What is new in CloudPool.

Every release, newest first. Install a new version over the old one; your login and accounts stay.

2.0.1

Latest download

CloudPool opens again

  • 2.0.0 stopped at "Starting CloudPool" and never opened its window. Everything behind the window kept working, so syncs, jobs and transfers carried on; only the window could not start. This release fixes it.
  • If you are on 2.0.0, download this version from the download page and install it over the old one: the update button lives in the window that would not open.

2.0.0

Sign in with Google, and your drives for AI apps

  • You sign in with your Google account now. The first screen has one button, Continue with Google: your browser opens CloudPool's sign-in page, you pick your account, and CloudPool comes back signed in. The same Google account opens the same drives on every computer, on the phone web app and in the Android app. There is no CloudPool password to make or forget.
  • Already have a CloudPool login? Nothing is lost. Sign in with Google, then open your account page and bring the old login over once with its username and password: every account, drive, share link and setting comes along. The old password then stops working, and computers still signed in with it ask you to sign in with Google.
  • Claude and other AI apps can use your drives. Make an API key on your account page and connect the CloudPool MCP server to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code. They can list, read, search, save, move and share files, only as far as the key allows. A REST API does the same for your own scripts, and more.
  • This computer answers for the accounts only it can open. OneDrive, Dropbox, buckets, NAS boxes and disks are reached through CloudPool on your computer while it is open, so AI apps and scripts see every account. Turn it off in Settings, Answer MCP and API calls.
  • App lock asks for a passcode you choose for this computer, since a Google login has no password. Touch ID works as before.
  • How your login is kept has changed, and the security page says exactly how: your account list is still stored encrypted, and the CloudPool website now holds the key to it, which is what makes signing in with Google and the MCP server possible.

1.9.2

Check the pieces, and know before you connect

  • A big file is kept as numbered pieces, and you can now check they are all still there. Right-click any file and choose Check the pieces. It reads the index and counts what is underneath the drive without downloading anything, so it answers just as quickly on a 40 GB file. It tells you if a piece has gone missing, which is what happens when an account is disconnected or expires.
  • It is honest about what it checked: every piece present and the right length, not that the bytes inside them are undamaged.
  • Some services now say what you are in for before you connect them. TeraBox explains that it has no public API and that files over 4 GB are stored as unencrypted pieces. Google Drive mentions the shared sign-in key, but only while you are actually using it: once you have your own key the note is gone, because it would no longer be true.
  • The note also counts what you already have, so a fourth account of the same service says so. Services with nothing worth warning about show nothing at all.

1.9.1

Sync skips what a project rebuilds

  • Folders a project makes for itself are no longer synced. Installed dependencies and build caches such as node_modules, vendor, .venv, __pycache__, .next, .gradle and DerivedData are enormous, change on every build, and are worth nothing without the project that made them. Syncing a folder of code should now be quick instead of tens of thousands of files.
  • A repository's .git folder is skipped too. It is a database, not a pile of files, and syncing one two-way between computers can leave it unusable. Version control belongs to your remote, not to your drive.
  • Only names that mean one thing are skipped. A folder called Build, Target, Dist or Vendors is as likely to be your own work, so those keep syncing as before.
  • Nothing already in your drive is removed. The rule hides these folders from both sides at once, so copies you have already uploaded stay exactly where they are; they simply stop being checked.

1.9.0

A face of its own

  • CloudPool has a logo, and the app is built around it. Two colours run through everything now: the mark's blue and the deep navy of the wordmark. Surfaces are cool rather than warm, text is navy rather than near-black, and the reservoir gauge fills in the brand blue.
  • A new icon in the Dock, the Start menu and your app list, and a new glyph in the menu bar and notification area, all drawn from the logo itself.
  • The accent starts out as CloudPool blue. If you never changed it, you get the new colour. Teal is still on the list in Settings, Appearance, so if you picked it on purpose it stays exactly as it was, and you can switch back to it any time.
  • Nothing about your accounts, drives, syncs or jobs changes in this release: it is the look, and only the look.

