These days, there are many different cloud storage options available to users – the popular ones being the Dropbox, Box, SugarSync, Google Drive and SkyDrive. It’s not unusual if a user has accounts on most of these services. But the question that comes to the mind is how can we effectively manage all of these cloud storages? Wouldn’t it be great if we can manage all of these cloud services from a single interface. That’s where a new web app known as CloudKafe comes in. Let’s take a closer look at this app, and how it works.
Manage Different Cloud Storage Accounts From One Interface
CloudKafe lets you manage all of your cloud storages from one interface. The app allows users to access, manage, download, and upload files from major cloud storages, social networking and image sharing sites from a single window.
At the time of writing this, CloudKafe supports Dropbox, Google Drive, Facebook, Box, YouTube, SugarSync, SkyDrive, Evernote, Flickr, Picasa, Smugmug, Instagram, Vimeo, Yahoo, Catch and CX. So instead of logging-in to the web interface of each of these sites, you can create an account on CloudKafe, authorize the services that you want to use and access all of them from a single window – with less hassles and complications.
To get started, head over to CloudKafe website (link at the end of the post) and then click on the “Sign up” link. You can login using your Facebook account or manually create an account. To sign-in using your Facebook account, click on “Connect with Facebook.”
If you’ve manually created an account, then you’ll need to activate the account from your email address. Once activated, login to CloudKafe.
Now you will be able to see different icons for Documents, Pictures, Videos, Notes, Contacts and Music. Basically, CloudKafe also lets you keep your content separate by organizing them based on content.
Click on a circle, and then you’ll be able to see more options under it. Click on the + button and then you’ll be able to add a new account.
For example; click on Dropbox and then click on Next. Type a name for your account, or leave it as default which will be “My Dropbox” and click on Next.
Also if you don’t have an account, then you can click on “Create one now” link to create a new account with any service that you’ve selected. Once the account is created, you’ll need to grant permission to use your account.
Click on Next and then you’ll be sent straight to Dropbox.
Now you will need to authorize Dropbox. Click on “Allow” to grant CloudKafe the permission to access your Dropbox account.
Once authorized, you will be able to see the Dashboard. From here, you can see all your files and folders that you’ve stored on your cloud storage account. You can also download and upload files online, manage your Google or Yahoo contacts, or organize photos on Facebook and other sites. There’s also a Search bar in the left sidebar, just in case you want to search for a particular file. The results from the various services are aggregated inside CloudKafe making it easier to locate and choose exactly what you were looking for.
Conclusion
Overall it can be said that CloudKafe is a central storage for managing all your different cloud storage accounts. It brings various services and apps to one place, so that instead of logging-in to multiple websites, you can login to just one website and start accessing, managing, searching and sharing data. Plus, it’s free which means you don’t need to spend even a penny. Try it out from below link.
