Air Live Drive vs Cadaver

Air Live Drive mounts cloud storage as local drives, so files can be opened, edited, and saved through Explorer or Finder without full synchronization. It connects to personal, business, and infrastructure storage, including Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, iCloud, SharePoint Online, S3, FTP, FTPS, SFTP, and WebDAV. Optional local caching can speed repeated access, while the product streams files rather than duplicating large amounts of data locally. Depending on the provider, supported cloud audio and video can play without a full local copy. Windows users can enable background uploads and view progress in a transfer list. Pro adds startup and administrator passwords, drive export and import, and unlimited drives; the Windows version also supports command-line mount, unmount, refresh, and cache operations for scripts. Basic allows one drive per cloud provider and three drives total. The 1 Year plan costs $17 a year, and Pro Lifetime costs $25, paid once; both are licensed per device. Air Live Drive is available for Windows and macOS.

Cadaver is a command-line WebDAV client for Unix systems. It manages files and collections from a terminal, with commands for uploading, downloading, displaying, moving and copying resources. You can create or delete collections, lock resources, edit files in place and manipulate properties. Release 0.28, dated 18 September 2025, added the `resumeget` and `head` commands; editing uses conditional PUT where possible to reduce conflicts. Cadaver is free software under GPL-2.0, with a free plan priced at free and no trial. The official site names Joe Orton as publisher and links to a discussion forum and GitHub bug reports. Building from source uses git clone, autogen.sh, configure and make. Neon 0.29.x or later is required, while non-UTF-8 native locales require iconv or libiconv. WebDAV class 1 support is required unless tolerant mode is used.
