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.
Tiger Bridge
Tiger Bridge is hybrid data-management software for coordinating files across on-premises storage and cloud or other on-premises systems. It presents those locations as a unified namespace and applies user-defined rules to move less-accessed files to cloud, tape, or disk tiers. It can copy files to cloud storage and replace local copies with nearline stubs to reclaim space, and it offers real-time replication to remote sites. Retention controls and checksums support retention and file-integrity validation. The product supports Windows and hybrid deployment, with local caching and edge synchronization. Listed targets include Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage, Google Cloud Storage, IBM Cloud Object Storage, Huawei Cloud, Backblaze B2, Google Drive, LYVE Cloud, Wasabi, and S3-compatible storage. Scale Up, Flexi-Archive, and Collaborate each list a 200GB minimum commitment; monthly charges are based on the maximum managed capacity tracked in that month. A free 30-day trial is listed. Tiger Technology, which builds hybrid data products for businesses, was founded in 2003 and lists offices in Sofia, Alpharetta, Dubai, and London.
