Manage your Clouds Easily with CloudMounter!
Would you like to learn about a *Mac* application that can help you manage all your cloud-based storage drives and that is very easy to use because this might be very useful for you?

![Manage your Clouds Easily with CloudMounter!](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaMuM1eEQTEReJztizi6PtpzfDpSAemPekMzTP4FaizES/clouds.jpg)

I have been very frustrated lately trying to manage a *DropBox,* which is not synchronized with my *Mac* because if you have tried to move around files, rename them or just view them on the *Dropbox* website interface, then you will understand what I am talking about.

What I needed is an application that could connect with *DropBox,* the same way as *FTP* applications do, so I could manage files and directories on my computer.

## Manage your Clouds Easily with CloudMounter!

Today, I am very excited to show you an application that will help you a lot if you are using *DropBox* or other cloud-based storage like *OpenStack Swift, Amazon S3, WebDAV, Google Drive, Box, Microsoft OneDrive* or *Backblaze.*

This is a *Mac* application named *CloudMounter* and I guarantee that after you have tried it, you won't want to work without it: *https://cloudmounter.net*

I am not affiliated with them and it's a direct link.

First, you might want to watch their video that explains what you can do with it.

https://youtu.be/RvgoYZEJMpU

Secondly, this is their website.

![Manage your Clouds Easily with CloudMounter!](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVTyKL5qPXa9CXGgbu83SSNvEKmcqfCKAYCrjnjq5HzMA/CM01.png)

After trying a few other applications, I tried *CloudMounter* and not only it worked to set-up several *DropBox* accounts, but it was easy to do.

This is what they say about their awesome application.

> CloudMounter is a must-have tool for laptop users with low-capacity SSD-drives. You can easily mount most popular clouds as disks without having to download online files on the hard drive. As well as secure cloud files with data encryption. Choose one of your Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive accounts and manage them in Finder for free.

And that's all the clouds that you can mount as disks on your *Mac.* You can also connect via *FTP/SFTP/FTPS* if you have a server and you want to drop files in a particular folder like I do.

![Manage your Clouds Easily with CloudMounter!](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSaQqGJsYNFfJymAPPEWaZyqqeSU2kdpf35pTw7EpmodN/CM02.png)

This is something that we do not think about because when we use *DropBox,* we use it as backup and we synchronize our files on our *Mac* and other devices.

If you have a *Microsoft* and *Google* accounts, then you can get extra storage for free. This is useful if you want to store photos on the cloud, for example, and if your laptop has a small hard disk.

You can use extra free *DropBox* accounts, which will give you *2GB* of storage each, which you don't synchronize with your machine, extra *Google Drives* that will give you each *15 GB* of free storage, and *OneDrives* that will give you each *5 GB* of free storage. 

![Manage your Clouds Easily with CloudMounter!](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTjzRdyXkHXDgmZ9Yber45whGpMkf8fXafymEArQiRkHX/CM03.png)

This is just amazing and *CloudMounter* has *5-star* reviews based on *58+* reviews. They deserve it and now I understand why.

![Manage your Clouds Easily with CloudMounter!](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUDbB8EN9EfwKp2p3NvYuUknMPypGGft28qrZcjiPDuo9/CM04.png)

If you have a *PC* with *Windows*, then you are in luck, because they have just released a [*Windows* version](https://cloudmounter.net/mount-cloud-drive-win.html).

![Manage your Clouds Easily with CloudMounter!](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPjEEFWXjUtkJQqFmKgU58kZusT6x8oL79kmdwsf1GDnS/windows.png)

The only draw back is that it is not free, and I know some people will say, *"What? Not a freebie?"*

A license for one *Mac* is *$44.99* and it is well worth the cost because of the time it will save you and the extra drives you can connect to and that will give you free storage.

### How to use *CloudMounter*

When you create a new drive, you will see a window like this and you can click on one option to set it up.

You can see that I have *3 DropBox* accounts here, *OneDrive* and *Google Drive* accounts, and also a *FTP* account on my own server.

![Manage your Clouds Easily with CloudMounter!](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTsME2xwUryYYQWiVpAS9hQZbG6MRNydCdrcMvZySaemy/DB02.png)

Connecting *DropBox* is easy, just click the button and you will see this screen. Then, you have to sign in with *DropBox* and you are good to go.

![Manage your Clouds Easily with CloudMounter!](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPRoP8gg4f1ukBCcERkR7GaWYtYWcE7vfPK7uDZvPD6J7/DB01.png)

Then, you can access *CloudMounter* and your drives on the top bar of your *Mac.*

Notice the *"New Drive"* option in the menu and all the drives that are set up. You can mount and unmount them from there. You can also encrypt your drives, which I haven't tried yet.

![Manage your Clouds Easily with CloudMounter!](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQ2Gymz7ACzutjwNAKJAKcR7DYEwo27Gw9whWpSp3gcDT/mount.png)

This is how you see your *DropBox* or other clouds on your computer.

I connected here to the *Jerry Banfield's DropBox* for which I have access to because I am a partner and I can use all his *PLR* videos for my own use. You can become a partner too, if you click this affiliate link: http://pantika.us/jb-partners *(I will get a small commission if you join.)*

You can see that I can easily go to the folder I want, select the file I want, and even view the video without downloading it.

![Manage your Clouds Easily with CloudMounter!](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSBv4rgD2JUAVoBEGQyhaeZwS9tU3ys4EhCPFKsvMWQki/mount2.png)

What you can't see is that not only I don't have to download the videos to use them, but I can upload them directly to another cloud or to my course hosting website like I did for these courses here: *https://mgc.podia.com/.*

One of them is *free* to join, so enjoy!

This is such a time-saving solution to directly be able to upload somewhere else without having to download on your machine first.

Below are the drives mounted on my *MacBook Air.* 

The *"Data"* one is a *Time Capsule* that I can access only when at home with *2 TB,* then I have my *DropBox*, and just connected a *Google* and *OneDrive* disks, which gives me an additional *12 GB* that I can access from anywhere.

Isn't that awesome?

Thanks for the introduction to this nice service!  I guess it's useful for you when you have different computers and use different cloud services.  I don't really use cloud for anything important.  I trust locally stored data more :D
