Back up MagentaCLOUD and move files to Google Drive, OneDrive and 40+ clouds
Air Explorer, the multicloud manager
MagentaCLOUD
Telekom's MagentaCLOUD lets other programs connect through WebDAV with a session password, and that's all Air Explorer needs: create the password in MagentaCLOUD's security settings, add the account and drag the files to back them up or move them to Google Drive, OneDrive or any other cloud. You don't need to look up the WebDAV address, because Air Explorer already has it. Air Explorer is free for Windows and Mac, and you don't need to sign up.
How to back up or transfer your MagentaCLOUD files
- Generate a WebDAV session password in MagentaCLOUD's settings (magentacloud.de › Settings › Security).
- Download Air Explorer for Windows or Mac and open it.
- Add your MagentaCLOUD account. In Accounts → Add account, choose Magenta Cloud and enter your user name and the WebDAV session password.
- Open MagentaCLOUD in one pane and a folder on your computer, or another cloud such as Google Drive, in the other.
- Drag the files or folders in either direction, or use Copy and Paste. You can follow each file in the task list at the bottom.
