The ease of connecting to services was great. Having multiple services that we can connect to automatically at login saves users a TON of time (and IT) . We use it everyday for remote mounting of NAS volumes (so easy!).

Drawbacks:

The interfaces is minimal (good/bad), and there isn't a ton of info in error screens, so you have to dig for info if something goes wrong.

This is one of the best utilities for connecting to cloud services. Having an S3 bucket or Synology share auto-mount at login is such a time saver! Makes it so easy to add or connect to numerous services, including direct read/write of files (which we can't do with FTP).

Benefits:

Multitude of endpoints supported, fair integration with Windows OS

Drawbacks:

Caching feature isn't great, SSH mounts need to be restarted from time to time, lacks support of some newer cipher suits.

Overall positive, author is clearly working on the application and every new version sees measurable improvements. Some issues are, unfortunately, can't be quickly fixed due to the reliance on 3rd-party libraries.

This software supposedly works on Macs and Windows, to a variety of back end services. If your organisation is very diverse (and you can get it working), then this is the tool for you.

I could never get it working properly on Windows, so gave up trying to use it 8 years ago. Since then, the company have sent me regular updates and invitations to take part in surveys - but have totally ignored all my requests to stop the spam.

- no integration with spotlight - very low timeout on waiting external ssh hardware key; my key has an hardware button to confirm the request but if I am not so fast to push it the authentication fails and mountain duck prompt a dialog to configure ssh.

I realy like the selective synchronization and cryptomator integration; before I was using unison but now I quite happy with Mountain Duck except the lack of Spotlight integration.

The best thing is the ease of use and scalability. We can have a custom setup for each project and configure it depending on the time and budget that we have. This allows us to take on projects more projects, even the ones that we rejected in the past because of time / computing power concerns.

Drawbacks:

It can be quite expensive comparing to other services of this kind, but the client service is excellent.

Summary:

Seamless and smart.

If you want to find a piece of mind, try Renderro. Everything works as planned (This is still not final, release product at the time when I am using it / writing this). Edit remotely, even if you have limited possibilities using your laptop. Your full power is on the remote computer. Forget about buying expensive workstations. Everything you need is a keyboard, a mouse and monitor. And Renderro :). I have 10 y.o. macbook pro 17" which i still use for editing because of the 17" screen and non reflective surface (only model existing still today). Using this approach via Renderro i am acheiving 250 fps (two hundered fifty frames per second) when rendering my HD footage, comparing to 11 frames per second (eleven) when using macbook pro... :) There is no problem using mac via Renderro. It looks like you are using PC on mac. But if you think that this is something complicated (for mac users) here is what i think: If you are working with your typical software (Media Composer, Resolve in my case), you are at home immediately.

In this very moment (mid june 2020) i didn't check (yet) sending huge amount of my materials (film rushes) via PHYSICAL transport to remote server (i.e. several TB from the film set). Maybe this is for someone limiting factor. I don't know for now. But i had no problem sending my local media/ files/rushes via relatively fast internet (300 Mb/s) to Renderro server (but that was not that huge amount of data). Maybe this will be another (in a positive way) story when i switch to G5 solutions or when start to use physical delivery to remote server. I talked about this with support from Renderro, and basically you need to set all things regarding sending your huge (i mean really huge) amount of data with them BEFORE you start your next film project.

I used two Renderro computers. One for typical editing (using Avid Media Composer and DaVinci Resovle), second one basically for super fast rendering, using same projects. The thing i liked the most is the fact that you can use your footage on your remote disks, despite which computer you currently remotely use. I.e. I used cheaper one just for editing, second one to final rendering (and sometimes, just to add simple things, because this computer is more expensive, but is much, much faster than typical (cheaper one).

Benefits:

1. Simple and Easy to access your cloud computer. 2. Powerful and scalable Machines. 3. Great customer service.

Drawbacks:

Few tweaks are needed on drive interface, which can help improve we access the files from dashboard.

Renderro have been the most easiest and reliable service i have used for rendering my projects. Other than the great platform, i really like the customer service and i get response within few hours when i have question or problem.

Benefits:

It has given high performance cloud storage. It has advance level of features and functions that scale your projects easily

Drawbacks:

While using this software server has been problematic regardless of the speed of internet.
