Having multiple services that we can connect to automatically at login saves users a TON of time (and IT) . We use it everyday for remote mounting of NAS volumes (so easy\!). > > **Cons**: The interfaces is minimal (good/bad), and there isn't a ton of info in error screens, so you have to dig for info if something goes wrong. > > This is one of the best utilities for connecting to cloud services. Having an S3 bucket or Synology share auto-mount at login is such a time saver\! Makes it so easy to add or connect to numerous services, including direct read/write of files (which we can't do with FTP). ----- ### "Mountain Duck v3" — 4.0/5 > **Andrew** | *12 April 2020* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Multitude of endpoints supported, fair integration with Windows OS > > **Cons**: Caching feature isn't great, SSH mounts need to be restarted from time to time, lacks support of some newer cipher suits. > > Overall positive, author is clearly working on the application and every new version sees measurable improvements. Some issues are, unfortunately, can't be quickly fixed due to the reliance on 3rd-party libraries. ----- ### "Product - OK, Customer service - poor" — 3.0/5 > **John** | *17 February 2020* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: This software supposedly works on Macs and Windows, to a variety of back end services. If your organisation is very diverse (and you can get it working), then this is the tool for you. > > **Cons**: I could never get it working properly on Windows, so gave up trying to use it 8 years ago. Since then, the company have sent me regular updates and invitations to take part in surveys - but have totally ignored all my requests to stop the spam. ----- ### "The best option out there\!\!" — 5.0/5 > **Ena** | *18 May 2022* | Import & Export | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Being able to add cloud storage to the Finder as if it were a disk is great\! The synchronization is almost at the moment, it works perfectly and there are almost no crashes. > > **Cons**: Perhaps the customer service could be a little better (it's great, but could be better), it's the only aspect that I noticed something "wrong" > > Great, everything very fluid and adapts perfectly to the user ----- ### "Mountain Duck review" — 4.0/5 > **Davide** | *18 February 2020* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: - selective synchronization of folders for offline usage - cryptomator - integration with native finder - support of ssh, s3, dropbox, webdav - support of gpg-agent and external ssh hardware key > > **Cons**: - no integration with spotlight - very low timeout on waiting external ssh hardware key; my key has an hardware button to confirm the request but if I am not so fast to push it the authentication fails and mountain duck prompt a dialog to configure ssh. > > I realy like the selective synchronization and cryptomator integration; before I was using unison but now I quite happy with Mountain Duck except the lack of Spotlight integration. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/192461/mountain-duck?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/192461/mountain-duck) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
