Users appreciate its capability to handle diverse providers and affordable plans. However, common issues include app instability with large files, missing features like multi-file operations and syncing controls, occasional login and upload failures, and limited free storage disclosure. Overall, it fulfills core needs well but could improve usability and reliability. ### Pros - Supports various S3 compatible storage providers including Ceph, Minio, Backblaze, IDrive e2. - Provides encrypted end-to-end encryption (E2EE) and modern UI, with Rclone compatibility. - Highly appreciated developer support and responsiveness to issues. - Allows backup and sync of device files, helpful for managing cloud storage beyond typical services like Google Drive. - Offers an affordable alternative to Google Drive's storage limits, enabling use of local or cheaper S3 storage providers. ### Cons - App can be sluggish, non-responsive, and prone to crashing especially with large image files or when creating signed URLs. - Lacks some functionalities such as auto-sync for all device folders, moving/copying multiple files at once, and mounting buckets as file providers for easier sharing. - Login and uploading errors occur, sometimes with no clear failure logs; issues with failed uploads disappearing. - No option to add multiple buckets simultaneously without signing out or to sync local to remote automatically. - Limited free storage information and some users expect free 2TB cloud storage which the app does not provide. ## Similar extensions and apps - [JRDrive Rclone file manager](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.jrdrive.android) — 289 users - [Total Drive Storage](https://chrome-stats.com/d/org.totaldrive.app) — 100 users - [MyClouDrive - Manage and Sync](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.mycloudrive.app) — 24 users - [Icedrive: Secure Cloud Storage](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.icedrive.app) — 404,902 users, 4.19 / 5 - [RcloneView: Photo Backup](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.bdrive.rcloneviewmobile) — 647 users - [Gstaad.Cloud Drive](https://chrome-stats.com/d/cloud.gstaad.drive.android.client) — 5 users - [SDrive - Store & Share online](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.synosky.drive) — 62 users - [Cloud Drive: Secure Storage](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.abl.cloud.backup.restore) — 22,810 users, 4.80 / 5 - [GLDrive](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.geilidrive.app) — 8 users - [NetDrive](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.bdrive.ndmobile) — 2,456 users, 2.50 / 5 - [CloudMount](https://chrome-stats.com/d/app.cloudmount) — 7,598 users - [Syndoc Cloud File Manager](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.syndoc.merlin) — 37,920 users, 4.13 / 5 --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.s3.drive.file.explorer.storage.cloud.manager)
