Steward · by Forest Integrations

Every file you keep, in one inventory, with the duplicates found.

Steward links the OneDrive, Dropbox, Box and Google Drive accounts you already have, scans them, and shows every file in one place. It finds duplicates inside an account and across accounts, proposes a plan you read and approve before anything moves, consolidates into the home you choose, and migrates whole folder trees from one service to another, cloud to cloud, with every copy verified.

Coming soon  Windows and macOS. Signs in with your Microsoft account; runs in your own tenant beside Attunement.

A made-up inventory, to show the shape. Nothing moves until a person says so.

What it does

Find what's doubled, keep one, and move the rest where it belongs.

Link the accounts you already have

OneDrive, personal or work, Dropbox, Box and Google Drive, each linked through its own sign-in page. Steward keeps a sealed token for each account in your own vault, never on a laptop, and unlinking revokes it.

One inventory across all of them

A scan lists every file and folder with its size, its dates and the hash the service reports. What's largest, what's where, what each folder holds, all in one view, with the account named on every row.

Duplicates, inside and across

Each service reports a different kind of hash: OneDrive's QuickXorHash, Dropbox's block hash, Box's SHA-1, Google's MD5 and SHA-256. Steward reconciles them. Where two services share no hash, it fingerprints only the files it must, once, through the server, and never more than the budget you set.

A plan you read before anything moves

Every change is written out first: which copy stays under the rule you chose, which copies go to the provider's own trash, what is skipped and why. A person approves the plan by name; nothing is ever deleted permanently.

Consolidate into one home

Pick the account that keeps the copy. A set with no copy there gets one made before the others are set aside, so consolidation never loses a file along the way.

Migrate cloud to cloud

Copy a folder tree from one service to another through the server, so nothing is downloaded to your computer and uploaded again. Files already at the destination are skipped, folders are made on the way, and every copy is verified against the destination's own hash.

How it's built

Approved by a person, verified by the destination, kept in your tenant.

  • The desktop app signs you in with Microsoft Entra and talks only to the Steward server. It holds no secrets, only public identifiers.
  • Linking an account opens that service's own sign-in page; the server exchanges the code and seals the token with a key in your own vault. The token never reaches the app, and unlinking revokes it at the service.
  • Scans, analyses and migrations run on the server, cloud to cloud. Your laptop can close; the job carries on, and the app shows its progress when you return.
  • Every change is a plan: proposed by the tool, read and approved by a person who may approve plans, run by a job that reports every action. Extras go to the provider's own trash, never a permanent delete.
  • A copy is fingerprinted as it streams, so the destination's own hash verifies it without a second read. The verification sits on each action in the plan.
  • The inventory, the sets, the plans and the audit log live in a database in your own Azure subscription, beside Attunement, deployed from code you can read.
  • Questions and research over the inventory use the AI subscription you already hold; Claude is our recommendation. Nothing is posted anywhere.

Too many copies in too many places?
