Air Explorer provides desktop power users with superior multi-cloud management compared to web-based tools like MultCloud. Manage 50+ cloud services with drag & drop transfers, advanced sync modes, and end-to-end file encryption, all from a native Windows/Mac interface.

What is MultCloud and why look for alternatives?

MultCloud is a web-based cloud manager that lets users transfer, sync and backup files between 30+ services like Google Drive, OneDrive and Dropbox without installing software. It supports one-click cloud-to-cloud operations and scheduled tasks through any browser.

However, many power users report limitations: no native desktop experience, dependence on internet for all operations, steeper learning curve for complex workflows and free plan restrictions that push upgrades. If you need offline access, Windows Explorer, like control or deeper automation, it’s time for an alternative like Air Explorer.

Meet Air Explorer, a powerful MultCloud alternative

Air Explorer is a desktop application for Windows and Mac that centralizes 50+ cloud services, FTP/SFTP/WebDAV and local drives into one intuitive file explorer interface. Add unlimited accounts from the same provider (multiple Google Drives, OneDrives) and manage everything drag & drop.

Ideal for freelancers handling client files across clouds, IT admins backing up to S3/Backblaze or anyone juggling personal Dropbox, business OneDrive and NAS storage.

Key reasons Air Explorer is the best free MultCloud alternative

Native desktop experience

Air Explorer delivers a familiar Windows Explorer-style interface with multi-pane views, drag & drop and copy/paste between any clouds or PC folders. No more clunky browser windows – treat clouds like local drives for instant productivity.

Deep multi-cloud support

Connect Google Drive, OneDrive (personal/business/China), Dropbox, Mega, pCloud, Box, S3, Wasabi, Backblaze, SharePoint, Nextcloud, TeraBox, PikPak, FTP/SFTP and 40+ more. Multiple accounts per service mean unlimited Google Drives or OneDrives in one app.

Unlimited transfers

Move any file size from Google Drive to Dropbox, OneDrive to S3 or PC to cloud without data caps. Real-world speed: transfer 100GB folders between services while verifying locally.

Advanced sync, backup and automation features

Flexible sync modes

Mirror folders one-way (cloud → PC backup) or bidirectional between services. Example: keep OneDrive projects synced with Dropbox automatically. Run multiple syncs simultaneously for complex workflows.

Scheduled automation

Program transfers, syncs and backups to run unattended daily/weekly. CLI tool supports custom scripts for batch operations, perfect for server automation or nightly cloud backups.

Audit-ready reporting

Generate detailed logs and sync summary reports after every task. Track what transferred, errors resolved and bandwidth used, essential for business compliance.

Security and privacy: built-in encryption

Air Explorer’s standout feature: automatic end-to-end encryption of file content and filenames on upload. Files become unreadable without your extra password, even if someone accesses your cloud account. Decrypt seamlessly on download.

Unlike transport encryption alone, this protects data at rest across Google Drive, Dropbox or S3. Ideal for sensitive client work, financial backups or any privacy-focused use case.

Real-world use cases where Air Explorer beats MultCloud

• Large migrations: Move 1TB Dropbox workspaces to Google Drive with desktop verification – pause/resume without losing progress.
• Hybrid workflows: Sync local project folders ↔ OneDrive ↔ S3 backup nightly via scheduler.
• Encrypted archiving: Securely backup family photos from Mega to encrypted Backblaze with filename obfuscation.
