Editor's Take
Curated by Startup List teamPier is a Windows app that mounts WebDAV storage (Nextcloud, ownCloud, Synology, QNAP), SFTP servers and NFS shares as a real drive with its own letter, so Explorer, Office and scripts see an ordinary local disk.
The built-in Windows WebDAV client only allows Basic authentication over HTTPS by default, limits files to about 50 MB and drops the drive when the connection breaks. Pier reads files block by block into a local cache, so only the parts you open travel over the network. Interrupted uploads and downloads resume from the last block; after a Wi-Fi drop or VPN reconnect the drive reconnects by itself and writes pending changes. Offline mode keeps you working from the cache. Pier runs as a Windows service, so drives are available to all users and survive a reboot. Pier Backup (encrypted, versioned backups) is included.
Free for up to 5 drives with no time limit; Pro (unlimited drives, no ads) is USD 19 per year. Windows 10/11 64-bit, Windows Server 2019+. Not open source.
