How we grade them
| 2.0GPAMSP360 ExplorerFair | 2.0GPAMultCloudFair | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |

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.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
