Air Explorer’s CLI unlocks scriptable cloud management: synchronize folders between services, transfer data between PC and cloud, encrypt uploads or generate backups, all from command prompt, batch files or integrated workflows. Perfect for developers, IT admins or anyone needing reliable automation without the GUI.
Get started with the command line
- Open Options and enable Command Line Support; it is available in Air Explorer Pro.
- Open the command-line help from Tools or View to check the available commands and their parameters.
- Set a command-line password if you need to protect automated access, then include it when running commands.
- Test each command with a small folder or saved task before using it with important data.
- Once it works as expected, save it in a .bat or PowerShell script and schedule it when needed.
Common command-line workflows
These Windows examples use account aliases and paths in quotes. Replace them with your own values, then test with a small folder first.
