# Introduction
For normal computers, Google or Dropbox drive can be mounted as a network folder. The remote files are cached to local disks and automatically synchronized with the cloud. So it is very fast to access, and there are no repeated downloads.
For normal computers, Google or Dropbox drive can be mounted as a network folder. The remote files are cached to local disks and synchronized with the cloud in the background. So it is very fast to read and write, and there are no repeated downloads.
Similarly, SeaweedFS Cloud Drive can mount cloud storage to the local cluster. The cloud files can be cached to the local cluster and automatically synchronized with the cloud. So the read and write speed is of course very fast. Besides that, since the cloud files are downloaded only once, the cost to access the files is also minimized.

So the read and write speed is of course very fast. Besides faster speed, the cost is also much lower. Since the existing cloud files are downloaded only once, the egress transfer cost to is minimized. And the local updates are uploaded for free. API accesses are also reduced to minimum.
So, faster and cheaper!
