AtomBox

English | 简体中文

AtomBox is a desktop application for remote storage management and file transfers.

Built with AtomUI, it brings OSS, FTP/SFTP, WebDAV, and other remote storage services into one interface. You can add accounts, browse remote files, upload and download files, and monitor transfer queues and history.

AtomBox organizes its main features in the navigation menu:

The Home page provides a quick overview of the current AtomBox status.

It shows:
