![]() There are also benefits in that should you loose you device (or it becomes unusable in any way) the cloud storage will still be safe and ready to use on another device!Īs well as making cloud storage easy to work with, Mountain Duck also includes the Cryptomator encryption technology which means the setting up of secure, zero knowledge encrypted containers very easy and convenient. This encryption technology is especially useful if using a cloud storage provider which doesn’t offer zero knowledge security in any way themselves and might be used for storing potentially sensitive data. I also like that Cryptomator has been integrated right into the app itself making it easy to secure you data whilst being stored on any cloud, let’s go and see what it can do! So far Mountain Duck looks really promising and the concept of using cloud storage locally has lots of benefits. Installing Mountain Duck begins by heading over to the Mountain Duck website where a 14 day free trial version can be downloaded. At just over 65MB the installer can be downloaded and set running very easily, a restart was required during my install although, overall, the process was both quick and easy. Very little user intervention was required during the install, just a couple of clicks and then the application was ready to use after the restart. ![]() With the licencing or free trial out of the way the application itself will now be ready to use! Mounting Cloud Storage with Mountain Duck When starting Mountain Duck for the first time we will be asked to provide a licence key or, alternatively, request the 14 day trial. Now we have the application installed and ready to use we can start mounting some cloud storage on our device, I will be using Windows 10 during my testing but Mountain Duck also provide a MacOS version of the software for those on Apple devices. ![]()
