I really loved the simplicity with which any newbie can get into using the software. I must also mention the encryption feature which can be very useful at times. The trial version saved our project and I subbed to the full version ASAP after that!

CloudMounter allows me to access all files and folders I have in my cloud storage accounts (e.g. Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, and others), directly from my computer's file manager. It even helps to save space in my computer, since it downloads only the files and folders I need to work on at any given moment.

Highly recommend. I tried the similar tool, ExpanDrive, but it was never stable enough to use daily. CloudMounter, however, seems to be rock-solid by comparison. I’ve setup multiple sources and they mount on startup as they should, and using them like a local workspace feels snappy.
