Cloud Sync

Air Explorer, the multicloud manager

Multi-Cloud Synchronization

Keep your files perfectly aligned between clouds and between your PC and the cloud with Air Explorer’s powerful sync engine. Manage Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox and 50+ services from a single interface, choosing how and when each folder is synchronized for reliable backups and migrations.

Multi-Cloud Synchronization

Cloud-to-cloud sync

Sync folders directly between cloud drives. Create mirror or bidirectional syncs between services like Google Drive and Dropbox, keeping both locations updated whenever files change.

Cloud-to-PC sync

Keep local folders on your computer in sync with any connected cloud account. Use it to back up workspaces, photos or documents automatically so your most important data is always protected online.

Parallel sync

Run multiple sync tasks in parallel to move data faster across several clouds at the same time. Parallel sync maximizes your available bandwidth and drastically reduces the time needed for large migrations or scheduled backups.

Create a synchronization between a local or cloud folder and another location, then choose the mode that best fits the task:

  • Mirror: makes the destination an exact copy of the source.
  • Mirror Update: copies source changes only when the source has a newer version.
  • Update: adds new or changed source files without deleting existing destination files.
  • Bidirectional: applies changes in both directions.
  • Customized: lets you define rules for differences, deletions and conflicts.

Save the configuration to run it again or schedule it.

Every sync task can be monitored from a unified task list, where you can start, pause or resume operations and review detailed logs of what was changed.

Combined with Air Explorer’s optional encryption and multi‑threaded transfers, cloud sync becomes a secure and efficient way to protect and organize your data across all your accounts.

Air Explorer includes sync filters to give you precise control over which files are transferred. Exclude specific file types like temporary files (.tmp, .bak), large videos above 1GB, or hidden system files to avoid unnecessary uploads. Include only priority content such as .docx, .pdf or recent files modified in the last 30 days. Combine multiple filters by extension, size, date or path to create custom sync rules that match your exact workflow needs, saving bandwidth and keeping your cloud storage organized and efficient.

Frequently Asked Questions about Multi-Cloud Sync

Can I sync Google Drive with OneDrive?

Yes. Select a folder in Google Drive as the source and a folder in OneDrive as the target, choose your sync mode (for example two‑way sync) and run or schedule the task.

Can I run several syncs at the same time?

Yes. Parallel sync lets you execute multiple sync tasks concurrently, which is ideal when you need to synchronize several projects or cloud accounts in one go.

Can I re‑run the same sync plan later?

Yes. Save your sync configuration as a task so you can run it again from the task list or schedule it to run automatically at specific times.

Can I sync encrypted files between clouds?

Yes. Air Explorer syncs encrypted content seamlessly between services, maintaining end-to-end protection during cloud-to-cloud transfers.

Can I exclude specific file types from sync?

Yes. Use sync filters to exclude .tmp, .bak, videos over 1GB, or hidden files, ensuring only essential content gets transferred.

Can I sync my PC folders with the cloud?

Yes. You can sync any local folder on your computer with a folder in any supported cloud service to create automatic backups or working mirrors.

Do I need to download files first to sync clouds?

No. Air Explorer syncs cloud‑to‑cloud directly through your internet connection, without saving intermediate copies on your PC.

What sync modes are available in Air Explorer?

Mirror sync copies all files from source to target, bidirectional keeps both folders identical, and update mode transfers only new or changed files for faster syncs.

How does parallel sync improve performance?

Parallel sync runs multiple tasks simultaneously across different clouds, maximizing bandwidth usage and reducing total sync time by 3-5x for large datasets.

Will sync continue after network interruptions?

Yes. Air Explorer automatically pauses and resumes sync tasks, preserving progress and preventing data corruption during unstable connections.
