Mountain Duck appears to be reliable and the Finder integration turns Finder into a fully-functional SFTP client - this is no easy feature and I’ve not yet found anything that actually works, all the time - Expandrive, Transmit, oDrive, SSHFS, Cloud Mounter, etc. All fall on their face fairly early on. I spend a lot of time on remote hosts editing files and this really helps; thanks! Mountain Duck 4.2.3. 01 October 2020. Mount server and cloud storage as a local disk. Follow this app Developer website. Mountain Duck, based on the solid open-source foundation of Cyberduck, allows you to mount remote volumes in Finder on OS X and File Explorer on Windows. Access remote files as if they were on a local disk, and edit.
We are thrilled to release a public beta of upcoming Mountain Duck 3. The new version is a major milestone in our development timeline. Bridging the gap between online only access with no use of local disk space in Mountain Duck 2 and the new smart synchronization feature in Mountain Duck 3 with much improved performance accessing files is the main focus.
Think of it like Dropbox for any server and cloud storage but with the option to choose which files and folders are available for offline use while others do not take up disk space on your computer.
Smart Synchronization for Offline Usage
The smart synchronization feature allows to make files available offline. You can also choose to make explicitly all or only selected files and folders available for offline use. Changes to files are saved in a local cache first and uploaded in the background as soon as a connection is available.
Badge icons in the Finder and Windows Explorer indicate the status of files – which indicates if the file is only available when online or is synced to your computer for offline editing. Regardless of the status, you will always see all your files!
Synchronization with the remote storage is paused and resumed automatically depending on your network connection but can also be paused by the user manually. You will see a blinking duck icon in your system tray when a background transfer is currently in progress.
Documentation
Updated documentation for the new smart synchronization feature can be found in our wiki.
