About

Airclone

Features
Read full description

Airclone is a modern, easy-to-use file manager for the clouds you already use. It is built on rclone, the open-source engine that can move and sync files across 70+ storage services — Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, SFTP, WebDAV and many more. Airclone gives it a clean, fast interface on your iPhone and iPad, so you can manage all of your storage from one app without ever touching a command line. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Browse every cloud like a folder. All of your remotes sit side by side, with familiar rows, previews and long-press actions. • Move and copy between clouds directly. Send a file from one cloud to another — the transfer runs as a background job you can watch or cancel, and you can pause the queue so nothing new starts. • Sync and back up folders. Mirror, copy, move or two-way sync, with a dry-run preview that shows exactly what will change before anything happens. • See your photos and videos. Image and video thumbnails load right in the app for any remote. • Stay in control. Nothing is overwritten silently — every collision asks first: skip, replace, or keep both. YOUR FILES STAY YOURS Airclone runs entirely on your device. There are no accounts to create, no tracking and no telemetry. Your files and your cloud credentials never pass through our servers, because we do not have any. BUILT ON RCLONE The rclone engine is built into the app, so there is nothing else to install and no command line to learn. Airclone is an independent companion to rclone and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the rclone project. ABOUT FILES ON THIS DEVICE iOS does not let an app browse your whole device, so Airclone's local side is its own folder — the one the Files app shows under "On My iPhone" as Airclone. Anything you copy down from a cloud lands there, and anything you put there from Files is ready to upload. Mounting a cloud as a drive, and creating or extracting archives, are not available on iOS.
