Download PikPak files and folders to your PC or move them to other clouds
Air Explorer, the multicloud manager
PikPak
Downloading a whole PikPak folder, subfolders included, takes a single drag in Air Explorer: add your PikPak account, open it next to a folder on your computer and drag the folder across. If the connection drops, the download picks up where it left off, and you can also send the files straight to Google Drive, OneDrive or any other cloud. Air Explorer is free for Windows and Mac, and you don't need to sign up.
