   Can't live without it!

   I started using Webdrive about 5-6 years ago when my company implemented it to connect to our Sharepoint server. I've used it for SFTP, and to automatically backup my files to S3. It just makes getting to your files any where in the cloud the same as getting to them on your PC. I use it all the time, but rarely think about it. Kind of a set it and forget type of thing.

   👎 Cons:    Mac version is missing a few features

On Windows, you can implement something like that... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
