<h2 id="about">About rclone</h2>
<p>Rclone is a command-line program to manage files on cloud storage. It
is a feature-rich alternative to cloud vendors' web storage interfaces.
<a href="#providers">Over 70 cloud storage products</a> support rclone
including S3 object stores, business &amp; consumer file storage
services, as well as standard transfer protocols.</p>
<p>Rclone has powerful cloud equivalents to the unix commands rsync, cp,
mv, mount, ls, ncdu, tree, rm, and cat. Rclone's familiar syntax
includes shell pipeline support, and <code>--dry-run</code> protection.
It is used at the command line, in scripts or via its <a
href="/rc">API</a>.</p>
<p>Users call rclone <em>"The Swiss army knife of cloud storage"</em>,
and <em>"Technology indistinguishable from magic"</em>.</p>
<p>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 <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_check/">check</a> 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.</p>
<p>Virtual backends wrap local and cloud file systems to apply <a
href="https://rclone.org/crypt/">encryption</a>, <a
href="https://rclone.org/compress/">compression</a>, <a
href="https://rclone.org/chunker/">chunking</a>, <a
href="https://rclone.org/hasher/">hashing</a> and <a
href="https://rclone.org/union/">joining</a>.</p>
<p>Rclone <a href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_mount/">mounts</a>
any local, cloud or virtual filesystem as a disk on Windows, macOS,
linux and FreeBSD, and also serves these over <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_serve_sftp/">SFTP</a>, <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_serve_http/">HTTP</a>, <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_serve_webdav/">WebDAV</a>, <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_serve_ftp/">FTP</a> and <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_serve_dlna/">DLNA</a>.</p>
<p>Rclone is mature, open-source software originally inspired by rsync
and written in <a href="https://golang.org">Go</a>. The friendly support
community is familiar with varied use cases. Official Ubuntu, Debian,
Fedora, Brew and Chocolatey repos. include rclone. For the latest
version <a href="https://rclone.org/downloads/">downloading from
rclone.org</a> is recommended.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Rclone does the heavy lifting of communicating with cloud
storage.</p>

<h2 id="macos">macOS installation</h2>
<h3 id="macos-brew">Installation with brew</h3>
<pre><code>brew install rclone</code></pre>
<p>NOTE: This version of rclone will not support <code>mount</code> any
more (see <a
href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/5373">#5373</a>). If
mounting is wanted on macOS, either install a precompiled binary or
enable the relevant option when <a href="#source">installing from
source</a>.</p>
<p>Note that this is a third party installer not controlled by the
rclone developers so it may be out of date. Its current version is as
below.</p>
<p><a href="https://repology.org/project/rclone/versions"><img
src="https://repology.org/badge/version-for-repo/homebrew/rclone.svg"
alt="Homebrew package" /></a></p>
<h3 id="macos-macports">Installation with MacPorts</h3>
<p>On macOS, rclone can also be installed via <a
href="https://www.macports.org">MacPorts</a>:</p>
<pre><code>sudo port install rclone</code></pre>
<p>Note that this is a third party installer not controlled by the
rclone developers so it may be out of date. Its current version is as
below.</p>
<p><a href="https://repology.org/project/rclone/versions"><img
src="https://repology.org/badge/version-for-repo/macports/rclone.svg"
alt="MacPorts port" /></a></p>
<p>More information <a
href="https://ports.macports.org/port/rclone/">here</a>.</p>
<h3 id="macos-precompiled">Precompiled binary, using curl</h3>
<p>To avoid problems with macOS gatekeeper enforcing the binary to be
signed and notarized it is enough to download with
<code>curl</code>.</p>
<p>Download the latest version of rclone.</p>
<pre><code>cd &amp;&amp; curl -O https://downloads.rclone.org/rclone-current-osx-amd64.zip</code></pre>
<p>Unzip the download and cd to the extracted folder.</p>
<pre><code>unzip -a rclone-current-osx-amd64.zip &amp;&amp; cd rclone-*-osx-amd64</code></pre>
<p>Move rclone to your $PATH. You will be prompted for your
password.</p>
<pre><code>sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
sudo mv rclone /usr/local/bin/</code></pre>
<p>(the <code>mkdir</code> command is safe to run, even if the directory
already exists).</p>
<p>Remove the leftover files.</p>
<pre><code>cd .. &amp;&amp; rm -rf rclone-*-osx-amd64 rclone-current-osx-amd64.zip</code></pre>
<p>Run <code>rclone config</code> to setup. See <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/">rclone config docs</a> for more
details.</p>
<pre><code>rclone config</code></pre>
<h3 id="macos-precompiled-web">Precompiled binary, using a web
browser</h3>
<p>When downloading a binary with a web browser, the browser will set
the macOS gatekeeper quarantine attribute. Starting from Catalina, when
attempting to run <code>rclone</code>, a pop-up will appear saying:</p>
<pre><code>&quot;rclone&quot; cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.
macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware.</code></pre>
<p>The simplest fix is to run</p>
<pre><code>xattr -d com.apple.quarantine rclone</code></pre>
<h2 id="windows">Windows installation</h2>
<h3 id="windows-precompiled">Precompiled binary</h3>
<p>Fetch the correct binary for your processor type by clicking on these
links. If not sure, use the first link.</p>

<h2 id="package-manager">Package manager installation</h2>
<p>Many Linux, Windows, macOS and other OS distributions package and
distribute rclone.</p>
<p>The distributed versions of rclone are often quite out of date and
for this reason we recommend one of the other installation methods if
possible.</p>
<p>You can get an idea of how up to date or not your OS distribution's
package is here.</p>

<h2 id="docker">Docker installation</h2>
<p>The rclone developers maintain a <a
href="https://hub.docker.com/r/rclone/rclone">docker image for
rclone</a>.</p>
<p>These images are built as part of the release process based on a
minimal Alpine Linux.</p>
<p>The <code>:latest</code> tag will always point to the latest stable
release. You can use the <code>:beta</code> tag to get the latest build
from master. You can also use version tags, e.g. <code>:1.49.1</code>,
<code>:1.49</code> or <code>:1</code>.</p>
<pre><code>$ docker pull rclone/rclone:latest
latest: Pulling from rclone/rclone
Digest: sha256:0e0ced72671989bb837fea8e88578b3fc48371aa45d209663683e24cfdaa0e11
...
$ docker run --rm rclone/rclone:latest version
rclone v1.49.1
- os/arch: linux/amd64
- go version: go1.12.9</code></pre>
<p>There are a few command line options to consider when starting an
rclone Docker container from the rclone image.</p>
<ul>
<li><p>You need to mount the host rclone config dir at
<code>/config/rclone</code> into the Docker container. Due to the fact
that rclone updates tokens inside its config file, and that the update
process involves a file rename, you need to mount the whole host rclone
config dir, not just the single host rclone config file.</p></li>
<li><p>You need to mount a host data dir at <code>/data</code> into the
Docker container.</p></li>
<li><p>By default, the rclone binary inside a Docker container runs with
UID=0 (root). As a result, all files created in a run will have UID=0.
If your config and data files reside on the host with a non-root
UID:GID, you need to pass these on the container start command
line.</p></li>
<li><p>If you want to access the RC interface (either via the API or the
Web UI), it is required to set the <code>--rc-addr</code> to
<code>:5572</code> in order to connect to it from outside the container.
An explanation about why this is necessary is present <a
href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200808071950/https://pythonspeed.com/articles/docker-connection-refused/">here</a>.</p>
<ul>
<li>NOTE: Users running this container with the docker network set to
<code>host</code> should probably set it to listen to localhost only,
with <code>127.0.0.1:5572</code> as the value for
<code>--rc-addr</code></li>
</ul></li>
<li><p>It is possible to use <code>rclone mount</code> inside a
userspace Docker container, and expose the resulting fuse mount to the
host. The exact <code>docker run</code> options to do that might vary
slightly between hosts. See, e.g. the discussion in this <a
href="https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/9448">thread</a>.</p>
<p>You also need to mount the host <code>/etc/passwd</code> and
<code>/etc/group</code> for fuse to work inside the container.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Here are some commands tested on an Ubuntu 18.04.3 host:</p>
<pre><code># config on host at ~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf
# data on host at ~/data
# add a remote interactively
docker run --rm -it \
--volume ~/.config/rclone:/config/rclone \
--user $(id -u):$(id -g) \
rclone/rclone \
config
# make sure the config is ok by listing the remotes
docker run --rm \
--volume ~/.config/rclone:/config/rclone \
--user $(id -u):$(id -g) \
rclone/rclone \
listremotes
# perform mount inside Docker container, expose result to host
mkdir -p ~/data/mount
docker run --rm \
--volume ~/.config/rclone:/config/rclone \
--volume ~/data:/data:shared \
--user $(id -u):$(id -g) \
--volume /etc/passwd:/etc/passwd:ro --volume /etc/group:/etc/group:ro \
--device /dev/fuse --cap-add SYS_ADMIN --security-opt apparmor:unconfined \

<ul>
<li>Default config directory:

</ul>
<p>Note: Due to the strict confinement of Snap,
<code>rclone mount</code> feature is <code>not</code> supported.</p>
<p>If mounting is wanted, either install a precompiled binary or enable
the relevant option when <a href="#source">installing from
source</a>.</p>
<p>Note that this is controlled by <a

current version is as below.</p>
<p><a href="https://snapcraft.io/rclone"><img
src="https://snapcraft.io/rclone/badge.svg" alt="rclone" /></a></p>
<h2 id="source">Source installation</h2>
<p>Make sure you have git and <a href="https://golang.org/">Go</a>
installed. Go version 1.18 or newer is required, the latest release is
recommended. You can get it from your package manager, or download it
from <a href="https://golang.org/dl/">golang.org/dl</a>. Then you can
run the following:</p>
<pre><code>git clone https://github.com/rclone/rclone.git
cd rclone
go build</code></pre>
<p>This will check out the rclone source in subfolder rclone, which you
can later modify and send pull requests with. Then it will build the
rclone executable in the same folder. As an initial check you can now
run <code>./rclone version</code> (<code>.\rclone version</code> on
Windows).</p>
<p>Note that on macOS and Windows the <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_mount/">mount</a> command will
not be available unless you specify an additional build tag
<code>cmount</code>.</p>
<pre><code>go build -tags cmount</code></pre>
<p>This assumes you have a GCC compatible C compiler (GCC or Clang) in
your PATH, as it uses <a href="https://pkg.go.dev/cmd/cgo">cgo</a>. But
on Windows, the <a href="https://github.com/winfsp/cgofuse">cgofuse</a>
library that the cmount implementation is based on, also supports
building <a href="https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/WindowsDLLs">without
cgo</a>, i.e. by setting environment variable CGO_ENABLED to value 0
(static linking). This is how the official Windows release of rclone is
being built, starting with version 1.59. It is still possible to build
with cgo on Windows as well, by using the MinGW port of GCC, e.g. by
installing it in a <a href="https://www.msys2.org">MSYS2</a>
distribution (make sure you install it in the classic mingw64 subsystem,
the ucrt64 version is not compatible).</p>
<p>Additionally, to build with mount on Windows, you must install the
third party utility <a href="https://winfsp.dev/">WinFsp</a>, with the
"Developer" feature selected. If building with cgo, you must also set
environment variable CPATH pointing to the fuse include directory within
the WinFsp installation (normally
<code>C:\Program Files (x86)\WinFsp\inc\fuse</code>).</p>
<p>You may add arguments <code>-ldflags -s</code> to omit symbol table
and debug information, making the executable file smaller, and
<code>-trimpath</code> to remove references to local file system paths.
The official rclone releases are built with both of these.</p>
<pre><code>go build -trimpath -ldflags -s -tags cmount</code></pre>
<p>If you want to customize the version string, as reported by the
<code>rclone version</code> command, you can set one of the variables
<code>fs.Version</code>, <code>fs.VersionTag</code> (to keep default
suffix but customize the number), or <code>fs.VersionSuffix</code> (to
keep default number but customize the suffix). This can be done from the
build command, by adding to the <code>-ldflags</code> argument value as
shown below.</p>
<pre><code>go build -trimpath -ldflags &quot;-s -X github.com/rclone/rclone/fs.Version=v9.9.9-test&quot; -tags cmount</code></pre>
<p>On Windows, the official executables also have the version
information, as well as a file icon, embedded as binary resources. To
get that with your own build you need to run the following command
<strong>before</strong> the build command. It generates a Windows
resource system object file, with extension .syso, e.g.
<code>resource_windows_amd64.syso</code>, that will be automatically
picked up by future build commands.</p>
<pre><code>go run bin/resource_windows.go</code></pre>
<p>The above command will generate a resource file containing version
information based on the fs.Version variable in source at the time you
run the command, which means if the value of this variable changes you
need to re-run the command for it to be reflected in the version
information. Also, if you override this version variable in the build
command as described above, you need to do that also when generating the
resource file, or else it will still use the value from the source.</p>
<pre><code>go run bin/resource_windows.go -version v9.9.9-test</code></pre>
<p>Instead of executing the <code>go build</code> command directly, you
can run it via the Makefile. The default target changes the version
suffix from "-DEV" to "-beta" followed by additional commit details,
embeds version information binary resources on Windows, and copies the
resulting rclone executable into your GOPATH bin folder
(<code>$(go env GOPATH)/bin</code>, which corresponds to
<code>~/go/bin/rclone</code> by default).</p>
<pre><code>make</code></pre>
<p>To include mount command on macOS and Windows with Makefile
build:</p>
<pre><code>make GOTAGS=cmount</code></pre>
<p>There are other make targets that can be used for more advanced
builds, such as cross-compiling for all supported os/architectures, and
packaging results into release artifacts. See <a
href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/blob/master/Makefile">Makefile</a>
and <a
href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/blob/master/bin/cross-compile.go">cross-compile.go</a>
for details.</p>
<p>Another alternative method for source installation is to download the
source, build and install rclone - all in one operation, as a regular Go
package. The source will be stored it in the Go module cache, and the
resulting executable will be in your GOPATH bin folder
(<code>$(go env GOPATH)/bin</code>, which corresponds to
<code>~/go/bin/rclone</code> by default).</p>
<pre><code>go install github.com/rclone/rclone@latest</code></pre>
<p>In some situations, rclone executable size might be too big for
deployment in very restricted environments when all backends with large
SDKs are included. To limit binary size unused backends can be commented
out in <code>backends/all/all.go</code> and unused commands in
<code>cmd/all/all.go</code> before building with <code>go build</code>
or <code>make</code></p>
<h2 id="ansible">Ansible installation</h2>
<p>This can be done with <a
href="https://github.com/stefangweichinger/ansible-rclone">Stefan
Weichinger's ansible role</a>.</p>
<p>Instructions</p>
<ol type="1">
<li><code>git clone https://github.com/stefangweichinger/ansible-rclone.git</code>
into your local roles-directory</li>
<li>add the role to the hosts you want rclone installed to:</li>
</ol>
<pre><code> - hosts: rclone-hosts
roles:
- rclone</code></pre>
<h2 id="portable">Portable installation</h2>
<p>As mentioned <a
href="https://rclone.org/install/#quickstart">above</a>, rclone is
single executable (<code>rclone</code>, or <code>rclone.exe</code> on
Windows) that you can download as a zip archive and extract into a
location of your choosing. When executing different commands, it may
create files in different locations, such as a configuration file and
various temporary files. By default the locations for these are
according to your operating system, e.g. configuration file in your user
profile directory and temporary files in the standard temporary
directory, but you can customize all of them, e.g. to make a completely
self-contained, portable installation.</p>
<p>Run the <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_config_paths/">config paths</a>
command to see the locations that rclone will use.</p>
<p>To override them set the corresponding options (as command-line
arguments, or as <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#environment-variables">environment
variables</a>): - <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#config-config-file">--config</a> - <a

href="https://rclone.org/docs/#temp-dir-dir">--temp-dir</a></p>
<h2 id="autostart">Autostart</h2>
<p>After installing and configuring rclone, as described above, you are
ready to use rclone as an interactive command line utility. If your goal
is to perform <em>periodic</em> operations, such as a regular <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_sync/">sync</a>, you will
probably want to configure your rclone command in your operating
system's scheduler. If you need to expose <em>service</em>-like
features, such as <a href="https://rclone.org/rc/">remote control</a>,
<a href="https://rclone.org/gui/">GUI</a>, <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_serve/">serve</a> or <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_mount/">mount</a>, you will
often want an rclone command always running in the background, and
configuring it to run in a service infrastructure may be a better
option. Below are some alternatives on how to achieve this on different
operating systems.</p>
<p>NOTE: Before setting up autorun it is highly recommended that you
have tested your command manually from a Command Prompt first.</p>
<h3 id="autostart-on-windows">Autostart on Windows</h3>
<p>The most relevant alternatives for autostart on Windows are: - Run at
user log on using the Startup folder - Run at user log on, at system
startup or at schedule using Task Scheduler - Run at system startup
using Windows service</p>
<h4 id="running-in-background">Running in background</h4>
<p>Rclone is a console application, so if not starting from an existing
Command Prompt, e.g. when starting rclone.exe from a shortcut, it will
open a Command Prompt window. When configuring rclone to run from task
scheduler and windows service you are able to set it to run hidden in
background. From rclone version 1.54 you can also make it run hidden
from anywhere by adding option <code>--no-console</code> (it may still
flash briefly when the program starts). Since rclone normally writes
information and any error messages to the console, you must redirect
this to a file to be able to see it. Rclone has a built-in option
<code>--log-file</code> for that.</p>
<p>Example command to run a sync in background:</p>
<pre><code>c:\rclone\rclone.exe sync c:\files remote:/files --no-console --log-file c:\rclone\logs\sync_files.txt</code></pre>
<h4 id="user-account">User account</h4>
<p>As mentioned in the <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_mount/">mount</a>
documentation, mounted drives created as Administrator are not visible
to other accounts, not even the account that was elevated as
Administrator. By running the mount command as the built-in
<code>SYSTEM</code> user account, it will create drives accessible for
everyone on the system. Both scheduled task and Windows service can be
used to achieve this.</p>
<p>NOTE: Remember that when rclone runs as the <code>SYSTEM</code> user,
the user profile that it sees will not be yours. This means that if you
normally run rclone with configuration file in the default location, to
be able to use the same configuration when running as the system user
you must explicitly tell rclone where to find it with the <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#config-config-file"><code>--config</code></a>
option, or else it will look in the system users profile path
(<code>C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile</code>). To test your
command manually from a Command Prompt, you can run it with the <a
href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/psexec">PsExec</a>
utility from Microsoft's Sysinternals suite, which takes option
<code>-s</code> to execute commands as the <code>SYSTEM</code> user.</p>
<h4 id="start-from-startup-folder">Start from Startup folder</h4>
<p>To quickly execute an rclone command you can simply create a standard
Windows Explorer shortcut for the complete rclone command you want to
run. If you store this shortcut in the special "Startup" start-menu
folder, Windows will automatically run it at login. To open this folder
in Windows Explorer, enter path
<code>%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup</code>, or
<code>C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp</code>
if you want the command to start for <em>every</em> user that logs
in.</p>
<p>This is the easiest approach to autostarting of rclone, but it offers
no functionality to set it to run as different user, or to set
conditions or actions on certain events. Setting up a scheduled task as
described below will often give you better results.</p>
<h4 id="start-from-task-scheduler">Start from Task Scheduler</h4>
<p>Task Scheduler is an administrative tool built into Windows, and it
can be used to configure rclone to be started automatically in a highly
configurable way, e.g. periodically on a schedule, on user log on, or at
system startup. It can run be configured to run as the current user, or
for a mount command that needs to be available to all users it can run
as the <code>SYSTEM</code> user. For technical information, see
https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/win32/taskschd/task-scheduler-start-page.</p>
<h4 id="run-as-service">Run as service</h4>
<p>For running rclone at system startup, you can create a Windows
service that executes your rclone command, as an alternative to
scheduled task configured to run at startup.</p>
<h5 id="mount-command-built-in-service-integration">Mount command
built-in service integration</h5>
<p>For mount commands, rclone has a built-in Windows service integration
via the third-party WinFsp library it uses. Registering as a regular
Windows service easy, as you just have to execute the built-in
PowerShell command <code>New-Service</code> (requires administrative
privileges).</p>
<p>Example of a PowerShell command that creates a Windows service for
mounting some <code>remote:/files</code> as drive letter
<code>X:</code>, for <em>all</em> users (service will be running as the
local system account):</p>
<pre><code>New-Service -Name Rclone -BinaryPathName &#39;c:\rclone\rclone.exe mount remote:/files X: --config c:\rclone\config\rclone.conf --log-file c:\rclone\logs\mount.txt&#39;</code></pre>
<p>The <a
href="https://github.com/billziss-gh/winfsp/wiki/WinFsp-Service-Architecture">WinFsp
service infrastructure</a> supports incorporating services for file
system implementations, such as rclone, into its own launcher service,
as kind of "child services". This has the additional advantage that it
also implements a network provider that integrates into Windows standard
methods for managing network drives. This is currently not officially
supported by Rclone, but with WinFsp version 2019.3 B2 / v1.5B2 or later
it should be possible through path rewriting as described <a
href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/3340">here</a>.</p>
<h5 id="third-party-service-integration">Third-party service
integration</h5>
<p>To Windows service running any rclone command, the excellent
third-party utility <a href="http://nssm.cc">NSSM</a>, the "Non-Sucking
Service Manager", can be used. It includes some advanced features such
as adjusting process priority, defining process environment variables,
redirect to file anything written to stdout, and customized response to
different exit codes, with a GUI to configure everything from (although
it can also be used from command line ).</p>
<p>There are also several other alternatives. To mention one more, <a
href="https://github.com/winsw/winsw">WinSW</a>, "Windows Service
Wrapper", is worth checking out. It requires .NET Framework, but it is
preinstalled on newer versions of Windows, and it also provides
alternative standalone distributions which includes necessary runtime
(.NET 5). WinSW is a command-line only utility, where you have to
manually create an XML file with service configuration. This may be a
drawback for some, but it can also be an advantage as it is easy to back
up and reuse the configuration settings, without having go through
manual steps in a GUI. One thing to note is that by default it does not
restart the service on error, one have to explicit enable this in the
configuration file (via the "onfailure" parameter).</p>
<h3 id="autostart-on-linux">Autostart on Linux</h3>
<h4 id="start-as-a-service">Start as a service</h4>
<p>To always run rclone in background, relevant for mount commands etc,
you can use systemd to set up rclone as a system or user service.
Running as a system service ensures that it is run at startup even if
the user it is running as has no active session. Running rclone as a
user service ensures that it only starts after the configured user has
logged into the system.</p>
<h4 id="run-periodically-from-cron">Run periodically from cron</h4>
<p>To run a periodic command, such as a copy/sync, you can set up a cron
job.</p>
<h1 id="usage">Usage</h1>

<h2 id="basic-syntax">Basic syntax</h2>
<p>Rclone syncs a directory tree from one storage system to another.</p>
<p>Its syntax is like this</p>
<pre><code>rclone subcommand [options] &lt;parameters&gt; &lt;parameters...&gt;</code></pre>
<p>A <code>subcommand</code> is a the rclone operation required, (e.g.
<code>sync</code>, <code>copy</code>, <code>ls</code>).</p>
<p>An <code>option</code> is a single letter flag (e.g. <code>-v</code>)
or a group of single letter flags (e.g. <code>-Pv</code>) or a long flag
(e.g. <code>--progress</code>). No options are required. Options can
come after the <code>subcommand</code> or in between parameters too or
on the end, but only global options can be used before the
<code>subcommand</code>. Anything after a <code>--</code> option will
not be interpreted as an option so if you need to add a parameter which
starts with a <code>-</code> then put a <code>--</code> on its own
first, eg</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsf -- -directory-starting-with-dash</code></pre>
<p>A <code>parameter</code> is usually a file path or <a
href="#syntax-of-remote-paths">rclone remote</a>, eg
<code>/path/to/file</code> or <code>remote:path/to/file</code> but it
can be other things - the <code>subcommand</code> help will tell you
what.</p>
<p>Source and destination paths are specified by the name you gave the
storage system in the config file then the sub path, e.g.
"drive:myfolder" to look at "myfolder" in Google drive.</p>
<p>You can define as many storage paths as you like in the config
file.</p>
<p>Please use the <a
href="#interactive"><code>--interactive</code>/<code>-i</code></a> flag
while learning rclone to avoid accidental data loss.</p>
<h2 id="subcommands">Subcommands</h2>
<p>rclone uses a system of subcommands. For example</p>
<pre><code>rclone ls remote:path # lists a remote
rclone copy /local/path remote:path # copies /local/path to the remote
rclone sync --interactive /local/path remote:path # syncs /local/path to the remote</code></pre>
<h1 id="rclone-config">rclone config</h1>
<p>Enter an interactive configuration session.</p>
<h2 id="synopsis">Synopsis</h2>
<p>Enter an interactive configuration session where you can setup new
remotes and manage existing ones. You may also set or remove a password

<h1 id="rclone-copy">rclone copy</h1>
<p>Copy files from source to dest, skipping identical files.</p>
<h2 id="synopsis-1">Synopsis</h2>
<p>Copy the source to the destination. Does not transfer files that are
identical on source and destination, testing by size and modification
time or MD5SUM. Doesn't delete files from the destination. If you want
to also delete files from destination, to make it match source, use the
<a href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_sync/">sync</a> command
instead.</p>
<p>Note that it is always the contents of the directory that is synced,
not the directory itself. So when source:path is a directory, it's the
contents of source:path that are copied, not the directory name and
contents.</p>
<p>To copy single files, use the <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_copyto/">copyto</a> command
instead.</p>
<p>If dest:path doesn't exist, it is created and the source:path
contents go there.</p>
<p>For example</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy source:sourcepath dest:destpath</code></pre>
<p>Let's say there are two files in sourcepath</p>
<pre><code>sourcepath/one.txt
sourcepath/two.txt</code></pre>
<p>This copies them to</p>
<pre><code>destpath/one.txt
destpath/two.txt</code></pre>
<p>Not to</p>
<pre><code>destpath/sourcepath/one.txt
destpath/sourcepath/two.txt</code></pre>
<p>If you are familiar with <code>rsync</code>, rclone always works as
if you had written a trailing <code>/</code> - meaning "copy the
contents of this directory". This applies to all commands and whether
you are talking about the source or destination.</p>
<p>See the <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#no-traverse">--no-traverse</a> option for
controlling whether rclone lists the destination directory or not.
Supplying this option when copying a small number of files into a large
destination can speed transfers up greatly.</p>
<p>For example, if you have many files in /path/to/src but only a few of
them change every day, you can copy all the files which have changed
recently very efficiently like this:</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy --max-age 24h --no-traverse /path/to/src remote:</code></pre>
<p>Rclone will sync the modification times of files and directories if
the backend supports it. If metadata syncing is required then use the
<code>--metadata</code> flag.</p>
<p>Note that the modification time and metadata for the root directory
will <strong>not</strong> be synced. See
https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/7652 for more info.</p>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: Use the
<code>-P</code>/<code>--progress</code> flag to view real-time transfer
statistics.</p>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: Use the <code>--dry-run</code> or the
<code>--interactive</code>/<code>-i</code> flag to test without copying
anything.</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy source:path dest:path [flags]</code></pre>

