The state of WebDAV mount clients in 2026
There are roughly six WebDAV mount clients I'd consider today:
| Client | Price (lifetime) | Platforms | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| ScsDriver | $5.5 (was $9.99) | Windows, macOS | Budget + WebDAV/S3 |
| Mountain Duck | subscription ~$40/yr | Windows, macOS | UX polish |
| RaiDrive Pro | subscription $40/yr | Windows | Protocol coverage |
| NetDrive 3 | $50-100 | Windows | Multi-protocol |
| Cyberduck | free (open source) | Windows, macOS | FTP/SFTP primarily |
| WinSCP | free (open source) | Windows | SFTP/SCP primarily |
For users in mainland China, ScsDriver is sold at CN ¥20 lifetime (separate pricing region).
What's actually under $10 lifetime?
Only one: ScsDriver. The rest are either subscriptions ($40/yr) or higher one-time fees ($50-100).
What you get for $5.5 (ScsDriver)
- WebDAV mount (RFC 4918)
- S3-compatible adapter
- Local cache layer
- Drive letter on Windows / macOS
- Reconnect on sleep
- Cross-platform
What you don't get
- Mobile mount (desktop only)
- Google Drive / Dropbox / OneDrive direct mount (WebDAV + S3 only)
- Polished UI (functional, not beautiful)
When to pay more
If you need Google Drive / Dropbox / OneDrive direct mount → Mountain Duck or RaiDrive Pro.
If you want a beautiful UI and don't mind a subscription → Mountain Duck.
If you only need SFTP → Cyberduck or WinSCP, both free.
When ScsDriver is the right answer
You have a WebDAV server (Nextcloud, ownCloud, Seafile, or ScsDriver cloud) or an S3-compatible bucket (AWS, MinIO, Backblaze B2, Wasabi, etc.). You want a one-time $5.5 payment and don't want a subscription. You're fine with functional UI.
Verdict
For most self-hosters and indie creators, ScsDriver at $5.5 lifetime is the cheapest path to a real WebDAV mount. The subscription options are 7x more expensive over 5 years; the one-time NetDrive is 9x more expensive.
Pricing recap (overseas)
- Monthly: $1.5
- Yearly: $5.5
- Lifetime: $5.5 (was $9.99)
For users in mainland China, the package is sold at CN ¥20 lifetime (separate pricing region).
