Upload several folders ​

CloudDrop can upload more than one folder, each to a cloud of its own: for example ~/CloudDrop to Google Drive and ~/Work to a Nextcloud. This needs version 0.3.0 or later.

Add another folder ​

  1. Open the main menu and select Add Another Folder…. The same button is in Settings, under Upload another folder.

  2. Pick the cloud this folder uploads to and select Continue.

    Your other folders carry on as they are.

  3. Under Folder to upload, select Change… and choose the folder on your computer.

  4. Check the folder name in the cloud and select Continue.

  5. Sign in or fill in the connection details, as in Connect a cloud.

Switch between folders ​

The window shows one folder at a time and lets you switch between them. The top-bar icon lists every folder. On Windows, each folder is a cloud folder of its own in File Explorer.

Appearance settings (style and accent color) are the same for every folder. Other settings, such as automatic space saving and kept folders, belong to the folder you are viewing.

Remove a folder ​

  1. Switch to the folder you want to stop uploading.

  2. Open Settings and select Remove This Folder… under Stop uploading this folder.

  3. Confirm with Remove Folder.

Removing a folder stops uploading it and forgets its settings. Nothing is deleted on your computer or in the cloud.

WARNING

Removing a folder also forgets which of its files are cloud-only. Download anything you still need from the Files page before you remove it, or fetch it later from your cloud's own website.

From a terminal ​

bash
clouddrop connections            # list every folder and its cloud
clouddrop connections add NAME   # add one (then: clouddrop login --connection NAME)
clouddrop connections remove NAME
clouddrop status --all

Every command accepts --connection NAME. Without it, a command works on the folder that holds the path you give it.
