Integrate DragonDisk with IDrive e2
DragonDisk is a free, cross-platform S3 client that offers a Windows Explorer–like interface for managing, syncing, and transferring files across cloud storage accounts. It supports backup, directory synchronization, file transfers between providers, as well as advanced functions like metadata editing, encryption, compression, and job queueing, making it a practical tool for both personal and business use. Integrating DragonDisk with IDrive® e2 extends these capabilities with a scalable, secure, and cost-effective cloud object storage solution.
