About rclone

Rclone is a command-line program to manage files on cloud storage. It<br>is a feature-rich alternative to cloud vendors' web storage<br>interfaces. Over 70 cloud storage products support<br>rclone including S3 object stores, business & consumer file storage<br>services, as well as standard transfer protocols.

Rclone has powerful cloud equivalents to the unix commands rsync, cp,<br>mv, mount, ls, ncdu, tree, rm, and cat. Rclone's familiar syntax<br>includes shell pipeline support, and --dry-run protection. It is<br>used at the command line, in scripts or via its API.

Users call rclone "The Swiss army knife of cloud storage", and<br>"Technology indistinguishable from magic".

Rclone really looks after your data. It preserves timestamps and<br>verifies checksums at all times. Transfers over limited bandwidth;<br>intermittent connections, or subject to quota can be restarted, from<br>the last good file transferred. You can<br>check the integrity of your files. Where<br>possible, rclone employs server-side transfers to minimise local<br>bandwidth use and transfers from one provider to another without<br>using local disk.

Virtual backends wrap local and cloud file systems to apply<br>encryption,<br>compression,<br>chunking,<br>hashing and<br>joining.

Rclone mounts any local, cloud or<br>virtual filesystem as a disk on Windows,<br>macOS, linux and FreeBSD, and also serves these over<br>SFTP,<br>HTTP,<br>WebDAV,<br>FTP and<br>DLNA.

Rclone is mature, open-source software originally inspired by rsync<br>and written in Go. The friendly support<br>community is familiar with varied use cases. Official Ubuntu, Debian,<br>Fedora, Brew and Chocolatey repos. include rclone. For the latest<br>version downloading from rclone.org is recommended.

Rclone is widely used on Linux, Windows and Mac. Third-party<br>developers create innovative backup, restore, GUI and business<br>process solutions using the rclone command line or API.

Rclone does the heavy lifting of communicating with cloud storage.
