MSP360 Explorer report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 13, 2026
Best for browsing S3 or Azure buckets from a desktop app
MSP360 Explorer is a file manager for cloud object storage such as S3, Azure and Backblaze B2, and its help pages list a free version. Prices could not be confirmed, the Mac edition is basic, and it runs only on Windows and Mac.
Who MSP360 Explorer is for
- Fits if you manage S3 or Azure buckets from a Windows desktop
- Works for restoring single files out of cloud backup storage
Who MSP360 Explorer is not for
- 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
Why MSP360 Explorer gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo price could be confirmed because the vendor's main site blocked our reader, so it sits in the middle of the category by default.
- CFree plan and trialThe Mac help pages list a free version with file restore, transfer and monitoring beside a commercial one, but the limits are not shown.
- CFeaturesIt 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.
- CEase of useYou add each storage account and keys yourself, and Windows needs .NET Framework 4.7.2 or higher. No store rating is on record.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWindows and Mac desktop programs only, with no web or phone version. It connects to S3, Azure, Wasabi, Backblaze B2, Google Cloud and OpenStack.
What these grades rest on. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from MSP360's own pages on 13 November 2026. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews.

Keep MSP360 Explorer, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace MSP360 Explorer 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.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 58 of the 91 other file storage and sync services grade higher.
What you could not
- Files kept in step across devices without losing one.
- A file manager working directly on your disk.
- A real app for macOS and Windows. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure and Wasabi among them.
What this rests on. MSP360 Explorer’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.
