Cloudii App Features

It is always tedious to access multiple cloud storage and transfer files between them. Cloudii app for Android let you connect to multiple cloud storage services through a single interface. Even though you still got to transfer files to each account individually, you can do so from a single window. To use Cloudii, first you got to sign into each cloud account separately.

Once done, you can access/control all the services from a single application.

All your files that are marked ‘favorites’ will show up in the favorites’ list, which can be accessed via the side menu.

For example, if you have a particular folder whose contents you wish to auto-sync with cloud storage, you can set it to happen that way.

It is found that files are downloaded in PDF. If you want to edit it, you got to have a PDF editor installed in your phone. Also, Cloudii app does not open a file by itself. Instead, the app opens the default application associated with the particular file type.

One annoying aspect we’ve noticed is that the app collects anonymous usage data by default, and you won’t know it unless you check the “anonymous statistics” option under settings, which is enabled by default. Also, keep in mind that the app consumes 48 MB RAM while running.

Conclusion

Cloudii app for Android is your single-window access to multiple cloud storage services, including Google Drive and Dropbox. The app is easy to set up, and it works smoothly for most parts. The auto-sync feature is its highlight. However, you can only use the app for 14 days and you’ll need a subscription to continue using it. Verdict: A handy app to connect to all your cloud storage services from one place.
