About Pier

Pier is a Windows 10/11 app that mounts Nextcloud, ownCloud and any WebDAV server, SFTP over SSH and NFSv3 exports as a real drive letter, so Explorer, Office, backup tools and scripts see an ordinary disk. Files are fetched in blocks into a local cache, so only the parts you open cross the network.
