CloudBerry Explorer

CloudBerry Explorer is a Windows file manager for cloud storage from MSP360 (formerly CloudBerry Lab). It shows your computer and your Zata buckets side by side, so you can copy files between them.

For scheduled, managed backups of servers and workstations, use MSP360 Managed Backup instead.

Before you start
