Cyberduck is a popular Windows and Mac client for accessing and storing data in cloud based storage systems, including traditional FTP/SFTP/WebDAV servers, as well as OneDrive, Google Drive and Dropbox. It also has support for the Amazon S3 industry standard API, which means it can be used with Vitanium’s Object Storage platform.
Cyberduck is free, or can be licensed with a contribution to the project.
