Rclone is a command-line program to manage files on cloud storage. It is a feature-rich alternative to cloud vendors\[cq] web storage interfaces. Over 40 cloud storage products support rclone including S3 object stores, business & consumer file storage services, as well as standard transfer protocols.

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

Users call rclone \f[I]\[lq]The Swiss army knife of cloud storage\[rq]\f[R], and \f[I]\[lq]Technology indistinguishable from magic\[rq]\f[R].

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

Virtual backends wrap local and cloud file systems to apply encryption (https://rclone.org/crypt/), compression (https://rclone.org/compress/), chunking (https://rclone.org/chunker/), hashing (https://rclone.org/hasher/) and joining (https://rclone.org/union/).

Rclone mounts (https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_mount/) any local, cloud or virtual filesystem as a disk on Windows, macOS, linux and FreeBSD, and also serves these over SFTP (https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_serve_sftp/), HTTP (https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_serve_http/), WebDAV (https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_serve_webdav/), FTP (https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_serve_ftp/) and DLNA (https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_serve_dlna/).

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

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

Rclone does the heavy lifting of communicating with cloud storage.

Rclone helps you:

Backup (and encrypt) files to cloud storage

Restore (and decrypt) files from cloud storage

Mirror cloud data to other cloud services or locally

Migrate data to the cloud, or between cloud storage vendors

Mount multiple, encrypted, cached or diverse cloud storage as a disk

Analyse and account for data held on cloud storage using lsf (https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_lsf/), ljson (https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_lsjson/), size (https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_size/), ncdu (https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_ncdu/)

Union (https://rclone.org/union/) file systems together to present multiple local and/or cloud file systems as one

Transfers

MD5, SHA1 hashes are checked at all times for file integrity

Timestamps are preserved on files

Operations can be restarted at any time

Can be to and from network, e.g.\ two different cloud providers

Can use multi-threaded downloads to local disk

Copy (https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_copy/) new or changed files to cloud storage

Sync (https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_sync/) (one way) to make a directory identical

Move (https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_move/) files to cloud storage deleting the local after verification

Check (https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_check/) hashes and for missing/extra files

Mount (https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_mount/) your cloud storage as a network disk

Serve (https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_serve/) local or remote files over HTTP (https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_serve_http/)/WebDav (https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_serve_webdav/)/FTP (https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_serve_ftp/)/SFTP (https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_serve_sftp/)/DLNA (https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_serve_dlna/)

Experimental Web based GUI (https://rclone.org/gui/)

(There are many others, built on standard protocols such as WebDAV or S3, that work out of the box.)
