NetDrive vs VHD Attach

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.

VHD Attach is a free Windows utility for attaching and detaching virtual disks. It adds Attach and Detach choices to the right-click menu for VHD files, and options can add a Detach choice to the hard-drive context menu. The program can attach virtual disks automatically when the system starts in full-access or read-only mode, and it can display disk information without attaching the disk. It supports Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and later, including Windows 10; older systems such as Windows Vista are not supported. On Windows 8 and Windows Server 8, it can also be used with ISO images and VHDX disks. Command-line parameters include /attach, /detach and /detachdrive. The source repository is published under the MIT License. A VHD stored at a network location may require a change to the service account so it can access that location. Automatic attachment of a BitLocker-enabled drive does not show its password prompt because mounting starts before the user interface appears.
