Air Live Drive vs WebDAV Manager

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.

WebDAV Manager is a native WebDAV client for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision. It connects to servers over HTTP or HTTPS using Basic or Digest authentication. You can save multiple server profiles with separate URLs, ports, credentials, and settings, then browse folders, create folders, upload, download, share, or delete files. The app previews text, PDFs, images, and videos, and shows thumbnails in file lists. Connections can be configured by pasting a complete server URL or entering fields individually. The maker says credentials, server URLs, and files remain on the device and move only between it and the configured WebDAV server; the app collects no personal data or sends data to its own servers. The free app is listed at free and 2 MB. Requirements include iOS or iPadOS 16, macOS 13 on Apple M1 or later, or visionOS 1.
