singlecloud

Singlecloud is a cloud storage management service that connects multiple cloud storage accounts into a single web interface, allowing users to browse, organize, and transfer files across services without repeatedly signing in to each provider. It aims to simplify cross-provider file management by presenting connected accounts in one location.

The platform aggregates connected accounts and provides features such as cross-provider file transfers, drag-and-drop between services, bulk operations, and centralized search. Some implementations offer additional capabilities like scheduled transfers, file linking, and synchronized folder views, depending on the plan and integrations supported.

Supported providers typically include major consumer and business services such as Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, and Box, with additional connectors varying by provider and subscription level. Authentication is generally conducted via OAuth, and the service typically does not store user passwords; instead, it requests limited permissions to access and manage files on behalf of the user.

Security and privacy considerations include the use of encrypted connections (HTTPS) for data in transit and the use of OAuth for authentication. Depending on the integration, some operations may be performed server-side, meaning data can be processed on the service’s servers. Users should review granted permissions, data handling practices, and the terms of service before enabling cross-provider access.

Limitations may include transfer speeds limited by network conditions and provider-imposed rate limits, potential loss or alteration of metadata or permissions during transfers, and variability in feature support across providers and plans. Reliability and performance can differ depending on the configured connectors and usage patterns.