<h1 id="rclone-sync">rclone sync</h1>
<p>Make source and dest identical, modifying destination only.</p>
<h2 id="synopsis-2">Synopsis</h2>
<p>Sync the source to the destination, changing the destination only.
Doesn't transfer files that are identical on source and destination,
testing by size and modification time or MD5SUM. Destination is updated
to match source, including deleting files if necessary (except duplicate
objects, see below). If you don't want to delete files from destination,
use the <a href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_copy/">copy</a>
command instead.</p>
<p><strong>Important</strong>: Since this can cause data loss, test
first with the <code>--dry-run</code> or the
<code>--interactive</code>/<code>-i</code> flag.</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync --interactive SOURCE remote:DESTINATION</code></pre>
<p>Note that files in the destination won't be deleted if there were any
errors at any point. Duplicate objects (files with the same name, on
those providers that support it) are also not yet handled.</p>
<p>It is always the contents of the directory that is synced, not the
directory itself. So when source:path is a directory, it's the contents
of source:path that are copied, not the directory name and contents. See
extended explanation in the <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_copy/">copy</a> command if
unsure.</p>
<p>If dest:path doesn't exist, it is created and the source:path
contents go there.</p>
<p>It is not possible to sync overlapping remotes. However, you may
exclude the destination from the sync with a filter rule or by putting
an exclude-if-present file inside the destination directory and sync to
a destination that is inside the source directory.</p>
<p>Rclone will sync the modification times of files and directories if
the backend supports it. If metadata syncing is required then use the
<code>--metadata</code> flag.</p>
<p>Note that the modification time and metadata for the root directory
will <strong>not</strong> be synced. See
https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/7652 for more info.</p>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: Use the
<code>-P</code>/<code>--progress</code> flag to view real-time transfer
statistics</p>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: Use the <code>rclone dedupe</code> command to
deal with "Duplicate object/directory found in source/destination -
ignoring" errors. See <a
href="https://forum.rclone.org/t/sync-not-clearing-duplicates/14372">this
forum post</a> for more info.</p>
<h1 id="logger-flags">Logger Flags</h1>
<p>The <code>--differ</code>, <code>--missing-on-dst</code>,
<code>--missing-on-src</code>, <code>--match</code> and
<code>--error</code> flags write paths, one per line, to the file name
(or stdout if it is <code>-</code>) supplied. What they write is
described in the help below. For example <code>--differ</code> will
write all paths which are present on both the source and destination but
different.</p>
<p>The <code>--combined</code> flag will write a file (or stdout) which
contains all file paths with a symbol and then a space and then the path
to tell you what happened to it. These are reminiscent of diff
files.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>= path</code> means path was found in source and destination
and was identical</li>
<li><code>- path</code> means path was missing on the source, so only in
the destination</li>
<li><code>+ path</code> means path was missing on the destination, so
only in the source</li>
<li><code>* path</code> means path was present in source and destination
but different.</li>
<li><code>! path</code> means there was an error reading or hashing the
source or dest.</li>
</ul>
<p>The <code>--dest-after</code> flag writes a list file using the same
format flags as <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_lsf/#synopsis"><code>lsf</code></a>
(including <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_lsf/#synopsis">customizable
options for hash, modtime, etc.</a>) Conceptually it is similar to
rsync's <code>--itemize-changes</code>, but not identical -- it should
output an accurate list of what will be on the destination after the
sync.</p>
<p>Note that these logger flags have a few limitations, and certain
scenarios are not currently supported:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>--max-duration</code> / <code>CutoffModeHard</code></li>
<li><code>--compare-dest</code> / <code>--copy-dest</code></li>
<li>server-side moves of an entire dir at once</li>
<li>High-level retries, because there would be duplicates (use
<code>--retries 1</code> to disable)</li>
<li>Possibly some unusual error scenarios</li>
</ul>
<p>Note also that each file is logged during the sync, as opposed to
after, so it is most useful as a predictor of what SHOULD happen to each
file (which may or may not match what actually DID.)</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync source:path dest:path [flags]</code></pre>

<h1 id="rclone-move">rclone move</h1>
<p>Move files from source to dest.</p>
<h2 id="synopsis-3">Synopsis</h2>
<p>Moves the contents of the source directory to the destination
directory. Rclone will error if the source and destination overlap and
the remote does not support a server-side directory move operation.</p>
<p>To move single files, use the <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_moveto/">moveto</a> command
instead.</p>
<p>If no filters are in use and if possible this will server-side move
<code>source:path</code> into <code>dest:path</code>. After this
<code>source:path</code> will no longer exist.</p>
<p>Otherwise for each file in <code>source:path</code> selected by the
filters (if any) this will move it into <code>dest:path</code>. If
possible a server-side move will be used, otherwise it will copy it
(server-side if possible) into <code>dest:path</code> then delete the
original (if no errors on copy) in <code>source:path</code>.</p>
<p>If you want to delete empty source directories after move, use the
<code>--delete-empty-src-dirs</code> flag.</p>
<p>See the <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#no-traverse">--no-traverse</a> option for
controlling whether rclone lists the destination directory or not.
Supplying this option when moving a small number of files into a large
destination can speed transfers up greatly.</p>
<p>Rclone will sync the modification times of files and directories if
the backend supports it. If metadata syncing is required then use the
<code>--metadata</code> flag.</p>
<p>Note that the modification time and metadata for the root directory
will <strong>not</strong> be synced. See
https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/7652 for more info.</p>
<p><strong>Important</strong>: Since this can cause data loss, test
first with the <code>--dry-run</code> or the
<code>--interactive</code>/<code>-i</code> flag.</p>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: Use the
<code>-P</code>/<code>--progress</code> flag to view real-time transfer
statistics.</p>

<h1 id="rclone-delete">rclone delete</h1>
<p>Remove the files in path.</p>
<h2 id="synopsis-4">Synopsis</h2>
<p>Remove the files in path. Unlike <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_purge/">purge</a> it obeys
include/exclude filters so can be used to selectively delete files.</p>
<p><code>rclone delete</code> only deletes files but leaves the
directory structure alone. If you want to delete a directory and all of
its contents use the <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_purge/">purge</a> command.</p>
<p>If you supply the <code>--rmdirs</code> flag, it will remove all
empty directories along with it. You can also use the separate command
<a href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_rmdir/">rmdir</a> or <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_rmdirs/">rmdirs</a> to delete
empty directories only.</p>
<p>For example, to delete all files bigger than 100 MiB, you may first
want to check what would be deleted (use either):</p>
<pre><code>rclone --min-size 100M lsl remote:path
rclone --dry-run --min-size 100M delete remote:path</code></pre>
<p>Then proceed with the actual delete:</p>
<pre><code>rclone --min-size 100M delete remote:path</code></pre>
<p>That reads "delete everything with a minimum size of 100 MiB", hence
delete all files bigger than 100 MiB.</p>
<p><strong>Important</strong>: Since this can cause data loss, test
first with the <code>--dry-run</code> or the

<h1 id="rclone-check">rclone check</h1>
<p>Checks the files in the source and destination match.</p>
<h2 id="synopsis-7">Synopsis</h2>
<p>Checks the files in the source and destination match. It compares
sizes and hashes (MD5 or SHA1) and logs a report of files that don't
match. It doesn't alter the source or destination.</p>
<p>For the <a href="https://rclone.org/crypt/">crypt</a> remote there is
a dedicated command, <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_cryptcheck/">cryptcheck</a>,
that are able to check the checksums of the encrypted files.</p>
<p>If you supply the <code>--size-only</code> flag, it will only compare
the sizes not the hashes as well. Use this for a quick check.</p>
<p>If you supply the <code>--download</code> flag, it will download the
data from both remotes and check them against each other on the fly.
This can be useful for remotes that don't support hashes or if you
really want to check all the data.</p>
<p>If you supply the <code>--checkfile HASH</code> flag with a valid
hash name, the <code>source:path</code> must point to a text file in the
SUM format.</p>
<p>If you supply the <code>--one-way</code> flag, it will only check
that files in the source match the files in the destination, not the
other way around. This means that extra files in the destination that
are not in the source will not be detected.</p>
<p>The <code>--differ</code>, <code>--missing-on-dst</code>,
<code>--missing-on-src</code>, <code>--match</code> and
<code>--error</code> flags write paths, one per line, to the file name
(or stdout if it is <code>-</code>) supplied. What they write is
described in the help below. For example <code>--differ</code> will
write all paths which are present on both the source and destination but
different.</p>
<p>The <code>--combined</code> flag will write a file (or stdout) which
contains all file paths with a symbol and then a space and then the path
to tell you what happened to it. These are reminiscent of diff
files.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>= path</code> means path was found in source and destination
and was identical</li>
<li><code>- path</code> means path was missing on the source, so only in
the destination</li>
<li><code>+ path</code> means path was missing on the destination, so
only in the source</li>
<li><code>* path</code> means path was present in source and destination
but different.</li>
<li><code>! path</code> means there was an error reading or hashing the
source or dest.</li>
</ul>
<p>The default number of parallel checks is 8. See the <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#checkers-n">--checkers=N</a> option for
more information.</p>

recurse by default. Use the <code>-R</code> flag to recurse.</p>
<p>This command lists the total size of the directory (if known, -1 if
not), the modification time (if known, the current time if not), the
number of objects in the directory (if known, -1 if not) and the name of
the directory, Eg</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone lsd swift:
494000 2018-04-26 08:43:20 10000 10000files
65 2018-04-26 08:43:20 1 1File</code></pre>
<p>Or</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone lsd drive:test

-1 2017-07-08 14:39:28 -1 4000files</code></pre>
<p>If you just want the directory names use
<code>rclone lsf --dirs-only</code>.</p>
<p>Any of the filtering options can be applied to this command.</p>
<p>There are several related list commands</p>
<ul>
<li><code>ls</code> to list size and path of objects only</li>
<li><code>lsl</code> to list modification time, size and path of objects
only</li>
<li><code>lsd</code> to list directories only</li>
<li><code>lsf</code> to list objects and directories in easy to parse
format</li>
<li><code>lsjson</code> to list objects and directories in JSON
format</li>
</ul>
<p><code>ls</code>,<code>lsl</code>,<code>lsd</code> are designed to be
human-readable. <code>lsf</code> is designed to be human and
machine-readable. <code>lsjson</code> is designed to be
machine-readable.</p>
<p>Note that <code>ls</code> and <code>lsl</code> recurse by default -
use <code>--max-depth 1</code> to stop the recursion.</p>
<p>The other list commands
<code>lsd</code>,<code>lsf</code>,<code>lsjson</code> do not recurse by
default - use <code>-R</code> to make them recurse.</p>
<p>Listing a nonexistent directory will produce an error except for
remotes which can't have empty directories (e.g. s3, swift, or gcs - the
bucket-based remotes).</p>

<h1 id="rclone-dedupe">rclone dedupe</h1>
<p>Interactively find duplicate filenames and delete/rename them.</p>
<h2 id="synopsis-16">Synopsis</h2>
<p>By default <code>dedupe</code> interactively finds files with
duplicate names and offers to delete all but one or rename them to be
different. This is known as deduping by name.</p>
<p>Deduping by name is only useful with a small group of backends (e.g.
Google Drive, Opendrive) that can have duplicate file names. It can be
run on wrapping backends (e.g. crypt) if they wrap a backend which
supports duplicate file names.</p>
<p>However if <code>--by-hash</code> is passed in then dedupe will find
files with duplicate hashes instead which will work on any backend which
supports at least one hash. This can be used to find files with
duplicate content. This is known as deduping by hash.</p>
<p>If deduping by name, first rclone will merge directories with the
same name. It will do this iteratively until all the identically named
directories have been merged.</p>
<p>Next, if deduping by name, for every group of duplicate file names /
hashes, it will delete all but one identical file it finds without
confirmation. This means that for most duplicated files the
<code>dedupe</code> command will not be interactive.</p>
<p><code>dedupe</code> considers files to be identical if they have the
same file path and the same hash. If the backend does not support hashes
(e.g. crypt wrapping Google Drive) then they will never be found to be
identical. If you use the <code>--size-only</code> flag then files will
be considered identical if they have the same size (any hash will be
ignored). This can be useful on crypt backends which do not support
hashes.</p>
<p>Next rclone will resolve the remaining duplicates. Exactly which
action is taken depends on the dedupe mode. By default, rclone will
interactively query the user for each one.</p>
<p><strong>Important</strong>: Since this can cause data loss, test
first with the <code>--dry-run</code> or the
<code>--interactive</code>/<code>-i</code> flag.</p>
<p>Here is an example run.</p>
<p>Before - with duplicates</p>

<p>Dedupe can be run non interactively using the
<code>--dedupe-mode</code> flag or by using an extra parameter with the
same value</p>
<ul>
<li><code>--dedupe-mode interactive</code> - interactive as above.</li>
<li><code>--dedupe-mode skip</code> - removes identical files then skips
anything left.</li>
<li><code>--dedupe-mode first</code> - removes identical files then
keeps the first one.</li>
<li><code>--dedupe-mode newest</code> - removes identical files then
keeps the newest one.</li>
<li><code>--dedupe-mode oldest</code> - removes identical files then

<li><code>--dedupe-mode rename</code> - removes identical files then
renames the rest to be different.</li>
<li><code>--dedupe-mode list</code> - lists duplicate dirs and files
only and changes nothing.</li>

<p>Get quota information from the remote.</p>
<h2 id="synopsis-17">Synopsis</h2>
<p>Prints quota information about a remote to standard output. The
output is typically used, free, quota and trash contents.</p>
<p>E.g. Typical output from <code>rclone about remote:</code> is:</p>
<pre><code>Total: 17 GiB
Used: 7.444 GiB
Free: 1.315 GiB
Trashed: 100.000 MiB
Other: 8.241 GiB</code></pre>
<p>Where the fields are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Total: Total size available.</li>
<li>Used: Total size used.</li>
<li>Free: Total space available to this user.</li>
<li>Trashed: Total space used by trash.</li>
<li>Other: Total amount in other storage (e.g. Gmail, Google
Photos).</li>
<li>Objects: Total number of objects in the storage.</li>
</ul>

<h1 id="rclone-bisync">rclone bisync</h1>
<p>Perform bidirectional synchronization between two paths.</p>
<h2 id="synopsis-20">Synopsis</h2>
<p>Perform bidirectional synchronization between two paths.</p>
<p><a href="https://rclone.org/bisync/">Bisync</a> provides a
bidirectional cloud sync solution in rclone. It retains the Path1 and
Path2 filesystem listings from the prior run. On each successive run it
will: - list files on Path1 and Path2, and check for changes on each
side. Changes include <code>New</code>, <code>Newer</code>,
<code>Older</code>, and <code>Deleted</code> files. - Propagate changes
on Path1 to Path2, and vice-versa.</p>
<p>Bisync is <strong>in beta</strong> and is considered an
<strong>advanced command</strong>, so use with care. Make sure you have
read and understood the entire <a
href="https://rclone.org/bisync">manual</a> (especially the <a
href="https://rclone.org/bisync/#limitations">Limitations</a> section)
before using, or data loss can result. Questions can be asked in the <a
href="https://forum.rclone.org/">Rclone Forum</a>.</p>
<p>See <a href="https://rclone.org/bisync/">full bisync description</a>
for details.</p>

--no-slow-hash Ignore listing checksums only on backends where they are slow
--recover Automatically recover from interruptions without requiring --resync.
--remove-empty-dirs Remove ALL empty directories at the final cleanup step.
--resilient Allow future runs to retry after certain less-serious errors, instead of requiring --resync. Use at your own risk!
-1, --resync Performs the resync run. Equivalent to --resync-mode path1. Consider using --verbose or --dry-run first.
--resync-mode string During resync, prefer the version that is: path1, path2, newer, older, larger, smaller (default: path1 if --resync, otherwise none for no resync.) (default &quot;none&quot;)
--slow-hash-sync-only Ignore slow checksums for listings and deltas, but still consider them during sync calls.
--workdir string Use custom working dir - useful for testing. (default: {WORKDIR})</code></pre>

<h1 id="rclone-checksum">rclone checksum</h1>
<p>Checks the files in the destination against a SUM file.</p>
<h2 id="synopsis-22">Synopsis</h2>
<p>Checks that hashsums of destination files match the SUM file. It
compares hashes (MD5, SHA1, etc) and logs a report of files which don't
match. It doesn't alter the file system.</p>
<p>The sumfile is treated as the source and the dst:path is treated as
the destination for the purposes of the output.</p>
<p>If you supply the <code>--download</code> flag, it will download the
data from the remote and calculate the content hash on the fly. This can
be useful for remotes that don't support hashes or if you really want to
check all the data.</p>
<p>Note that hash values in the SUM file are treated as case
insensitive.</p>
<p>If you supply the <code>--one-way</code> flag, it will only check
that files in the source match the files in the destination, not the
other way around. This means that extra files in the destination that
are not in the source will not be detected.</p>
<p>The <code>--differ</code>, <code>--missing-on-dst</code>,
<code>--missing-on-src</code>, <code>--match</code> and
<code>--error</code> flags write paths, one per line, to the file name
(or stdout if it is <code>-</code>) supplied. What they write is
described in the help below. For example <code>--differ</code> will
write all paths which are present on both the source and destination but
different.</p>
<p>The <code>--combined</code> flag will write a file (or stdout) which
contains all file paths with a symbol and then a space and then the path
to tell you what happened to it. These are reminiscent of diff
files.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>= path</code> means path was found in source and destination
and was identical</li>
<li><code>- path</code> means path was missing on the source, so only in
the destination</li>
<li><code>+ path</code> means path was missing on the destination, so
only in the source</li>
<li><code>* path</code> means path was present in source and destination
but different.</li>
<li><code>! path</code> means there was an error reading or hashing the
source or dest.</li>
</ul>
<p>The default number of parallel checks is 8. See the <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#checkers-n">--checkers=N</a> option for

<h1 id="rclone-config-create">rclone config create</h1>
<p>Create a new remote with name, type and options.</p>
<h2 id="synopsis-28">Synopsis</h2>
<p>Create a new remote of <code>name</code> with <code>type</code> and
options. The options should be passed in pairs of <code>key</code>
<code>value</code> or as <code>key=value</code>.</p>
<p>For example, to make a swift remote of name myremote using auto
config you would do:</p>
<pre><code>rclone config create myremote swift env_auth true
rclone config create myremote swift env_auth=true</code></pre>
<p>So for example if you wanted to configure a Google Drive remote but
using remote authorization you would do this:</p>
<pre><code>rclone config create mydrive drive config_is_local=false</code></pre>
<p>Note that if the config process would normally ask a question the
default is taken (unless <code>--non-interactive</code> is used). Each
time that happens rclone will print or DEBUG a message saying how to
affect the value taken.</p>
<p>If any of the parameters passed is a password field, then rclone will
automatically obscure them if they aren't already obscured before
putting them in the config file.</p>
<p><strong>NB</strong> If the password parameter is 22 characters or
longer and consists only of base64 characters then rclone can get
confused about whether the password is already obscured or not and put
unobscured passwords into the config file. If you want to be 100%
certain that the passwords get obscured then use the
<code>--obscure</code> flag, or if you are 100% certain you are already
passing obscured passwords then use <code>--no-obscure</code>. You can
also set obscured passwords using the
<code>rclone config password</code> command.</p>
<p>The flag <code>--non-interactive</code> is for use by applications
that wish to configure rclone themselves, rather than using rclone's
text based configuration questions. If this flag is set, and rclone
needs to ask the user a question, a JSON blob will be returned with the
question in it.</p>
<p>This will look something like (some irrelevant detail removed):</p>
<pre><code>{
&quot;State&quot;: &quot;*oauth-islocal,teamdrive,,&quot;,
&quot;Option&quot;: {
&quot;Name&quot;: &quot;config_is_local&quot;,
&quot;Help&quot;: &quot;Use web browser to automatically authenticate rclone with remote?\n * Say Y if the machine running rclone has a web browser you can use\n * Say N if running rclone on a (remote) machine without web browser access\nIf not sure try Y. If Y failed, try N.\n&quot;,
&quot;Default&quot;: true,
&quot;Examples&quot;: [
{
&quot;Value&quot;: &quot;true&quot;,
&quot;Help&quot;: &quot;Yes&quot;
},
{
&quot;Value&quot;: &quot;false&quot;,
&quot;Help&quot;: &quot;No&quot;
}
],
&quot;Required&quot;: false,
&quot;IsPassword&quot;: false,
&quot;Type&quot;: &quot;bool&quot;,
&quot;Exclusive&quot;: true,
},
&quot;Error&quot;: &quot;&quot;,
}</code></pre>
<p>The format of <code>Option</code> is the same as returned by
<code>rclone config providers</code>. The question should be asked to
the user and returned to rclone as the <code>--result</code> option
along with the <code>--state</code> parameter.</p>
<p>The keys of <code>Option</code> are used as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>Name</code> - name of variable - show to user</li>
<li><code>Help</code> - help text. Hard wrapped at 80 chars. Any URLs
should be clicky.</li>
<li><code>Default</code> - default value - return this if the user just
wants the default.</li>
<li><code>Examples</code> - the user should be able to choose one of
these</li>
<li><code>Required</code> - the value should be non-empty</li>
<li><code>IsPassword</code> - the value is a password and should be
edited as such</li>
<li><code>Type</code> - type of value, eg <code>bool</code>,
<code>string</code>, <code>int</code> and others</li>
<li><code>Exclusive</code> - if set no free-form entry allowed only the
<code>Examples</code></li>
<li>Irrelevant keys <code>Provider</code>, <code>ShortOpt</code>,
<code>Hide</code>, <code>NoPrefix</code>, <code>Advanced</code></li>
</ul>
<p>If <code>Error</code> is set then it should be shown to the user at
the same time as the question.</p>
<pre><code>rclone config update name --continue --state &quot;*oauth-islocal,teamdrive,,&quot; --result &quot;true&quot;</code></pre>
<p>Note that when using <code>--continue</code> all passwords should be
passed in the clear (not obscured). Any default config values should be
passed in with each invocation of <code>--continue</code>.</p>
<p>At the end of the non interactive process, rclone will return a
result with <code>State</code> as empty string.</p>
<p>If <code>--all</code> is passed then rclone will ask all the config
questions, not just the post config questions. Any parameters are used
as defaults for questions as usual.</p>
<p>Note that <code>bin/config.py</code> in the rclone source implements
this protocol as a readable demonstration.</p>
<pre><code>rclone config create name type [key value]* [flags]</code></pre>
<h2 id="options-29">Options</h2>
<pre><code> --all Ask the full set of config questions

<p>This command sets or changes the config file encryption password.</p>
<p>If there was no config password set then it sets a new one, otherwise
it changes the existing config password.</p>
<p>Note that if you are changing an encryption password using
<code>--password-command</code> then this will be called once to decrypt
the config using the old password and then again to read the new
password to re-encrypt the config.</p>
<p>When <code>--password-command</code> is called to change the password
then the environment variable <code>RCLONE_PASSWORD_CHANGE=1</code> will
be set. So if changing passwords programatically you can use the
environment variable to distinguish which password you must supply.</p>
<p>Alternatively you can remove the password first (with
<code>rclone config encryption remove</code>), then set it again with
this command which may be easier if you don't mind the unecrypted config
file being on the disk briefly.</p>

<h1 id="rclone-config-update">rclone config update</h1>
<p>Update options in an existing remote.</p>
<h2 id="synopsis-38">Synopsis</h2>
<p>Update an existing remote's options. The options should be passed in
pairs of <code>key</code> <code>value</code> or as
<code>key=value</code>.</p>
<p>For example, to update the env_auth field of a remote of name
myremote you would do:</p>
<pre><code>rclone config update myremote env_auth true
rclone config update myremote env_auth=true</code></pre>
<p>If the remote uses OAuth the token will be updated, if you don't
require this add an extra parameter thus:</p>
<pre><code>rclone config update myremote env_auth=true config_refresh_token=false</code></pre>
<p>Note that if the config process would normally ask a question the
default is taken (unless <code>--non-interactive</code> is used). Each
time that happens rclone will print or DEBUG a message saying how to
affect the value taken.</p>
<p>If any of the parameters passed is a password field, then rclone will
automatically obscure them if they aren't already obscured before
putting them in the config file.</p>
<p><strong>NB</strong> If the password parameter is 22 characters or
longer and consists only of base64 characters then rclone can get
confused about whether the password is already obscured or not and put
unobscured passwords into the config file. If you want to be 100%
certain that the passwords get obscured then use the
<code>--obscure</code> flag, or if you are 100% certain you are already
passing obscured passwords then use <code>--no-obscure</code>. You can
also set obscured passwords using the
<code>rclone config password</code> command.</p>
<p>The flag <code>--non-interactive</code> is for use by applications
that wish to configure rclone themselves, rather than using rclone's
text based configuration questions. If this flag is set, and rclone
needs to ask the user a question, a JSON blob will be returned with the
question in it.</p>
<p>This will look something like (some irrelevant detail removed):</p>
<pre><code>{
&quot;State&quot;: &quot;*oauth-islocal,teamdrive,,&quot;,
&quot;Option&quot;: {
&quot;Name&quot;: &quot;config_is_local&quot;,
&quot;Help&quot;: &quot;Use web browser to automatically authenticate rclone with remote?\n * Say Y if the machine running rclone has a web browser you can use\n * Say N if running rclone on a (remote) machine without web browser access\nIf not sure try Y. If Y failed, try N.\n&quot;,
&quot;Default&quot;: true,
&quot;Examples&quot;: [
{
&quot;Value&quot;: &quot;true&quot;,
&quot;Help&quot;: &quot;Yes&quot;
},
{
&quot;Value&quot;: &quot;false&quot;,
&quot;Help&quot;: &quot;No&quot;
}
],
&quot;Required&quot;: false,
&quot;IsPassword&quot;: false,
&quot;Type&quot;: &quot;bool&quot;,
&quot;Exclusive&quot;: true,
},
&quot;Error&quot;: &quot;&quot;,
}</code></pre>
<p>The format of <code>Option</code> is the same as returned by
<code>rclone config providers</code>. The question should be asked to
the user and returned to rclone as the <code>--result</code> option
along with the <code>--state</code> parameter.</p>
<p>The keys of <code>Option</code> are used as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>Name</code> - name of variable - show to user</li>
<li><code>Help</code> - help text. Hard wrapped at 80 chars. Any URLs
should be clicky.</li>
<li><code>Default</code> - default value - return this if the user just
wants the default.</li>
<li><code>Examples</code> - the user should be able to choose one of
these</li>
<li><code>Required</code> - the value should be non-empty</li>
<li><code>IsPassword</code> - the value is a password and should be
edited as such</li>
<li><code>Type</code> - type of value, eg <code>bool</code>,
<code>string</code>, <code>int</code> and others</li>
<li><code>Exclusive</code> - if set no free-form entry allowed only the
<code>Examples</code></li>
<li>Irrelevant keys <code>Provider</code>, <code>ShortOpt</code>,
<code>Hide</code>, <code>NoPrefix</code>, <code>Advanced</code></li>
</ul>
<p>If <code>Error</code> is set then it should be shown to the user at
the same time as the question.</p>
<pre><code>rclone config update name --continue --state &quot;*oauth-islocal,teamdrive,,&quot; --result &quot;true&quot;</code></pre>
<p>Note that when using <code>--continue</code> all passwords should be
passed in the clear (not obscured). Any default config values should be
passed in with each invocation of <code>--continue</code>.</p>
<p>At the end of the non interactive process, rclone will return a
result with <code>State</code> as empty string.</p>
<p>If <code>--all</code> is passed then rclone will ask all the config
questions, not just the post config questions. Any parameters are used
as defaults for questions as usual.</p>
<p>Note that <code>bin/config.py</code> in the rclone source implements
this protocol as a readable demonstration.</p>

<p>Copy files from source to dest, skipping identical files.</p>
<h2 id="synopsis-40">Synopsis</h2>
<p>If source:path is a file or directory then it copies it to a file or
directory named dest:path.</p>
<p>This can be used to upload single files to other than their current
name. If the source is a directory then it acts exactly like the <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_copy/">copy</a> command.</p>
<p>So</p>
<pre><code>rclone copyto src dst</code></pre>
<p>where src and dst are rclone paths, either remote:path or
/path/to/local or C:.</p>
<p>This will:</p>
<pre><code>if src is file
copy it to dst, overwriting an existing file if it exists
if src is directory
copy it to dst, overwriting existing files if they exist
see copy command for full details</code></pre>
<p>This doesn't transfer files that are identical on src and dst,
testing by size and modification time or MD5SUM. It doesn't delete files
from the destination.</p>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: Use the
<code>-P</code>/<code>--progress</code> flag to view real-time transfer
statistics</p>

<h1 id="rclone-cryptcheck">rclone cryptcheck</h1>
<p>Cryptcheck checks the integrity of an encrypted remote.</p>
<h2 id="synopsis-42">Synopsis</h2>
<p>Checks a remote against a <a
href="https://rclone.org/crypt/">crypted</a> remote. This is the
equivalent of running rclone <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_check/">check</a>, but able to
check the checksums of the encrypted remote.</p>
<p>For it to work the underlying remote of the cryptedremote must
support some kind of checksum.</p>
<p>It works by reading the nonce from each file on the cryptedremote:
and using that to encrypt each file on the remote:. It then checks the
checksum of the underlying file on the cryptedremote: against the
checksum of the file it has just encrypted.</p>
<p>Use it like this</p>
<pre><code>rclone cryptcheck /path/to/files encryptedremote:path</code></pre>
<p>You can use it like this also, but that will involve downloading all
the files in remote:path.</p>
<pre><code>rclone cryptcheck remote:path encryptedremote:path</code></pre>
<p>After it has run it will log the status of the encryptedremote:.</p>
<p>If you supply the <code>--one-way</code> flag, it will only check
that files in the source match the files in the destination, not the
other way around. This means that extra files in the destination that
are not in the source will not be detected.</p>
<p>The <code>--differ</code>, <code>--missing-on-dst</code>,
<code>--missing-on-src</code>, <code>--match</code> and
<code>--error</code> flags write paths, one per line, to the file name
(or stdout if it is <code>-</code>) supplied. What they write is
described in the help below. For example <code>--differ</code> will
write all paths which are present on both the source and destination but
different.</p>
<p>The <code>--combined</code> flag will write a file (or stdout) which
contains all file paths with a symbol and then a space and then the path
to tell you what happened to it. These are reminiscent of diff
files.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>= path</code> means path was found in source and destination
and was identical</li>
<li><code>- path</code> means path was missing on the source, so only in
the destination</li>
<li><code>+ path</code> means path was missing on the destination, so
only in the source</li>
<li><code>* path</code> means path was present in source and destination
but different.</li>
<li><code>! path</code> means there was an error reading or hashing the
source or dest.</li>
</ul>
<p>The default number of parallel checks is 8. See the <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#checkers-n">--checkers=N</a> option for
more information.</p>

