Our verdict on CloudMounter

CloudMounter is a desktop application for macOS and Windows that mounts SFTP servers, cloud-storage accounts, and other remote services as local drives. It is aimed at users who want to browse, organize, open, edit, and transfer remote files through Finder or File Explorer rather than manage a separate synchronization folder. SFTP support includes OpenSSH, PPK, FIDO/FIDO2 keys, and 2FA, while supported connections also include FTP, FTPS, FTPES, WebDAV, and Amazon S3.

Pricing is freemium, with paid licensing differing by platform. On macOS, Personal — macOS annual costs $29 per year for 1 Mac and personal use, with a 7-day trial. Team — macOS annual costs $99 per year for 5 Macs and business and personal use, also with a 7-day trial. On Windows, Personal — Windows costs $29.99 one time for 1 PC, while Team — Windows costs $99.99 one time for 5 PCs. Windows also includes a 14-day Pro trial. These options make the product suitable for individual users and small teams, but the license limits matter when several devices need access.

Its strongest distinction is the combination of local-drive mounting and a wide integration set. CloudMounter connects with Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Amazon S3, Box, MEGA, Backblaze B2, pCloud, OpenStack Swift, FTP-family services, SFTP, and WebDAV. It can also transfer files between cloud services without downloading them locally first, and it provides AES-256 client-side encryption. Choose CloudMounter if your workflow spans SFTP and cloud storage across macOS or Windows. Choose a narrower SFTP client instead if automation is central or broader cloud connectivity is unnecessary.
