Cloud Storage Management Apps

The longer you use a computer, the more access to resources you accumulate. I'm old, so I have more accounts than I know what to do with. When it comes to cloud storage, I have access to Google Drive, One Drive, Box and Dropbox, although I only pay for Google Drive. I once signed up an entire middle school's faculty to Dropbox with my referral link, so I have a large sized free tier. I got 50GB from Box so long ago that I no longer remember how. OneDrive is provided by my job.

Each of these providers, along with other cloud storage solutions, provide their own software for mounting your storage at login. There's no way I want to have four separate apps running in the background when I can consolidate them into one app that does the same thing and in some cases provides more utility. Mac users can choose between three types of access. I prefer using a network drive mapper. The app I use is CloudMounter because it is included in Setapp, although it often goes on sale. A similar product, Mountain Duck, is currently on sale for $7 at Bundlehunt.
