Best for syncing and backing up between cloud accounts
cloudHQ keeps files in step between cloud accounts such as Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive and Box without downloading them, plus migration and backup. Premium is $149 a year for one user, and the free plan is for personal use with throttling and a 150 MB cap.
Who CloudHQ is for
- Fits if you need to move or mirror files between two cloud accounts
- Works for people who want cloud backup of Google Workspace data
Who CloudHQ is not for
- Tight if you stay free: personal use only, throttling possible and 150 MB per file
- Watch out: syncing Salesforce, S3 or SharePoint needs the Business plan
- Pricey if you add people: Business covers 3 users and each extra is $79 a year
- Watch out: prices vary by product, and these are for the sync, migration and backup one
- Skip it if you want a desktop app, since it works from the web

Keep CloudHQ, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace CloudHQ you would be making files kept in step across devices without losing one. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $149 a year.
What you could not
- Files kept in step across devices without losing one.
- Storing and serving files for other people.
- It plugs into other products, Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive among them.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. CloudHQ’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
