We are thrilled to announce the release of Mountain Duck 4 – the premier choice to mount server and cloud storage as a disk in Finder on macOS and the File Explorer on Windows.
Use the regular Google Drive connection type to see the Team Drives besides My Drive and Shared with me. Shared files Documents shared with you from another Google account can be found inside the top level folder Shared with me. These apps generally provide more features than Wasabi Explorer, including the ability to mount Wasabi hot cloud storage as a disk volume on your Windows or Mac host.

While I agree that using S3 as a file system is a bad idea, the backup software that I use only backs up lettered drives, so I used this application to assign the bucket a drive letter in windows.
File History with recent changes
- Mountain Duck mounts your server storage as a network drive in which you can transfer and edit files. The following describes the connection process to NextCloud with a Mountain Duck Bookmark step-by-step. Connect to your NextCloud or OwnCloud instance in your web browser and log in.
- Whether it is your personal NAS, university or enterprise file sharing solution – our best-of-breed WebDAV client implementation makes it hassle free to mount your files securely on your desktop with Mountain Duck or manage files with Cyberduck.
Version 4 adds a file history with a detailed view of transfers in progress and history of recently edited files on your computer and on the server. Users can select an item to quickly reveal the changed file in the file explorer.
Labels for Bookmarks
Assigning labels to bookmarks allows grouping bookmarks in folders in the menu further enhancing the unobtrusive user interface.
Features for Teams
Locking files prevents conflicting edits from others while editing a document. Support has been introduced locking files when connecting to a WebDAV server. Additionally, locking for protocols with no native lock support using lock owner files has been implemented to allow alerts for concurrent edits in Microsoft Office.
Also when working with versioned buckets in S3, users can open and revert previous versions of files.
