Air Explorer review
A broad WebDAV manager with synchronization, scheduling and automation.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Air Explorer is a file manager for Windows, macOS and Android that connects to WebDAV and other cloud-storage services. It is suited to people who need to manage multiple cloud accounts, move files between services and devices, synchronize folders, or automate recurring transfers and backups. Its scope extends beyond WebDAV, with support for Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, Mega, S3, FTP, SFTP, Nextcloud and ownCloud. File search, sharing and multi-account management add everyday file-management functions alongside transfers.
The published plans show a free Basic tier and two paid options. Basic includes one account per cloud, read-only access, two simultaneous downloads and two simultaneous uploads. Pro costs $21 per year with annual billing and adds unlimited cloud accounts, unlimited synchronization, scheduled synchronization and transfers, command-line support and encryption. Pro Lifetime costs $42 as a one-time purchase and includes the same Pro features plus future updates. For recurring synchronization, scheduled jobs, automation or encryption, the paid tiers are the relevant choices rather than Basic.
Air Explorer’s strongest fit is a mixed cloud environment where WebDAV access needs to work alongside services such as S3, SFTP or Nextcloud. Folder synchronization can run between cloud accounts, computers and devices, while scheduled transfers, synchronizations and backups support repeatable workflows. Client-side file encryption on upload adds a specific protection option, and the Windows, macOS and Android coverage spans desktop and mobile file management. Choose it for broad account management and automation; choose another option if read-write work must fit within a free plan or if drive mounting is required, since that capability belongs to Air Live Drive rather than Air Explorer.
