In their own words
CloudMounter
CloudMounter connects cloud storage and web services to a computer as local drives, so users can browse and manage remote files in Finder on macOS or Explorer on Windows. It supports services including Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, Amazon S3, WebDAV, SFTP, FTP, Box, Backblaze, MEGA, OpenStack Swift and pCloud. Files can be transferred between cloud services by dragging and dropping, without first downloading them to the computer. Remote files can also be worked with without using local storage.
The maker describes client-side AES-256 encryption before files are sent to cloud storage. On macOS, the FAQ says login details are held in Keychain rather than on CloudMounter’s servers. Offline work is supported on macOS and listed as coming soon for Windows. Windows Free permits full access to one Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive account after the 14-day PRO trial; additional accounts and services are read-only. Mac yearly subscriptions have a 7-day trial. Mac and Windows Team licenses are separate and cannot be shared across platforms.
Infortrend EonCloud Gateway
Infortrend EonCloud Gateway connects local storage with cloud services for data migration, caching, backup, and tiering. It supports five workflows: cloud file cache, cloud file sync, cloud volume replication, cloud archiving storage, and cloud tiering. File- and block-level transfers can use protocols including NFS, CIFS, iSCSI, Fibre Channel, FTP, and Rsync. Listed cloud targets include Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, Alibaba Cloud, Google Cloud, OpenStack, Baidu Cloud, Tencent Cloud, Wasabi, Yandex Object Storage, hiCloud, HCP, and Backblaze Cloud. Cache policies range from high-priority and local-only settings to rules that prevent caching on reads or writes. Infortrend says the gateway uses a unique key for data encryption and SSL for cloud transmissions; compression and deduplication reduce data size. Reports cover cloud connection status, network transfer, local access, and cache use. The hybrid product is self-hosted and intended for enterprises. It requires at least 8GB of system memory. Pricing is on request, with a 90-day trial and no free plan; license upgrades depend on the purchased storage model.
