MAC BACKUP
Automatic backup for your Mac
Your storage. Your choice. Your backup.
CloudChute backs up your Mac using storage you choose — Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, Amazon S3, or S3-compatible storage.
Choose what to protect, let CloudChute run in the background, and restore files when you need them.
Built natively for macOS in Swift Backup that fits the way you already work
No CloudChute storage to buy. No storage lock-in. Just reliable, off-site backups using the storage you choose. It runs quietly in the background, works alongside Time Machine, and gives you straightforward restore options when you need them.
Works with Time Machine
Use CloudChute alongside Time Machine to keep an off-site backup in your own cloud account.
Automatic or manual backup
Run backups on a schedule, or start one yourself. The menu bar icon, on by default, shows the last backup and when the next one is due.
Choose folders to protect
Choose which folders to back up and which files to leave out.
Bring your own storage
You choose where your backups live. Use Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, Amazon S3, or other supported storage providers.
S3 & S3-compatible storage
Connect Amazon S3 or any S3-compatible object storage using a custom endpoint, including Wasabi, Backblaze B2, Cloudflare R2, and MinIO.
Tune uploads for your Mac and network
Per-provider controls for parallel uploads, large-file handling, and retries — in Settings after you connect storage.
Encrypt before upload
Optionally encrypt files on your Mac before upload, so only you can read them.
Your backup stays safe
If you delete a file on your Mac, CloudChute still keeps a safe backup copy.
Built for real networks Provider-native upload controls
CloudChute does not use one generic upload profile. Each cloud backend exposes settings aligned with how that API handles concurrency, large files, and retries.
Google Drive
Resumable large-file mode, chunk size, parallel files and folders, connection limits, and retry policy.
Dropbox
Parallel transfer cap, small-file high-efficiency mode, immediate vs. batch commit, and optional deep integrity checks.
Box
Large-file threshold, memory buffer for chunks, concurrent upload cap, and retry presets.
Amazon S3 & compatible
Concurrent uploads, multipart threshold and part size, and SDK retry aggression. Also works with S3-compatible object storage via a custom endpoint (for example Wasabi, Backblaze B2 S3 API, Cloudflare R2, or MinIO).
All providers: ignored paths in Settings keep backups focused and fast.
