Mounting distributed storage on the work area is smart with a couple of intrinsic impediments worked in. Transmission capacity is the chief concern, since even the speediest web associations that anyone could hope to find to purchasers aren't sufficiently to move gigabyte-hefty estimated records as quick as joining outside hard drives to your Mac. Nevertheless, applications like CloudMounter stay a beneficial utility on the off chance that you depend on distributed storage.
Bounty has changed since we checked on the first arrival of Eltima Software's promising CloudMounter in 2016. First of all, this cunning menu bar utility is presently allowed to download and utilize - as long as you can get by getting to a solitary Dropbox, Google Drive, or Microsoft OneDrive record, that is.
If you have any desire to get to various cloud accounts or different administrations like Amazon S3, FTP/SFTP, WebDAV, or Box, you really want to pay an extra expense. You can download CloudMounter from the Mac App Store, which has the limit notice above. Or on the other hand you can pay $9.99 at regular intervals or $29.99 every year for limitless associations. Not a terrible arrangement, but rather in the event that you're the outdated sort who would prefer to purchase once and own eternity (or possibly until the unavoidable variant 4.0 goes along) we'd suggest bypassing the Mac App Store and going directly to the Eltima site to buy an unending permit for $44.99. Eltima likewise offers a completely useful 15-day preliminary variant for the people who like to attempt prior to purchasing.
Interesting, beautiful volume symbols and simple menu bar access make CloudMounter a delight to use with most loved distributed storage administrations.
In the wake of introducing CloudMounter and signing into one of the previously mentioned accounts, your distant stockpiling shows up as a volume with a vivid symbol on the work area, which can be utilized to relocate records very much like neighborhood hard drives. How quick exchanges are made relies completely upon the speed of your web association. During testing, more modest documents act more dependably than bigger ones.
Eltima has done a quite a piece of work crushing starting bugs and upgrading by and large usefulness with ensuing deliveries. CloudMounter presently shows status symbols in the Finder so clients can see which documents are in the line, transferring/downloading, or had blunders during the exchange. (Everything being equal, the mistake symbol never showed up during our testing, a decent sign.)

Status symbols make it simple to see initially which records are as yet moving in Finder windows.
Rendition 3.2 additionally presents the element we've been longing by and large: Mounted cloud volumes currently consequently show up in the Finder sidebar like standard drives without being physically added. This is the sort of thing rival ExpanDrive has accomplished for a really long time and we don't know what took such a long time for Eltima to embrace the Finder, yet CloudMounter is a superior application for it.
ExpanDrive holds the advantage with regards to variety Amazon Cloud Drive keeps on being strikingly missing from CloudMounter's stockpiling setup, as are SMB/CIFS and ownCloud; additionally upheld in the previous are off in an unexpected direction cloud suppliers like DreamObjects and hubiC. Nonetheless, comforts like CloudMounter's capacity to choose a custom area for putting away store documents levels the battleground a tad.
Adding new records is an easy task, however there's still no Amazon Cloud Drive or SMB support.
Conclusion
It took a couple of renditions to arrive, yet CloudMounter can at long last be viewed as an advantageous competitor to ExpanDrive regarding unwavering quality and usefulness.
