Rclone is another great example of open source being better than a commercial product. I'd rather use it than gsutil or s3cmd, it's simple, the commands make sense, and it doesn't bring in a lot of other cruft.
If rclone’s author is around… You should update the lage with an easy and VISIBLE link for dontations. I could not find it while browsing (ios) although it appears somewhere in the FAQ.<p>Thanks for the product. Unbelievable.
So funny! I just spent a few hours last night setting up rclone for the first time on my Macbook!<p>I've got one of those legacy Google Drive unlimited storage plans, and for years I've been using it to store all my code, video projects I work on, etc.<p>The way I normally use it is inefficient: if I was importing videos for a project, I'd use the Google Drive web UI to upload them into Drive, where I'd later organize them, etc.<p>Over the years I tried a variety of Goole Drive syncing tools, but all eventually stopped working, or were so unbearably slow that I couldn't justify it.<p>Last night I spent some time and set up rclone for Drive, along with a persistent mount so that Google Drive is always accessible via ~/Drive. So far it seems like everything is working well -- really amazing software! <3
Here is a step by step, keystroke by keystroke, howto for rclone with S3 buckets as an example target:<p><a href="https://rsync.net/resources/howto/rclone.html" rel="nofollow">https://rsync.net/resources/howto/rclone.html</a><p>... this HOWTO uses an rsync.net account as an endpoint/throughpoint <i>but you can ignore that</i> - this HOWTO is applicable to any general configuration.
I love rclone, have been using it to reliably move large files between different could providers (thanks Nick!). GUI applications were constantly crashing, rclone has always been reliable.<p>Make sure to support your favorite open source projects! <a href="https://rclone.org/donate/" rel="nofollow">https://rclone.org/donate/</a>
We use Rclone as a "disk in the cloud" solution for the otherwise stateless docker images. Works perfectly well. And the best thing is - it supports transparent end-to-end encryption.<p>Among all the cloud storages we've tried to use with Rclone, Azure Blobs turned out to be the fastest so far.<p>The bitter part of the story is that I did not know about Rclone existence until a recent year or two. I still feel ashamed about that.
I'm a heavy user of rsync and sftp between personal devices, but have never used rclone. Is it only used with cloud storage from the big companies? I have never used any of those so far.
I use it for jottacloud directory sync as jottacloud only supports dull sync. And I use it for zotero attachment sync from/into jottacloud.<p>rclone is just awesome and well documented!
