Overview
About Mountain Duck 5
Mountain Duck 5 lets you mount remote storage as a native disk in Finder on macOS and File Explorer on Windows, so teams can open and edit cloud files with regular desktop apps. It supports major protocols and providers including SFTP, WebDAV, SMB, Amazon S3, and more, and adds smart synchronization workflows for hybrid local and remote access. For people who work directly against server storage every day, it removes a lot of transfer friction.
Audience
Who Is Mountain Duck 5 For?
Mountain Duck 5 is built for developers, IT teams, creative operations, and agencies that constantly access remote files across cloud buckets, servers, and shared drives. If your workflow depends on opening remote assets directly from desktop apps instead of manual upload/download cycles, this is exactly the use case it targets.

Customer Reviews
Great!
Works well for mounting remote drives. No permissions needed, so I can use this on an otherwise locked-down system. I had some problems with uploads getting stalled in the past, but the upgrade to v5 (in 2025) fixed this issue, and it’s robust.
Goodbye Dropbox
With Backblaze B2 as a backend (pay for the data storage you USE not some maxed out fee) and all of the same syncing capabilities as Dropbox, Mountain Duck is saving me so much money, it pays for itself in no time.
Rock Solid
Mountain Duck has been rock solid for me, working on SSH file system mounts. It's worlds better than picking through things via a SFTP client. Try it, you'll love it.
