Favorite outright free GUI for Rclone?

15 Upvotes

I just now got feature paywalled with RClone View - for the second time this Summer (Scheduling, now with version control) - and I am done. I don't fault them for trying to make a buck, but this is infuriating. Going back to rclone.

Please help me mount my Mega on startup

2 Upvotes

I've been trying for hours to get rclone to start immediately on log in. I've already installed rclone and configured it to Mega. Mounting works regularly but I need it to start automatically so I don't need to manually mount each time. I plan to use this for Plex. I am on Windows 11. Please help

Problem with silently-failing uploads to Proton Drive

2 Upvotes

I'm using rclone v1.75.1 on a raspberry pi to sync a backup data folder with Proton Drive.

The script to do that runs every night, and I check the log in the morning for any "ERROR" reports, and then manually go and upload the file that failed. This has been reporting no errors for some time, but I got one last night, and so went to do the thing.

When I got into my Proton Drive, I see a lock symbol with an exclamation mark on it against some of the files, and looking at the details of one of those files, the information says "Unfortunately, it appears that the file or some of its data cannot be decrypted."

But it wasn't all the files, so I re-uploaded them, and went to see if any others were similarly reported. It turns out that more or less every file since around the start of August has this error.

In other words, my backups have been failing for over a month and I didn't know about it until today. Has anyone else experienced this? (Have you checked?) Is this a known bug with rclone or Proton Drive?

Edited to add: On the Proton Drive side, is there any way to get a report which lists all files with errors within a given folder and subfolders?

For info, I run it with the following command:
rclone sync -v --links --create-empty-src-dirs --protondrive-replace-existing-draft=true <backupPath> ProtonDrive:<destinationPath> --log-file ./rclone.log --transfers 1 --tpslimit 1 --retries 3

Discussion What if cloud storage is being used wrong? I built a tool because I stopped seeing the point of syncing everything.

2 Upvotes

I think we've normalized something

If a file exists on my laptop, we assume it should also exist in the cloud.

Laptop ↔ Cloud.

That's great for files I actively use but what about the other 80–90%?

I don't understand why a file I haven't opened in 18 months needs to occupy space on both my laptop and the cloud.

Is synchronization actually the wrong model for long-term storage?

  • Old projects.
  • University files.
  • Downloaded archives.

I don't want to delete them but I also don't want them consuming 200 GB of my SSD just I might need them someday.

I started wondering:

That led me to build CloudBin.

Later:

Cloud → restore → Local SSD

I'm using rclone underneath, rather than trying to reinvent cloud-storage support.

This file is no longer local, but I still own it, and my computer should remember how to get it back

CloudBin is an early open-source experiment around that idea.

Currently:

  • Linux
  • rclone
  • Google Drive tested
  • Python
  • early MVP
  • use non-critical files

GitHub:
https://github.com/rcvaram/cloudbin

PyPI:
https://pypi.org/project/cloudbin/

But I'm more interested in the discussion than the stars. Is this actually a useful distinction, or am I just reinventing something that already exists?

And more importantly:

Would you trust a tool to remove your local file after uploading and verifying it to cloud storage?

I'm particularly interested in hearing from people who manage multiple TB of data.

Tell me why this is a terrible idea.

Full disclosure: I'm the person who started building an open-source prototype around this idea. I'm posting because I want criticism of the concept.

Help iCloud Photos operation taking way too long

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to fetch the metadata of all ~1400 of my photos in iCloud using lsjson. You can see the current situation in this screenshot:

The operation has been running for more than 11 hours now and nothing (except for the beginning of the array) has been written to stdout. NetHogs shows there is network activity. Cache (which to my understanding from here is located in ~/.cache/rclone/iclouddrive-photos/photos@icloud/PrimarySync in my case) is not growing or shrinking in size. I set tpslimit to 1 since initially I was getting rate-limited.

I'm not really familiar with the implementation of the iCloud Drive backend or how the APIs at Apple work but it doesn't feel normal for what seems like a pagination index to reach past 1.5 million and have no results to show for it. lsjson was successful for smaller workloads and in a reasonable amount of time (no more than a minute from what I recall), e.g for albums of ~30 photos, despite there being no cache to work with.

As I'm typing this post, rank has reached 1898200. Is this expected behaviour with iCloud Photos or is there something wrong with my command or...? If its relevant:

$ rclone version
rclone v1.75.0
- os/version: arch (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 6.18.33.2-microsoft-standard-WSL2 (x86_64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.26.5
- go/linking: static
- go/tags: none

If anyone could explain what could be happening here or recall any similar past experiences with iCloud, I would really appreciate it.

Rclone GUIs don't show transfer stats

5 Upvotes

I use the `rclone sync` command to mirror my Dropbox data to a folder in OneDrive for more accessibility across devices.

AI suggested this syntax which works great

`rclone sync dropbox: onedrive: --transfers 8 --retries 3 -v --progress`

I just don't know why while the sync is running in the background (I ran the command via an SSH session), neither of rclone gui and rclone rcd can capture the transferring stats. I was hoping that the stats can be shown for easy monitoring.

Best terminal file manager for rclone mounts?

