Since today Cloud Storage is important and in my opinion nobody should give up the free space offered by applications such as Box.net, Google Drive, Dropbox and Onedrive . As recommended on several occasions, since all these services provide a limited space and slightly different characteristics, it is better to sign up for everyone and then use one or the other according to the needs.
For example, Onedrive is indispensable for Windows 10 and 8 and also Google Drive is excellent for streaming videos from Android phones while Dropbox is perfect for saving images and photos taken automatically from the phone.
A comparison of the best Cloud Storage is in another article.
Taking the three most popular and used cloud storage, Google Drive, Onedrive and Dropbox, you can manage files uploaded online from a single application on Windows 8 that is really well done and very practical.
This is the free RainbowDrive app, simple and easy to use, which links the three cloud storage services OneDrive, Google Drive and Dropbox .
Cloud Drive for Windows 10 and Windows 8 has a modern user interface that mirrors the tiled one of the Start screen.
Once launched, you can add the account of one of the cloud services from the right pane, providing authorization.
For example, you can add Dropbox to see all the folders in the Windows 8 application .
Rainbow Drive organizes the view of the folders in order to divide the files according to the type: Videos, Images, Music, Office Documents and more.
The most recently used ones are displayed in the middle section to be more handy.
The application also integrates with the Windows Media Player user interface which in turn allows you to watch streaming video and listen to audio files directly from cloud services.
If you open a video, it is played immediately, music is played, always streaming, without having to download it to the computer and the images are visible on the full screen and the photos can be browsed using the arrows on the keyboard.
The player's navigation controls allow you to play, pause or stop playback of the selected file, move to the next or previous file, change its volume, manage playlists and switch to repeat mode.
To add another cloud service, for example, Onedrive, open the settings by moving the mouse to the right side of the screen with Cloud Drive open and press where Cloud Management is written.
Now you will see all the files included in OneDrive and Dropbox together, as if these two services were one.
In the end you can also add Google Drive .
In Cloud mode, all cloud data can be managed separately from each other.
In this mode, you can view and organize the different accounts, see the total number of items saved on each drive, create new folders, upload and download files and delete existing ones.
A similar application, also for Windows 10 and 8, is Cumulo which offers access to SkyDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, SugarSync and Box all together from the same application and allows you to open streaming video files, listen to music, browse photos and download files saved in cloud storage.
However, it does not allow you to add data or modify existing files in archives.
