How do you handle accessing remote files without juggling multiple apps?

Hey everyone, I’m curious—how do you all handle accessing remote files without constantly switching between different apps? Lately, I’ve been working on a project that requires pulling files from multiple servers, and it’s been such a pain having Finder open for one server, an FTP client for another, and then cloud drives for the rest. I feel like I’m spending more time juggling apps than actually working on my files. Any tips or setups that make this smoother?

Sometimes I find that just organizing folders locally and keeping a clear naming system saves a lot of headaches. Even when files are scattered across different locations, having a predictable structure makes it easier to find what I need without relying on memory or constantly checking multiple sources. Small habits like labeling and grouping can make a big difference over time, especially when juggling lots of projects at once.

I totally get what you mean. I used to be in the same boat, constantly hopping between apps depending on where the files were stored. A friend recommended checking out ftp file explorer, and it changed the game for me. Now I can connect to multiple remote servers, FTPs, and cloud accounts all in one place. It’s not only faster but also reduces the mental load of remembering which app has what. I’ve noticed my workflow feels a lot more organized, and it’s easier to move files around without losing track of anything.
