Easily connect all of your Google / Onedrive / Dropbox drives into one place! (Part 1)
Let’s say that you transfer stuff from one cloud drive to another and find it yourself a bit time-consuming. Your workflow will probably look like this: downloading from one cloud drive, waiting for it to finish, then re-uploading it to another cloud drive… Maybe time-consuming was an understatement. Especially if you use your home’s ISP network, which in general has slow speeds.
What you might not know is that the Seedbucket app comes preinstalled with your seedbox! Seedbucket is essentially an advanced file manager that runs from your browser (mobile/tablet friendly too!). How advanced you might wonder? How about adding a single cloud drive to your Seedbucket in just a few seconds? Then, you could transfer your files from and to your seedbox directly, without downloading locally!
The first thing you need to do is to add a cloud drive to your Seedbucket app. You could do this either from your sidebar or the cloud drives list. Whatever works for you!
Add a cloud drive from your sidebar
Hint: Your sidebar is always on the left of the page.
Steps
1. Click the New button, it has the “+” sign on it, at the sidebar on the left. If you haven’t added a cloud drive before, the button would be under your Torrent Client dashboard.
2. Now a window to add a new dashboard will open (more on this in another post). Click the “Add Storage drive” button on the bottom left.
3. Select the cloud drive type you want to connect. You will be automatically redirected to the selected cloud for signing in.
4. Fill in your credentials, accept and allow your cloud drive to be added to Seedbucket. Once finished, you will be redirected back to your Seedbucket.
5. You can choose, if you want encryption or not. Let’s keep things simple for now. Select “No” and click the “Done” button.
6. You will see the connected cloud drive with its details. If you haven’t added a cloud drive before, this would be the only cloud drive you will see in this window. You can close the window from the “X” icon on the top right. (We will cover the next steps of this in an upcoming post about creating dashboards.)
Add a cloud drive from your drives list
Hint: Here are listed all your cloud drives, seedboxes included. To access it follow these steps:
1. Click the user menu (it will read Hi, your username!) on the right top of the page
2. Click the settings option from the dropdown
3. Select the drives tab, the second one, to see the list
Steps
1. Click the “Add Storage drive” button. If you haven’t added a cloud drive before, you would only see your seedboxes here and the “Add Storage drive” button would be under the last of them
2. Select the cloud drive type you want to connect. You will be automatically redirected to the selected cloud for signing in
3. Fill in your credentials, accept and allow your cloud drive to be added to Seedbucket. Once finished, you will be redirected back to your Seedbucket
4. In this step you can choose, if you want encryption or not. Let’s keep things simple for now. Select “No” and click the “Done” button
5. You will see the added cloud drive under the last seedbox in the list
That was it! Easy-peasy! You have successfully added your cloud drive to your Seedbucket app! Now, what can you do with your connected cloud drives? Basically, everything! You can copy anything from your seedbox straight to this drive and vice versa (To do the opposite from Seedbucket, you first need to see your cloud drive content in a dashboard. Check how to do that in the second part of this post!).
Now you have a web-based file manager that has a lot of familiarities with your PC’s file manager plus your cloud drives! Plus you will be using our ultra-fast network for your transfers between them! You shouldn’t have a problem copying between your drives either, but more on another dedicated post!
Add as many cloud drives as you want to your Seedbucket app, there is no limitation! Also, as you might have seen, you can also add any FTP/SFTP drive as a cloud drive too!
Check our Seedbucket guide here for further guidance. Don’t hesitate to open a support ticket from your client area, if you have any questions. We will happily assist you!
Stay tuned for part 2, in which we’ll show you how to connect your cloud drive to a dashboard.

Cloud Manager…
We are thrilled to announce the general availability of version v1.2.4 of our “Seedbucket” web application. All existing Seedbucket installations have been already upgraded to the latest version!
This version includes many small bug fixes, improvements and feature additions from the previous general available version. Most of these fixes have been reported by our clients, which we thank for the helpful and positive feedback that we received from them all this time!
The most important new feature, is of course the possibility of adding custom “Dashboards” to the application, and including Cloud Storage support for these dashboards as well!
In detail:
You can mount multiple cloud storage accounts in your Seedbucket. For starters, we support Google Drive, DropBox and Onedrive
You can manage your files in your cloud drives within Seedbucket, as you would manage them within the interface of the cloud drive itself.
You can share files from your cloud drives, directly within Seedbucket
You can upload/download files to your cloud storage drive within Seedbucket from your PC directly
You can copy files between your seedbox and the cloud drives
You can copy files between your cloud drives
You can see the most important changes in Seedbucket, in the Changelog.
We hope that you’ll enjoy these new features as much as we did developing them. We are already working on many new improvements and features, including the following:
Split screen dashboards!
Fully responsive design and mobile version of the application
Drag and drop support for uploading files and torrents
Ability to mount FTP/SFTP drives and be able to copy files directly from them to all cloud drives and the seedbox filesystem!
