Jumptuit Gives You One App and Search for All Your Cloud Services

Jumptuit Gives You One App and Search for All Your Cloud Services


Windows/OS X/iOS/Android/WP: If you have multiple cloud storage accounts and files scattered across all of them, Jumptuit is a new service that offers a single master account for all of them, a unified search box to search all of them, and one app you can use to browse, stream, or move files around all of them.


Jumptuit connects to services like Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, Box, and others, and once they're all connected, you can use the Jumptuit app to find music files, photos, movies, or other document in any of them. You can open files in the Jumptuit app (like music and movies,) or move it from one device to another or one cloud account to another, which is especially useful. For example, you can stream movies from Dropbox or music from Box in the same app on any device, and copy documents from OneDrive to Google Drive quickly.


The service has native apps for the iPhone and iPad, Android phones and tablets, OS X, Windows and Windows Phone, and a webapp you can use for access where the native apps aren't installed. I asked a rep from the service how they would protect user privacy (considering access to multiple cloud services is asking for a lot, frankly) and they noted that Jumptuit never sees your password for any of the services, and only log in through third-party authentication services (Facebook Connect, Twitter, Google, OAuth, other APIs), and the app explains its required permissions before connecting to any service.


Here's the catch: Jumptuit is free for any combination of four devices and cloud services. If you want more or try the app and want to connect multiple services, it'll set you back $10/mo or $100/yr. If you don't use a ton of devices, or you only have a few cloud services, it can help—but the more you use, the less useful it is, and the price is fairly hefty.
