What it solves
Security
Best for users evaluating CloudPairs for professional or sensitive file workflows.
OS keychain storage
Secrets are stored through the operating system credential store, not plain settings files.
OAuth where supported
Dropbox, OneDrive, and pCloud use browser authorization rather than passwords in the app.
Encrypted protocols preferred
SFTP, FTPS, HTTPS WebDAV, and HTTPS Synology endpoints are recommended over plain protocols.
Local credentials
CloudPairs does not need your cloud passwords on its public website to run desktop transfers.
