macOS 15/26 massive ram leaks and slow performance. Transferring 1GB of files over SMB used 9GB of ram and kept that ram used until Mountain Duck was restarted. It was also 1/10th the speed of native SMB. Trying to use it to sync backups to Backblaze was worse. Sync 5GB of data used 49GB of ram. This is a known issue from 2022 that is still unfixed in 2026. [https://github.com/iterate-ch/cyberduck/discussions/16431](https://github.com/iterate-ch/cyberduck/discussions/16431) When you contact support they just demand outrageous amount of debugging from you that has a lot of privacy information in it.
Edit/update: They did refund me so that's a major + for the company so I updated this to remove comments about company trustworthiness and added a star. Though it is still worth noting that there is no official refund policy so I do stand by my advice to take full advantage of the trial period before buying. If you do try it, don't impulse buy because of a good first impression and light testing/usage. Stress test it.
now personal/business google drive could also MOUNT as local drive;
also foss rclone i think do quite the same.
peronsally i dont find much difference.
just tried, mountain duck is MUCH stable and faster. the rclone browser FROZEN at v1.8. not bad to have a copy of mountain duck. remind: not 100% foss, it's base on foss but NOT foss
Excellent, reliable software. Multiple methods of connection (SFTP, FTP-SSL, WebDAV and popular cloud providers). Integrates with Cryptomator, automatically opening vaults.
Open source, cryptomator integration
NOT open source, base on open source but added CLOSE source thing == close source!
Versatile and robust, fast. And competitive pricing.
