The files in the mounted drive are just images and not real files, and the moment you click it it downloads the files to local computer, is that true? (it is like favorite files of Dropbox mobile app where it shows all files but makes it available only when you open it, except for the favorite files which are downloaded to local phone drive.).ĭoes it conflict if you have the cloudmounter along with the local clients. I am not convinced by just "it helps expand your local drive" gimmick!ĭoes the mounted state continues after computer restarts? Please help me understand the true advantage. What am I missing here? If you mean syncing the whole drive takes up local storage, selective sync is the solution to that. In my opinion having their native apps is just as good as having a third party app. Launch CloudMounter and select OneDrive from the list of cloud storage services. First, download and install CloudMounter on your Mac. Everywhere I see the advantage point advertised is "expand your local drive"! If you have those clients you have already expanded your local drive capability, how is installing this app helping me. The process of mounting OneDrive via CloudMounter is pretty straightforward. I am not able to see the advantage here other than having four apps as one. I think, as one would directly work with files in the Dropbox or mega or box folder in the local drive, saving changes automatically, this cloud mounter also does the same. CloudMounter is made by the same developer and is designed to help users who are struggling with low-SSD storage devices. I mean any file that you would like to upload to the cloud service is already there in your local computer, both the process is same either you sync or upload. Dropbox, onedrive, box, mega they all have their clients from the beginning, and they offer selective syncing if one does not want to hold all the Dropbox copy occupy the local storage.įurthermore, why sync is a problem. I am still not understanding how this is an advantage, (other than 4 apps as one).
