## About rclone {#about}
|
|
|
|
Rclone is a command line tool to manage files on cloud storage. It is
|
|
a feature rich alternative to cloud vendor's web storage
|
|
interfaces. [Over 40 cloud storage products](#providers) are supported
|
|
by rclone including S3 object stores, business & consumer file storage
|
|
services, as well as standard transfer protocols.
|
|
|
|
Rclone is a powerful tool being the cloud storage equivalent to the
|
|
unix commands rsync, cp, mv, mount, ls, ncdu, tree, rm, and
|
|
cat. Rclone's familiar syntax includes shell pipeline support, and
|
|
`--dry-run` protection. It can be used at the command line, in scripts
|
|
or via its [API](/rc).
|
|
|
|
Rclone really cares about your data. It preserves your timestamps and
|
|
verifies your data 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](/commands/rclone_check/) the integrity of your files. Where
|
|
possible, rclone employs server side transfers to minimise local
|
|
bandwidth use and can transfer from one provider to another without
|
|
using your local disk.
|
|
|
|
Virtual backends can wrap local and cloud file systems to apply
|
|
[encryption](/crypt/),
|
|
[caching](/cache/),
|
|
[chunking](/chunker/) and
|
|
[joining](/union/).
|
|
|
|
Rclone can [mount](/commands/rclone_mount/) any local, cloud or
|
|
virtual filesystem so it will appear as a local disk on your Windows,
|
|
macOS, linux or FreeBSD computer. Rclone can also serve these over
|
|
[SFTP](/commands/rclone_serve_sftp/),
|
|
[HTTP](/commands/rclone_serve_http/),
|
|
[WebDAV](/commands/rclone_serve_webdav/),
|
|
[FTP](/commands/rclone_serve_ftp/) and
|
|
[DLNA](/commands/rclone_serve_dlna/).
|
|
|
|
Rclone is mature, open source software originally inspired by
|
|
rsync. It is written in [Go](https://golang.org) and is energetically
|
|
maintained, and supported by a welcoming community with a wide
|
|
experience of varied use cases. Official repos such as Ubuntu, Debian,
|
|
Brew, Chocolatey include rclone. For the latest version [download from
|
|
rclone.org](/downloads/) is recommended.
|
|
|
|
Rclone is widely used on Linux, Windows and Mac. Third party
|
|
developers have built innovative backup, restore, GUI and business
|
|
process solutions using the rclone command line or API.
|
|
|
|
Let rclone do the heavy lifting of communicating with cloud cloud
|
|
storage so you can concentrate on your problems.
|
|
|
|
