6 Tools To Merge All Your Cloud Storage Services Into One Place

When it comes to cloud storage solutions, Android has several popular options that come pre-installed depending on the device you own. The most notable ones include Google Drive, OneDrive, Samsung Cloud, and Dropbox — not all are installed by default, but most are readily known and easy to integrate.

Like me, you might’ve chosen different options to save on costs. But once you use up the free storage provided, you’re forced to find new options or change accounts. Unfortunately, when you sign up for multiple cloud storage services, changing between these services somewhat makes managing your files all the more confusing. Fortunately, there are tools that make it possible to unify your cloud storage options, keeping your accounts and files in one place across different platforms, including your handy Chromebook.

Some of these entries require a PC to access the cloud management services, but we also ensured to include file managers you can access on mobile.

Why is it important to consolidate your cloud storage services in one place?

Merging your cloud storage services together provides a unified, streamlined experience. It’s much easier to manage and synchronize your data if you are working with one interface. It also centralizes your data, so you don’t have to worry about accessing it at different times and places (especially if you need to use it to do a long-term backup).

You also do not have to worry about security for each cloud storage option if you opt into new securities with the unified cloud storage system. Sometimes, it saves you money if you use a free or cheaper tier of a subscription service for each cloud storage; bringing them together means you can maintain that without feeling the need to upgrade.

6 CloudFuze

Move large amounts of data the easy way

CloudFuze is an all-in-one solution for cloud storage services such as Google Drive, Dropbox, and Box. The service has a dedicated Android File manager that syncs all your cloud accounts to your Android device. The tool supports sharing files (via emails and cloud accounts), multiple account access, advanced file and folder management, and offline access. CloudFuze is flexible to use; it does require signing up for a CloudFuze account, and it isn’t completely free (it does have a 30-day trial with file migration limitations).

5 MultCloud

Synchronizes your cloud storage across multiple platforms

Technically, MultCloud has a dedicated Android and iOS app, but accessing the APK directly on the MultCloud website is required (the app isn’t available in respective app stores). MultiCloud is another all-in-one solution for managing multiple cloud storage services. The tool enables scheduled and automatic cloud file transfer, sync, and backup tasks while combining files stored on OneDrive, Box, Google Drive, Dropbox, and MediaFire.

Multcloud provides free and paid options (monthly and annual plans). The free option is limited to only 5GB of free data traffic per month, along with converting 50 Emails per month and two threads for data transfer. So, the free option might not be feasible depending on your needs (you may have well over 5GB when you combine your other cloud storage options).

4 CloudMounter

Creates easy-to-access local virtual drives

Another worthy cloud manager option is CloudMounter. The only caveat is that it doesn’t currently have a dedicated Android app. It’s an all-in-one cloud storage solution primarily designed for Windows, Linux, and macOS (more so on the macOS front, but you can download it directly to Windows). It’s still a great option if you work off multiple devices and want to keep your storage synced together without going through numerous apps and accounts to get to your files.

CloudMounter lets you mount different cloud storage services as virtual cloud drives on a computer while protecting sensitive data through end-to-end encryption. It’s compatible with Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Amazon S3, and other services like Box, Backblaze B2, and OpenStack Swift. CloudMounter offers paid and free plans, including a free trial. The free version limits how many accounts you can mount, offering only one per cloud service.

3 Aircluster

A central hub for many cloud storage options

Aircluster is another easy-to-use cloud storage management service. It allows you to add multiple cloud storage accounts to unify the experience, effectively combining them into one storage. It also offers encryption for your files while on the cloud. Aircluster supports Google Drive, OneDrive, SFTP, Dropbox, pCloud, and many others. The setup is slightly confusing, but once it works, managing your files and backups takes no time.

You can download Aircluster directly on Windows (it has a standalone Windows app), but for other platforms, you can check out its sibling services, Air Explorer (which has an Android app), and Air Live Drive. Aircluster offers free and paid options; free options limit users to two clusters and only three accounts per cluster with five simultaneous downloads and basic synchronization.

Air Explorer differs slightly from Aircluster in function. While Aircluster combines everything into one experience, Aircluster acts as a unified file explorer that lets you view and manage your files across your cloud services (not integrating them into one storage). On the other hand, Air Live Drive creates a mounted virtual drive for your computer.

2 Koofr

Fast and efficient file synchronization for EU users

If you want to set up a unified cloud storage service without using a computer, Koofr is one of the best options on this list (especially for EU users). Koofr functions similarly to a standard cloud storage service, but it can synchronize with other cloud storage providers. Koofr has an Android app, but it requires signing up to an account to connect.

Koofr also only supports limited options (Google Drive, Dropbox, Amazon Drive, and OneDrive) for integrating cloud storage services. Moreover, you can only gain up to 10GB, which is small, given how other options can give you 5GB for free — 10GB isn’t a lot if you’re already full from other storage options. It also works cross-platform to view and sync your files across Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, Linux, and through your browser. And if security is a primary concern, Koofr offers an alternative open-source app/service for extra protection and privacy, Koofr Vault, that’s built for client-side and encrypted storage use only.

1 MiXplorer

A versatile Android file management for numerous storage types

If you’re willing to pay $6 for an all-in-one cloud storage (there is a free option not on the Play Store) that connects seamlessly with other cloud storage services, we recommend MiXplorer Silver File Manager. The service supports 19 cloud storage providers, like Mail.ru, Dropbox, Box, Yandex, HiDrive, Mediafire, IDrive, and others (Google Drive, OneDrive, pCloud). MiXplorer also allows you to manage different storage types like SD cards, FTP servers, and LAN networks. Plus, it works for rooted devices. If you don’t want to leave behind security, MiXplorer supports file encryption and decryption using the Aescrypt file format.

Note that you can download a base free version (it doesn’t have all the accompanying add-ons, such as Archiver, Image, Tagger, and PDF). The version is free without ads and remains free without any conditions. The paid version on the Google Play Store is primarily there to support the developer.

Try local storage solutions instead

If you aren’t satisfied with the cloud storage options, the next best alternative is to secure external hard drives or start a personal NAS (Network Attached Storage). Of course, this option can be more expensive than a subscription since it has a higher upfront cost. However, depending on your needs, it may be well worth the price since it unifies your storage while improving ease of access and security.
