The app offers a set of great features to let you easily handle cloud data management. Download and upload files to and from OpenStack cloud accounts with just a couple of clicks.

Login details are securely kept in macOS Keychain and are only used to log in to the corresponding accounts. Logging into the cloud accounts is performed through their standard APIs.
