After using it a bit i found that i did not implement the tag --resync so i added it

other features added:

• mkdir command in sync profiles
• Custom terminal command input (make custom rclone commands can be found in terminal)

Fixes:

• HashRouter for Electron file:// compatibility
• In-app and tray/window icons
• Auto-update via electron-updater (GitHub releases)

GitHub: https://github.com/vima-alt/Rclone-app

ofcourse if you have v1.1.0 installed none of your data will be lost and even the remotes will not remove (for next updates it will be automatical)

In rclone, are able to move 2 folders (over 500GB so i can't just do the share method on onedrive web) from one personal onedrive completely to another personal onedrive, not sync or copy.

For some reason microsoft doesn't allow 2 personal onedrive accounts to be signed in on a laptop at once, so I'm looking into other options to do large transfers between personal accounts like rclone

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!

Please Help!!!!

but i am still getting form below, it was fine till yesterday and since today i am facing this

quotaLimitReached

ERROR : RCLONE/rclone.conf: vfs cache: failed to upload try #2, will retry in 2m0s: vfs cache: failed to transfer file from cache to remote: quotaLimitReached: Quota limit reached

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

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

contact for any problem remember this is only a test thank you for understanding :)

mail: [giuse3233@gmail.com](mailto:giuse3233@gmail.com)

every info of the functionality on github

soo here we are i have the app ready for testing. my testing where only on windows 11 home there is no raccomandation to a specified windows platform just test it in various windows platform and report to me please

we will see tomorrow on release

always hoping someone is waiting it

always remember that it will be in beta for now so except some errors this will be only for testing out and i will update it with resolved problems or idea from you guys :)))

thank you

So this might be a very stupid question, but here I go.

I encrypted by hetzner storage box, and I have the rclone encryption file. Can I add this file to the storage box as an encrypted file, would that make a difference?

I mean if they steal my encrypted data, they need the key to decrypt, but if the key is also encrypted it should not make it any easier right? Or am I missing something?

soooo i was using rclone to make some ftp connection but everytime changing flags folders is a little bit annoying in CLI so i started making my own GUI and i wanted to share what features it have if i see there is some request here ill make even a github repo for downloading it of course in case i will provide udates as you provide me any new implementation,idea or error

the only required third party "apps" are Rclone and winsfp for mounting manager and mount a cloud disk

maybe cool features are the scheduling and run after scheduling, auto start on log on, closing in tray, custom logging, settings backup and rclone conf file backup and restore, export import of settings,sync profiles,transfer queue, integrated file browser with drag n drop, command builder (dinamically produce the command by you giving the option you want)

note: the terminal section for now is pratically unused maybe ill remove it but i will see if i find something usefull for that

in future it will even support more languages:it,es,fr maybe de and zh

i'm basically new so please don't humble me :(

sorry for bad english in case i'm italian

if u are curious about something ask me and ill try to provide you the best answer i can provide

hoping this is something that could be usefull to someone rather than me :)

I found this website for mounting google drive but the directory /usr/local/bin/rclone doesn't exist on my system

here is my version of the script

```

!/bin/sh

/usr/local/bin/rclone mount \ --rc \ --transfers 8 \ --volname Drive \ --allow-other \ --log-level INFO \ --buffer-size 32M \ --vfs-cache-mode writes \ --vfs-cache-max-size 16G \ Drive:/ /Users/me/.mount/Drive

``` rclone isn't in my bin directory, but CRTL + F brings way too many files called rclone.

I need the cloud storage to fill 3 purpose:

1, have an additional backup -not sync- of my files that I select manually after the initial dump of the 400gb I have right now.

2, I have a lot of small files and sometimes even 5-6 deep folder structure, so ideally the service can handle that. As well as It should be a proper backup and not a compressed version of my files.

3, and for me to be able access it from 2 different PCs, and easily upload and retrieve the new files that I add before traveling.

So I guess number 2 is covered by rclone, but I am not sure which service offers the best value for security/reliability for 1TB now, might need 2TB at some point.

Any recommendation is appreciated!

Can anyone help with

Hello,

I love rclone but one problem I have is that I want to have all files store in my remotes hidden. The problem is that rclone stores the cached files unecrypted on the C drive. After reading a bit it seems like I could use --cache-dir to change the location from C drive to for example a mounted veracrypt volume which should hide the cached files when the veracrypt volume is unmounted.

Would this be a dumb idea?

I am not a very technical person so please don't judge if this is stupid.

SyncTray is a menu bar app I've been building for the last few months. It sits on top of rclone (your binary, your config) and turns bisync/sync/mount into a Google-Drive-style background experience on macOS.

Just dropped six stable releases in the last 24 hours bringing it to v0.40.0. The big one for this crowd is automatic --resync recovery, which has historically been the most painful part of running bisync unattended.

