Just Bought Mountain Duck Now like hard drives in the finder window (very cool) S3 Dropbox Websites (dreamhost) Cloudflare R2 Google Drive I use column view and have instant access now to all my online systems - don’t have to go to websites or other garbage - just the simple finder window - amazing…. ---

I switched to [https://ftpfiles.app](https://ftpfiles.app) . Really nicely integrated into the Finder: an FTP Server is “just a folder” on your Mac .-) ---

Well not using my new software… Not really sure why… I have to go to menu and connect the particular cloud drive Then it works fine… But often times I need a link and it’s easier in Cloudflare website - drag into safari - click on on it and copy path for that specific website Why keep attached? Dropbox - very occasional use - for me Websites - fetch is fine and 90% elements Google - back up file - occasional use Cloudflare - discussed S3 Vibralogix store files - don’t use much - set forget So I was enamored with the idea of it - but in reality not using… ---

Interesting to see how popular this thread actually is — and how many people here are looking for a good file/FTP manager for Mac or are using different alternatives. Here’s another [“Swiss Army knife” file manager](https://salamander.codesurfer.ch) that I came across a while ago. Even the free version looks quite powerful, especially considering the huge number of features it offers. For me personally, though, it feels a bit like “too much”, so I’ll probably stick with [Commander One Pro](https://commander-one.com/de/) for now. ---

You could always use FTP or SFTP via the Terminal. ![Woman in Hoodie and Sunglasses](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/6/3/63da0ad5a99286bb95c890f7a2ae576ae4d7ad1c.gif) ---

The people that make MAMP just came out with a new FTP/SFTP client called **Ferry** , there is a free preview available [Ferry — A native Mac app for FTP and SFTP.](https://www.mamp.info/ferry/) Looks promising, but I’m still testing.
