Encryption for data at rest prevents unauthorized access regardless of the server or cloud storage infrastructure. Version 6

Documentation

Mountain Duck is a handy tool for mounting server and cloud storage accounts as local drives in Finder and Windows Explorer. Based on Cyberduck, by the same developer, Mountain Duck can connect to FTP and SFTP servers, WebDAV, Amazon S3, Azure and OpenStack Swift storage. Mountain Duck appears to be reliable and the Finder integration turns Finder into a fully-functional SFTP client - this is no easy feature and I've not yet found anything that actually works, all the time - Expandrive, Transmit, oDrive, SSHFS, Cloud Mounter, etc. All fall on their face fairly early on. Thus, Mountain Duck is the perfect addition to Cryptomator for those, who do not want a local copy of their files, but only want to load files on demand. Mountain Duck is based on the solid open-source foundation of Cyberduck. It uses the same Java-based cryptographic library CryptoLib as the desktop version and Android app of Cryptomator.

Cyberduck is software where you can view your files within their viewer. Mountain duck lets you view files like you would any other folder in your computer. Since Mountain Duck is much easier/faster to use in this regard, it isn't free while Cyberduck is. I'm sure there are more technical differences but practically that's how I would view them. Jun 18, 2020 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.

Cyberduck

The Cryptomator security architecture in Cyberduck and Mountain Duck has many crucial advantages over other client-side encryption solutions.

Secure and Trustworthy with Open Source
Open source software that can be audited independently for security. You can rest assured there are no backdoors and no hidden vulnerabilities. No online service subscription or account required. You will always have access to your data without the risk of a service shutting down.

Filename Encryption
File and directory names are encrypted, directory structures are obfuscated.

File Content Encryption
Unlike disk encryption utilities, each file is encrypted for its own.
