Windows 8 which was released last year is missing in many official apps like Google Drive, although Dropbox was released few days back. With cloud storage services now becoming extremely popular and offering sync on various devices, you might have accounts with different cloud storage services. It would always be great to have all the cloud storage integrated into one app and this is exactly what Cumulo does.
Cumulo is a new Windows 8 app with metro UI and integrates all the cloud storage services into one app. You can access Dropbox, SkyDrive, Google Drive, Box and SugarSync in the app.
Once you install the app, you can start connecting your favorite services. If you are using the free app, SugarSync and Box cannot be connected. Once connected, you can view the files and folders available in all the connected services.
There is also an integrated search available in the app from the Charms menu. You can view files in different modes including slideshow. If you have media files in the cloud services, you can stream them to your PC using this app.
