Connect Your First Cloud Storage
Step-by-step guide to connect Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, or a local NAS.
Step-by-step walkthrough:
-
Open the Storage Manager
In the left sidebar of Ultra Explorer, click "Storages" then select the "New Storage" button in the upper right.
-
Choose Your Provider
Open the provider selector (or use the built-in search bar) and pick your service from 42+ categorized options (Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Amazon S3, Proton Drive, MEGA, Backblaze B2, pCloud, SMB/CIFS NAS, etc.). Give it a memorable label (e.g., "Personal-OneDrive").
-
Authorize via Browser or Credentials
For major consumer clouds, Ultra Explorer automatically launches your browser to log in via official, secure OAuth. For local SMB shares or SFTP servers, enter the host, port, and credentials in the wizard.
Tip :No plaintext passwords are ever exposed. Only secure tokens or encrypted configs are saved into your local rclone.conf file.