<p>Produces a hashsum file for all the objects in the path.</p>
<h2 id="synopsis-47">Synopsis</h2>
<p>Produces a hash file for all the objects in the path using the hash
named. The output is in the same format as the standard md5sum/sha1sum
tool.</p>
<p>By default, the hash is requested from the remote. If the hash is not
supported by the remote, no hash will be returned. With the download
flag, the file will be downloaded from the remote and hashed locally
enabling any hash for any remote.</p>
<p>For the MD5 and SHA1 algorithms there are also dedicated commands, <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_md5sum/">md5sum</a> and <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_sha1sum/">sha1sum</a>.</p>
<p>This command can also hash data received on standard input (stdin),
by not passing a remote:path, or by passing a hyphen as remote:path when
there is data to read (if not, the hyphen will be treated literally, as
a relative path).</p>
<p>Run without a hash to see the list of all supported hashes, e.g.</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone hashsum
Supported hashes are:
* md5
* sha1
* whirlpool
* crc32
* sha256</code></pre>
<p>Then</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone hashsum MD5 remote:path</code></pre>
<p>Note that hash names are case insensitive and values are output in
lower case.</p>

it then the link returned won't expire.</p>
<p>Use the --unlink flag to remove existing public links to the file or

those that don't will just ignore it.</p>

<h1 id="rclone-lsf">rclone lsf</h1>
<p>List directories and objects in remote:path formatted for
parsing.</p>
<h2 id="synopsis-50">Synopsis</h2>
<p>List the contents of the source path (directories and objects) to
standard output in a form which is easy to parse by scripts. By default
this will just be the names of the objects and directories, one per
line. The directories will have a / suffix.</p>
<p>Eg</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone lsf swift:bucket
bevajer5jef
canole
diwogej7
ferejej3gux/
fubuwic</code></pre>
<p>Use the <code>--format</code> option to control what gets listed. By
default this is just the path, but you can use these parameters to
control the output:</p>
<pre><code>p - path
s - size
t - modification time
h - hash
i - ID of object
o - Original ID of underlying object
m - MimeType of object if known
e - encrypted name
T - tier of storage if known, e.g. &quot;Hot&quot; or &quot;Cool&quot;
M - Metadata of object in JSON blob format, eg {&quot;key&quot;:&quot;value&quot;}</code></pre>
<p>So if you wanted the path, size and modification time, you would use
<code>--format "pst"</code>, or maybe <code>--format "tsp"</code> to put
the path last.</p>
<p>Eg</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone lsf --format &quot;tsp&quot; swift:bucket
2016-06-25 18:55:41;60295;bevajer5jef
2016-06-25 18:55:43;90613;canole
2016-06-25 18:55:43;94467;diwogej7
2018-04-26 08:50:45;0;ferejej3gux/
2016-06-25 18:55:40;37600;fubuwic</code></pre>
<p>If you specify "h" in the format you will get the MD5 hash by
default, use the <code>--hash</code> flag to change which hash you want.
Note that this can be returned as an empty string if it isn't available
on the object (and for directories), "ERROR" if there was an error
reading it from the object and "UNSUPPORTED" if that object does not
support that hash type.</p>
<p>For example, to emulate the md5sum command you can use</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsf -R --hash MD5 --format hp --separator &quot; &quot; --files-only .</code></pre>
<p>Eg</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone lsf -R --hash MD5 --format hp --separator &quot; &quot; --files-only swift:bucket

99713e14a4c4ff553acaf1930fad985b gixacuh7ku</code></pre>
<p>(Though "rclone md5sum ." is an easier way of typing this.)</p>
<p>By default the separator is ";" this can be changed with the
<code>--separator</code> flag. Note that separators aren't escaped in
the path so putting it last is a good strategy.</p>
<p>Eg</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone lsf --separator &quot;,&quot; --format &quot;tshp&quot; swift:bucket

<p>You can output in CSV standard format. This will escape things in "
if they contain ,</p>
<p>Eg</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone lsf --csv --files-only --format ps remote:path
test.log,22355
test.sh,449
&quot;this file contains a comma, in the file name.txt&quot;,6</code></pre>
<p>Note that the <code>--absolute</code> parameter is useful for making
lists of files to pass to an rclone copy with the
<code>--files-from-raw</code> flag.</p>
<p>For example, to find all the files modified within one day and copy
those only (without traversing the whole directory structure):</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsf --absolute --files-only --max-age 1d /path/to/local &gt; new_files
rclone copy --files-from-raw new_files /path/to/local remote:path</code></pre>
<p>The default time format is <code>'2006-01-02 15:04:05'</code>. <a
href="https://pkg.go.dev/time#pkg-constants">Other formats</a> can be
specified with the <code>--time-format</code> flag. Examples:</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsf remote:path --format pt --time-format &#39;Jan 2, 2006 at 3:04pm (MST)&#39;
rclone lsf remote:path --format pt --time-format &#39;2006-01-02 15:04:05.000000000&#39;
rclone lsf remote:path --format pt --time-format &#39;2006-01-02T15:04:05.999999999Z07:00&#39;
rclone lsf remote:path --format pt --time-format RFC3339
rclone lsf remote:path --format pt --time-format DateOnly
rclone lsf remote:path --format pt --time-format max</code></pre>
<p><code>--time-format max</code> will automatically truncate
'<code>2006-01-02 15:04:05.000000000</code>' to the maximum precision
supported by the remote.</p>
<p>Any of the filtering options can be applied to this command.</p>
<p>There are several related list commands</p>
<ul>
<li><code>ls</code> to list size and path of objects only</li>
<li><code>lsl</code> to list modification time, size and path of objects
only</li>
<li><code>lsd</code> to list directories only</li>
<li><code>lsf</code> to list objects and directories in easy to parse
format</li>
<li><code>lsjson</code> to list objects and directories in JSON
format</li>
</ul>
<p><code>ls</code>,<code>lsl</code>,<code>lsd</code> are designed to be
human-readable. <code>lsf</code> is designed to be human and
machine-readable. <code>lsjson</code> is designed to be
machine-readable.</p>
<p>Note that <code>ls</code> and <code>lsl</code> recurse by default -
use <code>--max-depth 1</code> to stop the recursion.</p>
<p>The other list commands
<code>lsd</code>,<code>lsf</code>,<code>lsjson</code> do not recurse by
default - use <code>-R</code> to make them recurse.</p>
<p>Listing a nonexistent directory will produce an error except for
remotes which can't have empty directories (e.g. s3, swift, or gcs - the
bucket-based remotes).</p>

encrypted remotes, and (as mentioned below) only if the
<code>--encrypted</code> option is set.</li>
</ul>
<p>Different options may also affect which properties are included:</p>
<ul>
<li>If <code>--hash</code> is not specified, the Hashes property will be
omitted. The types of hash can be specified with the
<code>--hash-type</code> parameter (which may be repeated). If
<code>--hash-type</code> is set then it implies
<code>--hash</code>.</li>
<li>If <code>--no-modtime</code> is specified then ModTime will be
blank. This can speed things up on remotes where reading the ModTime
takes an extra request (e.g. s3, swift).</li>
<li>If <code>--no-mimetype</code> is specified then MimeType will be
blank. This can speed things up on remotes where reading the MimeType
takes an extra request (e.g. s3, swift).</li>
<li>If <code>--encrypted</code> is not specified the Encrypted and
EncryptedPath properties will be omitted - even for encrypted
remotes.</li>
<li>If <code>--metadata</code> is set then an additional Metadata
property will be returned. This will have <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#metadata">metadata</a> in rclone standard
format as a JSON object.</li>
</ul>
<p>The default is to list directories and files/objects, but this can be
changed with the following options:</p>
<ul>
<li>If <code>--dirs-only</code> is specified then directories will be
returned only, no files/objects.</li>
<li>If <code>--files-only</code> is specified then files will be
returned only, no directories.</li>
</ul>
<p>If <code>--stat</code> is set then the the output is not an array of
items, but instead a single JSON blob will be returned about the item
pointed to. This will return an error if the item isn't found, however
on bucket based backends (like s3, gcs, b2, azureblob etc) if the item
isn't found it will return an empty directory, as it isn't possible to
tell empty directories from missing directories there.</p>
<p>The Path field will only show folders below the remote path being
listed. If "remote:path" contains the file "subfolder/file.txt", the
Path for "file.txt" will be "subfolder/file.txt", not
"remote:path/subfolder/file.txt". When used without
<code>--recursive</code> the Path will always be the same as Name.</p>
<p>The time is in RFC3339 format with up to nanosecond precision. The
number of decimal digits in the seconds will depend on the precision
that the remote can hold the times, so if times are accurate to the
nearest millisecond (e.g. Google Drive) then 3 digits will always be
shown ("2017-05-31T16:15:57.034+01:00") whereas if the times are
accurate to the nearest second (Dropbox, Box, WebDav, etc.) no digits
will be shown ("2017-05-31T16:15:57+01:00").</p>
<p>The whole output can be processed as a JSON blob, or alternatively it
can be processed line by line as each item is written on individual
lines (except with <code>--stat</code>).</p>
<p>Any of the filtering options can be applied to this command.</p>
<p>There are several related list commands</p>
<ul>
<li><code>ls</code> to list size and path of objects only</li>
<li><code>lsl</code> to list modification time, size and path of objects
only</li>
<li><code>lsd</code> to list directories only</li>
<li><code>lsf</code> to list objects and directories in easy to parse
format</li>
<li><code>lsjson</code> to list objects and directories in JSON
format</li>
</ul>
<p><code>ls</code>,<code>lsl</code>,<code>lsd</code> are designed to be
human-readable. <code>lsf</code> is designed to be human and
machine-readable. <code>lsjson</code> is designed to be
machine-readable.</p>
<p>Note that <code>ls</code> and <code>lsl</code> recurse by default -
use <code>--max-depth 1</code> to stop the recursion.</p>
<p>The other list commands
<code>lsd</code>,<code>lsf</code>,<code>lsjson</code> do not recurse by
default - use <code>-R</code> to make them recurse.</p>
<p>Listing a nonexistent directory will produce an error except for
remotes which can't have empty directories (e.g. s3, swift, or gcs - the
bucket-based remotes).</p>

<h1 id="rclone-mount">rclone mount</h1>
<p>Mount the remote as file system on a mountpoint.</p>
<h2 id="synopsis-52">Synopsis</h2>
<p>Rclone mount allows Linux, FreeBSD, macOS and Windows to mount any of
Rclone's cloud storage systems as a file system with FUSE.</p>
<p>First set up your remote using <code>rclone config</code>. Check it
works with <code>rclone ls</code> etc.</p>
<p>On Linux and macOS, you can run mount in either foreground or
background (aka daemon) mode. Mount runs in foreground mode by default.
Use the <code>--daemon</code> flag to force background mode. On Windows
you can run mount in foreground only, the flag is ignored.</p>
<p>In background mode rclone acts as a generic Unix mount program: the
main program starts, spawns background rclone process to setup and
maintain the mount, waits until success or timeout and exits with
appropriate code (killing the child process if it fails).</p>
<p>On Linux/macOS/FreeBSD start the mount like this, where
<code>/path/to/local/mount</code> is an <strong>empty</strong>
<strong>existing</strong> directory:</p>
<pre><code>rclone mount remote:path/to/files /path/to/local/mount</code></pre>
<p>On Windows you can start a mount in different ways. See <a
href="#mounting-modes-on-windows">below</a> for details. If foreground
mount is used interactively from a console window, rclone will serve the
mount and occupy the console so another window should be used to work
with the mount until rclone is interrupted e.g. by pressing Ctrl-C.</p>
<p>The following examples will mount to an automatically assigned drive,
to specific drive letter <code>X:</code>, to path
<code>C:\path\parent\mount</code> (where parent directory or drive must
exist, and mount must <strong>not</strong> exist, and is not supported
when <a href="#mounting-modes-on-windows">mounting as a network
drive</a>), and the last example will mount as network share
<code>\\cloud\remote</code> and map it to an automatically assigned
drive:</p>
<pre><code>rclone mount remote:path/to/files *
rclone mount remote:path/to/files X:
rclone mount remote:path/to/files C:\path\parent\mount
rclone mount remote:path/to/files \\cloud\remote</code></pre>
<p>When the program ends while in foreground mode, either via Ctrl+C or
receiving a SIGINT or SIGTERM signal, the mount should be automatically
stopped.</p>
<p>When running in background mode the user will have to stop the mount
manually:</p>
<pre><code># Linux
fusermount -u /path/to/local/mount
#... or on some systems
fusermount3 -u /path/to/local/mount
# OS X or Linux when using nfsmount
umount /path/to/local/mount</code></pre>
<p>The umount operation can fail, for example when the mountpoint is
busy. When that happens, it is the user's responsibility to stop the
mount manually.</p>
<p>The size of the mounted file system will be set according to
information retrieved from the remote, the same as returned by the <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_about/">rclone about</a>
command. Remotes with unlimited storage may report the used size only,
then an additional 1 PiB of free space is assumed. If the remote does
not <a href="https://rclone.org/overview/#optional-features">support</a>
the about feature at all, then 1 PiB is set as both the total and the
free size.</p>
<h2 id="installing-on-windows">Installing on Windows</h2>
<p>To run rclone mount on Windows, you will need to download and install
<a href="http://www.secfs.net/winfsp/">WinFsp</a>.</p>
<p><a href="https://github.com/winfsp/winfsp">WinFsp</a> is an
open-source Windows File System Proxy which makes it easy to write user
space file systems for Windows. It provides a FUSE emulation layer which
rclone uses combination with <a
href="https://github.com/winfsp/cgofuse">cgofuse</a>. Both of these
packages are by Bill Zissimopoulos who was very helpful during the
implementation of rclone mount for Windows.</p>
<h3 id="mounting-modes-on-windows">Mounting modes on windows</h3>
<p>Unlike other operating systems, Microsoft Windows provides a
different filesystem type for network and fixed drives. It optimises
access on the assumption fixed disk drives are fast and reliable, while
network drives have relatively high latency and less reliability. Some
settings can also be differentiated between the two types, for example
that Windows Explorer should just display icons and not create preview
thumbnails for image and video files on network drives.</p>
<p>In most cases, rclone will mount the remote as a normal, fixed disk
drive by default. However, you can also choose to mount it as a remote
network drive, often described as a network share. If you mount an
rclone remote using the default, fixed drive mode and experience
unexpected program errors, freezes or other issues, consider mounting as
a network drive instead.</p>
<p>When mounting as a fixed disk drive you can either mount to an unused
drive letter, or to a path representing a <strong>nonexistent</strong>
subdirectory of an <strong>existing</strong> parent directory or drive.
Using the special value <code>*</code> will tell rclone to automatically
assign the next available drive letter, starting with Z: and moving
backward. Examples:</p>
<pre><code>rclone mount remote:path/to/files *
rclone mount remote:path/to/files X:
rclone mount remote:path/to/files C:\path\parent\mount
rclone mount remote:path/to/files X:</code></pre>
<p>Option <code>--volname</code> can be used to set a custom volume name
for the mounted file system. The default is to use the remote name and
path.</p>
<p>To mount as network drive, you can add option
<code>--network-mode</code> to your mount command. Mounting to a
directory path is not supported in this mode, it is a limitation Windows
imposes on junctions, so the remote must always be mounted to a drive
letter.</p>
<pre><code>rclone mount remote:path/to/files X: --network-mode</code></pre>
<p>A volume name specified with <code>--volname</code> will be used to
create the network share path. A complete UNC path, such as
<code>\\cloud\remote</code>, optionally with path
<code>\\cloud\remote\madeup\path</code>, will be used as is. Any other
string will be used as the share part, after a default prefix
<code>\\server\</code>. If no volume name is specified then
<code>\\server\share</code> will be used. You must make sure the volume
name is unique when you are mounting more than one drive, or else the
mount command will fail. The share name will treated as the volume label
for the mapped drive, shown in Windows Explorer etc, while the complete
<code>\\server\share</code> will be reported as the remote UNC path by
<code>net use</code> etc, just like a normal network drive mapping.</p>
<p>If you specify a full network share UNC path with
<code>--volname</code>, this will implicitly set the
<code>--network-mode</code> option, so the following two examples have
same result:</p>
<pre><code>rclone mount remote:path/to/files X: --network-mode
rclone mount remote:path/to/files X: --volname \\server\share</code></pre>
<p>You may also specify the network share UNC path as the mountpoint
itself. Then rclone will automatically assign a drive letter, same as
with <code>*</code> and use that as mountpoint, and instead use the UNC
path specified as the volume name, as if it were specified with the
<code>--volname</code> option. This will also implicitly set the
<code>--network-mode</code> option. This means the following two
examples have same result:</p>
<pre><code>rclone mount remote:path/to/files \\cloud\remote
rclone mount remote:path/to/files * --volname \\cloud\remote</code></pre>
<p>There is yet another way to enable network mode, and to set the share
path, and that is to pass the "native" libfuse/WinFsp option directly:
<code>--fuse-flag --VolumePrefix=\server\share</code>. Note that the
path must be with just a single backslash prefix in this case.</p>
<p><em>Note:</em> In previous versions of rclone this was the only
supported method.</p>

