There is a quick search bar in MultCloud's interface that helps the users to instantly locate a certain file among multiple cloud drives. Once a keyword is entered, MultCloud will immediately filter the related files throughout all the cloud drives. In this way, all the different cloud drives can be seen as a whole one.

To search the specified files or folders across cloud services with MultCloud:
  1. Log in MultCloud. First you should ensure that you have MultCloud account and have already added cloud drive(s) in MultCloud.
  2. After clicking the quick search bar on the right top of MultCloud interface. You will see the following layout. Click the drop-down symbol, there will be two search types: Quick Search and General Search.

    Some clouds provide a quick search function. You will see these clouds by clicking on the Quick Search, and the quick search will take less time. Other clouds will also provide a general search function. You can find it through General Search, but the general search will take more time.
