Today I want to introduce, CloudCube, a content management in the cloud available for Android . CloudCube not have as many requirements as Cloudii, of which I spoke, that only works on ICS class=”caps”> or higher, since the minimum operating system version to work with Android 2.3 is CloudCube 0.3 or higher.

Like Cluidii

?? CloudCube is free and supports, at the moment, an extra service, Yandex Disk, we saw while on Engadget. Eight GB of free storage are always interesting even if they are in Russian. Furthermore, applications like CloudCube, that language barrier is partly overcome, although the program interface is our language , but English itself is within reach of most.

Working with CloudCube

first need to download the application from Google Play. Installation is quick, since the executable weighs about 2 MB . Once it is on your machine, we can choose to control storage services (Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, Skydrive and Yandex Disk).

Service Selection

first service selection, we need only click on “Available storages” when empty jumps directly to the option to “add” . For the rest, click on the Actions Control and then on the last option that appears in the “Select Action”: “ Add Storage “.

For them, we enter our credentials and authorize to the application to manage each of the services. As we are adding these are incorporated into a side bar located on the left of the screen. This division can alternate with the control located at the top left of the screen, symbolized by three horizontal lines.

Access to services

Pulsed

in the left sidebar on each of the icons representing the service, will open the directory tree corresponding , by which we can navigate a touch. A bar crumbs at the top under the blue band, we informed at all times about where we are. The root directory is represented by a slash to the right.

Within the same sidebar, at the top and green have three controls for loading / unloading, synchronization and manual download . When you click on one of them, will be in white, and act, of course, on the service listed as an asset, highlighted in black versus gray general.

Load

cloud content

Operation is very simple . If we want to upload files to a service, click on the middle button, “Select Action”, “Create folder”, if we want to create a new folder, or “Add files”, if we want to upload individual files or groups.

Clicking on “Add Files”, will display the local directory tree , from which we will choose what we want to climb. We can mark as we please, validating the action with the green button on the top of the sub-loading screen.

Files are placed in a queue in the background , we can monitor control visiting “Activate”. Meanwhile, we continue to work with CloudCube, in the same storage service or any other.

CloudCube

has a rather basic representation of the stored files and has no preview images, for example. PDF files or spreadsheets if they have their own representation. The files do not “understand” are symbolized by a generic icon.


Configuration Options

As for settings, and change the interface language, you can change the cache folder or clean it . The other options allow you to export and import settings to or from CloudCube-fiche-one external, and make a single backup reserved of each storage service.


CloudCube, conclusions

CloudCube

not the only deal available for this purpose, but does its job well, is easy to use and the application is free. Another interesting feature is the ability to index content stored , for quick searches. These are to do likewise, but saves time indexing.

On the dark side, although this is in taste, the interface is somewhat “bland” and sometimes slow . When I tried to add more accounts Skydrive has given me an error. I repeated the test several times with the same result.

CloudCube is to offer centralized management of cloud storage, which is useful if you accounts services accessed by .