<h3 id="windows-filesystem-permissions">Windows filesystem
permissions</h3>
<p>The FUSE emulation layer on Windows must convert between the
POSIX-based permission model used in FUSE, and the permission model used
in Windows, based on access-control lists (ACL).</p>
<p>The mounted filesystem will normally get three entries in its
access-control list (ACL), representing permissions for the POSIX
permission scopes: Owner, group and others. By default, the owner and
group will be taken from the current user, and the built-in group
"Everyone" will be used to represent others. The user/group can be
customized with FUSE options "UserName" and "GroupName", e.g.
<code>-o UserName=user123 -o GroupName="Authenticated Users"</code>. The
permissions on each entry will be set according to <a
href="#options">options</a> <code>--dir-perms</code> and
<code>--file-perms</code>, which takes a value in traditional Unix <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File-system_permissions#Numeric_notation">numeric
notation</a>.</p>
<p>The default permissions corresponds to
<code>--file-perms 0666 --dir-perms 0777</code>, i.e. read and write
permissions to everyone. This means you will not be able to start any
programs from the mount. To be able to do that you must add execute
permissions, e.g. <code>--file-perms 0777 --dir-perms 0777</code> to add
it to everyone. If the program needs to write files, chances are you
will have to enable <a href="#vfs-file-caching">VFS File Caching</a> as
well (see also <a href="#limitations">limitations</a>). Note that the
default write permission have some restrictions for accounts other than
the owner, specifically it lacks the "write extended attributes", as
explained next.</p>
<p>The mapping of permissions is not always trivial, and the result you
see in Windows Explorer may not be exactly like you expected. For
example, when setting a value that includes write access for the group
or others scope, this will be mapped to individual permissions "write
attributes", "write data" and "append data", but not "write extended
attributes". Windows will then show this as basic permission "Special"
instead of "Write", because "Write" also covers the "write extended
attributes" permission. When setting digit 0 for group or others, to
indicate no permissions, they will still get individual permissions
"read attributes", "read extended attributes" and "read permissions".
This is done for compatibility reasons, e.g. to allow users without
additional permissions to be able to read basic metadata about files
like in Unix.</p>
<p>WinFsp 2021 (version 1.9) introduced a new FUSE option
"FileSecurity", that allows the complete specification of file security
descriptors using <a
href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/secauthz/security-descriptor-string-format">SDDL</a>.
With this you get detailed control of the resulting permissions,
compared to use of the POSIX permissions described above, and no
additional permissions will be added automatically for compatibility
with Unix. Some example use cases will following.</p>
<p>If you set POSIX permissions for only allowing access to the owner,
using <code>--file-perms 0600 --dir-perms 0700</code>, the user group
and the built-in "Everyone" group will still be given some special
permissions, as described above. Some programs may then (incorrectly)
interpret this as the file being accessible by everyone, for example an
SSH client may warn about "unprotected private key file". You can work
around this by specifying
<code>-o FileSecurity="D:P(A;;FA;;;OW)"</code>, which sets file all
access (FA) to the owner (OW), and nothing else.</p>
<p>When setting write permissions then, except for the owner, this does
not include the "write extended attributes" permission, as mentioned
above. This may prevent applications from writing to files, giving
permission denied error instead. To set working write permissions for
the built-in "Everyone" group, similar to what it gets by default but
with the addition of the "write extended attributes", you can specify
<code>-o FileSecurity="D:P(A;;FRFW;;;WD)"</code>, which sets file read
(FR) and file write (FW) to everyone (WD). If file execute (FX) is also
needed, then change to
<code>-o FileSecurity="D:P(A;;FRFWFX;;;WD)"</code>, or set file all
access (FA) to get full access permissions, including delete, with
<code>-o FileSecurity="D:P(A;;FA;;;WD)"</code>.</p>
<h3 id="windows-caveats">Windows caveats</h3>
<p>Drives created as Administrator are not visible to other accounts,
not even an account that was elevated to Administrator with the User
Account Control (UAC) feature. A result of this is that if you mount to
a drive letter from a Command Prompt run as Administrator, and then try
to access the same drive from Windows Explorer (which does not run as
Administrator), you will not be able to see the mounted drive.</p>
<p>If you don't need to access the drive from applications running with
administrative privileges, the easiest way around this is to always
create the mount from a non-elevated command prompt.</p>
<p>To make mapped drives available to the user account that created them
regardless if elevated or not, there is a special Windows setting called
<a
href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/networking/mapped-drives-not-available-from-elevated-command#detail-to-configure-the-enablelinkedconnections-registry-entry">linked
connections</a> that can be enabled.</p>
<p>It is also possible to make a drive mount available to everyone on
the system, by running the process creating it as the built-in SYSTEM
account. There are several ways to do this: One is to use the
command-line utility <a
href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/psexec">PsExec</a>,
from Microsoft's Sysinternals suite, which has option <code>-s</code> to
start processes as the SYSTEM account. Another alternative is to run the
mount command from a Windows Scheduled Task, or a Windows Service,
configured to run as the SYSTEM account. A third alternative is to use
the <a
href="https://github.com/winfsp/winfsp/wiki/WinFsp-Service-Architecture">WinFsp.Launcher
infrastructure</a>). Read more in the <a
href="https://rclone.org/install/">install documentation</a>. Note that
when running rclone as another user, it will not use the configuration
file from your profile unless you tell it to with the <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#config-config-file"><code>--config</code></a>
option. Note also that it is now the SYSTEM account that will have the
owner permissions, and other accounts will have permissions according to
the group or others scopes. As mentioned above, these will then not get
the "write extended attributes" permission, and this may prevent writing
to files. You can work around this with the FileSecurity option, see
example above.</p>
<p>Note that mapping to a directory path, instead of a drive letter,
does not suffer from the same limitations.</p>
<h2 id="mounting-on-macos">Mounting on macOS</h2>
<p>Mounting on macOS can be done either via <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_serve_nfs/">built-in NFS
server</a>, <a href="https://osxfuse.github.io/">macFUSE</a> (also known
as osxfuse) or <a href="https://www.fuse-t.org/">FUSE-T</a>. macFUSE is
a traditional FUSE driver utilizing a macOS kernel extension (kext).
FUSE-T is an alternative FUSE system which "mounts" via an NFSv4 local
server.</p>
<h4 id="unicode-normalization">Unicode Normalization</h4>
<p>It is highly recommended to keep the default of
<code>--no-unicode-normalization=false</code> for all <code>mount</code>
and <code>serve</code> commands on macOS. For details, see <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_mount/#vfs-case-sensitivity">vfs-case-sensitivity</a>.</p>
<h3 id="nfs-mount">NFS mount</h3>
<p>This method spins up an NFS server using <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_serve_nfs/">serve nfs</a>
command and mounts it to the specified mountpoint. If you run this in
background mode using |--daemon|, you will need to send SIGTERM signal
to the rclone process using |kill| command to stop the mount.</p>
<p>Note that <code>--nfs-cache-handle-limit</code> controls the maximum
number of cached file handles stored by the <code>nfsmount</code>
caching handler. This should not be set too low or you may experience
errors when trying to access files. The default is 1000000, but consider
lowering this limit if the server's system resource usage causes
problems.</p>
<h3 id="macfuse-notes">macFUSE Notes</h3>
<p>If installing macFUSE using <a
href="https://github.com/osxfuse/osxfuse/releases">dmg packages</a> from
the website, rclone will locate the macFUSE libraries without any
further intervention. If however, macFUSE is installed using the <a
href="https://www.macports.org/">macports</a> package manager, the
following addition steps are required.</p>
<pre><code>sudo mkdir /usr/local/lib
cd /usr/local/lib
sudo ln -s /opt/local/lib/libfuse.2.dylib</code></pre>
<h3 id="fuse-t-limitations-caveats-and-notes">FUSE-T Limitations,
Caveats, and Notes</h3>
<p>There are some limitations, caveats, and notes about how it works.
These are current as of FUSE-T version 1.0.14.</p>
<h4 id="modtime-update-on-read">ModTime update on read</h4>
<p>As per the <a
href="https://github.com/macos-fuse-t/fuse-t/wiki#caveats">FUSE-T
wiki</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>File access and modification times cannot be set separately as it
seems to be an issue with the NFS client which always modifies both. Can
be reproduced with 'touch -m' and 'touch -a' commands</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This means that viewing files with various tools, notably macOS
Finder, will cause rlcone to update the modification time of the file.
This may make rclone upload a full new copy of the file.</p>
<h4 id="read-only-mounts">Read Only mounts</h4>
<p>When mounting with <code>--read-only</code>, attempts to write to
files will fail <em>silently</em> as opposed to with a clear warning as
in macFUSE.</p>
<h2 id="limitations">Limitations</h2>
<p>Without the use of <code>--vfs-cache-mode</code> this can only write
files sequentially, it can only seek when reading. This means that many
applications won't work with their files on an rclone mount without
<code>--vfs-cache-mode writes</code> or
<code>--vfs-cache-mode full</code>. See the <a
href="#vfs-file-caching">VFS File Caching</a> section for more info.
When using NFS mount on macOS, if you don't specify |--vfs-cache-mode|
the mount point will be read-only.</p>
<p>The bucket-based remotes (e.g. Swift, S3, Google Compute Storage, B2)
do not support the concept of empty directories, so empty directories
will have a tendency to disappear once they fall out of the directory
cache.</p>
<p>When <code>rclone mount</code> is invoked on Unix with
<code>--daemon</code> flag, the main rclone program will wait for the
background mount to become ready or until the timeout specified by the
<code>--daemon-wait</code> flag. On Linux it can check mount status
using ProcFS so the flag in fact sets <strong>maximum</strong> time to
wait, while the real wait can be less. On macOS / BSD the time to wait
is constant and the check is performed only at the end. We advise you to
set wait time on macOS reasonably.</p>
<p>Only supported on Linux, FreeBSD, OS X and Windows at the moment.</p>
<h2 id="rclone-mount-vs-rclone-synccopy">rclone mount vs rclone
sync/copy</h2>
<p>File systems expect things to be 100% reliable, whereas cloud storage
systems are a long way from 100% reliable. The rclone sync/copy commands
cope with this with lots of retries. However rclone mount can't use
retries in the same way without making local copies of the uploads. Look
at the <a href="#vfs-file-caching">VFS File Caching</a> for solutions to
make mount more reliable.</p>
<h2 id="attribute-caching">Attribute caching</h2>
<p>You can use the flag <code>--attr-timeout</code> to set the time the
kernel caches the attributes (size, modification time, etc.) for
directory entries.</p>
<p>The default is <code>1s</code> which caches files just long enough to
avoid too many callbacks to rclone from the kernel.</p>
<p>In theory 0s should be the correct value for filesystems which can
change outside the control of the kernel. However this causes quite a
few problems such as <a
href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/2157">rclone using too
much memory</a>, <a
href="https://forum.rclone.org/t/rclone-1-39-vs-1-40-mount-issue/5112">rclone
not serving files to samba</a> and <a
href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/2095#issuecomment-371141147">excessive
time listing directories</a>.</p>
<p>The kernel can cache the info about a file for the time given by
<code>--attr-timeout</code>. You may see corruption if the remote file
changes length during this window. It will show up as either a truncated
file or a file with garbage on the end. With
<code>--attr-timeout 1s</code> this is very unlikely but not impossible.
The higher you set <code>--attr-timeout</code> the more likely it is.
The default setting of "1s" is the lowest setting which mitigates the
problems above.</p>
<p>If you set it higher (<code>10s</code> or <code>1m</code> say) then
the kernel will call back to rclone less often making it more efficient,
however there is more chance of the corruption issue above.</p>
<p>If files don't change on the remote outside of the control of rclone
then there is no chance of corruption.</p>
<p>This is the same as setting the attr_timeout option in
mount.fuse.</p>
<h2 id="filters">Filters</h2>
<p>Note that all the rclone filters can be used to select a subset of
the files to be visible in the mount.</p>
<h2 id="systemd">systemd</h2>
<p>When running rclone mount as a systemd service, it is possible to use
Type=notify. In this case the service will enter the started state after
the mountpoint has been successfully set up. Units having the rclone
mount service specified as a requirement will see all files and folders
immediately in this mode.</p>
<p>Note that systemd runs mount units without any environment variables
including <code>PATH</code> or <code>HOME</code>. This means that tilde
(<code>~</code>) expansion will not work and you should provide
<code>--config</code> and <code>--cache-dir</code> explicitly as
absolute paths via rclone arguments. Since mounting requires the
<code>fusermount</code> or <code>fusermount3</code> program, rclone will
use the fallback PATH of <code>/bin:/usr/bin</code> in this scenario.
Please ensure that <code>fusermount</code>/<code>fusermount3</code> is
present on this PATH.</p>
<h2 id="rclone-as-unix-mount-helper">Rclone as Unix mount helper</h2>
<p>The core Unix program <code>/bin/mount</code> normally takes the
<code>-t FSTYPE</code> argument then runs the
<code>/sbin/mount.FSTYPE</code> helper program passing it mount options
as <code>-o key=val,...</code> or <code>--opt=...</code>. Automount
(classic or systemd) behaves in a similar way.</p>
<p>rclone by default expects GNU-style flags <code>--key val</code>. To
run it as a mount helper you should symlink rclone binary to
<code>/sbin/mount.rclone</code> and optionally
<code>/usr/bin/rclonefs</code>, e.g.
<code>ln -s /usr/bin/rclone /sbin/mount.rclone</code>. rclone will
detect it and translate command-line arguments appropriately.</p>
<p>Now you can run classic mounts like this:</p>
<pre><code>mount sftp1:subdir /mnt/data -t rclone -o vfs_cache_mode=writes,sftp_key_file=/path/to/pem</code></pre>
<p>or create systemd mount units:</p>
<pre><code># /etc/systemd/system/mnt-data.mount
[Unit]
Description=Mount for /mnt/data
[Mount]
Type=rclone
What=sftp1:subdir
Where=/mnt/data
Options=rw,_netdev,allow_other,args2env,vfs-cache-mode=writes,config=/etc/rclone.conf,cache-dir=/var/rclone</code></pre>
<p>optionally accompanied by systemd automount unit</p>
<pre><code># /etc/systemd/system/mnt-data.automount
[Unit]
Description=AutoMount for /mnt/data
[Automount]
Where=/mnt/data
TimeoutIdleSec=600
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target</code></pre>
<p>or add in <code>/etc/fstab</code> a line like</p>
<pre><code>sftp1:subdir /mnt/data rclone rw,noauto,nofail,_netdev,x-systemd.automount,args2env,vfs_cache_mode=writes,config=/etc/rclone.conf,cache_dir=/var/cache/rclone 0 0</code></pre>
<p>or use classic Automountd. Remember to provide explicit
<code>config=...,cache-dir=...</code> as a workaround for mount units
being run without <code>HOME</code>.</p>
<p>Rclone in the mount helper mode will split <code>-o</code>
argument(s) by comma, replace <code>_</code> by <code>-</code> and
prepend <code>--</code> to get the command-line flags. Options
containing commas or spaces can be wrapped in single or double quotes.
Any inner quotes inside outer quotes of the same type should be
doubled.</p>
<p>Mount option syntax includes a few extra options treated
specially:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>env.NAME=VALUE</code> will set an environment variable for the
mount process. This helps with Automountd and Systemd.mount which don't
allow setting custom environment for mount helpers. Typically you will
use <code>env.HTTPS_PROXY=proxy.host:3128</code> or
<code>env.HOME=/root</code></li>
<li><code>command=cmount</code> can be used to run <code>cmount</code>
or any other rclone command rather than the default
<code>mount</code>.</li>
<li><code>args2env</code> will pass mount options to the mount helper
running in background via environment variables instead of command line
arguments. This allows to hide secrets from such commands as
<code>ps</code> or <code>pgrep</code>.</li>
<li><code>vv...</code> will be transformed into appropriate
<code>--verbose=N</code></li>
<li>standard mount options like <code>x-systemd.automount</code>,
<code>_netdev</code>, <code>nosuid</code> and alike are intended only
for Automountd and ignored by rclone.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="vfs---virtual-file-system">VFS - Virtual File System</h2>
<p>This command uses the VFS layer. This adapts the cloud storage
objects that rclone uses into something which looks much more like a
disk filing system.</p>
<p>Cloud storage objects have lots of properties which aren't like disk
files - you can't extend them or write to the middle of them, so the VFS
layer has to deal with that. Because there is no one right way of doing
this there are various options explained below.</p>
<p>The VFS layer also implements a directory cache - this caches info
about files and directories (but not the data) in memory.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-directory-cache">VFS Directory Cache</h2>
<p>Using the <code>--dir-cache-time</code> flag, you can control how
long a directory should be considered up to date and not refreshed from
the backend. Changes made through the VFS will appear immediately or
invalidate the cache.</p>
<pre><code>--dir-cache-time duration Time to cache directory entries for (default 5m0s)
--poll-interval duration Time to wait between polling for changes. Must be smaller than dir-cache-time. Only on supported remotes. Set to 0 to disable (default 1m0s)</code></pre>
<p>However, changes made directly on the cloud storage by the web
interface or a different copy of rclone will only be picked up once the
directory cache expires if the backend configured does not support
polling for changes. If the backend supports polling, changes will be
picked up within the polling interval.</p>
<p>You can send a <code>SIGHUP</code> signal to rclone for it to flush
all directory caches, regardless of how old they are. Assuming only one
rclone instance is running, you can reset the cache like this:</p>
<pre><code>kill -SIGHUP $(pidof rclone)</code></pre>
<p>If you configure rclone with a <a href="/rc">remote control</a> then
you can use rclone rc to flush the whole directory cache:</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/forget</code></pre>
<p>Or individual files or directories:</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/forget file=path/to/file dir=path/to/dir</code></pre>
<h2 id="vfs-file-buffering">VFS File Buffering</h2>
<p>The <code>--buffer-size</code> flag determines the amount of memory,
that will be used to buffer data in advance.</p>
<p>Each open file will try to keep the specified amount of data in
memory at all times. The buffered data is bound to one open file and
won't be shared.</p>
<p>This flag is a upper limit for the used memory per open file. The
buffer will only use memory for data that is downloaded but not not yet
read. If the buffer is empty, only a small amount of memory will be
used.</p>
<p>The maximum memory used by rclone for buffering can be up to
<code>--buffer-size * open files</code>.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-file-caching">VFS File Caching</h2>
<p>These flags control the VFS file caching options. File caching is
necessary to make the VFS layer appear compatible with a normal file
system. It can be disabled at the cost of some compatibility.</p>
<p>For example you'll need to enable VFS caching if you want to read and
write simultaneously to a file. See below for more details.</p>
<p>Note that the VFS cache is separate from the cache backend and you
may find that you need one or the other or both.</p>
<pre><code>--cache-dir string Directory rclone will use for caching.
--vfs-cache-mode CacheMode Cache mode off|minimal|writes|full (default off)
--vfs-cache-max-age duration Max time since last access of objects in the cache (default 1h0m0s)
--vfs-cache-max-size SizeSuffix Max total size of objects in the cache (default off)
--vfs-cache-min-free-space SizeSuffix Target minimum free space on the disk containing the cache (default off)
--vfs-cache-poll-interval duration Interval to poll the cache for stale objects (default 1m0s)
--vfs-write-back duration Time to writeback files after last use when using cache (default 5s)</code></pre>
<p>If run with <code>-vv</code> rclone will print the location of the
file cache. The files are stored in the user cache file area which is OS
dependent but can be controlled with <code>--cache-dir</code> or setting
the appropriate environment variable.</p>
<p>The cache has 4 different modes selected by
<code>--vfs-cache-mode</code>. The higher the cache mode the more
compatible rclone becomes at the cost of using disk space.</p>
<p>Note that files are written back to the remote only when they are
closed and if they haven't been accessed for
<code>--vfs-write-back</code> seconds. If rclone is quit or dies with
files that haven't been uploaded, these will be uploaded next time
rclone is run with the same flags.</p>
<p>If using <code>--vfs-cache-max-size</code> or
<code>--vfs-cache-min-free-size</code> note that the cache may exceed
these quotas for two reasons. Firstly because it is only checked every
<code>--vfs-cache-poll-interval</code>. Secondly because open files
cannot be evicted from the cache. When <code>--vfs-cache-max-size</code>
or <code>--vfs-cache-min-free-size</code> is exceeded, rclone will
attempt to evict the least accessed files from the cache first. rclone
will start with files that haven't been accessed for the longest. This
cache flushing strategy is efficient and more relevant files are likely
to remain cached.</p>
<p>The <code>--vfs-cache-max-age</code> will evict files from the cache
after the set time since last access has passed. The default value of 1
hour will start evicting files from cache that haven't been accessed for
1 hour. When a cached file is accessed the 1 hour timer is reset to 0
and will wait for 1 more hour before evicting. Specify the time with
standard notation, s, m, h, d, w .</p>
<p>You <strong>should not</strong> run two copies of rclone using the
same VFS cache with the same or overlapping remotes if using
<code>--vfs-cache-mode &gt; off</code>. This can potentially cause data
corruption if you do. You can work around this by giving each rclone its
own cache hierarchy with <code>--cache-dir</code>. You don't need to
worry about this if the remotes in use don't overlap.</p>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-off">--vfs-cache-mode off</h3>
<p>In this mode (the default) the cache will read directly from the
remote and write directly to the remote without caching anything on
disk.</p>
<p>This will mean some operations are not possible</p>
<ul>
<li>Files can't be opened for both read AND write</li>
<li>Files opened for write can't be seeked</li>
<li>Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set</li>
<li>Files open for read with O_TRUNC will be opened write only</li>
<li>Files open for write only will behave as if O_TRUNC was
supplied</li>
<li>Open modes O_APPEND, O_TRUNC are ignored</li>
<li>If an upload fails it can't be retried</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-minimal">--vfs-cache-mode minimal</h3>
<p>This is very similar to "off" except that files opened for read AND
write will be buffered to disk. This means that files opened for write
will be a lot more compatible, but uses the minimal disk space.</p>
<p>These operations are not possible</p>
<ul>
<li>Files opened for write only can't be seeked</li>
<li>Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set</li>
<li>Files opened for write only will ignore O_APPEND, O_TRUNC</li>
<li>If an upload fails it can't be retried</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-writes">--vfs-cache-mode writes</h3>
<p>In this mode files opened for read only are still read directly from
the remote, write only and read/write files are buffered to disk
first.</p>
<p>This mode should support all normal file system operations.</p>
<p>If an upload fails it will be retried at exponentially increasing
intervals up to 1 minute.</p>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-full">--vfs-cache-mode full</h3>
<p>In this mode all reads and writes are buffered to and from disk. When
data is read from the remote this is buffered to disk as well.</p>
<p>In this mode the files in the cache will be sparse files and rclone
will keep track of which bits of the files it has downloaded.</p>
<p>So if an application only reads the starts of each file, then rclone
will only buffer the start of the file. These files will appear to be
their full size in the cache, but they will be sparse files with only
the data that has been downloaded present in them.</p>
<p>This mode should support all normal file system operations and is
otherwise identical to <code>--vfs-cache-mode</code> writes.</p>
<p>When reading a file rclone will read <code>--buffer-size</code> plus
<code>--vfs-read-ahead</code> bytes ahead. The
<code>--buffer-size</code> is buffered in memory whereas the
<code>--vfs-read-ahead</code> is buffered on disk.</p>
<p>When using this mode it is recommended that
<code>--buffer-size</code> is not set too large and
<code>--vfs-read-ahead</code> is set large if required.</p>
<p><strong>IMPORTANT</strong> not all file systems support sparse files.
In particular FAT/exFAT do not. Rclone will perform very badly if the
cache directory is on a filesystem which doesn't support sparse files
and it will log an ERROR message if one is detected.</p>
<h3 id="fingerprinting">Fingerprinting</h3>
<p>Various parts of the VFS use fingerprinting to see if a local file
copy has changed relative to a remote file. Fingerprints are made
from:</p>
<ul>
<li>size</li>
<li>modification time</li>
<li>hash</li>
</ul>
<p>where available on an object.</p>
<p>On some backends some of these attributes are slow to read (they take
an extra API call per object, or extra work per object).</p>
<p>For example <code>hash</code> is slow with the <code>local</code> and
<code>sftp</code> backends as they have to read the entire file and hash
it, and <code>modtime</code> is slow with the <code>s3</code>,
<code>swift</code>, <code>ftp</code> and <code>qinqstor</code> backends
because they need to do an extra API call to fetch it.</p>
<p>If you use the <code>--vfs-fast-fingerprint</code> flag then rclone
will not include the slow operations in the fingerprint. This makes the
fingerprinting less accurate but much faster and will improve the
opening time of cached files.</p>
<p>If you are running a vfs cache over <code>local</code>,
<code>s3</code> or <code>swift</code> backends then using this flag is
recommended.</p>
<p>Note that if you change the value of this flag, the fingerprints of
the files in the cache may be invalidated and the files will need to be
downloaded again.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-chunked-reading">VFS Chunked Reading</h2>
<p>When rclone reads files from a remote it reads them in chunks. This
means that rather than requesting the whole file rclone reads the chunk
specified. This can reduce the used download quota for some remotes by
requesting only chunks from the remote that are actually read, at the
cost of an increased number of requests.</p>
<p>These flags control the chunking:</p>
<pre><code>--vfs-read-chunk-size SizeSuffix Read the source objects in chunks (default 128M)
--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit SizeSuffix Max chunk doubling size (default off)
--vfs-read-chunk-streams int The number of parallel streams to read at once</code></pre>
<p>The chunking behaves differently depending on the
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> parameter.</p>
<h3 id="vfs-read-chunk-streams-0"><code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code>
== 0</h3>
<p>Rclone will start reading a chunk of size
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code>, and then double the size for each
read. When <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit</code> is specified, and
greater than <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code>, the chunk size for each
open file will get doubled only until the specified value is reached. If
the value is "off", which is the default, the limit is disabled and the
chunk size will grow indefinitely.</p>
<p>With <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size 100M</code> and
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 0</code> the following parts will be
downloaded: 0-100M, 100M-200M, 200M-300M, 300M-400M and so on. When
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 500M</code> is specified, the result
would be 0-100M, 100M-300M, 300M-700M, 700M-1200M, 1200M-1700M and so
on.</p>
<p>Setting <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code> to <code>0</code> or "off"
disables chunked reading.</p>
<p>The chunks will not be buffered in memory.</p>
<h3
id="vfs-read-chunk-streams-0-1"><code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code>
&gt; 0</h3>
<p>Rclone reads <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> chunks of size
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code> concurrently. The size for each read
will stay constant.</p>
<p>This improves performance performance massively on high latency links
or very high bandwidth links to high performance object stores.</p>
<p>Some experimentation will be needed to find the optimum values of
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code> and
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> as these will depend on the
backend in use and the latency to the backend.</p>
<p>For high performance object stores (eg AWS S3) a reasonable place to
start might be <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams 16</code> and
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size 4M</code>. In testing with AWS S3 the
performance scaled roughly as the <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code>
setting.</p>
<p>Similar settings should work for high latency links, but depending on
the latency they may need more <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> in
order to get the throughput.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-performance">VFS Performance</h2>
<p>These flags may be used to enable/disable features of the VFS for
performance or other reasons. See also the <a
href="#vfs-chunked-reading">chunked reading</a> feature.</p>
<p>In particular S3 and Swift benefit hugely from the
<code>--no-modtime</code> flag (or use <code>--use-server-modtime</code>
for a slightly different effect) as each read of the modification time
takes a transaction.</p>
<pre><code>--no-checksum Don&#39;t compare checksums on up/download.
--no-modtime Don&#39;t read/write the modification time (can speed things up).
--no-seek Don&#39;t allow seeking in files.
--read-only Only allow read-only access.</code></pre>
<p>Sometimes rclone is delivered reads or writes out of order. Rather
than seeking rclone will wait a short time for the in sequence read or
write to come in. These flags only come into effect when not using an on
disk cache file.</p>
<pre><code>--vfs-read-wait duration Time to wait for in-sequence read before seeking (default 20ms)
--vfs-write-wait duration Time to wait for in-sequence write before giving error (default 1s)</code></pre>
<p>When using VFS write caching (<code>--vfs-cache-mode</code> with
value writes or full), the global flag <code>--transfers</code> can be
set to adjust the number of parallel uploads of modified files from the
cache (the related global flag <code>--checkers</code> has no effect on
the VFS).</p>
<pre><code>--transfers int Number of file transfers to run in parallel (default 4)</code></pre>
<h2 id="vfs-case-sensitivity">VFS Case Sensitivity</h2>
<p>Linux file systems are case-sensitive: two files can differ only by
case, and the exact case must be used when opening a file.</p>
<p>File systems in modern Windows are case-insensitive but
case-preserving: although existing files can be opened using any case,
the exact case used to create the file is preserved and available for
programs to query. It is not allowed for two files in the same directory
to differ only by case.</p>
<p>Usually file systems on macOS are case-insensitive. It is possible to
make macOS file systems case-sensitive but that is not the default.</p>
<p>The <code>--vfs-case-insensitive</code> VFS flag controls how rclone
handles these two cases. If its value is "false", rclone passes file
names to the remote as-is. If the flag is "true" (or appears without a
value on the command line), rclone may perform a "fixup" as explained
below.</p>
<p>The user may specify a file name to open/delete/rename/etc with a
case different than what is stored on the remote. If an argument refers
to an existing file with exactly the same name, then the case of the
existing file on the disk will be used. However, if a file name with
exactly the same name is not found but a name differing only by case
exists, rclone will transparently fixup the name. This fixup happens
only when an existing file is requested. Case sensitivity of file names
created anew by rclone is controlled by the underlying remote.</p>
<p>Note that case sensitivity of the operating system running rclone
(the target) may differ from case sensitivity of a file system presented
by rclone (the source). The flag controls whether "fixup" is performed
to satisfy the target.</p>
<p>If the flag is not provided on the command line, then its default
value depends on the operating system where rclone runs: "true" on
Windows and macOS, "false" otherwise. If the flag is provided without a
value, then it is "true".</p>
<p>The <code>--no-unicode-normalization</code> flag controls whether a
similar "fixup" is performed for filenames that differ but are <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_equivalence">canonically
equivalent</a> with respect to unicode. Unicode normalization can be
particularly helpful for users of macOS, which prefers form NFD instead
of the NFC used by most other platforms. It is therefore highly
recommended to keep the default of <code>false</code> on macOS, to avoid
encoding compatibility issues.</p>
<p>In the (probably unlikely) event that a directory has multiple
duplicate filenames after applying case and unicode normalization, the
<code>--vfs-block-norm-dupes</code> flag allows hiding these duplicates.
This comes with a performance tradeoff, as rclone will have to scan the
entire directory for duplicates when listing a directory. For this
reason, it is recommended to leave this disabled if not needed. However,
macOS users may wish to consider using it, as otherwise, if a remote
directory contains both NFC and NFD versions of the same filename, an
odd situation will occur: both versions of the file will be visible in
the mount, and both will appear to be editable, however, editing either
version will actually result in only the NFD version getting edited
under the hood. <code>--vfs-block- norm-dupes</code> prevents this
confusion by detecting this scenario, hiding the duplicates, and logging
an error, similar to how this is handled in
<code>rclone sync</code>.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-disk-options">VFS Disk Options</h2>
<p>This flag allows you to manually set the statistics about the filing
system. It can be useful when those statistics cannot be read correctly
automatically.</p>
<pre><code>--vfs-disk-space-total-size Manually set the total disk space size (example: 256G, default: -1)</code></pre>
<h2 id="alternate-report-of-used-bytes">Alternate report of used
bytes</h2>
<p>Some backends, most notably S3, do not report the amount of bytes
used. If you need this information to be available when running
<code>df</code> on the filesystem, then pass the flag
<code>--vfs-used-is-size</code> to rclone. With this flag set, instead
of relying on the backend to report this information, rclone will scan
the whole remote similar to <code>rclone size</code> and compute the
total used space itself.</p>
<p><em>WARNING.</em> Contrary to <code>rclone size</code>, this flag
ignores filters so that the result is accurate. However, this is very
inefficient and may cost lots of API calls resulting in extra charges.
Use it as a last resort and only with caching.</p>

<h1 id="rclone-moveto">rclone moveto</h1>
<p>Move file or directory from source to dest.</p>
<h2 id="synopsis-53">Synopsis</h2>
<p>If source:path is a file or directory then it moves it to a file or
directory named dest:path.</p>
<p>This can be used to rename files or upload single files to other than
their existing name. If the source is a directory then it acts exactly
like the <a href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_move/">move</a>
command.</p>
<p>So</p>
<pre><code>rclone moveto src dst</code></pre>
<p>where src and dst are rclone paths, either remote:path or
/path/to/local or C:.</p>
<p>This will:</p>
<pre><code>if src is file
move it to dst, overwriting an existing file if it exists
if src is directory
move it to dst, overwriting existing files if they exist
see move command for full details</code></pre>
<p>This doesn't transfer files that are identical on src and dst,
testing by size and modification time or MD5SUM. src will be deleted on
successful transfer.</p>
<p><strong>Important</strong>: Since this can cause data loss, test
first with the <code>--dry-run</code> or the
<code>--interactive</code>/<code>-i</code> flag.</p>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: Use the
<code>-P</code>/<code>--progress</code> flag to view real-time transfer
statistics.</p>

<p>This displays a text based user interface allowing the navigation of
a remote. It is most useful for answering the question - "What is using
all my disk space?".</p>
<p>To make the user interface it first scans the entire remote given and
builds an in memory representation. rclone ncdu can be used during this
scanning phase and you will see it building up the directory structure
as it goes along.</p>
<p>You can interact with the user interface using key presses, press '?'

<p>Listed files/directories may be prefixed by a one-character flag,
some of them combined with a description in brackets at end of line.
These flags have the following meaning:</p>
<pre><code>e means this is an empty directory, i.e. contains no files (but
may contain empty subdirectories)
~ means this is a directory where some of the files (possibly in
subdirectories) have unknown size, and therefore the directory
size may be underestimated (and average size inaccurate, as it
is average of the files with known sizes).
. means an error occurred while reading a subdirectory, and
therefore the directory size may be underestimated (and average
size inaccurate)
! means an error occurred while reading this directory</code></pre>
<p>This an homage to the <a href="https://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdu">ncdu

<h1 id="rclone-nfsmount">rclone nfsmount</h1>
<p>Mount the remote as file system on a mountpoint.</p>
<h2 id="synopsis-55">Synopsis</h2>
<p>Rclone nfsmount allows Linux, FreeBSD, macOS and Windows to mount any
of Rclone's cloud storage systems as a file system with FUSE.</p>
<p>First set up your remote using <code>rclone config</code>. Check it
works with <code>rclone ls</code> etc.</p>
<p>On Linux and macOS, you can run mount in either foreground or
background (aka daemon) mode. Mount runs in foreground mode by default.
Use the <code>--daemon</code> flag to force background mode. On Windows
you can run mount in foreground only, the flag is ignored.</p>
<p>In background mode rclone acts as a generic Unix mount program: the
main program starts, spawns background rclone process to setup and
maintain the mount, waits until success or timeout and exits with
appropriate code (killing the child process if it fails).</p>
<p>On Linux/macOS/FreeBSD start the mount like this, where
<code>/path/to/local/mount</code> is an <strong>empty</strong>
<strong>existing</strong> directory:</p>
<pre><code>rclone nfsmount remote:path/to/files /path/to/local/mount</code></pre>
<p>On Windows you can start a mount in different ways. See <a
href="#mounting-modes-on-windows">below</a> for details. If foreground
mount is used interactively from a console window, rclone will serve the
mount and occupy the console so another window should be used to work
with the mount until rclone is interrupted e.g. by pressing Ctrl-C.</p>
<p>The following examples will mount to an automatically assigned drive,
to specific drive letter <code>X:</code>, to path
<code>C:\path\parent\mount</code> (where parent directory or drive must
exist, and mount must <strong>not</strong> exist, and is not supported
when <a href="#mounting-modes-on-windows">mounting as a network
drive</a>), and the last example will mount as network share
<code>\\cloud\remote</code> and map it to an automatically assigned
drive:</p>
<pre><code>rclone nfsmount remote:path/to/files *
rclone nfsmount remote:path/to/files X:
rclone nfsmount remote:path/to/files C:\path\parent\mount
rclone nfsmount remote:path/to/files \\cloud\remote</code></pre>
<p>When the program ends while in foreground mode, either via Ctrl+C or
receiving a SIGINT or SIGTERM signal, the mount should be automatically
stopped.</p>
<p>When running in background mode the user will have to stop the mount
manually:</p>
<pre><code># Linux
fusermount -u /path/to/local/mount
#... or on some systems
fusermount3 -u /path/to/local/mount
# OS X or Linux when using nfsmount
umount /path/to/local/mount</code></pre>
<p>The umount operation can fail, for example when the mountpoint is
busy. When that happens, it is the user's responsibility to stop the
mount manually.</p>
<p>The size of the mounted file system will be set according to
information retrieved from the remote, the same as returned by the <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_about/">rclone about</a>
command. Remotes with unlimited storage may report the used size only,
then an additional 1 PiB of free space is assumed. If the remote does
not <a href="https://rclone.org/overview/#optional-features">support</a>
the about feature at all, then 1 PiB is set as both the total and the
free size.</p>
<h2 id="installing-on-windows-1">Installing on Windows</h2>
<p>To run rclone nfsmount on Windows, you will need to download and
install <a href="http://www.secfs.net/winfsp/">WinFsp</a>.</p>
<p><a href="https://github.com/winfsp/winfsp">WinFsp</a> is an
open-source Windows File System Proxy which makes it easy to write user
space file systems for Windows. It provides a FUSE emulation layer which
rclone uses combination with <a
href="https://github.com/winfsp/cgofuse">cgofuse</a>. Both of these
packages are by Bill Zissimopoulos who was very helpful during the
implementation of rclone nfsmount for Windows.</p>
<h3 id="mounting-modes-on-windows-1">Mounting modes on windows</h3>
<p>Unlike other operating systems, Microsoft Windows provides a
different filesystem type for network and fixed drives. It optimises
access on the assumption fixed disk drives are fast and reliable, while
network drives have relatively high latency and less reliability. Some
settings can also be differentiated between the two types, for example
that Windows Explorer should just display icons and not create preview
thumbnails for image and video files on network drives.</p>
<p>In most cases, rclone will mount the remote as a normal, fixed disk
drive by default. However, you can also choose to mount it as a remote
network drive, often described as a network share. If you mount an
rclone remote using the default, fixed drive mode and experience
unexpected program errors, freezes or other issues, consider mounting as
a network drive instead.</p>
<p>When mounting as a fixed disk drive you can either mount to an unused
drive letter, or to a path representing a <strong>nonexistent</strong>
subdirectory of an <strong>existing</strong> parent directory or drive.
Using the special value <code>*</code> will tell rclone to automatically
assign the next available drive letter, starting with Z: and moving
backward. Examples:</p>
<pre><code>rclone nfsmount remote:path/to/files *
rclone nfsmount remote:path/to/files X:
rclone nfsmount remote:path/to/files C:\path\parent\mount
rclone nfsmount remote:path/to/files X:</code></pre>
<p>Option <code>--volname</code> can be used to set a custom volume name
for the mounted file system. The default is to use the remote name and
path.</p>
<p>To mount as network drive, you can add option
<code>--network-mode</code> to your nfsmount command. Mounting to a
directory path is not supported in this mode, it is a limitation Windows
imposes on junctions, so the remote must always be mounted to a drive
letter.</p>
<pre><code>rclone nfsmount remote:path/to/files X: --network-mode</code></pre>
<p>A volume name specified with <code>--volname</code> will be used to
create the network share path. A complete UNC path, such as
<code>\\cloud\remote</code>, optionally with path
<code>\\cloud\remote\madeup\path</code>, will be used as is. Any other
string will be used as the share part, after a default prefix
<code>\\server\</code>. If no volume name is specified then
<code>\\server\share</code> will be used. You must make sure the volume
name is unique when you are mounting more than one drive, or else the
mount command will fail. The share name will treated as the volume label
for the mapped drive, shown in Windows Explorer etc, while the complete
<code>\\server\share</code> will be reported as the remote UNC path by
<code>net use</code> etc, just like a normal network drive mapping.</p>
<p>If you specify a full network share UNC path with
<code>--volname</code>, this will implicitly set the
<code>--network-mode</code> option, so the following two examples have
same result:</p>
<pre><code>rclone nfsmount remote:path/to/files X: --network-mode
rclone nfsmount remote:path/to/files X: --volname \\server\share</code></pre>
<p>You may also specify the network share UNC path as the mountpoint
itself. Then rclone will automatically assign a drive letter, same as
with <code>*</code> and use that as mountpoint, and instead use the UNC
path specified as the volume name, as if it were specified with the
<code>--volname</code> option. This will also implicitly set the
<code>--network-mode</code> option. This means the following two
examples have same result:</p>
<pre><code>rclone nfsmount remote:path/to/files \\cloud\remote
rclone nfsmount remote:path/to/files * --volname \\cloud\remote</code></pre>
<p>There is yet another way to enable network mode, and to set the share
path, and that is to pass the "native" libfuse/WinFsp option directly:
<code>--fuse-flag --VolumePrefix=\server\share</code>. Note that the
path must be with just a single backslash prefix in this case.</p>
<p><em>Note:</em> In previous versions of rclone this was the only
supported method.</p>

