Which one is for you

Pick MSP360 Explorer if

  • Fits if you manage S3 or Azure buckets from a Windows desktop
  • Works for restoring single files out of cloud backup storage

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you want one clear price, because none could be confirmed and no plans are listed
  • Not for you if you need folder sync, as Sync Folders was removed and Compare Folders replaces it
  • Too light for Mac users wanting full control, since the Mac edition offers basic file management
  • Watch out: the Windows version needs Windows 7 or later and .NET Framework 4.7.2 or higher

Pick MultCloud if

  • Fits if you have a one-off migration between two cloud drives
  • Works for people who keep files in several cloud accounts and want one login for them

Look elsewhere if

  • Tight if you move a lot of data, since free is 5 GB a month and the cheapest paid tier is 100 GB
  • Not for you if you want scheduled transfers or backups without paying, because those are paid features
  • Pricey if you pay monthly, at $19.99 against $59.99 for a whole year
  • Watch out: the discounts are shown against crossed-out prices with no end date, and support is by email only

How we grade them

2.0GPAMSP360 ExplorerFair2.0GPAMultCloudFair
Value for money
CNo price could be confirmed because the vendor's main site blocked our reader, so it sits in the middle of the category by default.
CYearly is $59.99 for 1,200 GB, about $5 a month, which is around the category's cheaper quarter at $4.75. Monthly billing is $19.99 for 100 GB, and unlimited traffic is $119 a year, so most tools of this kind land close to it.
Free plan and trial
CThe Mac help pages list a free version with file restore, transfer and monitoring beside a commercial one, but the limits are not shown.
CFree gives 5 GB of traffic a month and 2 transfer threads, with no card shown. A single big migration will use that up in a day.
Features
CIt browses and copies between local disk and several clouds, with MFA, Object Lock, command line and PowerShell. The Sync Folders feature was removed in Windows version 6.2, and the Mac edition is described as basic.
CIt does transfers, two-way sync and cloud-to-cloud backup fully, and that is a smaller job than storage itself. Scheduled runs and extra sync modes are paid.
Ease of use
CYou add each storage account and keys yourself, and Windows needs .NET Framework 4.7.2 or higher. No store rating is on record.
CA web service where you connect each cloud account and build the transfer yourself. No app rating is on record.
Platforms and integrations
CWindows and Mac desktop programs only, with no web or phone version. It connects to S3, Azure, Wasabi, Backblaze B2, Google Cloud and OpenStack.
CWeb only, with no desktop or phone app. It lists more than 30 services, but nothing beyond the clouds themselves.

    How this page was made

    • The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
    • The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
    • Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
