How do you manage cloud accounts alongside My Cloud Home?

been using My Cloud Home for local storage for a while now and it works well as the main hub. but i also have files spread across google drive onedrive and dropbox from different periods of work and personal use

the thing that gets annoying is moving files between the cloud services when i want to reorganise. going from google drive to onedrive always means downloading locally first which is slow

been trying out a free tool called All Cloud Hub (allcloudhub.com) that connects all three into one dashboard so you can move files between clouds without downloading locally. nothing stored on their servers, uses oauth. free plan covers up to 3 accounts

curious how others here handle this. do you keep everything on My Cloud and just use cloud services as secondary or actively manage files across both

Is this the device you have? WD MY Cloud Home

What Computer and OS are you using?

@cat0w yes thats the one, WD My Cloud Home Single Bay

running Windows 11 on my main machine. use the My Cloud Home mostly for storing large files and media locally, then google drive and onedrive for work documents and sharing stuff with others

the cloud to cloud moving part was the main thing i needed sorted since reorganising files across services was taking forever with the download and reupload approach. All Cloud Hub sorted that part out pretty well

do you use your My Cloud Home alongside any cloud services or keep everything local?

I don’t own a My Cloud Home. I have two WDMYCLOUDS, a 1st generation now used on my home network only and a 2nd generation WDMYCLOUD that uses OS5. I usually use drag and drop to move files from one device to another, that includes my computers too.