<h3 id="windows-filesystem-permissions-1">Windows filesystem
permissions</h3>
<p>The FUSE emulation layer on Windows must convert between the
POSIX-based permission model used in FUSE, and the permission model used
in Windows, based on access-control lists (ACL).</p>
<p>The mounted filesystem will normally get three entries in its
access-control list (ACL), representing permissions for the POSIX
permission scopes: Owner, group and others. By default, the owner and
group will be taken from the current user, and the built-in group
"Everyone" will be used to represent others. The user/group can be
customized with FUSE options "UserName" and "GroupName", e.g.
<code>-o UserName=user123 -o GroupName="Authenticated Users"</code>. The
permissions on each entry will be set according to <a
href="#options">options</a> <code>--dir-perms</code> and
<code>--file-perms</code>, which takes a value in traditional Unix <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File-system_permissions#Numeric_notation">numeric
notation</a>.</p>
<p>The default permissions corresponds to
<code>--file-perms 0666 --dir-perms 0777</code>, i.e. read and write
permissions to everyone. This means you will not be able to start any
programs from the mount. To be able to do that you must add execute
permissions, e.g. <code>--file-perms 0777 --dir-perms 0777</code> to add
it to everyone. If the program needs to write files, chances are you
will have to enable <a href="#vfs-file-caching">VFS File Caching</a> as
well (see also <a href="#limitations">limitations</a>). Note that the
default write permission have some restrictions for accounts other than
the owner, specifically it lacks the "write extended attributes", as
explained next.</p>
<p>The mapping of permissions is not always trivial, and the result you
see in Windows Explorer may not be exactly like you expected. For
example, when setting a value that includes write access for the group
or others scope, this will be mapped to individual permissions "write
attributes", "write data" and "append data", but not "write extended
attributes". Windows will then show this as basic permission "Special"
instead of "Write", because "Write" also covers the "write extended
attributes" permission. When setting digit 0 for group or others, to
indicate no permissions, they will still get individual permissions
"read attributes", "read extended attributes" and "read permissions".
This is done for compatibility reasons, e.g. to allow users without
additional permissions to be able to read basic metadata about files
like in Unix.</p>
<p>WinFsp 2021 (version 1.9) introduced a new FUSE option
"FileSecurity", that allows the complete specification of file security
descriptors using <a
href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/secauthz/security-descriptor-string-format">SDDL</a>.
With this you get detailed control of the resulting permissions,
compared to use of the POSIX permissions described above, and no
additional permissions will be added automatically for compatibility
with Unix. Some example use cases will following.</p>
<p>If you set POSIX permissions for only allowing access to the owner,
using <code>--file-perms 0600 --dir-perms 0700</code>, the user group
and the built-in "Everyone" group will still be given some special
permissions, as described above. Some programs may then (incorrectly)
interpret this as the file being accessible by everyone, for example an
SSH client may warn about "unprotected private key file". You can work
around this by specifying
<code>-o FileSecurity="D:P(A;;FA;;;OW)"</code>, which sets file all
access (FA) to the owner (OW), and nothing else.</p>
<p>When setting write permissions then, except for the owner, this does
not include the "write extended attributes" permission, as mentioned
above. This may prevent applications from writing to files, giving
permission denied error instead. To set working write permissions for
the built-in "Everyone" group, similar to what it gets by default but
with the addition of the "write extended attributes", you can specify
<code>-o FileSecurity="D:P(A;;FRFW;;;WD)"</code>, which sets file read
(FR) and file write (FW) to everyone (WD). If file execute (FX) is also
needed, then change to
<code>-o FileSecurity="D:P(A;;FRFWFX;;;WD)"</code>, or set file all
access (FA) to get full access permissions, including delete, with
<code>-o FileSecurity="D:P(A;;FA;;;WD)"</code>.</p>
<h3 id="windows-caveats-1">Windows caveats</h3>
<p>Drives created as Administrator are not visible to other accounts,
not even an account that was elevated to Administrator with the User
Account Control (UAC) feature. A result of this is that if you mount to
a drive letter from a Command Prompt run as Administrator, and then try
to access the same drive from Windows Explorer (which does not run as
Administrator), you will not be able to see the mounted drive.</p>
<p>If you don't need to access the drive from applications running with
administrative privileges, the easiest way around this is to always
create the mount from a non-elevated command prompt.</p>
<p>To make mapped drives available to the user account that created them
regardless if elevated or not, there is a special Windows setting called
<a
href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/networking/mapped-drives-not-available-from-elevated-command#detail-to-configure-the-enablelinkedconnections-registry-entry">linked
connections</a> that can be enabled.</p>
<p>It is also possible to make a drive mount available to everyone on
the system, by running the process creating it as the built-in SYSTEM
account. There are several ways to do this: One is to use the
command-line utility <a
href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/psexec">PsExec</a>,
from Microsoft's Sysinternals suite, which has option <code>-s</code> to
start processes as the SYSTEM account. Another alternative is to run the
mount command from a Windows Scheduled Task, or a Windows Service,
configured to run as the SYSTEM account. A third alternative is to use
the <a
href="https://github.com/winfsp/winfsp/wiki/WinFsp-Service-Architecture">WinFsp.Launcher
infrastructure</a>). Read more in the <a
href="https://rclone.org/install/">install documentation</a>. Note that
when running rclone as another user, it will not use the configuration
file from your profile unless you tell it to with the <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#config-config-file"><code>--config</code></a>
option. Note also that it is now the SYSTEM account that will have the
owner permissions, and other accounts will have permissions according to
the group or others scopes. As mentioned above, these will then not get
the "write extended attributes" permission, and this may prevent writing
to files. You can work around this with the FileSecurity option, see
example above.</p>
<p>Note that mapping to a directory path, instead of a drive letter,
does not suffer from the same limitations.</p>
<h2 id="mounting-on-macos-1">Mounting on macOS</h2>
<p>Mounting on macOS can be done either via <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_serve_nfs/">built-in NFS
server</a>, <a href="https://osxfuse.github.io/">macFUSE</a> (also known
as osxfuse) or <a href="https://www.fuse-t.org/">FUSE-T</a>. macFUSE is
a traditional FUSE driver utilizing a macOS kernel extension (kext).
FUSE-T is an alternative FUSE system which "mounts" via an NFSv4 local
server.</p>
<h4 id="unicode-normalization-1">Unicode Normalization</h4>
<p>It is highly recommended to keep the default of
<code>--no-unicode-normalization=false</code> for all <code>mount</code>
and <code>serve</code> commands on macOS. For details, see <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_mount/#vfs-case-sensitivity">vfs-case-sensitivity</a>.</p>
<h3 id="nfs-mount-1">NFS mount</h3>
<p>This method spins up an NFS server using <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_serve_nfs/">serve nfs</a>
command and mounts it to the specified mountpoint. If you run this in
background mode using |--daemon|, you will need to send SIGTERM signal
to the rclone process using |kill| command to stop the mount.</p>
<p>Note that <code>--nfs-cache-handle-limit</code> controls the maximum
number of cached file handles stored by the <code>nfsmount</code>
caching handler. This should not be set too low or you may experience
errors when trying to access files. The default is 1000000, but consider
lowering this limit if the server's system resource usage causes
problems.</p>
<h3 id="macfuse-notes-1">macFUSE Notes</h3>
<p>If installing macFUSE using <a
href="https://github.com/osxfuse/osxfuse/releases">dmg packages</a> from
the website, rclone will locate the macFUSE libraries without any
further intervention. If however, macFUSE is installed using the <a
href="https://www.macports.org/">macports</a> package manager, the
following addition steps are required.</p>
<pre><code>sudo mkdir /usr/local/lib
cd /usr/local/lib
sudo ln -s /opt/local/lib/libfuse.2.dylib</code></pre>
<h3 id="fuse-t-limitations-caveats-and-notes-1">FUSE-T Limitations,
Caveats, and Notes</h3>
<p>There are some limitations, caveats, and notes about how it works.
These are current as of FUSE-T version 1.0.14.</p>
<h4 id="modtime-update-on-read-1">ModTime update on read</h4>
<p>As per the <a
href="https://github.com/macos-fuse-t/fuse-t/wiki#caveats">FUSE-T
wiki</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>File access and modification times cannot be set separately as it
seems to be an issue with the NFS client which always modifies both. Can
be reproduced with 'touch -m' and 'touch -a' commands</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This means that viewing files with various tools, notably macOS
Finder, will cause rlcone to update the modification time of the file.
This may make rclone upload a full new copy of the file.</p>
<h4 id="read-only-mounts-1">Read Only mounts</h4>
<p>When mounting with <code>--read-only</code>, attempts to write to
files will fail <em>silently</em> as opposed to with a clear warning as
in macFUSE.</p>
<h2 id="limitations-1">Limitations</h2>
<p>Without the use of <code>--vfs-cache-mode</code> this can only write
files sequentially, it can only seek when reading. This means that many
applications won't work with their files on an rclone mount without
<code>--vfs-cache-mode writes</code> or
<code>--vfs-cache-mode full</code>. See the <a
href="#vfs-file-caching">VFS File Caching</a> section for more info.
When using NFS mount on macOS, if you don't specify |--vfs-cache-mode|
the mount point will be read-only.</p>
<p>The bucket-based remotes (e.g. Swift, S3, Google Compute Storage, B2)
do not support the concept of empty directories, so empty directories
will have a tendency to disappear once they fall out of the directory
cache.</p>
<p>When <code>rclone mount</code> is invoked on Unix with
<code>--daemon</code> flag, the main rclone program will wait for the
background mount to become ready or until the timeout specified by the
<code>--daemon-wait</code> flag. On Linux it can check mount status
using ProcFS so the flag in fact sets <strong>maximum</strong> time to
wait, while the real wait can be less. On macOS / BSD the time to wait
is constant and the check is performed only at the end. We advise you to
set wait time on macOS reasonably.</p>
<p>Only supported on Linux, FreeBSD, OS X and Windows at the moment.</p>
<h2 id="rclone-nfsmount-vs-rclone-synccopy">rclone nfsmount vs rclone
sync/copy</h2>
<p>File systems expect things to be 100% reliable, whereas cloud storage
systems are a long way from 100% reliable. The rclone sync/copy commands
cope with this with lots of retries. However rclone nfsmount can't use
retries in the same way without making local copies of the uploads. Look
at the <a href="#vfs-file-caching">VFS File Caching</a> for solutions to
make nfsmount more reliable.</p>
<h2 id="attribute-caching-1">Attribute caching</h2>
<p>You can use the flag <code>--attr-timeout</code> to set the time the
kernel caches the attributes (size, modification time, etc.) for
directory entries.</p>
<p>The default is <code>1s</code> which caches files just long enough to
avoid too many callbacks to rclone from the kernel.</p>
<p>In theory 0s should be the correct value for filesystems which can
change outside the control of the kernel. However this causes quite a
few problems such as <a
href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/2157">rclone using too
much memory</a>, <a
href="https://forum.rclone.org/t/rclone-1-39-vs-1-40-mount-issue/5112">rclone
not serving files to samba</a> and <a
href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/2095#issuecomment-371141147">excessive
time listing directories</a>.</p>
<p>The kernel can cache the info about a file for the time given by
<code>--attr-timeout</code>. You may see corruption if the remote file
changes length during this window. It will show up as either a truncated
file or a file with garbage on the end. With
<code>--attr-timeout 1s</code> this is very unlikely but not impossible.
The higher you set <code>--attr-timeout</code> the more likely it is.
The default setting of "1s" is the lowest setting which mitigates the
problems above.</p>
<p>If you set it higher (<code>10s</code> or <code>1m</code> say) then
the kernel will call back to rclone less often making it more efficient,
however there is more chance of the corruption issue above.</p>
<p>If files don't change on the remote outside of the control of rclone
then there is no chance of corruption.</p>
<p>This is the same as setting the attr_timeout option in
mount.fuse.</p>
<h2 id="filters-1">Filters</h2>
<p>Note that all the rclone filters can be used to select a subset of
the files to be visible in the mount.</p>
<h2 id="systemd-1">systemd</h2>
<p>When running rclone nfsmount as a systemd service, it is possible to
use Type=notify. In this case the service will enter the started state
after the mountpoint has been successfully set up. Units having the
rclone nfsmount service specified as a requirement will see all files
and folders immediately in this mode.</p>
<p>Note that systemd runs mount units without any environment variables
including <code>PATH</code> or <code>HOME</code>. This means that tilde
(<code>~</code>) expansion will not work and you should provide
<code>--config</code> and <code>--cache-dir</code> explicitly as
absolute paths via rclone arguments. Since mounting requires the
<code>fusermount</code> or <code>fusermount3</code> program, rclone will
use the fallback PATH of <code>/bin:/usr/bin</code> in this scenario.
Please ensure that <code>fusermount</code>/<code>fusermount3</code> is
present on this PATH.</p>
<h2 id="rclone-as-unix-mount-helper-1">Rclone as Unix mount helper</h2>
<p>The core Unix program <code>/bin/mount</code> normally takes the
<code>-t FSTYPE</code> argument then runs the
<code>/sbin/mount.FSTYPE</code> helper program passing it mount options
as <code>-o key=val,...</code> or <code>--opt=...</code>. Automount
(classic or systemd) behaves in a similar way.</p>
<p>rclone by default expects GNU-style flags <code>--key val</code>. To
run it as a mount helper you should symlink rclone binary to
<code>/sbin/mount.rclone</code> and optionally
<code>/usr/bin/rclonefs</code>, e.g.
<code>ln -s /usr/bin/rclone /sbin/mount.rclone</code>. rclone will
detect it and translate command-line arguments appropriately.</p>
<p>Now you can run classic mounts like this:</p>
<pre><code>mount sftp1:subdir /mnt/data -t rclone -o vfs_cache_mode=writes,sftp_key_file=/path/to/pem</code></pre>
<p>or create systemd mount units:</p>
<pre><code># /etc/systemd/system/mnt-data.mount
[Unit]
Description=Mount for /mnt/data
[Mount]
Type=rclone
What=sftp1:subdir
Where=/mnt/data
Options=rw,_netdev,allow_other,args2env,vfs-cache-mode=writes,config=/etc/rclone.conf,cache-dir=/var/rclone</code></pre>
<p>optionally accompanied by systemd automount unit</p>
<pre><code># /etc/systemd/system/mnt-data.automount
[Unit]
Description=AutoMount for /mnt/data
[Automount]
Where=/mnt/data
TimeoutIdleSec=600
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target</code></pre>
<p>or add in <code>/etc/fstab</code> a line like</p>
<pre><code>sftp1:subdir /mnt/data rclone rw,noauto,nofail,_netdev,x-systemd.automount,args2env,vfs_cache_mode=writes,config=/etc/rclone.conf,cache_dir=/var/cache/rclone 0 0</code></pre>
<p>or use classic Automountd. Remember to provide explicit
<code>config=...,cache-dir=...</code> as a workaround for mount units
being run without <code>HOME</code>.</p>
<p>Rclone in the mount helper mode will split <code>-o</code>
argument(s) by comma, replace <code>_</code> by <code>-</code> and
prepend <code>--</code> to get the command-line flags. Options
containing commas or spaces can be wrapped in single or double quotes.
Any inner quotes inside outer quotes of the same type should be
doubled.</p>
<p>Mount option syntax includes a few extra options treated
specially:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>env.NAME=VALUE</code> will set an environment variable for the
mount process. This helps with Automountd and Systemd.mount which don't
allow setting custom environment for mount helpers. Typically you will
use <code>env.HTTPS_PROXY=proxy.host:3128</code> or
<code>env.HOME=/root</code></li>
<li><code>command=cmount</code> can be used to run <code>cmount</code>
or any other rclone command rather than the default
<code>mount</code>.</li>
<li><code>args2env</code> will pass mount options to the mount helper
running in background via environment variables instead of command line
arguments. This allows to hide secrets from such commands as
<code>ps</code> or <code>pgrep</code>.</li>
<li><code>vv...</code> will be transformed into appropriate
<code>--verbose=N</code></li>
<li>standard mount options like <code>x-systemd.automount</code>,
<code>_netdev</code>, <code>nosuid</code> and alike are intended only
for Automountd and ignored by rclone.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="vfs---virtual-file-system-1">VFS - Virtual File System</h2>
<p>This command uses the VFS layer. This adapts the cloud storage
objects that rclone uses into something which looks much more like a
disk filing system.</p>
<p>Cloud storage objects have lots of properties which aren't like disk
files - you can't extend them or write to the middle of them, so the VFS
layer has to deal with that. Because there is no one right way of doing
this there are various options explained below.</p>
<p>The VFS layer also implements a directory cache - this caches info
about files and directories (but not the data) in memory.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-directory-cache-1">VFS Directory Cache</h2>
<p>Using the <code>--dir-cache-time</code> flag, you can control how
long a directory should be considered up to date and not refreshed from
the backend. Changes made through the VFS will appear immediately or
invalidate the cache.</p>
<pre><code>--dir-cache-time duration Time to cache directory entries for (default 5m0s)
--poll-interval duration Time to wait between polling for changes. Must be smaller than dir-cache-time. Only on supported remotes. Set to 0 to disable (default 1m0s)</code></pre>
<p>However, changes made directly on the cloud storage by the web
interface or a different copy of rclone will only be picked up once the
directory cache expires if the backend configured does not support
polling for changes. If the backend supports polling, changes will be
picked up within the polling interval.</p>
<p>You can send a <code>SIGHUP</code> signal to rclone for it to flush
all directory caches, regardless of how old they are. Assuming only one
rclone instance is running, you can reset the cache like this:</p>
<pre><code>kill -SIGHUP $(pidof rclone)</code></pre>
<p>If you configure rclone with a <a href="/rc">remote control</a> then
you can use rclone rc to flush the whole directory cache:</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/forget</code></pre>
<p>Or individual files or directories:</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/forget file=path/to/file dir=path/to/dir</code></pre>
<h2 id="vfs-file-buffering-1">VFS File Buffering</h2>
<p>The <code>--buffer-size</code> flag determines the amount of memory,
that will be used to buffer data in advance.</p>
<p>Each open file will try to keep the specified amount of data in
memory at all times. The buffered data is bound to one open file and
won't be shared.</p>
<p>This flag is a upper limit for the used memory per open file. The
buffer will only use memory for data that is downloaded but not not yet
read. If the buffer is empty, only a small amount of memory will be
used.</p>
<p>The maximum memory used by rclone for buffering can be up to
<code>--buffer-size * open files</code>.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-file-caching-1">VFS File Caching</h2>
<p>These flags control the VFS file caching options. File caching is
necessary to make the VFS layer appear compatible with a normal file
system. It can be disabled at the cost of some compatibility.</p>
<p>For example you'll need to enable VFS caching if you want to read and
write simultaneously to a file. See below for more details.</p>
<p>Note that the VFS cache is separate from the cache backend and you
may find that you need one or the other or both.</p>
<pre><code>--cache-dir string Directory rclone will use for caching.
--vfs-cache-mode CacheMode Cache mode off|minimal|writes|full (default off)
--vfs-cache-max-age duration Max time since last access of objects in the cache (default 1h0m0s)
--vfs-cache-max-size SizeSuffix Max total size of objects in the cache (default off)
--vfs-cache-min-free-space SizeSuffix Target minimum free space on the disk containing the cache (default off)
--vfs-cache-poll-interval duration Interval to poll the cache for stale objects (default 1m0s)
--vfs-write-back duration Time to writeback files after last use when using cache (default 5s)</code></pre>
<p>If run with <code>-vv</code> rclone will print the location of the
file cache. The files are stored in the user cache file area which is OS
dependent but can be controlled with <code>--cache-dir</code> or setting
the appropriate environment variable.</p>
<p>The cache has 4 different modes selected by
<code>--vfs-cache-mode</code>. The higher the cache mode the more
compatible rclone becomes at the cost of using disk space.</p>
<p>Note that files are written back to the remote only when they are
closed and if they haven't been accessed for
<code>--vfs-write-back</code> seconds. If rclone is quit or dies with
files that haven't been uploaded, these will be uploaded next time
rclone is run with the same flags.</p>
<p>If using <code>--vfs-cache-max-size</code> or
<code>--vfs-cache-min-free-size</code> note that the cache may exceed
these quotas for two reasons. Firstly because it is only checked every
<code>--vfs-cache-poll-interval</code>. Secondly because open files
cannot be evicted from the cache. When <code>--vfs-cache-max-size</code>
or <code>--vfs-cache-min-free-size</code> is exceeded, rclone will
attempt to evict the least accessed files from the cache first. rclone
will start with files that haven't been accessed for the longest. This
cache flushing strategy is efficient and more relevant files are likely
to remain cached.</p>
<p>The <code>--vfs-cache-max-age</code> will evict files from the cache
after the set time since last access has passed. The default value of 1
hour will start evicting files from cache that haven't been accessed for
1 hour. When a cached file is accessed the 1 hour timer is reset to 0
and will wait for 1 more hour before evicting. Specify the time with
standard notation, s, m, h, d, w .</p>
<p>You <strong>should not</strong> run two copies of rclone using the
same VFS cache with the same or overlapping remotes if using
<code>--vfs-cache-mode &gt; off</code>. This can potentially cause data
corruption if you do. You can work around this by giving each rclone its
own cache hierarchy with <code>--cache-dir</code>. You don't need to
worry about this if the remotes in use don't overlap.</p>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-off-1">--vfs-cache-mode off</h3>
<p>In this mode (the default) the cache will read directly from the
remote and write directly to the remote without caching anything on
disk.</p>
<p>This will mean some operations are not possible</p>
<ul>
<li>Files can't be opened for both read AND write</li>
<li>Files opened for write can't be seeked</li>
<li>Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set</li>
<li>Files open for read with O_TRUNC will be opened write only</li>
<li>Files open for write only will behave as if O_TRUNC was
supplied</li>
<li>Open modes O_APPEND, O_TRUNC are ignored</li>
<li>If an upload fails it can't be retried</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-minimal-1">--vfs-cache-mode minimal</h3>
<p>This is very similar to "off" except that files opened for read AND
write will be buffered to disk. This means that files opened for write
will be a lot more compatible, but uses the minimal disk space.</p>
<p>These operations are not possible</p>
<ul>
<li>Files opened for write only can't be seeked</li>
<li>Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set</li>
<li>Files opened for write only will ignore O_APPEND, O_TRUNC</li>
<li>If an upload fails it can't be retried</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-writes-1">--vfs-cache-mode writes</h3>
<p>In this mode files opened for read only are still read directly from
the remote, write only and read/write files are buffered to disk
first.</p>
<p>This mode should support all normal file system operations.</p>
<p>If an upload fails it will be retried at exponentially increasing
intervals up to 1 minute.</p>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-full-1">--vfs-cache-mode full</h3>
<p>In this mode all reads and writes are buffered to and from disk. When
data is read from the remote this is buffered to disk as well.</p>
<p>In this mode the files in the cache will be sparse files and rclone
will keep track of which bits of the files it has downloaded.</p>
<p>So if an application only reads the starts of each file, then rclone
will only buffer the start of the file. These files will appear to be
their full size in the cache, but they will be sparse files with only
the data that has been downloaded present in them.</p>
<p>This mode should support all normal file system operations and is
otherwise identical to <code>--vfs-cache-mode</code> writes.</p>
<p>When reading a file rclone will read <code>--buffer-size</code> plus
<code>--vfs-read-ahead</code> bytes ahead. The
<code>--buffer-size</code> is buffered in memory whereas the
<code>--vfs-read-ahead</code> is buffered on disk.</p>
<p>When using this mode it is recommended that
<code>--buffer-size</code> is not set too large and
<code>--vfs-read-ahead</code> is set large if required.</p>
<p><strong>IMPORTANT</strong> not all file systems support sparse files.
In particular FAT/exFAT do not. Rclone will perform very badly if the
cache directory is on a filesystem which doesn't support sparse files
and it will log an ERROR message if one is detected.</p>
<h3 id="fingerprinting-1">Fingerprinting</h3>
<p>Various parts of the VFS use fingerprinting to see if a local file
copy has changed relative to a remote file. Fingerprints are made
from:</p>
<ul>
<li>size</li>
<li>modification time</li>
<li>hash</li>
</ul>
<p>where available on an object.</p>
<p>On some backends some of these attributes are slow to read (they take
an extra API call per object, or extra work per object).</p>
<p>For example <code>hash</code> is slow with the <code>local</code> and
<code>sftp</code> backends as they have to read the entire file and hash
it, and <code>modtime</code> is slow with the <code>s3</code>,
<code>swift</code>, <code>ftp</code> and <code>qinqstor</code> backends
because they need to do an extra API call to fetch it.</p>
<p>If you use the <code>--vfs-fast-fingerprint</code> flag then rclone
will not include the slow operations in the fingerprint. This makes the
fingerprinting less accurate but much faster and will improve the
opening time of cached files.</p>
<p>If you are running a vfs cache over <code>local</code>,
<code>s3</code> or <code>swift</code> backends then using this flag is
recommended.</p>
<p>Note that if you change the value of this flag, the fingerprints of
the files in the cache may be invalidated and the files will need to be
downloaded again.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-chunked-reading-1">VFS Chunked Reading</h2>
<p>When rclone reads files from a remote it reads them in chunks. This
means that rather than requesting the whole file rclone reads the chunk
specified. This can reduce the used download quota for some remotes by
requesting only chunks from the remote that are actually read, at the
cost of an increased number of requests.</p>
<p>These flags control the chunking:</p>
<pre><code>--vfs-read-chunk-size SizeSuffix Read the source objects in chunks (default 128M)
--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit SizeSuffix Max chunk doubling size (default off)
--vfs-read-chunk-streams int The number of parallel streams to read at once</code></pre>
<p>The chunking behaves differently depending on the
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> parameter.</p>
<h3
id="vfs-read-chunk-streams-0-2"><code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> ==
0</h3>
<p>Rclone will start reading a chunk of size
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code>, and then double the size for each
read. When <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit</code> is specified, and
greater than <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code>, the chunk size for each
open file will get doubled only until the specified value is reached. If
the value is "off", which is the default, the limit is disabled and the
chunk size will grow indefinitely.</p>
<p>With <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size 100M</code> and
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 0</code> the following parts will be
downloaded: 0-100M, 100M-200M, 200M-300M, 300M-400M and so on. When
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 500M</code> is specified, the result
would be 0-100M, 100M-300M, 300M-700M, 700M-1200M, 1200M-1700M and so
on.</p>
<p>Setting <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code> to <code>0</code> or "off"
disables chunked reading.</p>
<p>The chunks will not be buffered in memory.</p>
<h3
id="vfs-read-chunk-streams-0-3"><code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code>
&gt; 0</h3>
<p>Rclone reads <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> chunks of size
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code> concurrently. The size for each read
will stay constant.</p>
<p>This improves performance performance massively on high latency links
or very high bandwidth links to high performance object stores.</p>
<p>Some experimentation will be needed to find the optimum values of
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code> and
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> as these will depend on the
backend in use and the latency to the backend.</p>
<p>For high performance object stores (eg AWS S3) a reasonable place to
start might be <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams 16</code> and
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size 4M</code>. In testing with AWS S3 the
performance scaled roughly as the <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code>
setting.</p>
<p>Similar settings should work for high latency links, but depending on
the latency they may need more <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> in
order to get the throughput.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-performance-1">VFS Performance</h2>
<p>These flags may be used to enable/disable features of the VFS for
performance or other reasons. See also the <a
href="#vfs-chunked-reading">chunked reading</a> feature.</p>
<p>In particular S3 and Swift benefit hugely from the
<code>--no-modtime</code> flag (or use <code>--use-server-modtime</code>
for a slightly different effect) as each read of the modification time
takes a transaction.</p>
<pre><code>--no-checksum Don&#39;t compare checksums on up/download.
--no-modtime Don&#39;t read/write the modification time (can speed things up).
--no-seek Don&#39;t allow seeking in files.
--read-only Only allow read-only access.</code></pre>
<p>Sometimes rclone is delivered reads or writes out of order. Rather
than seeking rclone will wait a short time for the in sequence read or
write to come in. These flags only come into effect when not using an on
disk cache file.</p>
<pre><code>--vfs-read-wait duration Time to wait for in-sequence read before seeking (default 20ms)
--vfs-write-wait duration Time to wait for in-sequence write before giving error (default 1s)</code></pre>
<p>When using VFS write caching (<code>--vfs-cache-mode</code> with
value writes or full), the global flag <code>--transfers</code> can be
set to adjust the number of parallel uploads of modified files from the
cache (the related global flag <code>--checkers</code> has no effect on
the VFS).</p>
<pre><code>--transfers int Number of file transfers to run in parallel (default 4)</code></pre>
<h2 id="vfs-case-sensitivity-1">VFS Case Sensitivity</h2>
<p>Linux file systems are case-sensitive: two files can differ only by
case, and the exact case must be used when opening a file.</p>
<p>File systems in modern Windows are case-insensitive but
case-preserving: although existing files can be opened using any case,
the exact case used to create the file is preserved and available for
programs to query. It is not allowed for two files in the same directory
to differ only by case.</p>
<p>Usually file systems on macOS are case-insensitive. It is possible to
make macOS file systems case-sensitive but that is not the default.</p>
<p>The <code>--vfs-case-insensitive</code> VFS flag controls how rclone
handles these two cases. If its value is "false", rclone passes file
names to the remote as-is. If the flag is "true" (or appears without a
value on the command line), rclone may perform a "fixup" as explained
below.</p>
<p>The user may specify a file name to open/delete/rename/etc with a
case different than what is stored on the remote. If an argument refers
to an existing file with exactly the same name, then the case of the
existing file on the disk will be used. However, if a file name with
exactly the same name is not found but a name differing only by case
exists, rclone will transparently fixup the name. This fixup happens
only when an existing file is requested. Case sensitivity of file names
created anew by rclone is controlled by the underlying remote.</p>
<p>Note that case sensitivity of the operating system running rclone
(the target) may differ from case sensitivity of a file system presented
by rclone (the source). The flag controls whether "fixup" is performed
to satisfy the target.</p>
<p>If the flag is not provided on the command line, then its default
value depends on the operating system where rclone runs: "true" on
Windows and macOS, "false" otherwise. If the flag is provided without a
value, then it is "true".</p>
<p>The <code>--no-unicode-normalization</code> flag controls whether a
similar "fixup" is performed for filenames that differ but are <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_equivalence">canonically
equivalent</a> with respect to unicode. Unicode normalization can be
particularly helpful for users of macOS, which prefers form NFD instead
of the NFC used by most other platforms. It is therefore highly
recommended to keep the default of <code>false</code> on macOS, to avoid
encoding compatibility issues.</p>
<p>In the (probably unlikely) event that a directory has multiple
duplicate filenames after applying case and unicode normalization, the
<code>--vfs-block-norm-dupes</code> flag allows hiding these duplicates.
This comes with a performance tradeoff, as rclone will have to scan the
entire directory for duplicates when listing a directory. For this
reason, it is recommended to leave this disabled if not needed. However,
macOS users may wish to consider using it, as otherwise, if a remote
directory contains both NFC and NFD versions of the same filename, an
odd situation will occur: both versions of the file will be visible in
the mount, and both will appear to be editable, however, editing either
version will actually result in only the NFD version getting edited
under the hood. <code>--vfs-block- norm-dupes</code> prevents this
confusion by detecting this scenario, hiding the duplicates, and logging
an error, similar to how this is handled in
<code>rclone sync</code>.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-disk-options-1">VFS Disk Options</h2>
<p>This flag allows you to manually set the statistics about the filing
system. It can be useful when those statistics cannot be read correctly
automatically.</p>
<pre><code>--vfs-disk-space-total-size Manually set the total disk space size (example: 256G, default: -1)</code></pre>
<h2 id="alternate-report-of-used-bytes-1">Alternate report of used
bytes</h2>
<p>Some backends, most notably S3, do not report the amount of bytes
used. If you need this information to be available when running
<code>df</code> on the filesystem, then pass the flag
<code>--vfs-used-is-size</code> to rclone. With this flag set, instead
of relying on the backend to report this information, rclone will scan
the whole remote similar to <code>rclone size</code> and compute the
total used space itself.</p>
<p><em>WARNING.</em> Contrary to <code>rclone size</code>, this flag
ignores filters so that the result is accurate. However, this is very
inefficient and may cost lots of API calls resulting in extra charges.
Use it as a last resort and only with caching.</p>

