CloudRaft — a MultCloud alternative
If you're looking for a MultCloud alternative, the question is usually whether you want a broad multi-cloud dashboard or a clean one-time move. MultCloud does a lot — many clouds, sync, sharing. CloudRaft does one thing deliberately well: copy the files you choose from one cloud to another, on our servers, copy-only, for a one-time price.
What MultCloud is
MultCloud is a long-established, web-based multi-cloud manager that connects 30+ services and offers cloud-to-cloud transfer plus several sync modes, sold as a monthly/yearly subscription (with data caps on lower tiers) or a one-time lifetime license.
CloudRaft vs MultCloud, side by side
| CloudRaft | MultCloud | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | One-time prepaid passes — pay once for the data you move. No subscription, no recurring charge. | Monthly/yearly subscription (with monthly data caps on lower tiers) or a one-time lifetime license. |
| Free tier | Copy up to 10 GB free, no card required. | Free tier with a monthly transfer cap. |
| What it's built for | Clean one-time cloud-to-cloud copying between Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, and self-hosted clouds. | A broad multi-cloud manager: transfer plus two-way sync, sharing, and 30+ connected services. |
| Copy-only safety | Copy-only, enforced in code — it can never delete, move, or change your source files. | Offers transfer and sync (sync can change both sides); you choose the mode. |
| Your file contents | Stream between the two clouds through our worker and are never written to our disks; every file is verified at the destination. | Transfers server-side between your connected clouds. |
| Hosting & jurisdiction | EU-hosted (database in Ireland, workers in Amsterdam), operated by a registered European company. No ad tracking, no profiling, no data brokers. | Operated by a Hong Kong–based company, with its own privacy terms — review on their site. If data jurisdiction matters to you, that difference is worth weighing. |
| Done-for-you option | Yes — concierge from $299: we run the whole migration and send a checksum report proving every file landed. | No managed/done-for-you migration service. |

Where CloudRaft is the better choice
A one-time move with simple one-time pricing, copy-only safety, and EU privacy — without a subscription or working out monthly data caps.
Questions
What is CloudRaft?
CloudRaft is a copy-only cloud-to-cloud file mover. It copies the files you choose between Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, and self-hosted clouds (like Nextcloud) on its own servers — nothing downloads to your computer — and it never deletes, moves, or changes your source files.
What does CloudRaft cost?
You can copy up to 10 GB free, no card required. Beyond that you buy a one-time prepaid pass — a fixed amount of data for a one-time price. There's no subscription.
Is CloudRaft really copy-only?
Yes — it's enforced in code, not just policy. The source connection is read-only, so CloudRaft can read your files to copy them but physically cannot delete, move, or modify anything in your source cloud.
Is CloudRaft cheaper than MultCloud?
It depends on your use. MultCloud is a subscription (or a lifetime license) priced for ongoing multi-cloud management. CloudRaft charges a one-time pass for the data you move, with the first 10 GB free — so for a one-off migration you pay once and you're done, with no recurring bill.
Does CloudRaft sync clouds two-way like MultCloud?
No — and that's deliberate. CloudRaft is copy-only: it copies the files you choose in one direction and never changes your source. If you specifically need continuous two-way sync across many clouds, MultCloud is the better fit. If you're switching clouds once, copy-only is safer.
Is CloudRaft safe to give cloud access to?
CloudRaft uses narrow permissions — it only ever reads the files you choose and writes copies to your destination. It never deletes or changes your source files, it doesn't store your files on its servers, and it's hosted in the EU. You can verify all of this with the free 10 GB test before paying anything.
Where is CloudRaft hosted?
In the EU (Amsterdam), operated by a registered European company. MultCloud is a Hong Kong–based service. If data jurisdiction matters to you, that difference is worth weighing.
Can CloudRaft move between the same clouds as MultCloud?
CloudRaft supports Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, and WebDAV-based clouds like Nextcloud, Synology, and pCloud. MultCloud supports more services overall. For the most common consumer and small-business routes, both work; for niche clouds, check MultCloud.