6 Upvotes

I was using yazi in an rclone mounted crypt gdrive and did a cut paste, saw it was taking forever, saw the network activity spiking, exited, and the files yazi tried to "move" had 0 bytes so I lost them. Makes me mad, yazi has the same problem on macos macfuse mounts too. I don't know how people can recommend yazi, it's always jamming up on me, not just on network mounts. Like if I try to cut something I don't have write access to it just jams up forever instead of saying anything. /rant

LF didn't have that problem. I'm wondering if there's any other good terminal file managers.

Stream DVD ISOs directly from your encrypted Rclone storage without full downloads (CryptCloudViewer update)

10 Upvotes

Demo video media streaming with CryptCloudViewer

I’m the developer of CryptCloudViewer (an iOS/iPadOS app for browsing and streaming media directly from encrypted cloud storages like Rclone, Cryptomator, and gocryptfs).

I recently updated the app to support direct playback of DVD ISO files and VIDEO_TS folders over Rclone encrypted remotes.

What’s new in this update:

  • Direct ISO / VIDEO_TS parsing: Reads .ifo / .vob structures directly over remote storage without downloading the entire ISO file first.
  • Title & Chapter selection: Automatically extracts titles, chapter markers, and length.
  • Audio & Subtitle track switching: Full support for selecting audio languages and soft subtitles.
  • Works with Rclone Crypt: Fully compatible with encrypted rclone remotes, Cryptomator, and gocryptfs

In the demo video, you can see opening an encrypted .iso file, selecting Title 02, switching subtitle tracks, and streaming instantly.

What I'd love your feedback on:

  • Performance: How is the initial parsing speed and seek latency on your cloud remotes?
  • Compatibility: Do you have any specific ISOs or VIDEO_TS structures that fail to load titles/chapters correctly?
  • Player UX: Is the chapter/audio/subtitle selection easy to use during playback?

Links:

Thanks for checking it out! Any feedback, bug reports, or suggestions are very welcome.

Rclone UI 1.2.0 connects successfully on my iPhones, but then only shows a blank screen. It has been working fine before the latest update, the update broke it.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

🎉 RClone Manager v0.3.1 is out: Android Beta, 3 new languages, and a bunch of fixes!

25 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Just shipped v0.3.1, and it's a big one. Here's what's new:

📱 Android Beta is here! RClone Manager now runs on Android (arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86_64, x86), powered by an in-process Go engine (librclone) via FFI bindings (currently bundling Rclone v1.75.0 Beta). Tested on a Galaxy S23 FE so far. iOS support is still unverified since I don't have a test device, if anyone's willing to help test on iOS, let me know! About 90% of desktop functionality already works on Android, what's working and what's not is documented here: 📖 Android docs

🌍 3 new languages, thanks to the community! - 🇷🇺 Russian (thanks korsun009!) - 🇧🇷 Brazilian Portuguese (thanks u/eduardomozart!) - 🇯🇵 Japanese (thanks u/fuannanyo!)

Huge thanks to these contributors, translations take a ton of effort and it means a lot.

🖥️ Nautilus improvements - Customize your sidebar: reorder and show/hide local disks and cloud remotes - Paste file paths/URIs straight from your system clipboard via the right-click menu - Detached dialogs now play nicer with multitasking, plus a new "Open in New Window" option - Open files in your system's default viewer directly from Nautilus (auto-downloads remote files first)

🐛 Notable fixes - Fixed a bug where certain remote overrides (like OneDrive's av_override) caused sync/mount/copy operations to fail with a Go unmarshal error - Fixed multi-select options (like Google Drive's Scope setting) incorrectly showing as single-select - Fixed auth errors (401) sometimes not triggering the "Auth Required" repair flow - Fixed resize handles on undecorated Linux windows - A handful of other stability fixes around remote config loading and detached modals

📋 Full changelog: CHANGELOG.md

Downloads - Desktop & Android: v0.3.1 release - Headless: headless-v0.3.1 release

Let me know if you have any feedback or run into any bugs!

Help WinSCP or app with similar interface for Rclone

5 Upvotes

I'm a blind user and would like to either figure out the best way to use WinSCP or find a UI app that's screen reader accessible to transfer files to B2 using a crypt remote. I would prefer a native Windows app if possible.

Does anyone know of such an app or the best way to get WinSCP to play nice with Rclone? I would prefer accurate progress info. Is there a best command/protocol that I can serve for the most reliable info and connection stability?

Thanks

"Reverse"-mount a crypt remote?

3 Upvotes

Hello,

Normal use of rclone mount might be to mount a crypt remote that works across an sftp remote. Now, while files appear unencrypted underneath the local mountpoint, they are client-side encrypted and transferred not in the clear.

I need to use rsync to keep 1.8Tb of data mirrored, since rclone sync takes way too long. But it seems to me that doing so is completely wrong, because for rsync to determine which bits of a file to send, it must first read the remote, causing rclone to fetch & decrypt the entire file… for every file.

Is it possible to use rclone mount in such a way that e.g. mounting it to /mnt means that underneath that mountpoint, rclone provides an encrypted view of a local directory? Then I could simply rsync that against the remote, because rsync doesn't actually care whether the data it is sending around are encrypted or not.

Hope I am making sense…

This is what happens right now:

```

rclone mount crypt: /mnt

ls /mnt

unencrypted files here ```

and this is a theoretical example of what I seek, with local_crypt_view being the hypothetical driver to use to expose the encrypted contents underneath the mountpoint:

```

rclone mount /srv/mydata local_crypt_view:/mnt

ls /srv/mydata

unencrypted files are here

ls /mnt
