LACloud turns the devices you already own into your own private cloud. Share and back up files directly between your phones, tablets, and computers over your local network — fast, and without your files ever passing through someone else's servers. WHY LACLOUD • Private by design. File transfers happen device-to-device on your own network. We never see, store, or scan your files. • Fast. Local-network speeds, not upload-then-download round trips. • Yours. Works across your iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows, and Linux devices — one account, all your devices. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Instantly send files and folders to another of your devices. • Browse a device's folders from anywhere on your network. • Automatic Backup: schedule a folder to be compressed and copied to another of your devices on a daily or weekly cadence — an always-current mirror you control. • See which of your devices are online and reachable at a glance. SECURITY • Sign in with email, Google, or Microsoft. • Only devices signed in to your account can reach each other. Every connection is authenticated, and access is granted per device. • Encryption keys for secure features stay on your device — never on our servers. LACloud is built by Chrono Travel LLC. Your files, your devices, your network. Privacy Policy: https://localareacloud.com/privacy Terms of Service: https://localareacloud.com/terms

Verdict

The call

Airtable and LACloud both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of LACloud's written reviews are positive against 59% of Airtable's. LACloud also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Airtable's advantage is ratings volume (25K vs 3). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
