RemoteDrive
RemoteDrive is a macOS utility from FileZilla Pro that mounts remote servers and cloud storage in Finder for direct file access.
What is RemoteDrive?
RemoteDrive is a macOS utility that lets you connect remote servers and cloud storage services directly to Finder. It is designed for people who work with files stored on FTP, SFTP, FTPS, WebDAV, and major cloud platforms and want to browse them like regular folders on their Mac. Instead of switching between separate transfer windows, you can open, copy, move, rename, and delete remote files from familiar Finder locations. RemoteDrive also supports connecting to services such as Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and OneDrive. This makes it useful for web developers, administrators, and cloud storage users who want a simpler file-management workflow on macOS. The app is published under the FileZilla Pro product line.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
RemoteDrive needs network access and permission to work with the remote services you connect, which is normal for a Finder-integrated remote storage tool. Because it can expose cloud and server files through Finder, actions such as moving, renaming, or deleting items can affect live remote data rather than local copies. Use it with the same care you would use on your storage provider's website or server, especially when working in shared folders or production environments.
Recommendation: Keep RemoteDrive if you use Finder to work with remote servers or cloud storage. If you no longer use those connections, you can remove the app, but saved connections and its Finder-based workflow will stop being available.
