Reinforced by your feedback, the completely rewritten ForkLift 3 combines the latest macOS technologies with the most stunning UI work we’ve ever done for an application, to redefine file management once again.

Remote Connections

Connect to SFTP, FTP, WebDAV, Amazon S3, Google Drive, Rackspace CloudFiles, SMB, AFP, and NFSremote volumes and easily manage your files quickly across networks. You can connect to multiple serversat a time and even copy between them with drag and drop.

ForkLift Mini

Sits on your menu bar and lets you mount a saved remote connection as disk, upload files to a remote server from Finder by drag and drop, or run a saved Synclet even if ForkLift is not running.

Sync

Compare local or remote source and target folders identifying matching, modified, new and deleted files. Synchronize them one or two-way with a single mouseclick, or save it as a favorite. If you are a web developer, you'll love this feature.

Preview

The preview panel shows you useful information about the selected file. It lets you inspect images, PDFs, and other popular document types. You can do quick edits on a text file in place, both on local drives and remote servers.

Quick Open

Easily access your favorites, devices, menu commands, open a selected file with a desired application, or apply a previously saved Multi Rename preset on selected files or folders.

Multi Rename

Use the Multi Rename tool when you need to rename a large number of files on your local drives or remote servers. Change case, replace text using regular expressions, add dates or sequences, and combine them in a saved preset.
