How to add the cloud icon to the Windows 10 right-click menu

The cloud storage services such as Google Drive, OneDrive, iCloud Drive support users a lot in data storage, as well as access the data you want anywhere, with every device from computer to smartphone. You won't need to use a USB drive or a drive to store data, but just use cloud accounts.

All data will be synchronized and we can view, edit, share those data with extremely fast operation. And if you regularly use those cloud storage services on your computer, you can create cloud service icons on the right-click menu on Windows 10.

Step 1:

First, we open File Explorer on the computer, then copy and paste the link below into the address bar and press Enter to access.

Step 4:

Next, the user clicks the left mouse button on the cloud storage application icon and drags to the SendTo interface on the right . We can put any or all of the installed programs on the computer to the right interface. Here I will do with both the OneDrive and Google Drive applications.

Step 6:

Now we will proceed to transfer data to this cloud storage application, when pressing the right-click menu.

You right-click on a folder or file , look at the Send to section, and you'll see more options to transfer files to the cloud storage sync folder we added above. In the picture will be Google Drive and OneDrive.

Now you just need to select the services you want to download the data to and then transfer the data to. Immediately, folders or files will be uploaded to the cloud storage service quickly.

Thus, with just a very simple operation, you can upload data to cloud storage services right on the right-click menu. Or we can put other folders on the computer into the right-click menu to make it easier to transfer data. Now, users can reduce two or three data copying operations as before, but just right-click and select Send to to find the cloud storage folder to be transferred.
