Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 13 of the 91 other file storage and sync services we grade
MSP360 Explorer, still called CloudBerry Explorer in the help center, is a file manager for cloud object storage such as Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, Wasabi and Backblaze B2. It copies files between a computer and the cloud, or between two clouds, and manages storage-level settings. It runs on Windows and macOS.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about MSP360 Explorer, taken from its own pages and our grades.
- 1
Best for browsing S3 or Azure buckets from a desktop app
Prices could not be confirmed, the Mac edition is basic, and it runs only on Windows and Mac.
- 2
There is a free plan

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price could be confirmed because the vendor's main site blocked our reader, so it sits in the middle of the category by default. |
| Free plan and trial | C | The Mac help pages list a free version with file restore, transfer and monitoring beside a commercial one, but the limits are not shown. |
| Features | C | It 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. |
| Ease of use | C | You add each storage account and keys yourself, and Windows needs .NET Framework 4.7.2 or higher. No store rating is on record. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Windows and Mac desktop programs only, with no web or phone version. It connects to S3, Azure, Wasabi, Backblaze B2, Google Cloud and OpenStack. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Administrators who manage S3 or Azure buckets from a desktop app

Part 02 · Pricing
What it costs
Every plan, the free plan, ways to pay less and how prices have moved

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
