Transfer files
cloud to cloud
Copy directly between two cloud accounts or servers — S3 → Google Drive, R2 → Wasabi, SFTP → S3 — without filling your laptop disk as a middleman.
The download-upload loop wastes time and disk
Moving 500 GB from S3 to Google Drive usually means: download everything locally, then upload again. That burns bandwidth twice, needs free disk space, and breaks on sleep or flaky Wi‑Fi. Scripts like rclone work but lack a visual queue and mix poorly with OAuth clouds. cloud to cloud file transfer should stream between providers from one desktop app with retry and per-file progress — whether you need an s3 to google drive transfer, dropbox to s3 copy, or SFTP → R2 ingest.
Dual-pane + queue = true cloud-to-cloud
Connect both endpoints in CloudPairs on Windows 10/11 or macOS 13+. Open source in the left pane, destination in the right — copy, drag, or enqueue folder jobs. The transfer queue handles cloud-to-cloud paths across S3, R2, Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, pCloud, SFTP, FTP, WebDAV, Synology, and Samba. Optional bandwidth limits and cron automation for recurring syncs. Credentials in your OS keychain. Free 14-day Pro trial, no credit card, then $12/mo for automation and unlimited connections.
