OneDrive sync is not cross-cloud file management

Microsoft's OneDrive client keeps files in sync with one local folder. Moving OneDrive → S3, browsing two OneDrive accounts side-by-side, or bulk-selecting files for SFTP upload isn't what the sync client is built for. An onedrive file manager needs OAuth, visual folders, and a second pane for the destination — whether that is Dropbox, R2, or a remote server. Office workers and IT teams still juggle browser tabs and export scripts when they need cross-cloud delivery or nightly backup off Microsoft's silo.

Sign in with Microsoft — manage in dual pane

CloudPairs uses Microsoft OAuth with PKCE — no client secret on your machine. Works with personal @outlook.com and Microsoft 365 work/school accounts on Windows 10/11 and macOS 13+. Browse OneDrive in either pane and copy to S3, Dropbox, local disk, or SFTP. Folder uploads and recursive copy run through the queue with retry. Tokens live in your OS keychain. Start with a 14-day Pro trial, no credit card, then $12/mo for automation and unlimited connections.
