In their own words
Air Live Drive
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.
NetDrive
NetDrive mounts remote storage so files can be accessed through Windows Explorer or macOS Finder like files stored on the computer. Its File Browser offers another way to manage remote files: users can open, download, rename, and delete them without mounting a drive. NetDrive 3 can upload files in the background, and file locking prevents other users from deleting, renaming, or overwriting locked files. Team maintainers can publish shared drives to members’ drive lists. Listed connections include Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, MEGA, Google Cloud Storage, Amazon S3, Azure, Backblaze B2, WebDAV, FTP, and SFTP. NetDrive lists Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS, though the download page lists Windows and macOS installers. Use requires a Bdrive account ID and an internet connection. One license supports one device at a time. Plans start at $3.90/mo, and a 7-day trial is available. NetDrive was founded in 2010 and is headquartered in Seoul, South Korea.