1.8.0

A phone that backs itself up

  • Your phone can now send its new photos by itself, every night. In Migrate & Sync, Sync, switch on Let this phone back itself up, scan the code with the phone, and follow six steps once in the Shortcuts app. After that the phone hands its new photos to CloudPool on its own, with nothing to tap.
  • No web page can read a phone's photo library, which is why the app has to ask you to pick. The Shortcuts app can, with one grant, so this is the way to have it run unattended without an app from the App Store.
  • Photos land in Sync / your phone / Photos, the same folder the phone web app uses, and anything already in your drive is skipped. Everything stays on your own Wi-Fi: the door answers one random address, only devices on your network, and closes when you switch it off or quit.
  • On the phone, Full sync and Full migrate now open the picker straight away instead of asking twice.

1.7.0

A folder as a wall of pictures

  • Two buttons at the top right of a folder switch between the list and a grid of tiles, and CloudPool remembers which you prefer. Photos, videos, Illustrator and Photoshop files, PDFs, Word and Keynote all show what is actually in them.
  • It is the same machinery as the preview, so a file drawn for its tile opens full size instantly when you press space, and the other way round. A folder you have already looked at comes back in a blink.
  • Files too big to be worth fetching for a tile keep their icon, and a file nothing can draw is remembered as such, so a folder is never slowed down by the same file twice.
  • A drive's private folder is drawn into a folder belonging to this run of the app, wiped when CloudPool locks or closes, so encrypted files leave nothing behind on the computer.

1.6.0

Look at a file without downloading it

  • Press space on a file and it opens in the window. Photos, PDFs, text and code, video and music that play, and on a Mac anything Quick Look can draw: Illustrator, Photoshop, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Pages, Keynote, HEIC and camera raw. The arrow keys move through the folder, Esc closes, and Preview sits next to Download when you pick a file.
  • Illustrator files open as pages you can zoom, because an .ai file is nearly always a PDF underneath and CloudPool looks. EPS is shown from the preview picture saved inside the file.
  • It is built to be quick. Every file you look at is kept on this computer, so looking again is instant, and the files either side of the one on screen are fetched quietly while you look, so the arrow keys rarely wait.
  • Files with nothing to show, and files too big to be worth fetching, say so and offer to open with the app on your computer instead.
  • On the phone, the Sync tab now offers four ways to send a phone up: Full sync and Custom sync copy and leave everything where it is, Full migrate and Custom migrate do the same and then show what is safely in your drive, how much room deleting it frees, and the steps for that phone. The web app is always the newest one, so this is there now.

1.5.0

CloudPool updates itself

  • A new version now arrives in CloudPool. When one is out, the sidebar says so. Press it and CloudPool downloads the version for your computer, checks it against the checksum published here, then closes and opens again as the new one. Your login, accounts, drives and settings stay exactly as they are, and a drive you had open comes back by itself.
  • On a Mac the new app replaces the old one and the old one is put back if anything goes wrong. On Windows the installer runs quietly, with no administrator prompt, and starts CloudPool again. An AppImage swaps itself for the new file. A .deb needs an administrator, so CloudPool downloads it and shows it to you instead.
  • Settings, About tells you which version you have and when CloudPool last looked, and Check now looks again. The menu bar offers the update too.
  • Nothing downloads or installs on its own: CloudPool only looks once a day, and waits for you.

1.4.2

The files you already have

  • Connect an account you already use, and what is in it is in your drive at once. A TeraBox with 30 GB of films in it shows those folders the moment it joins, and a window you have open follows along by itself instead of waiting for a refresh. That holds for every drive: adding, reconnecting or moving an account reloads what you are looking at.
  • Connecting is quicker. A sign-in is already told how full the account is, and CloudPool now keeps that answer instead of asking the service a second time. TeraBox is asked who, how full and what is in it in one round of calls.
  • A TeraBox sign-in now also shows what is at the top of the account it found (Already in it: Videos, Images, Documents and 5 more), so you can tell it apart from an empty new one before anything is added.

1.4.1

The right TeraBox account

  • Connecting TeraBox could add the wrong account. TeraBox makes a new, empty account when it does not recognise the way you sign in, for example Google when your files live under an email login, and CloudPool connected that one without a word. It looked as though the files in your TeraBox had gone.
  • A TeraBox sign-in now ends by showing the account it found, with its name and how much of it is used, and nothing is added until you agree. When the account is empty it says so and offers Sign in again.
  • The sign-in window also explains how to reach an account that has no email yet (bind an email and password in TeraBox settings first), and how to paste the ndus cookie from a browser when that is the only way in.

