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
Step 1: Log in MultCloud. First you should ensure that you have MultCloud account and have already added cloud drive(s) in MultCloud.
Step 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: High Speed Search and Normal Search. Some clouds provide a quick search function. You will see these clouds by clicking on the High Speed Search, and it will take less time. Other clouds will also provide a general search function. You can find it through Normal Search, but it will take more time.
