Mountain Duck allows users to mount both server and cloud storage as drives within Finder on macOS and File Explorer on Windows, enabling visibility of all files stored remotely, irrespective of local synchronization. When a file is accessed, it is synchronized to the local disk, thus facilitating offline access. Users have the option to designate specific files and folders for permanent offline availability on their devices, while other items are only downloaded and stored temporarily when needed, conserving local disk space. Cyberduck serves as a free server and cloud storage browser compatible with both Mac and Windows, supporting a variety of protocols including FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, Amazon S3, OpenStack Swift, Backblaze B2, Microsoft Azure, OneDrive, Google Drive, and Dropbox.

Additionally, it features connection profiles for many popular hosting providers, and incorporates client-side encryption using Cryptomator interoperable vaults, ensuring that your data remains secure across all servers and cloud platforms. With its extensive capabilities, you can streamline your workflow while maintaining control over your files and their security.
