Top 10 Services to Help Manage Your Cloud Storage

If you have multiple cloud storage accounts, you know how hard it is to manage all of them and keep them synchronized. In this article I will show you some of the best solutions for organizing and managing multiple cloud storage services from one single window.

10. CatchApp

CatchApp

CatcApp (formerly known as Hojoki) is mostly designed for collaboration projects. The tool offers support for several cloud storage services such as Box, Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive and a lot of applications such Basecamp, Evernote, Twitter, etc. This service can be used from your web browser and has apps for iOS, Windows and Mac.

This tool integrates Dropbox, Google Drive and Box as cloud storage and a wide array of useful apps to help you deal with your daily tasks and keep track of collaborative projects.

8. ZeroPC

ZeroPC

ZeroPC aims to be different from its peers by offering a desktop-like interface instead of the regular explorer-like view that most other services offer. The tool's biggest problems are the lack of basic tools which any desktop system sports and the fact that it isn't exactly user-friendly. What's great about this service is that it doesn't store your usernames and passwords, the service provides secure SSL encryption and gives you a Cloud Attach option which enables you to attach files to emails directly from your cloud storage. ZeroPC is browser-based and has apps for Android and iOS platforms.

7. Zapier

Zapier

Zapier is an interesting tool that enables you to create connections between your cloud storage accounts. The free version limits the number of actions you can make, while the paid plans (which start at $17,00) gradually removes the limitations. Zapier integrates with a number of cloud storage services including Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc.

6. Gladinet

Gladinet

Gladinet helps you combine multiple storage services into one. This handy tool offers support for SkyDrive, Google Drive, Box, Amazon S3, HP Cloud, Gladinet Cloud, etc. The service creates a virtual drive on your computer's hard-disk, giving you access to all your cloud storage from that newly formed partition. Its paid plans start at $6.99, but you can use the free trial to see if Gladinet is what you need.

5. Otixo
