Then you have to manage them, keeping them all updated. The multiple-service problemsĮach one of those services requires you to run a separate app-using up valuable RAM and CPU resources. I don’t think Amazon S3 even offers native Finder access to their servers (I could be wrong). It’s not difficult, but it’s a few extra clicks every time. Sure, Transmit has a “mounter” app to give you Finder-level access to your FTP site, but I’ve found it to be nearly unusably slow and buggy compared to their excellent full app.ĭropbox, Google Drive, One Drive all require you to navigate to their respective folders to place your files in.
