Organizing Your Cloud

As much as I love storing everything in the cloud, over the years I have developed a number of accounts through various services, and at times I have trouble remembering what is stored where.  Also, moving items from one storage service to another involves a lot of downloading and uploading of various files.  Multcloud is an online tool that allows you to manage multiple cloud drives all in one space.  This can serve a few different functions.  Not only does it make it easier to keep track of where all your files are because you can easily search multiple accounts in the same location, but you can easily transfer files from one cloud storage to another.  So I can take a file from my Dropbox account and easily move it into my Google Drive account, without all the hassle of downloading and uploading the file.

So far I have found the tool convenient and easy to use. This can also be incredibly helpful for your students who may use multiple online accounts, depending on the assignment and program.  There are a number of different types of accounts you can connect to create your dashboard for managing them all in one place. Additionally, you can add multiple accounts of the same type, so for instance if you have a personal and a work Dropbox account, you can manage them together. Overall, this is one of those tools that can be convenient and make life easier for those of us who utilize multiple cloud accounts, or can't remember where we stored our stuff.
