One of its kind, CCleaner Cloud offers cloud based solutions in cleaning, analyzing and defragging of Windows PC’s remotely. CCleaner for desktop has been a popular Windows desktop tune-up utility used over the years. CCleaner Cloud comes out as the cloud version of the application that has not only inherited original features of CCleaner but also added several new ones.
CCleaner Cloud review
One of the major distinguishing difference between CCleaner and CCleaner Cloud is that the maker Piriform has moved the control center to the web so that you can control one or multiple PC’s remotely.
Setting-Up CCleaner Cloud
In order to use the CCleaner Cloud, you first need to set up create an account for yourself on the official site and wait for the invitation. Though the maximum time limit of receiving the invitation email is 24 hours, you may get the same in just an hour or so. (In my case, it just took 30 minutes to get an invitation email).
Once the account is activated, you can add PC’s to the cloud by installing CCleaner Cloud Agent on them. You will be prompted to enter the email address and password for authentication. Administrative privileges are needed. Remember, that with the free version you can add a maximum of 3 PC’s.
The First Panel view
Once you login with your email and password, the first panel view displays out the important recent events of your PC. As shown below, with the free account you are allowed to add 2 more PC’s.
Next, click onto the PC which is Online and the application automatically shows a summary page which includes information on the Operating system, CPU, RAM, Motherboard and Graphics. Along with above, you can also see disk space usage, events, and graphs with the evolution of network bandwidth, memory and CPU consumption, along with the most demanding active processes.

The web browser interface provides detailed information about the hardware and software configuration of the PC. To access the same, just click on the Hardware and Software tab located at the top left corner of the web browser interface.
Hardware lists down specification such as Operating System, CPU, RAM, Motherboard, Graphics, Hard Drives, Optical Drives, Audio, Peripherals and Network.
On the other hand, Software lists down information about the Operating system, running processes, startup items and installed software. Additionally it also provides separate option for adding new software and available Windows Update.
