Clouds
Unified cloud management
Connect every account in one place
Google Drive, OneDrive, Aliyun Drive, Baidu Pan, 115, S3, WebDAV and more, all in one app. Browse, search, copy, move, rename and organise files across clouds from a single clean interface.
- Search across clouds
- S3 · WebDAV · SFTP
Columns and an inspector on iPad
iPad gets a Finder-style Columns view and a file inspector panel. With a keyboard attached you can drill through a large library one column at a time and read a file's properties without leaving the list. Four view modes — list, grid, gallery and columns — are a tap apart.
- Columns view
- Inspector panel
- Gallery thumbnails
Built into the Files app
A full File Provider extension puts your cloud files inside the iOS and iPadOS Files app,
and inside any app that uses the document picker. CloudDrive2 can also act as an external
player for other apps through the clouddrive:// URL scheme.

Media
Cinema-grade playback, straight from the cloud
A 60 GB disc image never has to come down to your phone. The player reads from the cloud, and decoding, menus, audio tracks and subtitles all come with it.
Emby & Jellyfin client with Direct Stream
Connect your own Emby or Jellyfin servers and browse libraries with posters, cast and Continue Watching. When your CloudDrive can reach the same file, Direct Stream plays it straight from the cloud — bypassing the server transcoder for full-quality playback of formats servers can't transcode, while watch history stays in sync.
On the server side there is also an Emby and Jellyfin companion plugin: live library updates, playback-aware prefetch, and path mappings that configure themselves.
- Direct Stream
- Watch history in sync
A serious media player
Hardware-accelerated decoding of H.264, H.265/HEVC and AV1, with HDR10, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision — including Dolby Vision playback of Profile 7 Blu-ray content. Picture-in-Picture, per-track audio and subtitle delay, subtitle styling and HDR subtitle brightness are all built in.
A Profile 7 disc carries two picture layers. CloudDrive2 reads both and composes the enhancement layer into the final picture, full enhancement layer (FEL) sources included, for the complete dual-layer Dolby Vision picture, not a base-layer-only render and not an HDR10 fallback.
- Dolby Vision P5 / 7 / 8
- HDR10+ · HLG
- Picture-in-Picture
Blu-ray ISOs with real disc menus
Play a Blu-ray ISO directly from cloud storage and navigate the native disc menu: scene selection, coloured shortcut keys, in-menu audio and subtitle setup, even 2D+3D combo discs.
Disc menus cover HDMV discs. On iPhone and iPad a BD-J (Java) disc plays the main feature directly; for BD-J menus, use Windows, the macOS direct download, Android or Meta Quest.
- HDMV menus
- 2D + 3D combo discs
- Scene selection
AI subtitle translation
Generate translated subtitles for any video. CloudDrive2 translates the existing subtitle track first — including PGS bitmap subtitles read by on-device OCR — and falls back to speech recognition when there is none. Use Apple's on-device translation models, which are free and keep the audio on your device, or bring your own API. Generated subtitles are saved next to the video, ready to reuse on your other devices.

Multichannel, Dolby Atmos and audiophile DSD
Dolby Atmos (Dolby Digital Plus) bitstreams to your AVR over HDMI. TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio and DTS decode in full and reach multichannel USB DACs, HDMI adapters and AirPlay 2 as 5.1 or 7.1 — never folded down to stereo. AirPods Pro and Max get head-tracked spatial audio instead.
DSD files (.dsf, .dff) and SACD ISOs stream straight from the cloud, including true 5.1 multichannel DSD, and DoP output feeds compatible DACs bit-perfectly. Lock the screen and the music keeps playing.
DSD64 through DSD1024 are all supported. How far DoP and Native DSD actually go is set by the DAC you connect — the app outputs to what the DAC itself reports, and anything beyond that is converted to PCM.
- DSD64 → DSD1024
- SACD ISO
- TrueHD · DTS-HD MA

A multi-gigabyte PDF, open in seconds
The streaming PDF reader never pulls the whole book down. It fetches only the byte range the pages on screen actually need, so a multi-gigabyte art book typically goes from tap to first page in seconds — no waiting for a download, and no complete copy left on the device.
Turning pages, zooming and jumping through the outline all fetch on demand. Page thumbnails, bookmarks and reading-position memory are all there.
- Fetches pages on demand
- No full download

Backup
Photos and files, backed up on their own
Back up the photos, videos and files on this iPhone or iPad to one or more clouds. The source has to be added as a local folder first before a backup can use it.
-
Add the local folder
On the Cloud Storages page, click Add Cloud Storage and pick Local Folder under Local Storages. The photo library is at
/Documents/Photos— pick that for photos and videos only, or its parent/Documentsto take the app’s other files along with them. You are asked for photo library permission the first time. -
Create the backup
On the Backups page, click Add Backup, set the source to the local folder you just added, and name one or more cloud directories as destinations — several clouds at once is fine.
-
Turn on File System Watcher
Enable it in the backup's settings and it monitors the source folder in real time, so new photos, new videos and newly saved files are backed up on their own.
Create an encrypted folder on the cloud first and choose it as the destination: photos and files are encrypted on the device before upload, and what the provider stores is ciphertext with no way to read the originals. The password stays on the device and is never synced to our servers.
The photo library is read on demand: an original is pulled from the system library only when the backup uploads it and released straight afterwards, so the library is never duplicated into the app’s own storage. Full steps are on the help page.
More
The rest of what you'll use daily
Movie library metadata
Reads your local .nfo files and poster, fanart and logo artwork in Plex, Jellyfin and Emby naming. No online scraping — your library stays private.
Cross-cloud transfers
Copy or move files between providers. The transfer manager handles pause, resume, retry, throttling and concurrency, and uploads whole folders recursively.
Security
Two-factor authentication, encrypted folders and session monitoring, with API tokens that grant scoped, expiring access.
A WebDAV server of its own
Your iPhone or iPad is itself a WebDAV server: every cloud you have connected is served over a standard protocol, so third-party apps on the same network — players, file managers, backup tools — read your cloud content directly without signing in to each provider again.
And these
Disk cache with configurable eviction for offline access, four view modes, opening files in Infuse, VLC or nPlayer, background audio, dark and light themes, English and Chinese interfaces.

How to install
Browsing clouds, managing files and basic playback need no extra purchase. The advanced playback features — HDR and Dolby Vision, DSD, ISO disc playback (Blu-ray, DVD and SACD), AI subtitle translation and the media client (Emby and Jellyfin) — need the one-time App Pro in-app purchase. App Pro is tied to your CloudDrive account, not to a device or a store. Buy it once and it is unlocked wherever you sign in with that account — iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, Vision Pro, Android and Meta Quest alike. See plans and pricing.
Everything on this page is what the app does today. CloudDrive2 is under active development, and what cloud providers and platforms allow changes too, so features can change or be withdrawn without notice.
