Working with online data has never been easier. CloudMounter can connect an Amazon S3 account to your computer, which means you can access and manage online data and files as if they were local. Uploading and downloading files to and from storage, working with an Amazon S3 bucket, setting up access control for online files using IAM — you can do it all with CloudMounter.

You won’t have to link all of your buckets. Choose the bucket you need to work with and conveniently manage it in Finder.

Support for all regions

All AWS regions are supported: EU (Frankfurt), Asia Pacific (Seoul), US East (Ohio), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Canada (Central), EU (London), and China (Beijing).

S3-compatible storage

This S3 Browser for Mac alternative offers more options for cloud file management on macOS giving you access to S3-compatible storage solutions like Minio, Cloudian HyperStore, and more.

Why CloudMounter

CloudMounter is an ultimately safe and handy utility that supports numerous protocols and cloud services. Besides, the list keeps growing. The app integrates with Finder to provide the best S3 management experience. On top of that, all files stored in the cloud are securely protected.
