful at times. The trial version saved our project and I subbed to the full version ASAP after that\! > > **Cons**: Short duration of free trial. Even though it helped me and my team a lot. The trial version - I felt - could've lasted a bit longer than the current number of days. Other than that. No cons. CHEERS. > > It was a few months back. The deadline was closing in. Unfortunately I was out of station on another important matters to attend to. My dissertation was a mess and had to log in to cloud through the browser to get my part of the work shared to my teammates. Me and my teammates found fighting with time when there was issues with each other's parts and the dissertation kept bouncing off each other's laptop. Time was running out as well. Too much time went on for the logging in and the browser searches. Then on a fine and fortunate day, my friend from the tech engineering told me about this in a normal geek conversation and something nudged my mind to try it out. Oh boy, wasn't I right in that choice. Things got WAY easier than before. We saved up hella lot of time (mind the language) and got the dissertation done in the nick of time. All thanks to CloudMounter. It was a life safer (\*THUMBS UP\* \<3 ) CHEERS ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/470220/CloudMounter?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/470220/CloudMounter) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
