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.

This regional service is accessed over the internet through Oracle Console, CLI, API, or SDK. Storage tiers include Standard, Infrequent Access, and Archive; Archive objects must be restored before reading, and the first byte can take up to an hour to retrieve.

Data is encrypted by default, with customer-provided keys, Vault keys, and client-side encryption also supported. Permissions can be set at object, bucket, and compartment levels through OCI Identity and Access Management. Oracle states that buckets can hold unlimited objects and an object can be up to 10 TiB. Infrequent Access is $0.01 a month per gigabyte of storage capacity, with retrieval at $0.01 per gigabyte retrieved per month and a 31-day minimum retention. The service is Always Free eligible; the Oracle Cloud Free Tier includes a US$300 credit for up to 30 days on eligible services.
