CloudMounter 4.18 — macOS

You use a handful of cloud services—Google Drive, Dropbox, maybe a company OneDrive or an SFTP server. Switching between their web interfaces or separate sync apps gets old. CloudMounter solves that by mounting each account as a local volume in Finder. Version 4.18, released June 18, 2026, refines the core job without changing the workflow you already know.

Mount cloud storage as local drives

Add a Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Amazon S3, FTP, SFTP, or a dozen other services in one window. Each appears in the Finder sidebar like any external disk. You drag, copy, and open files normally. No extra sync folders, no waiting for local copies.

Encrypt and monitor transfers

Data moving through CloudMounter can be encrypted with AES-256. Status icons next to each connection show transfer progress, uploads, and updates. You see what is happening without opening a separate manager.

Work with multiple accounts

The app supports several cloud accounts at once. You can mount a personal Google Drive alongside a work OneDrive and a client's FTP server in the same Finder window. Version 4.18 keeps that unchanged while fixing download cancellation on SFTP and storage usage display for online connections.

Adjusting accounts in Preferences first

After launching CloudMounter 4.18 for the first time, a few adjustments make the daily experience more predictable. Open Preferences and look at the Accounts section first. That is where you add each cloud service or remote server connection. Enter credentials once and the app remembers them.

The General tab has a setting for launching CloudMounter at login. On an office machine that mounts the same drives every morning, turning that on saves a step. You can also set a cache volume for temporary file data. If you move between a desk iMac and a laptop, point that to a consistent location—otherwise the app resets the cache path on each machine.

For anyone managing FTP or SFTP connections, the Encryption section in each account's settings lets you enable AES-256 per connection. Useful when you transfer files to a client's server and want the data protected before it leaves your Mac.

Real-world scenario: freelance photographer with mixed storage

A photographer I know keeps finished work on a personal Google Drive, raw files on an Amazon S3 bucket, and delivers proofs to clients through an SFTP server. Before CloudMounter, that meant three browser tabs, two sync folders, and a dedicated FTP client. She spent more time switching between apps than finding the files.

With CloudMounter, she added her Google Drive, the S3 bucket, and the SFTP server under one app. Each appears in Finder as a separate volume. She drags finished JPEGs from Drive to the SFTP folder for delivery, and moves raw originals from S3 into her working folder on the local disk. Status icons show when transfers finish. No browser logins, no sync delays, no extra applications.

Status icons that show active transfers

CloudMounter has a few details that are not obvious until you use the app for a while. The status icons next to each connection change during transfer, upload, move, and update operations. A glance at the sidebar tells you if a file finished copying or is still in progress.

Multiple accounts of the same service work without conflict. You can mount two separate Dropbox accounts—a personal one and a shared work folder—and see them as distinct drives. The same applies to Google Drive, OneDrive, or any supported service.

The app does not sync files to local disk automatically. That means your local storage stays uncluttered. If you open a file from a mounted drive, CloudMounter streams it directly. Close the file and nothing remains on your Mac unless you explicitly copy it over.

For users who work across several languages, the interface supports English, Russian, German, Spanish, Italian, French, Czech, and others. Switching the language in Preferences re-labels every panel immediately.
