Folder vs CloudMounter
CloudMounter puts many clouds in Finder; Cloudflare R2 is not among them. Folder is built for R2. This compares Folder in your Cloudflare; a folder on Folder needs no R2 at all.
Pick FolderYour files are in Cloudflare R2, or you want a folder of your own with every version kept.
Pick CloudMounterYour files are in Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive or S3, and you want them all in Finder in one app.
| CloudMounter | Folder, in your Cloudflare | |
|---|---|---|
| Connects to | Dropbox, OneDrive, Amazon S3, Google Drive, WebDAV, SFTP, FTP and more; not R2 | Your Cloudflare R2 buckets |
| In Finder | Each cloud mounted in Finder | A folder under Locations, through File Provider |
| A deleted file comes back | As each cloud keeps it | Every overwrite and delete kept |
| Runs on | Mac and Windows | Mac and the web; the iPhone app is not in the App Store yet |
CloudMounter
CloudMounter is a cloud storage manager for macOS and Windows. It mounts Dropbox, OneDrive, Amazon S3, Google Drive, WebDAV, SFTP, FTP, pCloud, Box, Backblaze B2, MEGA and OpenStack Swift so that, in its words, you “access your cloud files directly in Finder and Explorer without opening additional software”, and it offers encryption. Cloudflare R2 is not in its list.
