NetDrive vs TotalMounter

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.

TotalMounter is a free Windows utility combining virtual CD/DVD drives, virtual disk mounting, and iSCSI initiator functions. It mounts ISO, CDI, BIN, MDS, MDF, IMG, RAW, CCD, and NRG images. Its virtual CD/DVD burner can write data to an ISO file through CD/DVD burning software. TotalMounter creates and mounts IMG and VHD virtual disks, with AES 256-bit encryption listed for virtual disks. The built-in iSCSI initiator connects to CHAP-protected targets, including those created by iStorage Server, and the program can act as an INetDisk client. Virtual Write allows copying files into a read-only drive without affecting other clients. Up to eight virtual drives are supported. The free edition includes a basic GUI, virtual optical drives, encrypted virtual disks, iSCSI disks, an INetDisk client, and forum support. Listed systems include 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7, and Server 2008. Ethernet is required for INetDisk and iSCSI mounting.
