Your Mac is full, but you already pay for terabytes of cloud storage. Feather Drive turns that into Mac storage: your clouds show up in Finder as one drive, files take zero bytes on your Mac and stream when you open them, so even a 48 GB video starts playing right away. Drag files onto the menu-bar feather to upload, press ⌃⌥F to find anything, and turn on end-to-end encryption if you want it. Works with Google Drive and Dropbox. No new subscription: one-time purchase, free trial. macOS 26+.

Partial The Mac UI and cloud account integrations are buildable, but a real version needs an Apple File Provider extension that presents cloud files as zero-byte placeholders with on-demand streaming, which is low-level, fragile systems work.
What it would actually take: Build a native macOS app with a File Provider extension in Swift, along with per-cloud sync engines using each provider's API, delta sync, and conflict handling. The hard parts are reliable placeholder and materialization behavior, large-file streaming, and offline or conflict edge cases, which require deep macOS filesystem experience and extensive testing.