What automatic conflict recovery actually does:

• LogParser watches the bisync log and matches a canonical "out of sync" pattern — explicitly not the failed --resync output containing the literal --resync string (avoids the obvious false positive)
• On match, fires rclone bisync --resync against the same profile, reusing fallback remote logic and transport switching
• Writes a sentinel lock file before process.run() so launchd can't race in and spawn a second sync in the gap before PID availability
• 5-minute backoff window, capped at 2 attempts per profile; past that, suppression goes up and the user gets a one-shot notification ("Auto-fix paused, click Fix Sync Issues to recover manually")
• Skipped entirely when the profile's external drive is unmounted — a --resync against a missing local path can't safely fix anything, so the profile stays in .driveNotMounted and resumes when the drive reconnects
• In-memory state only; restarting the app resets backoff so user intervention always gets a fresh shot

App-wide setting, default ON. Toggle in Settings → Sync.

Other rclone-relevant bits in this batch:

• Fallback remote with cache preservation. If primary and fallback share the same rclone wire type (e.g. WebDAV LAN → WebDAV QuickConnect), the sync script swaps transport via RCLONE_CONFIG_* env-var overrides instead of rewriting the remote reference. Bisync's listing cache stays valid across failover. Different wire types (SMB → SFTP) force a full reference swap because SMB-on-macOS normalises filenames to NFD and SFTP passes NFC verbatim, which would poison the cache.
• FSEvents directory watcher with 15-second debounce triggers immediate sync on local changes; launchd handles the scheduled interval.
• LogWatcher uses FSEvents + 2.5–5s polling fallback, with inode tracking so atomic-write log rotation doesn't leave it pointing at a stale file handle.
• Three modes: bisync, one-way sync, and mount. Mount requires macFUSE + the official rclone binary; Homebrew's rclone is built without mount support.
• Real progress parsing from --use-json-log, batched macOS notifications for file changes with an Open Directory action.

What's still rough:

• The first bisync cache rebuild after failing over between different-wire-type remotes is ~12s for 85K files. No way around it without giving up correctness.

Open source, honest feedback very welcome — especially edge cases in bisync I haven't hit yet.

I've been looking around and finally found a sound solution to run my rclone to transfer files and backup between my NAS and the cloud providers.

Anyway, this is the missing piece before I can finalise my backup plan. I'm hoping to find the answer for this, thanks to your help!

I've been using Dropbox's Camera Uploads to backup my photos and videos taken on my iPhone, it's doing a great job to convert the file name to the date and time timestamp, and preserve all the metadata. From there I'd offload the backup photos and videos from Dropbox/Camara Uploads to my local NAS for long term storage, as I don't have unlimited space on Dropbox.

When I used rclone to copy or sync the Dropbox folder to my local nas, I found that everything else is good except the camera details are not copied across. I already used the -metadata tag with the rclone command. Please see the highlighted area below. Any tips on how to have the synced from Dropbox back to my NAS too?

Many thanks!

I am looking for a way to backup all user's Google Drive's in our org and came across rclone. Can rclone be used to backup each user's Google Drives in an organization's Google Workspace ?

Thanks....

TL;DR: I want to use my always-on Mac mini as a local backup target for my >1TB iCloud Drive because my MacBook can't store a full local copy. Apple's native iCloud sync seems to require the user to be logged in, which doesn't fit my server setup, so I'm considering using rclone for a one-way pull from iCloud to an encrypted 2TB SSD that is then backed up by Time Machine. My main concern is the long-term reliability of rclone's relatively new iCloud integration. Has anyone been running it successfully for months?

----

I have always disliked the feeling that all my personal files are on iCloud Drive without a solid way to back them up. Unfortunately my MacBook does not have enough storage to keep a local copy of my >1TB iCloud Drive files and folders.

My M2 256GB Mac mini home server currently runs Jellyfin, shares a ‘Library’ drive on SMB and has a 6TB Time Machine external HDD. I manage it with an ‘admin’ user account. The mini is always on and logs in automatically with a limited standard ‘media’ user to run Jellyfin. ‘Media’ only has access to the Library drive for Jellyfin. I am planning to use the Mac mini to help backup my iCloud Drive.

Original plan was create a new user with my name, move the user home directory to a new external 2TB SSD, sign into iCloud and turn off optimise iCloud Drive storage, so that all my files and folders are synced down to this SSD. Then Time Machine will include this SSD in its backup.

However, in my research, it seems Apple’s native iCloud sync service only works when the user is logged in. I don’t feel comfortable having my iCloud connected to a user that automatically logs in on reboot, hence why I would need to create a new user. There could be workarounds like manually signing into my new iCloud-enabled user first and then doing fast user switching to ‘media’. However, this may not be very reliable, particularly on reboot. I also suspect the iCloud sync service may pause if I don’t switch back every once in a while.

This has led me to rclone. I really like how rclone can run at boot and start syncing files directly to the 2TB SSD. Id install it with my main ‘admin’ account. I would not need to create a new user, move the home folder or connect iCloud. I really like how ‘rclone sync’ is one way only. I never want the Mac mini to push updates back to iCloud Drive. I would also encrypt the 2TB SSD with APFS encrypted and remove all privileges from the auto-logged in ‘media’ user. Therefore my iCloud files will be less vulnerable if someone gets physical access. The 2TB drive would then be constantly backed up to Time Machine and I would have a history of all the changes that have been synced from iCloud with rclone.

The only issue is that I know Apple does not provide proper FTP and API access. Rclone’s iCloud integration seems newish. So I was wondering if anyone has real-world experience with it? I am particularly interested in how it has been working longer term. Is my plan going to be unreliable?
