Task Scheduler

Air Explorer, the multicloud manager

Scheduled Cloud Backups

Automate your cloud transfers, syncs and backups with Air Explorer’s built‑in scheduler. Set one‑time tasks or recurring operations to run unattended, keeping your Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox and other clouds perfectly aligned without manual intervention.

Schedule Cloud Transfers

Program file moves between clouds (Google Drive to Dropbox) or PC‑to‑cloud uploads to run at specific times, ensuring data stays current across accounts.

Automated Syncs

Set recurring syncs between multiple clouds or local folders. Daily, weekly or custom intervals keep backups fresh and projects synchronized effortlessly.

Unattended Backups

Run complete cloud backups overnight or during off‑hours. The scheduler handles everything silently, with automatic resume after interruptions.

Automated Schedules for Transfers, Syncs & Backups

Air Explorer’s task scheduler transforms manual cloud operations into hands‑free workflows. Save any transfer, sync or backup as a reusable task, then schedule it to execute daily, weekly or at custom times. Tasks run in the background as Windows services, even when Air Explorer is closed, making it perfect for nightly backups, project synchronization or large migrations that don’t require your attention.

Combine with sync filters to transfer only changed files, CLI integration for complex scripts, and detailed logs for verification. Whether you’re syncing OneDrive with Dropbox, backing up PC folders to S3, or migrating terabytes between clouds, the scheduler ensures reliability and efficiency every time.
