How do you handle multiple cloud accounts without constantly switching apps or b
Hey everyone, I’ve been messing around with how I handle files across different cloud services lately, and I’m kinda torn on this one thing. For everyday stuff like dragging files around, editing docs right in place, or just browsing folders without much hassle, do you find WebDAV actually feels smoother, or do the native APIs from services like Google Drive/OneDrive/Dropbox win out in real daily use? Last month I tried setting up WebDAV for my work backups on a self-hosted thing, and while it worked okay for basic access, there were these random laggy moments when opening big folders—felt clunky compared to just using the official desktop app for the same drive. Anyone else notice that difference in seamlessness, or am I just hitting bad configs? Curious what your go-to setup is these days.

Lately I’ve been noticing how so many folks are leaning toward these hybrid approaches for file access, where the old-school protocols mix with whatever the big providers push natively. It’s funny because a few years ago everything seemed headed toward super proprietary ecosystems, but now there’s this quiet pushback with people wanting more flexibility without losing that instant “just works” feeling. I remember back when I first dealt with remote files, the whole experience felt way more fragmented, like you were always fighting the tools instead of flowing with them. These days though, even casual users seem to expect smoother bridging between local and remote, almost like the line’s blurring more than ever. Kinda makes you wonder where it’ll settle in another couple years.

Yeah, I’ve run into similar frustrations with plain WebDAV too—it’s reliable for what it is, but it never quite feels as buttery smooth as the native integrations on macOS or Windows. A while back I got fed up switching between apps and tabs for all my scattered storage, so I started using something that mounts everything as local drives instead. Honestly, it’s made a noticeable difference for daily ops, especially when I’m juggling multiple accounts without the usual sync delays or weird disconnects. If you’re looking for a solid cyberduck alternative—it handles the mounting in a way that just blends right into Finder like they’re regular folders. No massive promo here, just my two cents from using it over the past year or so; the encryption option is handy when paranoia kicks in. What about you, anyone tried similar tools and stuck with them long-term?