<h1 id="rclone-obscure">rclone obscure</h1>
<p>Obscure password for use in the rclone config file.</p>
<h2 id="synopsis-56">Synopsis</h2>
<p>In the rclone config file, human-readable passwords are obscured.
Obscuring them is done by encrypting them and writing them out in
base64. This is <strong>not</strong> a secure way of encrypting these
passwords as rclone can decrypt them - it is to prevent "eyedropping" -
namely someone seeing a password in the rclone config file by
accident.</p>
<p>Many equally important things (like access tokens) are not obscured
in the config file. However it is very hard to shoulder surf a 64
character hex token.</p>
<p>This command can also accept a password through STDIN instead of an
argument by passing a hyphen as an argument. This will use the first
line of STDIN as the password not including the trailing newline.</p>
<pre><code>echo &quot;secretpassword&quot; | rclone obscure -</code></pre>
<p>If there is no data on STDIN to read, rclone obscure will default to
obfuscating the hyphen itself.</p>
<p>If you want to encrypt the config file then please use config file
encryption - see <a

<h1 id="rclone-rc">rclone rc</h1>
<p>Run a command against a running rclone.</p>
<h2 id="synopsis-57">Synopsis</h2>
<p>This runs a command against a running rclone. Use the
<code>--url</code> flag to specify an non default URL to connect on.
This can be either a ":port" which is taken to mean
"http://localhost:port" or a "host:port" which is taken to mean
"http://host:port"</p>
<p>A username and password can be passed in with <code>--user</code> and
<code>--pass</code>.</p>
<p>Note that <code>--rc-addr</code>, <code>--rc-user</code>,
<code>--rc-pass</code> will be read also for <code>--url</code>,
<code>--user</code>, <code>--pass</code>.</p>
<p>The <code>--unix-socket</code> flag can be used to connect over a
unix socket like this</p>
<pre><code># start server on /tmp/my.socket
rclone rcd --rc-addr unix:///tmp/my.socket
# Connect to it
rclone rc --unix-socket /tmp/my.socket core/stats</code></pre>
<p>Arguments should be passed in as parameter=value.</p>
<p>The result will be returned as a JSON object by default.</p>
<p>The <code>--json</code> parameter can be used to pass in a JSON blob
as an input instead of key=value arguments. This is the only way of
passing in more complicated values.</p>
<p>The <code>-o</code>/<code>--opt</code> option can be used to set a
key "opt" with key, value options in the form <code>-o key=value</code>
or <code>-o key</code>. It can be repeated as many times as required.
This is useful for rc commands which take the "opt" parameter which by
convention is a dictionary of strings.</p>
<pre><code>-o key=value -o key2</code></pre>
<p>Will place this in the "opt" value</p>
<pre><code>{&quot;key&quot;:&quot;value&quot;, &quot;key2&quot;,&quot;&quot;)</code></pre>
<p>The <code>-a</code>/<code>--arg</code> option can be used to set
strings in the "arg" value. It can be repeated as many times as
required. This is useful for rc commands which take the "arg" parameter
which by convention is a list of strings.</p>
<pre><code>-a value -a value2</code></pre>
<p>Will place this in the "arg" value</p>
<pre><code>[&quot;value&quot;, &quot;value2&quot;]</code></pre>
<p>Use <code>--loopback</code> to connect to the rclone instance running
<code>rclone rc</code>. This is very useful for testing commands without
having to run an rclone rc server, e.g.:</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc --loopback operations/about fs=/</code></pre>
<p>Use <code>rclone rc</code> to see a list of all possible
commands.</p>

--pass string Password to use to connect to rclone remote control
--unix-socket string Path to a unix domain socket to dial to, instead of opening a TCP connection directly

<h1 id="rclone-rcat">rclone rcat</h1>
<p>Copies standard input to file on remote.</p>
<h2 id="synopsis-58">Synopsis</h2>
<p>Reads from standard input (stdin) and copies it to a single remote
file.</p>
<pre><code>echo &quot;hello world&quot; | rclone rcat remote:path/to/file
ffmpeg - | rclone rcat remote:path/to/file</code></pre>
<p>If the remote file already exists, it will be overwritten.</p>
<p>rcat will try to upload small files in a single request, which is
usually more efficient than the streaming/chunked upload endpoints,
which use multiple requests. Exact behaviour depends on the remote. What
is considered a small file may be set through
<code>--streaming-upload-cutoff</code>. Uploading only starts after the
cutoff is reached or if the file ends before that. The data must fit
into RAM. The cutoff needs to be small enough to adhere the limits of
your remote, please see there. Generally speaking, setting this cutoff
too high will decrease your performance.</p>
<p>Use the <code>--size</code> flag to preallocate the file in advance
at the remote end and actually stream it, even if remote backend doesn't
support streaming.</p>
<p><code>--size</code> should be the exact size of the input stream in
bytes. If the size of the stream is different in length to the
<code>--size</code> passed in then the transfer will likely fail.</p>
<p>Note that the upload cannot be retried because the data is not
stored. If the backend supports multipart uploading then individual
chunks can be retried. If you need to transfer a lot of data, you may be
better off caching it locally and then <code>rclone move</code> it to
the destination which can use retries.</p>

<p>Run rclone listening to remote control commands only.</p>
<h2 id="synopsis-59">Synopsis</h2>
<p>This runs rclone so that it only listens to remote control
commands.</p>
<p>This is useful if you are controlling rclone via the rc API.</p>
<p>If you pass in a path to a directory, rclone will serve that
directory for GET requests on the URL passed in. It will also open the
URL in the browser when rclone is run.</p>
<p>See the <a href="https://rclone.org/rc/">rc documentation</a> for
more info on the rc flags.</p>
<h2 id="server-options">Server options</h2>
<p>Use <code>--rc-addr</code> to specify which IP address and port the
server should listen on, eg <code>--rc-addr 1.2.3.4:8000</code> or
<code>--rc-addr :8080</code> to listen to all IPs. By default it only
listens on localhost. You can use port :0 to let the OS choose an
available port.</p>
<p>If you set <code>--rc-addr</code> to listen on a public or LAN
accessible IP address then using Authentication is advised - see the
next section for info.</p>
<p>You can use a unix socket by setting the url to
<code>unix:///path/to/socket</code> or just by using an absolute path
name. Note that unix sockets bypass the authentication - this is
expected to be done with file system permissions.</p>
<p><code>--rc-addr</code> may be repeated to listen on multiple
IPs/ports/sockets. Socket activation, described further below, can also
be used to accomplish the same.</p>
<p><code>--rc-server-read-timeout</code> and
<code>--rc-server-write-timeout</code> can be used to control the
timeouts on the server. Note that this is the total time for a
transfer.</p>
<p><code>--rc-max-header-bytes</code> controls the maximum number of
bytes the server will accept in the HTTP header.</p>
<p><code>--rc-baseurl</code> controls the URL prefix that rclone serves
from. By default rclone will serve from the root. If you used
<code>--rc-baseurl "/rclone"</code> then rclone would serve from a URL
starting with "/rclone/". This is useful if you wish to proxy rclone
serve. Rclone automatically inserts leading and trailing "/" on
<code>--rc-baseurl</code>, so <code>--rc-baseurl "rclone"</code>,
<code>--rc-baseurl "/rclone"</code> and
<code>--rc-baseurl "/rclone/"</code> are all treated identically.</p>
<h3 id="tls-ssl">TLS (SSL)</h3>
<p>By default this will serve over http. If you want you can serve over
https. You will need to supply the <code>--rc-cert</code> and
<code>--rc-key</code> flags. If you wish to do client side certificate
validation then you will need to supply <code>--rc-client-ca</code>
also.</p>
<p><code>--rc-cert</code> should be a either a PEM encoded certificate
or a concatenation of that with the CA certificate.
<code>--krc-ey</code> should be the PEM encoded private key and
<code>--rc-client-ca</code> should be the PEM encoded client certificate
authority certificate.</p>
<p><code>--rc-min-tls-version</code> is minimum TLS version that is
acceptable. Valid values are "tls1.0", "tls1.1", "tls1.2" and "tls1.3"
(default "tls1.0").</p>
<h2 id="socket-activation">Socket activation</h2>
<p>Instead of the listening addresses specified above, rclone will
listen to all FDs passed by the service manager, if any (and ignore any
arguments passed by --rc-addr`).</p>
<p>This allows rclone to be a socket-activated service. It can be
configured with .socket and .service unit files as described in
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd.socket.html</p>
<p>Socket activation can be tested ad-hoc with the
<code>systemd-socket-activate</code>command</p>
<pre><code> systemd-socket-activate -l 8000 -- rclone serve</code></pre>
<p>This will socket-activate rclone on the first connection to port 8000
over TCP. ### Template</p>
<p><code>--rc-template</code> allows a user to specify a custom markup
template for HTTP and WebDAV serve functions. The server exports the
following markup to be used within the template to server pages:</p>

<h3 id="authentication">Authentication</h3>
<p>By default this will serve files without needing a login.</p>
<p>You can either use an htpasswd file which can take lots of users, or
set a single username and password with the <code>--rc-user</code> and
<code>--rc-pass</code> flags.</p>
<p>If no static users are configured by either of the above methods, and
client certificates are required by the <code>--client-ca</code> flag
passed to the server, the client certificate common name will be
considered as the username.</p>
<p>Use <code>--rc-htpasswd /path/to/htpasswd</code> to provide an
htpasswd file. This is in standard apache format and supports MD5, SHA1
and BCrypt for basic authentication. Bcrypt is recommended.</p>
<p>To create an htpasswd file:</p>
<pre><code>touch htpasswd
htpasswd -B htpasswd user
htpasswd -B htpasswd anotherUser</code></pre>
<p>The password file can be updated while rclone is running.</p>
<p>Use <code>--rc-realm</code> to set the authentication realm.</p>
<p>Use <code>--rc-salt</code> to change the password hashing salt from

<h1 id="rclone-rmdirs">rclone rmdirs</h1>
<p>Remove empty directories under the path.</p>
<h2 id="synopsis-60">Synopsis</h2>
<p>This recursively removes any empty directories (including directories
that only contain empty directories), that it finds under the path. The
root path itself will also be removed if it is empty, unless you supply
the <code>--leave-root</code> flag.</p>
<p>Use command <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_rmdir/">rmdir</a> to delete
just the empty directory given by path, not recurse.</p>
<p>This is useful for tidying up remotes that rclone has left a lot of
empty directories in. For example the <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_delete/">delete</a> command
will delete files but leave the directory structure (unless used with
option <code>--rmdirs</code>).</p>
<p>This will delete <code>--checkers</code> directories concurrently so
if you have thousands of empty directories consider increasing this
number.</p>
<p>To delete a path and any objects in it, use the <a

<h1 id="rclone-selfupdate">rclone selfupdate</h1>
<p>Update the rclone binary.</p>
<h2 id="synopsis-61">Synopsis</h2>
<p>This command downloads the latest release of rclone and replaces the
currently running binary. The download is verified with a hashsum and
cryptographically signed signature; see <a
href="https://rclone.org/release_signing/">the release signing docs</a>
for details.</p>
<p>If used without flags (or with implied <code>--stable</code> flag),
this command will install the latest stable release. However, some
issues may be fixed (or features added) only in the latest beta release.
In such cases you should run the command with the <code>--beta</code>
flag, i.e. <code>rclone selfupdate --beta</code>. You can check in
advance what version would be installed by adding the
<code>--check</code> flag, then repeat the command without it when you
are satisfied.</p>
<p>Sometimes the rclone team may recommend you a concrete beta or stable
rclone release to troubleshoot your issue or add a bleeding edge
feature. The <code>--version VER</code> flag, if given, will update to
the concrete version instead of the latest one. If you omit micro
version from <code>VER</code> (for example <code>1.53</code>), the
latest matching micro version will be used.</p>
<p>Upon successful update rclone will print a message that contains a
previous version number. You will need it if you later decide to revert
your update for some reason. Then you'll have to note the previous
version and run the following command:
<code>rclone selfupdate [--beta] OLDVER</code>. If the old version
contains only dots and digits (for example <code>v1.54.0</code>) then
it's a stable release so you won't need the <code>--beta</code> flag.
Beta releases have an additional information similar to
<code>v1.54.0-beta.5111.06f1c0c61</code>. (if you are a developer and
use a locally built rclone, the version number will end with
<code>-DEV</code>, you will have to rebuild it as it obviously can't be
distributed).</p>
<p>If you previously installed rclone via a package manager, the package
may include local documentation or configure services. You may wish to
update with the flag <code>--package deb</code> or
<code>--package rpm</code> (whichever is correct for your OS) to update
these too. This command with the default <code>--package zip</code> will
update only the rclone executable so the local manual may become
inaccurate after it.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_mount/">rclone
mount</a> command may or may not support extended FUSE options depending
on the build and OS. <code>selfupdate</code> will refuse to update if
the capability would be discarded.</p>
<p>Note: Windows forbids deletion of a currently running executable so
this command will rename the old executable to 'rclone.old.exe' upon
success.</p>
<p>Please note that this command was not available before rclone version
1.55. If it fails for you with the message
<code>unknown command "selfupdate"</code> then you will need to update
manually following the install instructions located at
https://rclone.org/install/</p>

<h1 id="rclone-serve-dlna">rclone serve dlna</h1>
<p>Serve remote:path over DLNA</p>
<h2 id="synopsis-63">Synopsis</h2>
<p>Run a DLNA media server for media stored in an rclone remote. Many
devices, such as the Xbox and PlayStation, can automatically discover
this server in the LAN and play audio/video from it. VLC is also
supported. Service discovery uses UDP multicast packets (SSDP) and will
thus only work on LANs.</p>
<p>Rclone will list all files present in the remote, without filtering
based on media formats or file extensions. Additionally, there is no
media transcoding support. This means that some players might show files
that they are not able to play back correctly.</p>
<p>Rclone will add external subtitle files (.srt) to videos if they have
the same filename as the video file itself (except the extension),
either in the same directory as the video, or in a "Subs"
subdirectory.</p>
<h2 id="server-options-1">Server options</h2>
<p>Use <code>--addr</code> to specify which IP address and port the
server should listen on, e.g. <code>--addr 1.2.3.4:8000</code> or
<code>--addr :8080</code> to listen to all IPs.</p>
<p>Use <code>--name</code> to choose the friendly server name, which is
by default "rclone (hostname)".</p>
<p>Use <code>--log-trace</code> in conjunction with <code>-vv</code> to
enable additional debug logging of all UPNP traffic.</p>
<h2 id="vfs---virtual-file-system-2">VFS - Virtual File System</h2>
<p>This command uses the VFS layer. This adapts the cloud storage
objects that rclone uses into something which looks much more like a
disk filing system.</p>
<p>Cloud storage objects have lots of properties which aren't like disk
files - you can't extend them or write to the middle of them, so the VFS
layer has to deal with that. Because there is no one right way of doing
this there are various options explained below.</p>
<p>The VFS layer also implements a directory cache - this caches info
about files and directories (but not the data) in memory.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-directory-cache-2">VFS Directory Cache</h2>
<p>Using the <code>--dir-cache-time</code> flag, you can control how
long a directory should be considered up to date and not refreshed from
the backend. Changes made through the VFS will appear immediately or
invalidate the cache.</p>
<pre><code>--dir-cache-time duration Time to cache directory entries for (default 5m0s)
--poll-interval duration Time to wait between polling for changes. Must be smaller than dir-cache-time. Only on supported remotes. Set to 0 to disable (default 1m0s)</code></pre>
<p>However, changes made directly on the cloud storage by the web
interface or a different copy of rclone will only be picked up once the
directory cache expires if the backend configured does not support
polling for changes. If the backend supports polling, changes will be
picked up within the polling interval.</p>
<p>You can send a <code>SIGHUP</code> signal to rclone for it to flush
all directory caches, regardless of how old they are. Assuming only one
rclone instance is running, you can reset the cache like this:</p>
<pre><code>kill -SIGHUP $(pidof rclone)</code></pre>
<p>If you configure rclone with a <a href="/rc">remote control</a> then
you can use rclone rc to flush the whole directory cache:</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/forget</code></pre>
<p>Or individual files or directories:</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/forget file=path/to/file dir=path/to/dir</code></pre>
<h2 id="vfs-file-buffering-2">VFS File Buffering</h2>
<p>The <code>--buffer-size</code> flag determines the amount of memory,
that will be used to buffer data in advance.</p>
<p>Each open file will try to keep the specified amount of data in
memory at all times. The buffered data is bound to one open file and
won't be shared.</p>
<p>This flag is a upper limit for the used memory per open file. The
buffer will only use memory for data that is downloaded but not not yet
read. If the buffer is empty, only a small amount of memory will be
used.</p>
<p>The maximum memory used by rclone for buffering can be up to
<code>--buffer-size * open files</code>.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-file-caching-2">VFS File Caching</h2>
<p>These flags control the VFS file caching options. File caching is
necessary to make the VFS layer appear compatible with a normal file
system. It can be disabled at the cost of some compatibility.</p>
<p>For example you'll need to enable VFS caching if you want to read and
write simultaneously to a file. See below for more details.</p>
<p>Note that the VFS cache is separate from the cache backend and you
may find that you need one or the other or both.</p>
<pre><code>--cache-dir string Directory rclone will use for caching.
--vfs-cache-mode CacheMode Cache mode off|minimal|writes|full (default off)
--vfs-cache-max-age duration Max time since last access of objects in the cache (default 1h0m0s)
--vfs-cache-max-size SizeSuffix Max total size of objects in the cache (default off)
--vfs-cache-min-free-space SizeSuffix Target minimum free space on the disk containing the cache (default off)
--vfs-cache-poll-interval duration Interval to poll the cache for stale objects (default 1m0s)
--vfs-write-back duration Time to writeback files after last use when using cache (default 5s)</code></pre>
<p>If run with <code>-vv</code> rclone will print the location of the
file cache. The files are stored in the user cache file area which is OS
dependent but can be controlled with <code>--cache-dir</code> or setting
the appropriate environment variable.</p>
<p>The cache has 4 different modes selected by
<code>--vfs-cache-mode</code>. The higher the cache mode the more
compatible rclone becomes at the cost of using disk space.</p>
<p>Note that files are written back to the remote only when they are
closed and if they haven't been accessed for
<code>--vfs-write-back</code> seconds. If rclone is quit or dies with
files that haven't been uploaded, these will be uploaded next time
rclone is run with the same flags.</p>
<p>If using <code>--vfs-cache-max-size</code> or
<code>--vfs-cache-min-free-size</code> note that the cache may exceed
these quotas for two reasons. Firstly because it is only checked every
<code>--vfs-cache-poll-interval</code>. Secondly because open files
cannot be evicted from the cache. When <code>--vfs-cache-max-size</code>
or <code>--vfs-cache-min-free-size</code> is exceeded, rclone will
attempt to evict the least accessed files from the cache first. rclone
will start with files that haven't been accessed for the longest. This
cache flushing strategy is efficient and more relevant files are likely
to remain cached.</p>
<p>The <code>--vfs-cache-max-age</code> will evict files from the cache
after the set time since last access has passed. The default value of 1
hour will start evicting files from cache that haven't been accessed for
1 hour. When a cached file is accessed the 1 hour timer is reset to 0
and will wait for 1 more hour before evicting. Specify the time with
standard notation, s, m, h, d, w .</p>
<p>You <strong>should not</strong> run two copies of rclone using the
same VFS cache with the same or overlapping remotes if using
<code>--vfs-cache-mode &gt; off</code>. This can potentially cause data
corruption if you do. You can work around this by giving each rclone its
own cache hierarchy with <code>--cache-dir</code>. You don't need to
worry about this if the remotes in use don't overlap.</p>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-off-2">--vfs-cache-mode off</h3>
<p>In this mode (the default) the cache will read directly from the
remote and write directly to the remote without caching anything on
disk.</p>
<p>This will mean some operations are not possible</p>
<ul>
<li>Files can't be opened for both read AND write</li>
<li>Files opened for write can't be seeked</li>
<li>Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set</li>
<li>Files open for read with O_TRUNC will be opened write only</li>
<li>Files open for write only will behave as if O_TRUNC was
supplied</li>
<li>Open modes O_APPEND, O_TRUNC are ignored</li>
<li>If an upload fails it can't be retried</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-minimal-2">--vfs-cache-mode minimal</h3>
<p>This is very similar to "off" except that files opened for read AND
write will be buffered to disk. This means that files opened for write
will be a lot more compatible, but uses the minimal disk space.</p>
<p>These operations are not possible</p>
<ul>
<li>Files opened for write only can't be seeked</li>
<li>Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set</li>
<li>Files opened for write only will ignore O_APPEND, O_TRUNC</li>
<li>If an upload fails it can't be retried</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-writes-2">--vfs-cache-mode writes</h3>
<p>In this mode files opened for read only are still read directly from
the remote, write only and read/write files are buffered to disk
first.</p>
<p>This mode should support all normal file system operations.</p>
<p>If an upload fails it will be retried at exponentially increasing
intervals up to 1 minute.</p>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-full-2">--vfs-cache-mode full</h3>
<p>In this mode all reads and writes are buffered to and from disk. When
data is read from the remote this is buffered to disk as well.</p>
<p>In this mode the files in the cache will be sparse files and rclone
will keep track of which bits of the files it has downloaded.</p>
<p>So if an application only reads the starts of each file, then rclone
will only buffer the start of the file. These files will appear to be
their full size in the cache, but they will be sparse files with only
the data that has been downloaded present in them.</p>
<p>This mode should support all normal file system operations and is
otherwise identical to <code>--vfs-cache-mode</code> writes.</p>
<p>When reading a file rclone will read <code>--buffer-size</code> plus
<code>--vfs-read-ahead</code> bytes ahead. The
<code>--buffer-size</code> is buffered in memory whereas the
<code>--vfs-read-ahead</code> is buffered on disk.</p>
<p>When using this mode it is recommended that
<code>--buffer-size</code> is not set too large and
<code>--vfs-read-ahead</code> is set large if required.</p>
<p><strong>IMPORTANT</strong> not all file systems support sparse files.
In particular FAT/exFAT do not. Rclone will perform very badly if the
cache directory is on a filesystem which doesn't support sparse files
and it will log an ERROR message if one is detected.</p>
<h3 id="fingerprinting-2">Fingerprinting</h3>
<p>Various parts of the VFS use fingerprinting to see if a local file
copy has changed relative to a remote file. Fingerprints are made
from:</p>
<ul>
<li>size</li>
<li>modification time</li>
<li>hash</li>
</ul>
<p>where available on an object.</p>
<p>On some backends some of these attributes are slow to read (they take
an extra API call per object, or extra work per object).</p>
<p>For example <code>hash</code> is slow with the <code>local</code> and
<code>sftp</code> backends as they have to read the entire file and hash
it, and <code>modtime</code> is slow with the <code>s3</code>,
<code>swift</code>, <code>ftp</code> and <code>qinqstor</code> backends
because they need to do an extra API call to fetch it.</p>
<p>If you use the <code>--vfs-fast-fingerprint</code> flag then rclone
will not include the slow operations in the fingerprint. This makes the
fingerprinting less accurate but much faster and will improve the
opening time of cached files.</p>
<p>If you are running a vfs cache over <code>local</code>,
<code>s3</code> or <code>swift</code> backends then using this flag is
recommended.</p>
<p>Note that if you change the value of this flag, the fingerprints of
the files in the cache may be invalidated and the files will need to be
downloaded again.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-chunked-reading-2">VFS Chunked Reading</h2>
<p>When rclone reads files from a remote it reads them in chunks. This
means that rather than requesting the whole file rclone reads the chunk
specified. This can reduce the used download quota for some remotes by
requesting only chunks from the remote that are actually read, at the
cost of an increased number of requests.</p>
<p>These flags control the chunking:</p>
<pre><code>--vfs-read-chunk-size SizeSuffix Read the source objects in chunks (default 128M)
--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit SizeSuffix Max chunk doubling size (default off)
--vfs-read-chunk-streams int The number of parallel streams to read at once</code></pre>
<p>The chunking behaves differently depending on the
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> parameter.</p>
<h3
id="vfs-read-chunk-streams-0-4"><code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> ==
0</h3>
<p>Rclone will start reading a chunk of size
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code>, and then double the size for each
read. When <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit</code> is specified, and
greater than <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code>, the chunk size for each
open file will get doubled only until the specified value is reached. If
the value is "off", which is the default, the limit is disabled and the
chunk size will grow indefinitely.</p>
<p>With <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size 100M</code> and
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 0</code> the following parts will be
downloaded: 0-100M, 100M-200M, 200M-300M, 300M-400M and so on. When
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 500M</code> is specified, the result
would be 0-100M, 100M-300M, 300M-700M, 700M-1200M, 1200M-1700M and so
on.</p>
<p>Setting <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code> to <code>0</code> or "off"
disables chunked reading.</p>
<p>The chunks will not be buffered in memory.</p>
<h3
id="vfs-read-chunk-streams-0-5"><code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code>
&gt; 0</h3>
<p>Rclone reads <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> chunks of size
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code> concurrently. The size for each read
will stay constant.</p>
<p>This improves performance performance massively on high latency links
or very high bandwidth links to high performance object stores.</p>
<p>Some experimentation will be needed to find the optimum values of
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code> and
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> as these will depend on the
backend in use and the latency to the backend.</p>
<p>For high performance object stores (eg AWS S3) a reasonable place to
start might be <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams 16</code> and
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size 4M</code>. In testing with AWS S3 the
performance scaled roughly as the <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code>
setting.</p>
<p>Similar settings should work for high latency links, but depending on
the latency they may need more <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> in
order to get the throughput.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-performance-2">VFS Performance</h2>
<p>These flags may be used to enable/disable features of the VFS for
performance or other reasons. See also the <a
href="#vfs-chunked-reading">chunked reading</a> feature.</p>
<p>In particular S3 and Swift benefit hugely from the
<code>--no-modtime</code> flag (or use <code>--use-server-modtime</code>
for a slightly different effect) as each read of the modification time
takes a transaction.</p>
<pre><code>--no-checksum Don&#39;t compare checksums on up/download.
--no-modtime Don&#39;t read/write the modification time (can speed things up).
--no-seek Don&#39;t allow seeking in files.
--read-only Only allow read-only access.</code></pre>
<p>Sometimes rclone is delivered reads or writes out of order. Rather
than seeking rclone will wait a short time for the in sequence read or
write to come in. These flags only come into effect when not using an on
disk cache file.</p>
<pre><code>--vfs-read-wait duration Time to wait for in-sequence read before seeking (default 20ms)
--vfs-write-wait duration Time to wait for in-sequence write before giving error (default 1s)</code></pre>
<p>When using VFS write caching (<code>--vfs-cache-mode</code> with
value writes or full), the global flag <code>--transfers</code> can be
set to adjust the number of parallel uploads of modified files from the
cache (the related global flag <code>--checkers</code> has no effect on
the VFS).</p>
<pre><code>--transfers int Number of file transfers to run in parallel (default 4)</code></pre>
<h2 id="vfs-case-sensitivity-2">VFS Case Sensitivity</h2>
<p>Linux file systems are case-sensitive: two files can differ only by
case, and the exact case must be used when opening a file.</p>
<p>File systems in modern Windows are case-insensitive but
case-preserving: although existing files can be opened using any case,
the exact case used to create the file is preserved and available for
programs to query. It is not allowed for two files in the same directory
to differ only by case.</p>
<p>Usually file systems on macOS are case-insensitive. It is possible to
make macOS file systems case-sensitive but that is not the default.</p>
<p>The <code>--vfs-case-insensitive</code> VFS flag controls how rclone
handles these two cases. If its value is "false", rclone passes file
names to the remote as-is. If the flag is "true" (or appears without a
value on the command line), rclone may perform a "fixup" as explained
below.</p>
<p>The user may specify a file name to open/delete/rename/etc with a
case different than what is stored on the remote. If an argument refers
to an existing file with exactly the same name, then the case of the
existing file on the disk will be used. However, if a file name with
exactly the same name is not found but a name differing only by case
exists, rclone will transparently fixup the name. This fixup happens
only when an existing file is requested. Case sensitivity of file names
created anew by rclone is controlled by the underlying remote.</p>
<p>Note that case sensitivity of the operating system running rclone
(the target) may differ from case sensitivity of a file system presented
by rclone (the source). The flag controls whether "fixup" is performed
to satisfy the target.</p>
<p>If the flag is not provided on the command line, then its default
value depends on the operating system where rclone runs: "true" on
Windows and macOS, "false" otherwise. If the flag is provided without a
value, then it is "true".</p>
<p>The <code>--no-unicode-normalization</code> flag controls whether a
similar "fixup" is performed for filenames that differ but are <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_equivalence">canonically
equivalent</a> with respect to unicode. Unicode normalization can be
particularly helpful for users of macOS, which prefers form NFD instead
of the NFC used by most other platforms. It is therefore highly
recommended to keep the default of <code>false</code> on macOS, to avoid
encoding compatibility issues.</p>
<p>In the (probably unlikely) event that a directory has multiple
duplicate filenames after applying case and unicode normalization, the
<code>--vfs-block-norm-dupes</code> flag allows hiding these duplicates.
This comes with a performance tradeoff, as rclone will have to scan the
entire directory for duplicates when listing a directory. For this
reason, it is recommended to leave this disabled if not needed. However,
macOS users may wish to consider using it, as otherwise, if a remote
directory contains both NFC and NFD versions of the same filename, an
odd situation will occur: both versions of the file will be visible in
the mount, and both will appear to be editable, however, editing either
version will actually result in only the NFD version getting edited
under the hood. <code>--vfs-block- norm-dupes</code> prevents this
confusion by detecting this scenario, hiding the duplicates, and logging
an error, similar to how this is handled in
<code>rclone sync</code>.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-disk-options-2">VFS Disk Options</h2>
<p>This flag allows you to manually set the statistics about the filing
system. It can be useful when those statistics cannot be read correctly
automatically.</p>
<pre><code>--vfs-disk-space-total-size Manually set the total disk space size (example: 256G, default: -1)</code></pre>
<h2 id="alternate-report-of-used-bytes-2">Alternate report of used
bytes</h2>
<p>Some backends, most notably S3, do not report the amount of bytes
used. If you need this information to be available when running
<code>df</code> on the filesystem, then pass the flag
<code>--vfs-used-is-size</code> to rclone. With this flag set, instead
of relying on the backend to report this information, rclone will scan
the whole remote similar to <code>rclone size</code> and compute the
total used space itself.</p>
<p><em>WARNING.</em> Contrary to <code>rclone size</code>, this flag
ignores filters so that the result is accurate. However, this is very
inefficient and may cost lots of API calls resulting in extra charges.
Use it as a last resort and only with caching.</p>

