   Rclone vs Mountain Duck Comments

   Positive comment by zz9c · Sep 26, 2021

   The rclone mount command allows mounting a remote filesystem locally in linux using FUSE https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_mount/ .

   Negative comment by griels · Aug 28, 2022

   Doesn't actually mount remote store as a volume. Just syncs which takes up local space.

   Negative comment by smammy · Aug 2, 2021

   Mountain Duck mounts remote storage as a native drive. Rclone does not.
