# Voidger Mount

> Access connected clouds in Finder, File Explorer, or your Linux file manager with Voidger Mount. Learn about on-demand access and platform requirements.

Not every task needs to start in a provider’s browser interface. Mount brings the cloud closer to your desktop tools, exposing a connection as a drive in the native file manager.

## What you can do.

1. **The cloud in your everyday workflow**: Open and browse connected cloud files through Finder, File Explorer, or your Linux file manager. Use a familiar interface to reach more places.
2. **Browse a library without copying everything first**: Mount a remote library to find the file you need. Mounting does not require an initial copy of the entire library, although file access can transfer data and use a local cache.
3. **Media close to your project**: An explicit action in Spaces can prepare the mount needed to preview a compatible cloud video. You decide when to start that access.

## From the first step to the result.

1. **Connect your cloud**: Use a compatible account or connection already configured in Voidger.
2. **Mount the drive**: Voidger manages the connection and presents it to your system.
3. **Open your file manager**: Browse the files as part of your desktop workspace.

## Requirements differ by system

Linux uses FUSE. Connectivity, caching, and file-opening behavior also depend on your system, the application opening the file, and the provider.

## Your questions, answered.

### Where does the cloud appear?

On macOS, it appears as a Finder volume. On Windows, it receives an available drive letter. On Linux, it uses a FUSE mount point.

### Do I need to download all the files first?

You do not need a complete copy before browsing. Opening or working with remote files may transfer data. Mount does not automatically make a cloud library available offline.

### Can Windows ask for an extra permission?

Yes. The first mount may require configuring WebClient with a Windows permission. You can also continue browsing inside Voidger.

### Should I use Mount or Transfer for a large copy?

Mount is for accessing a cloud through your native file manager. Transfer provides a dedicated copy workflow with progress, logs, and resume for moving data.
