Your mail.com Cloud on your computer

If you want to save a document or photo in your Cloud, you probably usually take the long way through by logging into your mail.com account in your favorite web browser. But there is a way to make it quicker: With the mail.com Cloud for Windows and macOS, you can use your Cloud just like a regular folder on your computer.

Sounds good, right? And thanks to the new update, the Cloud on your computer now works even faster and more smoothly.

What’s new in this update

This update brings several technical improvements: Files not only open much faster, they’re also better integrated into your file system. And with the new activity window, you always know which processes are running in your Cloud.

Here’s what has changed:

1. Opening and saving files is now much faster

Previously, opening or saving a file could take a few seconds until everything was fully loaded. With the update, we’ve introduced an new connection mode. This allows your Cloud to use the same system access as your local hard drive. As a result, opening, moving, and saving files now works with virtually no delay – just as if they were already located on your computer.

2. The Cloud now appears as a normal folder

From now on, both Windows and macOS will display your Cloud not as an external drive, but as a regular folder in your file manager. This means you can move files back and forth using drag and drop. Files are no longer copied by default; they’re actually moved, just like you’re used to with other folders.
 

3. The new status icons show what’s happening

In Finder (Mac) and File Explorer (Windows), you’ll now see a small symbol next to each file. It indicates whether the file is currently syncing, already saved, or being uploaded or downloaded. You’ll also see a bar or circle that shows the progress of uploads or downloads.

This means that a quick glance is enough to show you whether your files are fully saved in the mail.com Cloud.

4. The new activity window provides more transparency

The update also includes a brand-new activity window, where you can see exactly

• which files are being transferred,
• whether any syncs are still running in the background, and
• the progress of these actions.

This means you can keep an eye on the status of your files, which is especially helpful when you’re backing up lots of photos or documents at once and want to make sure everything is working.

 

5. Improved search for Cloud files

Last but not least, your Cloud files will now appear in your computer’s built-in search. In other words, when you search for a file by name in macOS Spotlight or the Windows search bar, the system will also display Cloud file results directly in your Finder or File Explorer.
 
Thanks to this new update, the mail.com Cloud on your computer is now more intuitive than ever. Faster, clearer, and closer to the way you already work. Give it a try today!

We look forward to your feedback below. And if you still don’t have a mail.com account, why not sign up for free today?