<h1 id="rclone-serve-docker">rclone serve docker</h1>
<p>Serve any remote on docker's volume plugin API.</p>
<h2 id="synopsis-64">Synopsis</h2>
<p>This command implements the Docker volume plugin API allowing docker
to use rclone as a data storage mechanism for various cloud providers.
rclone provides <a href="/docker">docker volume plugin</a> based on
it.</p>
<p>To create a docker plugin, one must create a Unix or TCP socket that
Docker will look for when you use the plugin and then it listens for
commands from docker daemon and runs the corresponding code when
necessary. Docker plugins can run as a managed plugin under control of
the docker daemon or as an independent native service. For testing, you
can just run it directly from the command line, for example:</p>
<pre><code>sudo rclone serve docker --base-dir /tmp/rclone-volumes --socket-addr localhost:8787 -vv</code></pre>
<p>Running <code>rclone serve docker</code> will create the said socket,
listening for commands from Docker to create the necessary Volumes.
Normally you need not give the <code>--socket-addr</code> flag. The API
will listen on the unix domain socket at
<code>/run/docker/plugins/rclone.sock</code>. In the example above
rclone will create a TCP socket and a small file
<code>/etc/docker/plugins/rclone.spec</code> containing the socket
address. We use <code>sudo</code> because both paths are writeable only
by the root user.</p>
<p>If you later decide to change listening socket, the docker daemon
must be restarted to reconnect to
<code>/run/docker/plugins/rclone.sock</code> or parse new
<code>/etc/docker/plugins/rclone.spec</code>. Until you restart, any
volume related docker commands will timeout trying to access the old
socket. Running directly is supported on <strong>Linux only</strong>,
not on Windows or MacOS. This is not a problem with managed plugin mode
described in details in the <a href="https://rclone.org/docker">full
documentation</a>.</p>
<p>The command will create volume mounts under the path given by
<code>--base-dir</code> (by default
<code>/var/lib/docker-volumes/rclone</code> available only to root) and
maintain the JSON formatted file <code>docker-plugin.state</code> in the
rclone cache directory with book-keeping records of created and mounted
volumes.</p>
<p>All mount and VFS options are submitted by the docker daemon via API,
but you can also provide defaults on the command line as well as set
path to the config file and cache directory or adjust logging
verbosity.</p>
<h2 id="vfs---virtual-file-system-3">VFS - Virtual File System</h2>
<p>This command uses the VFS layer. This adapts the cloud storage
objects that rclone uses into something which looks much more like a
disk filing system.</p>
<p>Cloud storage objects have lots of properties which aren't like disk
files - you can't extend them or write to the middle of them, so the VFS
layer has to deal with that. Because there is no one right way of doing
this there are various options explained below.</p>
<p>The VFS layer also implements a directory cache - this caches info
about files and directories (but not the data) in memory.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-directory-cache-3">VFS Directory Cache</h2>
<p>Using the <code>--dir-cache-time</code> flag, you can control how
long a directory should be considered up to date and not refreshed from
the backend. Changes made through the VFS will appear immediately or
invalidate the cache.</p>
<pre><code>--dir-cache-time duration Time to cache directory entries for (default 5m0s)
--poll-interval duration Time to wait between polling for changes. Must be smaller than dir-cache-time. Only on supported remotes. Set to 0 to disable (default 1m0s)</code></pre>
<p>However, changes made directly on the cloud storage by the web
interface or a different copy of rclone will only be picked up once the
directory cache expires if the backend configured does not support
polling for changes. If the backend supports polling, changes will be
picked up within the polling interval.</p>
<p>You can send a <code>SIGHUP</code> signal to rclone for it to flush
all directory caches, regardless of how old they are. Assuming only one
rclone instance is running, you can reset the cache like this:</p>
<pre><code>kill -SIGHUP $(pidof rclone)</code></pre>
<p>If you configure rclone with a <a href="/rc">remote control</a> then
you can use rclone rc to flush the whole directory cache:</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/forget</code></pre>
<p>Or individual files or directories:</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/forget file=path/to/file dir=path/to/dir</code></pre>
<h2 id="vfs-file-buffering-3">VFS File Buffering</h2>
<p>The <code>--buffer-size</code> flag determines the amount of memory,
that will be used to buffer data in advance.</p>
<p>Each open file will try to keep the specified amount of data in
memory at all times. The buffered data is bound to one open file and
won't be shared.</p>
<p>This flag is a upper limit for the used memory per open file. The
buffer will only use memory for data that is downloaded but not not yet
read. If the buffer is empty, only a small amount of memory will be
used.</p>
<p>The maximum memory used by rclone for buffering can be up to
<code>--buffer-size * open files</code>.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-file-caching-3">VFS File Caching</h2>
<p>These flags control the VFS file caching options. File caching is
necessary to make the VFS layer appear compatible with a normal file
system. It can be disabled at the cost of some compatibility.</p>
<p>For example you'll need to enable VFS caching if you want to read and
write simultaneously to a file. See below for more details.</p>
<p>Note that the VFS cache is separate from the cache backend and you
may find that you need one or the other or both.</p>
<pre><code>--cache-dir string Directory rclone will use for caching.
--vfs-cache-mode CacheMode Cache mode off|minimal|writes|full (default off)
--vfs-cache-max-age duration Max time since last access of objects in the cache (default 1h0m0s)
--vfs-cache-max-size SizeSuffix Max total size of objects in the cache (default off)
--vfs-cache-min-free-space SizeSuffix Target minimum free space on the disk containing the cache (default off)
--vfs-cache-poll-interval duration Interval to poll the cache for stale objects (default 1m0s)
--vfs-write-back duration Time to writeback files after last use when using cache (default 5s)</code></pre>
<p>If run with <code>-vv</code> rclone will print the location of the
file cache. The files are stored in the user cache file area which is OS
dependent but can be controlled with <code>--cache-dir</code> or setting
the appropriate environment variable.</p>
<p>The cache has 4 different modes selected by
<code>--vfs-cache-mode</code>. The higher the cache mode the more
compatible rclone becomes at the cost of using disk space.</p>
<p>Note that files are written back to the remote only when they are
closed and if they haven't been accessed for
<code>--vfs-write-back</code> seconds. If rclone is quit or dies with
files that haven't been uploaded, these will be uploaded next time
rclone is run with the same flags.</p>
<p>If using <code>--vfs-cache-max-size</code> or
<code>--vfs-cache-min-free-size</code> note that the cache may exceed
these quotas for two reasons. Firstly because it is only checked every
<code>--vfs-cache-poll-interval</code>. Secondly because open files
cannot be evicted from the cache. When <code>--vfs-cache-max-size</code>
or <code>--vfs-cache-min-free-size</code> is exceeded, rclone will
attempt to evict the least accessed files from the cache first. rclone
will start with files that haven't been accessed for the longest. This
cache flushing strategy is efficient and more relevant files are likely
to remain cached.</p>
<p>The <code>--vfs-cache-max-age</code> will evict files from the cache
after the set time since last access has passed. The default value of 1
hour will start evicting files from cache that haven't been accessed for
1 hour. When a cached file is accessed the 1 hour timer is reset to 0
and will wait for 1 more hour before evicting. Specify the time with
standard notation, s, m, h, d, w .</p>
<p>You <strong>should not</strong> run two copies of rclone using the
same VFS cache with the same or overlapping remotes if using
<code>--vfs-cache-mode &gt; off</code>. This can potentially cause data
corruption if you do. You can work around this by giving each rclone its
own cache hierarchy with <code>--cache-dir</code>. You don't need to
worry about this if the remotes in use don't overlap.</p>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-off-3">--vfs-cache-mode off</h3>
<p>In this mode (the default) the cache will read directly from the
remote and write directly to the remote without caching anything on
disk.</p>
<p>This will mean some operations are not possible</p>
<ul>
<li>Files can't be opened for both read AND write</li>
<li>Files opened for write can't be seeked</li>
<li>Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set</li>
<li>Files open for read with O_TRUNC will be opened write only</li>
<li>Files open for write only will behave as if O_TRUNC was
supplied</li>
<li>Open modes O_APPEND, O_TRUNC are ignored</li>
<li>If an upload fails it can't be retried</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-minimal-3">--vfs-cache-mode minimal</h3>
<p>This is very similar to "off" except that files opened for read AND
write will be buffered to disk. This means that files opened for write
will be a lot more compatible, but uses the minimal disk space.</p>
<p>These operations are not possible</p>
<ul>
<li>Files opened for write only can't be seeked</li>
<li>Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set</li>
<li>Files opened for write only will ignore O_APPEND, O_TRUNC</li>
<li>If an upload fails it can't be retried</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-writes-3">--vfs-cache-mode writes</h3>
<p>In this mode files opened for read only are still read directly from
the remote, write only and read/write files are buffered to disk
first.</p>
<p>This mode should support all normal file system operations.</p>
<p>If an upload fails it will be retried at exponentially increasing
intervals up to 1 minute.</p>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-full-3">--vfs-cache-mode full</h3>
<p>In this mode all reads and writes are buffered to and from disk. When
data is read from the remote this is buffered to disk as well.</p>
<p>In this mode the files in the cache will be sparse files and rclone
will keep track of which bits of the files it has downloaded.</p>
<p>So if an application only reads the starts of each file, then rclone
will only buffer the start of the file. These files will appear to be
their full size in the cache, but they will be sparse files with only
the data that has been downloaded present in them.</p>
<p>This mode should support all normal file system operations and is
otherwise identical to <code>--vfs-cache-mode</code> writes.</p>
<p>When reading a file rclone will read <code>--buffer-size</code> plus
<code>--vfs-read-ahead</code> bytes ahead. The
<code>--buffer-size</code> is buffered in memory whereas the
<code>--vfs-read-ahead</code> is buffered on disk.</p>
<p>When using this mode it is recommended that
<code>--buffer-size</code> is not set too large and
<code>--vfs-read-ahead</code> is set large if required.</p>
<p><strong>IMPORTANT</strong> not all file systems support sparse files.
In particular FAT/exFAT do not. Rclone will perform very badly if the
cache directory is on a filesystem which doesn't support sparse files
and it will log an ERROR message if one is detected.</p>
<h3 id="fingerprinting-3">Fingerprinting</h3>
<p>Various parts of the VFS use fingerprinting to see if a local file
copy has changed relative to a remote file. Fingerprints are made
from:</p>
<ul>
<li>size</li>
<li>modification time</li>
<li>hash</li>
</ul>
<p>where available on an object.</p>
<p>On some backends some of these attributes are slow to read (they take
an extra API call per object, or extra work per object).</p>
<p>For example <code>hash</code> is slow with the <code>local</code> and
<code>sftp</code> backends as they have to read the entire file and hash
it, and <code>modtime</code> is slow with the <code>s3</code>,
<code>swift</code>, <code>ftp</code> and <code>qinqstor</code> backends
because they need to do an extra API call to fetch it.</p>
<p>If you use the <code>--vfs-fast-fingerprint</code> flag then rclone
will not include the slow operations in the fingerprint. This makes the
fingerprinting less accurate but much faster and will improve the
opening time of cached files.</p>
<p>If you are running a vfs cache over <code>local</code>,
<code>s3</code> or <code>swift</code> backends then using this flag is
recommended.</p>
<p>Note that if you change the value of this flag, the fingerprints of
the files in the cache may be invalidated and the files will need to be
downloaded again.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-chunked-reading-3">VFS Chunked Reading</h2>
<p>When rclone reads files from a remote it reads them in chunks. This
means that rather than requesting the whole file rclone reads the chunk
specified. This can reduce the used download quota for some remotes by
requesting only chunks from the remote that are actually read, at the
cost of an increased number of requests.</p>
<p>These flags control the chunking:</p>
<pre><code>--vfs-read-chunk-size SizeSuffix Read the source objects in chunks (default 128M)
--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit SizeSuffix Max chunk doubling size (default off)
--vfs-read-chunk-streams int The number of parallel streams to read at once</code></pre>
<p>The chunking behaves differently depending on the
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> parameter.</p>
<h3
id="vfs-read-chunk-streams-0-6"><code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> ==
0</h3>
<p>Rclone will start reading a chunk of size
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code>, and then double the size for each
read. When <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit</code> is specified, and
greater than <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code>, the chunk size for each
open file will get doubled only until the specified value is reached. If
the value is "off", which is the default, the limit is disabled and the
chunk size will grow indefinitely.</p>
<p>With <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size 100M</code> and
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 0</code> the following parts will be
downloaded: 0-100M, 100M-200M, 200M-300M, 300M-400M and so on. When
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 500M</code> is specified, the result
would be 0-100M, 100M-300M, 300M-700M, 700M-1200M, 1200M-1700M and so
on.</p>
<p>Setting <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code> to <code>0</code> or "off"
disables chunked reading.</p>
<p>The chunks will not be buffered in memory.</p>
<h3
id="vfs-read-chunk-streams-0-7"><code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code>
&gt; 0</h3>
<p>Rclone reads <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> chunks of size
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code> concurrently. The size for each read
will stay constant.</p>
<p>This improves performance performance massively on high latency links
or very high bandwidth links to high performance object stores.</p>
<p>Some experimentation will be needed to find the optimum values of
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code> and
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> as these will depend on the
backend in use and the latency to the backend.</p>
<p>For high performance object stores (eg AWS S3) a reasonable place to
start might be <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams 16</code> and
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size 4M</code>. In testing with AWS S3 the
performance scaled roughly as the <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code>
setting.</p>
<p>Similar settings should work for high latency links, but depending on
the latency they may need more <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> in
order to get the throughput.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-performance-3">VFS Performance</h2>
<p>These flags may be used to enable/disable features of the VFS for
performance or other reasons. See also the <a
href="#vfs-chunked-reading">chunked reading</a> feature.</p>
<p>In particular S3 and Swift benefit hugely from the
<code>--no-modtime</code> flag (or use <code>--use-server-modtime</code>
for a slightly different effect) as each read of the modification time
takes a transaction.</p>
<pre><code>--no-checksum Don&#39;t compare checksums on up/download.
--no-modtime Don&#39;t read/write the modification time (can speed things up).
--no-seek Don&#39;t allow seeking in files.
--read-only Only allow read-only access.</code></pre>
<p>Sometimes rclone is delivered reads or writes out of order. Rather
than seeking rclone will wait a short time for the in sequence read or
write to come in. These flags only come into effect when not using an on
disk cache file.</p>
<pre><code>--vfs-read-wait duration Time to wait for in-sequence read before seeking (default 20ms)
--vfs-write-wait duration Time to wait for in-sequence write before giving error (default 1s)</code></pre>
<p>When using VFS write caching (<code>--vfs-cache-mode</code> with
value writes or full), the global flag <code>--transfers</code> can be
set to adjust the number of parallel uploads of modified files from the
cache (the related global flag <code>--checkers</code> has no effect on
the VFS).</p>
<pre><code>--transfers int Number of file transfers to run in parallel (default 4)</code></pre>
<h2 id="vfs-case-sensitivity-3">VFS Case Sensitivity</h2>
<p>Linux file systems are case-sensitive: two files can differ only by
case, and the exact case must be used when opening a file.</p>
<p>File systems in modern Windows are case-insensitive but
case-preserving: although existing files can be opened using any case,
the exact case used to create the file is preserved and available for
programs to query. It is not allowed for two files in the same directory
to differ only by case.</p>
<p>Usually file systems on macOS are case-insensitive. It is possible to
make macOS file systems case-sensitive but that is not the default.</p>
<p>The <code>--vfs-case-insensitive</code> VFS flag controls how rclone
handles these two cases. If its value is "false", rclone passes file
names to the remote as-is. If the flag is "true" (or appears without a
value on the command line), rclone may perform a "fixup" as explained
below.</p>
<p>The user may specify a file name to open/delete/rename/etc with a
case different than what is stored on the remote. If an argument refers
to an existing file with exactly the same name, then the case of the
existing file on the disk will be used. However, if a file name with
exactly the same name is not found but a name differing only by case
exists, rclone will transparently fixup the name. This fixup happens
only when an existing file is requested. Case sensitivity of file names
created anew by rclone is controlled by the underlying remote.</p>
<p>Note that case sensitivity of the operating system running rclone
(the target) may differ from case sensitivity of a file system presented
by rclone (the source). The flag controls whether "fixup" is performed
to satisfy the target.</p>
<p>If the flag is not provided on the command line, then its default
value depends on the operating system where rclone runs: "true" on
Windows and macOS, "false" otherwise. If the flag is provided without a
value, then it is "true".</p>
<p>The <code>--no-unicode-normalization</code> flag controls whether a
similar "fixup" is performed for filenames that differ but are <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_equivalence">canonically
equivalent</a> with respect to unicode. Unicode normalization can be
particularly helpful for users of macOS, which prefers form NFD instead
of the NFC used by most other platforms. It is therefore highly
recommended to keep the default of <code>false</code> on macOS, to avoid
encoding compatibility issues.</p>
<p>In the (probably unlikely) event that a directory has multiple
duplicate filenames after applying case and unicode normalization, the
<code>--vfs-block-norm-dupes</code> flag allows hiding these duplicates.
This comes with a performance tradeoff, as rclone will have to scan the
entire directory for duplicates when listing a directory. For this
reason, it is recommended to leave this disabled if not needed. However,
macOS users may wish to consider using it, as otherwise, if a remote
directory contains both NFC and NFD versions of the same filename, an
odd situation will occur: both versions of the file will be visible in
the mount, and both will appear to be editable, however, editing either
version will actually result in only the NFD version getting edited
under the hood. <code>--vfs-block- norm-dupes</code> prevents this
confusion by detecting this scenario, hiding the duplicates, and logging
an error, similar to how this is handled in
<code>rclone sync</code>.</p>

