However, whether Transmit will do server-side copy, or download file from one bucket to the local machine and then upload to the other bucket will depend on whether the server (S3 gateway in this case) supports required API (CopyObject in this case). You can, of course, open one bucket in one pane, and the other bucket in the other, and copy by dragging or copy paste. If not - CyberDuck shall do.įirstly, using transmit or forklift can I move files and folders between buckets? My personal choice is Panic’s Transmit, if you need to use it frequently. This allows to use native mounting tools on macOS and thus avoid kernel extensions: rclone, for example, relies on FUSE kext to implement filesystem, but going forward kernel extensions are discouraged on most OSes that take security and stability seriously. The downsize would be lack of streaming support - the file needs to be downloaded in its entirety before it can be open by applications, this kills some scenarios like media file streaming.Īn example of the latter will be MountainDuck - it launches local NFS server and serves data via virtual NFS shares. It is, however, pretty rough in terms of UI polish and stability. If you want to mount the storj bucket (like rclone mount) you want the tool that either supports new FileProvider API on macOS or a tool that serves data via locally run file server.Īn example of the former would be StrongSync by ExpanDrive. without mounting) you can use Cyberduck (Free) or Panic Transmit (paid, but worth every penny). It can use storj via S3, and is hands down best cloud backup tools on macOS, and I’ve tried a lot of them over the years.įor sync between local folder and the bucket, and browsing the bucket in the app’s interface (I.e. Do you want to backup to storj, sync to storj, or mount the storj bucket locally?įor backup I recommend Arq7.
