To use MultCloud to help you manage several cloud drives, such as Google Drive, Box, Dropbox, Amazon S3, SugarSync and OneDrive, you should add these cloud storage services to MultCloud first. This article is about this. Next, I will show you how to add cloud storage services to MultCloud and how to remove cloud services from MultCloud.
To add cloud storage services to MultCloud:- Sign up and sign in to MultCloud.
- Then you will see the main interface as in the following picture. You can click the "Connect Your First Cloud Service"; button in the middle of the interface or click the "Add Cloud Drives"; button on the left top panel to go to the next page to start adding cloud storage service.
- After you click one of mentioned buttons, you will see this select page: "Select a cloud to add". Here, take "Dropbox"; for example, select it first, then click "Next" button.

Tips:
- When you are adding Dropbox to MultCloud, you do not need to enter your Dropbox account's username and password because the authorization system of MultCloud is based on OAuth, which is a standard authorization framework that enables third party applications to build up a connection to HTTPS services without username and password required. However, there are exceptions. For example: SugarSync, WebDav and FTP, when you are adding them to MultCloud, which need you to enter the email address and password of these accounts. (see picture below)
- Another complex situation is adding Amazon S3 to MultCloud that need you to enter your Bucket Name, Access Key ID and Secret Access Key. For how to get them, please visit How to get your AWS Access Key ID and Secret Access Key.
