Rclone
Rclone syncs your files to cloud storage.
Rclone is a command-line program for managing files on cloud storage, serving as an alternative to cloud vendors' web storage interfaces. It solves the problem of transferring, syncing, and managing data across a wide range of cloud storage services without relying on each provider's proprietary tools or web interface.
The program supports over 70 cloud storage products, including S3 object stores, business and consumer file storage services, and standard transfer protocols. It provides cloud equivalents to unix commands such as rsync, cp, mv, mount, ls, ncdu, tree, rm, and cat. Key capabilities include checksum verification for file integrity, timestamp preservation, restartable transfers over limited or intermittent connections, and server-side transfers to minimize local bandwidth use. Virtual backends enable encryption, compression, chunking, hashing, and joining of file systems. Rclone can mount cloud storage as a disk on Windows, macOS, Linux, and FreeBSD, and serve files over SFTP, HTTP, WebDAV, FTP, and DLNA.
Rclone is designed for users who need to manage files on cloud storage from the command line, in scripts, or via its API. It is open-source software written in Go, available for Linux, Windows, and Mac. The program is included in official Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Brew, and Chocolatey repositories, with the latest version available for download from the project website.
