Air Explorer Review

Depends

Should I use Air Explorer?

Multi-cloud file manager: manage, sync, and transfer across cloud storage services in one desktop app - airexplorer.net

· 4 days ago

Buy it if you juggle several personal cloud accounts and want one desktop app for transfers and sync. Skip it if you need open source, proven support, or enterprise file-transfer guarantees.
