Version 3.2 also introduces the feature we’ve been pining for most: Mounted cloud volumes now automatically appear in the Finder sidebar like regular drives without having to be manually added. Status icons make it easy to see at a glance which files are still transferring in Finder windows. (For what it’s worth, the error icon never appeared during our testing, a good sign.) IDG/J.R. CloudMounter now displays status icons in the Finder so users can see which files are in the queue, uploading/downloading, or had errors during the transfer. During testing, smaller files behave more reliably than larger ones.Įltima has done a bang-up job squashing initial bugs and enhancing overall functionality with subsequent releases. How fast transfers are made depends entirely on the speed of your internet connection. Unique, colorful volume icons and easy menu bar access make CloudMounter a joy to use with favorite cloud storage services.Īfter installing CloudMounter and logging into one of the aforementioned accounts, your remote storage appears as a volume with a colorful icon on the desktop, which can be used to drag and drop files just like local hard drives.
Eltima also offers a fully functional 15-day trial version for those who prefer to try before buying. Not a bad deal, but if you’re the old school type who would rather buy once and own forever (or at least until the inevitable version 4.0 comes along) we’d recommend bypassing the Mac App Store and heading straight to the Eltima website to purchase a perpetual license for $44.99. Or you can pay $9.99 every three months or $29.99 annually for unlimited connections. You can download CloudMounter from the Mac App Store, which has the limitation mention above. If you want to access multiple cloud accounts or other services like Amazon S3, FTP/SFTP, WebDAV, or Box, you need to pay an additional fee.
