CrossCloud

CrossCloud is a neat and useful piece of software that helps add an extra layer of protection to your data cloud-stored data.

This said, probably the first thing you need to know about CrossCloud is the fact that it uses one of the strongest encryption algorithms to date, namely AES256-CBC.

Secondly, you might also be happy to hear that this app comes with support for some of the most popular file sharing and cloud storage platforms out there, like Dropbox, Google Drive, One Drive, Box, NextCloud and OwnCloud.

Getting CrossCloud up and running on your computer should not pose any kind of difficulties even if you are a novice user. The application installs without any types of problems and in just a few seconds, after which it automatically integrates with the taskbar.

Forwards, you are required to undergo a simple configuration process. Just click its taskbar icon, add one or multiple cloud storage accounts and CrossCloud should automatically start synchronizing their content.

The interface is not what you would call customizable but, thanks to its small dimensions, it does a great job at not getting in your way when working. Built with simplicity in mind, you will not find plenty of options here.

From the app's compact tray window, by accessing the Settings section, you can easily get a clear reading on the status of your accounts, pause the sync process, change the sync directory or quit the app altogether.

It is also worth mentioning that from the same menu, you can encrypt or decrypt all your cloud files. It comes without saying that, in order to do this, you are required to type a password for this goal to be met.

Despite its early development stage, we have found CrossCloud to be stable enough for everyday use and very responsive during the period of our test.

With these in mind, we can safely say that CrossCloud is a user-friendly and very useful application that can be used just as efficiently by all category of users out there that want to make sure that their cloud-based data is as protected as possible.

This is the perfect time to point out that despite actively working on making the app as stable as possible, the development team also plan on adding other useful features. For example, one of its current drawbacks is the fact that it does not allow you to share the same folder on two different cloud services.

Last but not least, you should also know that CrossCloud currently works on Windows and macOS, with plans to make it available for Linux and two of the most popular mobile platforms, iOS and Android.