1.4.0

Drives, 59 services, and much more to do with them

  • Drives. Create several drives, such as Personal, Work and Media, each with its own accounts and its own disk in Finder, File Explorer or on Linux. Any drive or single account opens in its own window.
  • 59 storage services instead of three: more cloud drives such as OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, pCloud, iCloud Drive, Proton Drive and GitHub; Amazon S3 and 17 other S3-compatible services, Backblaze B2, Google Cloud Storage, Azure, Swift and Storj; Nextcloud, ownCloud, WebDAV, SFTP, FTP, SMB and disks on your computer.
  • Small-file and big-file accounts replace the fixed rule of MEGA and Google Drive for small files and TeraBox for big ones. Any account can take either role, and files over 3.5 GB are split across big-file accounts.
  • Two-way sync. Changes flow both ways, conflicts keep both copies, and deleted files wait 30 days in the drive's Deleted files folder or go to the computer's Trash. Several computers can share one synced folder, any folder can back up one way instead, and Pause all stops syncing until you resume.
  • Scheduled jobs copy, mirror, move or check files between folders, drives and accounts, with filters by name, size and age, schedules, bulk actions and the last 25 runs of each job.
  • Photo libraries and web folders (iCloud Photos, Google Photos and Web folder (HTTP)) as sources for jobs and comparisons, for example to copy iCloud Photos into a drive every night.
  • Compare folders side by side, copy the differences either way, and export the result as CSV.
  • Private folders, one per drive, encrypted on your computer before upload with rclone crypt, names included, and shown as a disk of their own if you like.
  • Alerts as desktop notifications, email, or messages in Slack, Discord or Telegram, with rules for problems only, quiet hours, a daily summary, low space and accounts that need signing in again.
  • Remote control from Telegram, Discord or Slack: status, start a sync, pause, run a job.
  • Command line: a cloudpool command for scripts and terminals on Mac, Windows and Linux.
  • Speed limits for uploads and downloads, optionally only at set hours, and a choice of how many files move at once.
  • Detailed logs with filters, and a debug level when you need it.
  • App lock with your CloudPool password, or Touch ID on a Mac.
  • Themes: light, dark or following the system, with accent colors.
  • Drives come back by themselves after a restart or when the computer wakes from sleep.
  • A new website, with Features, Integrations, Pricing, Security and this changelog.

1.3.0

Migrate and Sync

  • Migrate & Sync replaces Move Mac, with a switch at the top of the page.
  • Migrate moves folders off the computer to free up space, as Move Mac did. New: Select everything, and Another folder for folders anywhere, such as an external disk.
  • Sync keeps your folders on the computer with a live copy in Drive / Sync / your computer's name. New and changed files go up a few seconds after you save them, and files you delete or replace are kept in Deleted files for 30 days.
  • Phones sync too: the Sync tab in the phone web app sends photos, videos and files into Drive / Sync / your phone's name, skipping what is already there.
  • The phone web app has a proper Add to Home Screen button, with the steps for iOS 26.

1.2.0

Windows, Linux and phones

  • Windows (64-bit, 32-bit and ARM) and Linux (.deb and AppImage, x86_64 and ARM64). On Windows the drive can appear as a drive letter once WinFsp is installed; on Linux it mounts as a folder.
  • Phone web app at cloudpool.vercel.app/app: sign in on an iPhone or Android phone to browse, upload, download and share, with your computer switched off.
  • A website with a setup guide, answers to common questions, and a privacy page.
  • Delete login in Settings erases your login, your encrypted account list and your share links from the server.
  • A quiet notice in the sidebar when a newer version is out.

1.1.0

One drive and share links

  • One drive made of every account: small files to MEGA and Google Drive, big ones to TeraBox, and files over 3.5 GB in pieces across TeraBox accounts.
  • CloudPool share links instead of raw TeraBox or MEGA links, with a page listing every link you shared.
  • Move Mac moves a Mac's own folders into the drive.
  • The window shows the one drive, with pages for links, accounts and Move Mac.

1.0.0 to 1.0.2

The first CloudPool

  • Pools many Google Drive, MEGA and TeraBox accounts on a Mac.
  • Nearby: Wi-Fi sharing with other computers and with phones running the LocalSend app.
  • A sync server, so one login works on every Mac.
  • An Intel build next to the Apple Silicon one.
  • Clear messages when Google sign-in fails, and a wrong Google key is caught before it is saved.
  • The engine's password stays out of the process list, and CloudPool copes when the Keychain refuses.

Installers for every version, with release notes, are on GitHub.