<h2 id="vfs---virtual-file-system-4">VFS - Virtual File System</h2>
<p>This command uses the VFS layer. This adapts the cloud storage
objects that rclone uses into something which looks much more like a
disk filing system.</p>
<p>Cloud storage objects have lots of properties which aren't like disk
files - you can't extend them or write to the middle of them, so the VFS
layer has to deal with that. Because there is no one right way of doing
this there are various options explained below.</p>
<p>The VFS layer also implements a directory cache - this caches info
about files and directories (but not the data) in memory.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-directory-cache-4">VFS Directory Cache</h2>
<p>Using the <code>--dir-cache-time</code> flag, you can control how
long a directory should be considered up to date and not refreshed from
the backend. Changes made through the VFS will appear immediately or
invalidate the cache.</p>
<pre><code>--dir-cache-time duration Time to cache directory entries for (default 5m0s)
--poll-interval duration Time to wait between polling for changes. Must be smaller than dir-cache-time. Only on supported remotes. Set to 0 to disable (default 1m0s)</code></pre>
<p>However, changes made directly on the cloud storage by the web
interface or a different copy of rclone will only be picked up once the
directory cache expires if the backend configured does not support
polling for changes. If the backend supports polling, changes will be
picked up within the polling interval.</p>
<p>You can send a <code>SIGHUP</code> signal to rclone for it to flush
all directory caches, regardless of how old they are. Assuming only one
rclone instance is running, you can reset the cache like this:</p>
<pre><code>kill -SIGHUP $(pidof rclone)</code></pre>
<p>If you configure rclone with a <a href="/rc">remote control</a> then
you can use rclone rc to flush the whole directory cache:</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/forget</code></pre>
<p>Or individual files or directories:</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/forget file=path/to/file dir=path/to/dir</code></pre>
<h2 id="vfs-file-buffering-4">VFS File Buffering</h2>
<p>The <code>--buffer-size</code> flag determines the amount of memory,
that will be used to buffer data in advance.</p>
<p>Each open file will try to keep the specified amount of data in
memory at all times. The buffered data is bound to one open file and
won't be shared.</p>
<p>This flag is a upper limit for the used memory per open file. The
buffer will only use memory for data that is downloaded but not not yet
read. If the buffer is empty, only a small amount of memory will be
used.</p>
<p>The maximum memory used by rclone for buffering can be up to
<code>--buffer-size * open files</code>.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-file-caching-4">VFS File Caching</h2>
<p>These flags control the VFS file caching options. File caching is
necessary to make the VFS layer appear compatible with a normal file
system. It can be disabled at the cost of some compatibility.</p>
<p>For example you'll need to enable VFS caching if you want to read and
write simultaneously to a file. See below for more details.</p>
<p>Note that the VFS cache is separate from the cache backend and you
may find that you need one or the other or both.</p>
<pre><code>--cache-dir string Directory rclone will use for caching.
--vfs-cache-mode CacheMode Cache mode off|minimal|writes|full (default off)
--vfs-cache-max-age duration Max time since last access of objects in the cache (default 1h0m0s)
--vfs-cache-max-size SizeSuffix Max total size of objects in the cache (default off)
--vfs-cache-min-free-space SizeSuffix Target minimum free space on the disk containing the cache (default off)
--vfs-cache-poll-interval duration Interval to poll the cache for stale objects (default 1m0s)
--vfs-write-back duration Time to writeback files after last use when using cache (default 5s)</code></pre>
<p>If run with <code>-vv</code> rclone will print the location of the
file cache. The files are stored in the user cache file area which is OS
dependent but can be controlled with <code>--cache-dir</code> or setting
the appropriate environment variable.</p>
<p>The cache has 4 different modes selected by
<code>--vfs-cache-mode</code>. The higher the cache mode the more
compatible rclone becomes at the cost of using disk space.</p>
<p>Note that files are written back to the remote only when they are
closed and if they haven't been accessed for
<code>--vfs-write-back</code> seconds. If rclone is quit or dies with
files that haven't been uploaded, these will be uploaded next time
rclone is run with the same flags.</p>
<p>If using <code>--vfs-cache-max-size</code> or
<code>--vfs-cache-min-free-size</code> note that the cache may exceed
these quotas for two reasons. Firstly because it is only checked every
<code>--vfs-cache-poll-interval</code>. Secondly because open files
cannot be evicted from the cache. When <code>--vfs-cache-max-size</code>
or <code>--vfs-cache-min-free-size</code> is exceeded, rclone will
attempt to evict the least accessed files from the cache first. rclone
will start with files that haven't been accessed for the longest. This
cache flushing strategy is efficient and more relevant files are likely
to remain cached.</p>
<p>The <code>--vfs-cache-max-age</code> will evict files from the cache
after the set time since last access has passed. The default value of 1
hour will start evicting files from cache that haven't been accessed for
1 hour. When a cached file is accessed the 1 hour timer is reset to 0
and will wait for 1 more hour before evicting. Specify the time with
standard notation, s, m, h, d, w .</p>
<p>You <strong>should not</strong> run two copies of rclone using the
same VFS cache with the same or overlapping remotes if using
<code>--vfs-cache-mode &gt; off</code>. This can potentially cause data
corruption if you do. You can work around this by giving each rclone its
own cache hierarchy with <code>--cache-dir</code>. You don't need to
worry about this if the remotes in use don't overlap.</p>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-off-4">--vfs-cache-mode off</h3>
<p>In this mode (the default) the cache will read directly from the
remote and write directly to the remote without caching anything on
disk.</p>
<p>This will mean some operations are not possible</p>
<ul>
<li>Files can't be opened for both read AND write</li>
<li>Files opened for write can't be seeked</li>
<li>Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set</li>
<li>Files open for read with O_TRUNC will be opened write only</li>
<li>Files open for write only will behave as if O_TRUNC was
supplied</li>
<li>Open modes O_APPEND, O_TRUNC are ignored</li>
<li>If an upload fails it can't be retried</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-minimal-4">--vfs-cache-mode minimal</h3>
<p>This is very similar to "off" except that files opened for read AND
write will be buffered to disk. This means that files opened for write
will be a lot more compatible, but uses the minimal disk space.</p>
<p>These operations are not possible</p>
<ul>
<li>Files opened for write only can't be seeked</li>
<li>Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set</li>
<li>Files opened for write only will ignore O_APPEND, O_TRUNC</li>
<li>If an upload fails it can't be retried</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-writes-4">--vfs-cache-mode writes</h3>
<p>In this mode files opened for read only are still read directly from
the remote, write only and read/write files are buffered to disk
first.</p>
<p>This mode should support all normal file system operations.</p>
<p>If an upload fails it will be retried at exponentially increasing
intervals up to 1 minute.</p>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-full-4">--vfs-cache-mode full</h3>
<p>In this mode all reads and writes are buffered to and from disk. When
data is read from the remote this is buffered to disk as well.</p>
<p>In this mode the files in the cache will be sparse files and rclone
will keep track of which bits of the files it has downloaded.</p>
<p>So if an application only reads the starts of each file, then rclone
will only buffer the start of the file. These files will appear to be
their full size in the cache, but they will be sparse files with only
the data that has been downloaded present in them.</p>
<p>This mode should support all normal file system operations and is
otherwise identical to <code>--vfs-cache-mode</code> writes.</p>
<p>When reading a file rclone will read <code>--buffer-size</code> plus
<code>--vfs-read-ahead</code> bytes ahead. The
<code>--buffer-size</code> is buffered in memory whereas the
<code>--vfs-read-ahead</code> is buffered on disk.</p>
<p>When using this mode it is recommended that
<code>--buffer-size</code> is not set too large and
<code>--vfs-read-ahead</code> is set large if required.</p>
<p><strong>IMPORTANT</strong> not all file systems support sparse files.
In particular FAT/exFAT do not. Rclone will perform very badly if the
cache directory is on a filesystem which doesn't support sparse files
and it will log an ERROR message if one is detected.</p>
<h3 id="fingerprinting-4">Fingerprinting</h3>
<p>Various parts of the VFS use fingerprinting to see if a local file
copy has changed relative to a remote file. Fingerprints are made
from:</p>
<ul>
<li>size</li>
<li>modification time</li>
<li>hash</li>
</ul>
<p>where available on an object.</p>
<p>On some backends some of these attributes are slow to read (they take
an extra API call per object, or extra work per object).</p>
<p>For example <code>hash</code> is slow with the <code>local</code> and
<code>sftp</code> backends as they have to read the entire file and hash
it, and <code>modtime</code> is slow with the <code>s3</code>,
<code>swift</code>, <code>ftp</code> and <code>qinqstor</code> backends
because they need to do an extra API call to fetch it.</p>
<p>If you use the <code>--vfs-fast-fingerprint</code> flag then rclone
will not include the slow operations in the fingerprint. This makes the
fingerprinting less accurate but much faster and will improve the
opening time of cached files.</p>
<p>If you are running a vfs cache over <code>local</code>,
<code>s3</code> or <code>swift</code> backends then using this flag is
recommended.</p>
<p>Note that if you change the value of this flag, the fingerprints of
the files in the cache may be invalidated and the files will need to be
downloaded again.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-chunked-reading-4">VFS Chunked Reading</h2>
<p>When rclone reads files from a remote it reads them in chunks. This
means that rather than requesting the whole file rclone reads the chunk
specified. This can reduce the used download quota for some remotes by
requesting only chunks from the remote that are actually read, at the
cost of an increased number of requests.</p>
<p>These flags control the chunking:</p>
<pre><code>--vfs-read-chunk-size SizeSuffix Read the source objects in chunks (default 128M)
--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit SizeSuffix Max chunk doubling size (default off)
--vfs-read-chunk-streams int The number of parallel streams to read at once</code></pre>
<p>The chunking behaves differently depending on the
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> parameter.</p>
<h3
id="vfs-read-chunk-streams-0-8"><code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> ==
0</h3>
<p>Rclone will start reading a chunk of size
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code>, and then double the size for each
read. When <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit</code> is specified, and
greater than <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code>, the chunk size for each
open file will get doubled only until the specified value is reached. If
the value is "off", which is the default, the limit is disabled and the
chunk size will grow indefinitely.</p>
<p>With <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size 100M</code> and
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 0</code> the following parts will be
downloaded: 0-100M, 100M-200M, 200M-300M, 300M-400M and so on. When
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 500M</code> is specified, the result
would be 0-100M, 100M-300M, 300M-700M, 700M-1200M, 1200M-1700M and so
on.</p>
<p>Setting <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code> to <code>0</code> or "off"
disables chunked reading.</p>
<p>The chunks will not be buffered in memory.</p>
<h3
id="vfs-read-chunk-streams-0-9"><code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code>
&gt; 0</h3>
<p>Rclone reads <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> chunks of size
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code> concurrently. The size for each read
will stay constant.</p>
<p>This improves performance performance massively on high latency links
or very high bandwidth links to high performance object stores.</p>
<p>Some experimentation will be needed to find the optimum values of
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code> and
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> as these will depend on the
backend in use and the latency to the backend.</p>
<p>For high performance object stores (eg AWS S3) a reasonable place to
start might be <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams 16</code> and
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size 4M</code>. In testing with AWS S3 the
performance scaled roughly as the <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code>
setting.</p>
<p>Similar settings should work for high latency links, but depending on
the latency they may need more <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> in
order to get the throughput.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-performance-4">VFS Performance</h2>
<p>These flags may be used to enable/disable features of the VFS for
performance or other reasons. See also the <a
href="#vfs-chunked-reading">chunked reading</a> feature.</p>
<p>In particular S3 and Swift benefit hugely from the
<code>--no-modtime</code> flag (or use <code>--use-server-modtime</code>
for a slightly different effect) as each read of the modification time
takes a transaction.</p>
<pre><code>--no-checksum Don&#39;t compare checksums on up/download.
--no-modtime Don&#39;t read/write the modification time (can speed things up).
--no-seek Don&#39;t allow seeking in files.
--read-only Only allow read-only access.</code></pre>
<p>Sometimes rclone is delivered reads or writes out of order. Rather
than seeking rclone will wait a short time for the in sequence read or
write to come in. These flags only come into effect when not using an on
disk cache file.</p>
<pre><code>--vfs-read-wait duration Time to wait for in-sequence read before seeking (default 20ms)
--vfs-write-wait duration Time to wait for in-sequence write before giving error (default 1s)</code></pre>
<p>When using VFS write caching (<code>--vfs-cache-mode</code> with
value writes or full), the global flag <code>--transfers</code> can be
set to adjust the number of parallel uploads of modified files from the
cache (the related global flag <code>--checkers</code> has no effect on
the VFS).</p>
<pre><code>--transfers int Number of file transfers to run in parallel (default 4)</code></pre>
<h2 id="vfs-case-sensitivity-4">VFS Case Sensitivity</h2>
<p>Linux file systems are case-sensitive: two files can differ only by
case, and the exact case must be used when opening a file.</p>
<p>File systems in modern Windows are case-insensitive but
case-preserving: although existing files can be opened using any case,
the exact case used to create the file is preserved and available for
programs to query. It is not allowed for two files in the same directory
to differ only by case.</p>
<p>Usually file systems on macOS are case-insensitive. It is possible to
make macOS file systems case-sensitive but that is not the default.</p>
<p>The <code>--vfs-case-insensitive</code> VFS flag controls how rclone
handles these two cases. If its value is "false", rclone passes file
names to the remote as-is. If the flag is "true" (or appears without a
value on the command line), rclone may perform a "fixup" as explained
below.</p>
<p>The user may specify a file name to open/delete/rename/etc with a
case different than what is stored on the remote. If an argument refers
to an existing file with exactly the same name, then the case of the
existing file on the disk will be used. However, if a file name with
exactly the same name is not found but a name differing only by case
exists, rclone will transparently fixup the name. This fixup happens
only when an existing file is requested. Case sensitivity of file names
created anew by rclone is controlled by the underlying remote.</p>
<p>Note that case sensitivity of the operating system running rclone
(the target) may differ from case sensitivity of a file system presented
by rclone (the source). The flag controls whether "fixup" is performed
to satisfy the target.</p>
<p>If the flag is not provided on the command line, then its default
value depends on the operating system where rclone runs: "true" on
Windows and macOS, "false" otherwise. If the flag is provided without a
value, then it is "true".</p>
<p>The <code>--no-unicode-normalization</code> flag controls whether a
similar "fixup" is performed for filenames that differ but are <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_equivalence">canonically
equivalent</a> with respect to unicode. Unicode normalization can be
particularly helpful for users of macOS, which prefers form NFD instead
of the NFC used by most other platforms. It is therefore highly
recommended to keep the default of <code>false</code> on macOS, to avoid
encoding compatibility issues.</p>
<p>In the (probably unlikely) event that a directory has multiple
duplicate filenames after applying case and unicode normalization, the
<code>--vfs-block-norm-dupes</code> flag allows hiding these duplicates.
This comes with a performance tradeoff, as rclone will have to scan the
entire directory for duplicates when listing a directory. For this
reason, it is recommended to leave this disabled if not needed. However,
macOS users may wish to consider using it, as otherwise, if a remote
directory contains both NFC and NFD versions of the same filename, an
odd situation will occur: both versions of the file will be visible in
the mount, and both will appear to be editable, however, editing either
version will actually result in only the NFD version getting edited
under the hood. <code>--vfs-block- norm-dupes</code> prevents this
confusion by detecting this scenario, hiding the duplicates, and logging
an error, similar to how this is handled in
<code>rclone sync</code>.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-disk-options-4">VFS Disk Options</h2>
<p>This flag allows you to manually set the statistics about the filing
system. It can be useful when those statistics cannot be read correctly
automatically.</p>
<pre><code>--vfs-disk-space-total-size Manually set the total disk space size (example: 256G, default: -1)</code></pre>
<h2 id="alternate-report-of-used-bytes-4">Alternate report of used
bytes</h2>
<p>Some backends, most notably S3, do not report the amount of bytes
used. If you need this information to be available when running
<code>df</code> on the filesystem, then pass the flag
<code>--vfs-used-is-size</code> to rclone. With this flag set, instead
of relying on the backend to report this information, rclone will scan
the whole remote similar to <code>rclone size</code> and compute the
total used space itself.</p>
<p><em>WARNING.</em> Contrary to <code>rclone size</code>, this flag
ignores filters so that the result is accurate. However, this is very
inefficient and may cost lots of API calls resulting in extra charges.
Use it as a last resort and only with caching.</p>
<h2 id="auth-proxy">Auth Proxy</h2>
<p>If you supply the parameter
<code>--auth-proxy /path/to/program</code> then rclone will use that
program to generate backends on the fly which then are used to
authenticate incoming requests. This uses a simple JSON based protocol
with input on STDIN and output on STDOUT.</p>
<p><strong>PLEASE NOTE:</strong> <code>--auth-proxy</code> and
<code>--authorized-keys</code> cannot be used together, if
<code>--auth-proxy</code> is set the authorized keys option will be
ignored.</p>
<p>There is an example program <a
href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/blob/master/bin/test_proxy.py">bin/test_proxy.py</a>
in the rclone source code.</p>
<p>The program's job is to take a <code>user</code> and
<code>pass</code> on the input and turn those into the config for a
backend on STDOUT in JSON format. This config will have any default
parameters for the backend added, but it won't use configuration from
environment variables or command line options - it is the job of the
proxy program to make a complete config.</p>
<p>This config generated must have this extra parameter -
<code>_root</code> - root to use for the backend</p>
<p>And it may have this parameter - <code>_obscure</code> - comma
separated strings for parameters to obscure</p>
<p>If password authentication was used by the client, input to the proxy
process (on STDIN) would look similar to this:</p>
<pre><code>{
&quot;user&quot;: &quot;me&quot;,
&quot;pass&quot;: &quot;mypassword&quot;
}</code></pre>
<p>If public-key authentication was used by the client, input to the
proxy process (on STDIN) would look similar to this:</p>
<pre><code>{
&quot;user&quot;: &quot;me&quot;,
&quot;public_key&quot;: &quot;AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQDuwESFdAe14hVS6omeyX7edc...JQdf&quot;
}</code></pre>
<p>And as an example return this on STDOUT</p>
<pre><code>{
&quot;type&quot;: &quot;sftp&quot;,
&quot;_root&quot;: &quot;&quot;,
&quot;_obscure&quot;: &quot;pass&quot;,
&quot;user&quot;: &quot;me&quot;,
&quot;pass&quot;: &quot;mypassword&quot;,
&quot;host&quot;: &quot;sftp.example.com&quot;
}</code></pre>
<p>This would mean that an SFTP backend would be created on the fly for
the <code>user</code> and <code>pass</code>/<code>public_key</code>
returned in the output to the host given. Note that since
<code>_obscure</code> is set to <code>pass</code>, rclone will obscure
the <code>pass</code> parameter before creating the backend (which is
required for sftp backends).</p>
<p>The program can manipulate the supplied <code>user</code> in any way,
for example to make proxy to many different sftp backends, you could
make the <code>user</code> be <code>user@example.com</code> and then set
the <code>host</code> to <code>example.com</code> in the output and the
user to <code>user</code>. For security you'd probably want to restrict
the <code>host</code> to a limited list.</p>
<p>Note that an internal cache is keyed on <code>user</code> so only use
that for configuration, don't use <code>pass</code> or
<code>public_key</code>. This also means that if a user's password or
public-key is changed the cache will need to expire (which takes 5 mins)
before it takes effect.</p>
<p>This can be used to build general purpose proxies to any kind of
backend that rclone supports.</p>

- Serve a remote over a protocol.</li>
</ul>
<h1 id="rclone-serve-http">rclone serve http</h1>
<p>Serve the remote over HTTP.</p>
<h2 id="synopsis-66">Synopsis</h2>
<p>Run a basic web server to serve a remote over HTTP. This can be
viewed in a web browser or you can make a remote of type http read from
it.</p>
<p>You can use the filter flags (e.g. <code>--include</code>,
<code>--exclude</code>) to control what is served.</p>
<p>The server will log errors. Use <code>-v</code> to see access
logs.</p>
<p><code>--bwlimit</code> will be respected for file transfers. Use
<code>--stats</code> to control the stats printing.</p>
<h2 id="server-options-3">Server options</h2>
<p>Use <code>--addr</code> to specify which IP address and port the
server should listen on, eg <code>--addr 1.2.3.4:8000</code> or
<code>--addr :8080</code> to listen to all IPs. By default it only
listens on localhost. You can use port :0 to let the OS choose an
available port.</p>
<p>If you set <code>--addr</code> to listen on a public or LAN
accessible IP address then using Authentication is advised - see the
next section for info.</p>
<p>You can use a unix socket by setting the url to
<code>unix:///path/to/socket</code> or just by using an absolute path
name. Note that unix sockets bypass the authentication - this is
expected to be done with file system permissions.</p>
<p><code>--addr</code> may be repeated to listen on multiple
IPs/ports/sockets. Socket activation, described further below, can also
be used to accomplish the same.</p>
<p><code>--server-read-timeout</code> and
<code>--server-write-timeout</code> can be used to control the timeouts
on the server. Note that this is the total time for a transfer.</p>
<p><code>--max-header-bytes</code> controls the maximum number of bytes
the server will accept in the HTTP header.</p>
<p><code>--baseurl</code> controls the URL prefix that rclone serves
from. By default rclone will serve from the root. If you used
<code>--baseurl "/rclone"</code> then rclone would serve from a URL
starting with "/rclone/". This is useful if you wish to proxy rclone
serve. Rclone automatically inserts leading and trailing "/" on
<code>--baseurl</code>, so <code>--baseurl "rclone"</code>,
<code>--baseurl "/rclone"</code> and <code>--baseurl "/rclone/"</code>
are all treated identically.</p>
<h3 id="tls-ssl-1">TLS (SSL)</h3>
<p>By default this will serve over http. If you want you can serve over
https. You will need to supply the <code>--cert</code> and
<code>--key</code> flags. If you wish to do client side certificate
validation then you will need to supply <code>--client-ca</code>
also.</p>
<p><code>--cert</code> should be a either a PEM encoded certificate or a
concatenation of that with the CA certificate. <code>--key</code> should
be the PEM encoded private key and <code>--client-ca</code> should be
the PEM encoded client certificate authority certificate.</p>
<p><code>--min-tls-version</code> is minimum TLS version that is
acceptable. Valid values are "tls1.0", "tls1.1", "tls1.2" and "tls1.3"
(default "tls1.0").</p>
<h2 id="socket-activation-1">Socket activation</h2>
<p>Instead of the listening addresses specified above, rclone will
listen to all FDs passed by the service manager, if any (and ignore any
arguments passed by --addr`).</p>
<p>This allows rclone to be a socket-activated service. It can be
configured with .socket and .service unit files as described in
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd.socket.html</p>
<p>Socket activation can be tested ad-hoc with the
<code>systemd-socket-activate</code>command</p>
<pre><code> systemd-socket-activate -l 8000 -- rclone serve</code></pre>
<p>This will socket-activate rclone on the first connection to port 8000
over TCP. ### Template</p>
<p><code>--template</code> allows a user to specify a custom markup
template for HTTP and WebDAV serve functions. The server exports the

<h3 id="authentication-2">Authentication</h3>
<p>By default this will serve files without needing a login.</p>
<p>You can either use an htpasswd file which can take lots of users, or
set a single username and password with the <code>--user</code> and
<code>--pass</code> flags.</p>
<p>If no static users are configured by either of the above methods, and
client certificates are required by the <code>--client-ca</code> flag
passed to the server, the client certificate common name will be
considered as the username.</p>
<p>Use <code>--htpasswd /path/to/htpasswd</code> to provide an htpasswd
file. This is in standard apache format and supports MD5, SHA1 and
BCrypt for basic authentication. Bcrypt is recommended.</p>
<p>To create an htpasswd file:</p>
<pre><code>touch htpasswd
htpasswd -B htpasswd user
htpasswd -B htpasswd anotherUser</code></pre>
<p>The password file can be updated while rclone is running.</p>
<p>Use <code>--realm</code> to set the authentication realm.</p>
<p>Use <code>--salt</code> to change the password hashing salt from the
default.</p>
<h2 id="vfs---virtual-file-system-5">VFS - Virtual File System</h2>
<p>This command uses the VFS layer. This adapts the cloud storage
objects that rclone uses into something which looks much more like a
disk filing system.</p>
<p>Cloud storage objects have lots of properties which aren't like disk
files - you can't extend them or write to the middle of them, so the VFS
layer has to deal with that. Because there is no one right way of doing
this there are various options explained below.</p>
<p>The VFS layer also implements a directory cache - this caches info
about files and directories (but not the data) in memory.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-directory-cache-5">VFS Directory Cache</h2>
<p>Using the <code>--dir-cache-time</code> flag, you can control how
long a directory should be considered up to date and not refreshed from
the backend. Changes made through the VFS will appear immediately or
invalidate the cache.</p>
<pre><code>--dir-cache-time duration Time to cache directory entries for (default 5m0s)
--poll-interval duration Time to wait between polling for changes. Must be smaller than dir-cache-time. Only on supported remotes. Set to 0 to disable (default 1m0s)</code></pre>
<p>However, changes made directly on the cloud storage by the web
interface or a different copy of rclone will only be picked up once the
directory cache expires if the backend configured does not support
polling for changes. If the backend supports polling, changes will be
picked up within the polling interval.</p>
<p>You can send a <code>SIGHUP</code> signal to rclone for it to flush
all directory caches, regardless of how old they are. Assuming only one
rclone instance is running, you can reset the cache like this:</p>
<pre><code>kill -SIGHUP $(pidof rclone)</code></pre>
<p>If you configure rclone with a <a href="/rc">remote control</a> then
you can use rclone rc to flush the whole directory cache:</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/forget</code></pre>
<p>Or individual files or directories:</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/forget file=path/to/file dir=path/to/dir</code></pre>
<h2 id="vfs-file-buffering-5">VFS File Buffering</h2>
<p>The <code>--buffer-size</code> flag determines the amount of memory,
that will be used to buffer data in advance.</p>
<p>Each open file will try to keep the specified amount of data in
memory at all times. The buffered data is bound to one open file and
won't be shared.</p>
<p>This flag is a upper limit for the used memory per open file. The
buffer will only use memory for data that is downloaded but not not yet
read. If the buffer is empty, only a small amount of memory will be
used.</p>
<p>The maximum memory used by rclone for buffering can be up to
<code>--buffer-size * open files</code>.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-file-caching-5">VFS File Caching</h2>
<p>These flags control the VFS file caching options. File caching is
necessary to make the VFS layer appear compatible with a normal file
system. It can be disabled at the cost of some compatibility.</p>
<p>For example you'll need to enable VFS caching if you want to read and
write simultaneously to a file. See below for more details.</p>
<p>Note that the VFS cache is separate from the cache backend and you
may find that you need one or the other or both.</p>
<pre><code>--cache-dir string Directory rclone will use for caching.
--vfs-cache-mode CacheMode Cache mode off|minimal|writes|full (default off)
--vfs-cache-max-age duration Max time since last access of objects in the cache (default 1h0m0s)
--vfs-cache-max-size SizeSuffix Max total size of objects in the cache (default off)
--vfs-cache-min-free-space SizeSuffix Target minimum free space on the disk containing the cache (default off)
--vfs-cache-poll-interval duration Interval to poll the cache for stale objects (default 1m0s)
--vfs-write-back duration Time to writeback files after last use when using cache (default 5s)</code></pre>
<p>If run with <code>-vv</code> rclone will print the location of the
file cache. The files are stored in the user cache file area which is OS
dependent but can be controlled with <code>--cache-dir</code> or setting
the appropriate environment variable.</p>
<p>The cache has 4 different modes selected by
<code>--vfs-cache-mode</code>. The higher the cache mode the more
compatible rclone becomes at the cost of using disk space.</p>
<p>Note that files are written back to the remote only when they are
closed and if they haven't been accessed for
<code>--vfs-write-back</code> seconds. If rclone is quit or dies with
files that haven't been uploaded, these will be uploaded next time
rclone is run with the same flags.</p>
<p>If using <code>--vfs-cache-max-size</code> or
<code>--vfs-cache-min-free-size</code> note that the cache may exceed
these quotas for two reasons. Firstly because it is only checked every
<code>--vfs-cache-poll-interval</code>. Secondly because open files
cannot be evicted from the cache. When <code>--vfs-cache-max-size</code>
or <code>--vfs-cache-min-free-size</code> is exceeded, rclone will
attempt to evict the least accessed files from the cache first. rclone
will start with files that haven't been accessed for the longest. This
cache flushing strategy is efficient and more relevant files are likely
to remain cached.</p>
<p>The <code>--vfs-cache-max-age</code> will evict files from the cache
after the set time since last access has passed. The default value of 1
hour will start evicting files from cache that haven't been accessed for
1 hour. When a cached file is accessed the 1 hour timer is reset to 0
and will wait for 1 more hour before evicting. Specify the time with
standard notation, s, m, h, d, w .</p>
<p>You <strong>should not</strong> run two copies of rclone using the
same VFS cache with the same or overlapping remotes if using
<code>--vfs-cache-mode &gt; off</code>. This can potentially cause data
corruption if you do. You can work around this by giving each rclone its
own cache hierarchy with <code>--cache-dir</code>. You don't need to
worry about this if the remotes in use don't overlap.</p>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-off-5">--vfs-cache-mode off</h3>
<p>In this mode (the default) the cache will read directly from the
remote and write directly to the remote without caching anything on
disk.</p>
<p>This will mean some operations are not possible</p>
<ul>
<li>Files can't be opened for both read AND write</li>
<li>Files opened for write can't be seeked</li>
<li>Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set</li>
<li>Files open for read with O_TRUNC will be opened write only</li>
<li>Files open for write only will behave as if O_TRUNC was
supplied</li>
<li>Open modes O_APPEND, O_TRUNC are ignored</li>
<li>If an upload fails it can't be retried</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-minimal-5">--vfs-cache-mode minimal</h3>
<p>This is very similar to "off" except that files opened for read AND
write will be buffered to disk. This means that files opened for write
will be a lot more compatible, but uses the minimal disk space.</p>
<p>These operations are not possible</p>
<ul>
<li>Files opened for write only can't be seeked</li>
<li>Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set</li>
<li>Files opened for write only will ignore O_APPEND, O_TRUNC</li>
<li>If an upload fails it can't be retried</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-writes-5">--vfs-cache-mode writes</h3>
<p>In this mode files opened for read only are still read directly from
the remote, write only and read/write files are buffered to disk
first.</p>
<p>This mode should support all normal file system operations.</p>
<p>If an upload fails it will be retried at exponentially increasing
intervals up to 1 minute.</p>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-full-5">--vfs-cache-mode full</h3>
<p>In this mode all reads and writes are buffered to and from disk. When
data is read from the remote this is buffered to disk as well.</p>
<p>In this mode the files in the cache will be sparse files and rclone
will keep track of which bits of the files it has downloaded.</p>
<p>So if an application only reads the starts of each file, then rclone
will only buffer the start of the file. These files will appear to be
their full size in the cache, but they will be sparse files with only
the data that has been downloaded present in them.</p>
<p>This mode should support all normal file system operations and is
otherwise identical to <code>--vfs-cache-mode</code> writes.</p>
<p>When reading a file rclone will read <code>--buffer-size</code> plus
<code>--vfs-read-ahead</code> bytes ahead. The
<code>--buffer-size</code> is buffered in memory whereas the
<code>--vfs-read-ahead</code> is buffered on disk.</p>
<p>When using this mode it is recommended that
<code>--buffer-size</code> is not set too large and
<code>--vfs-read-ahead</code> is set large if required.</p>
<p><strong>IMPORTANT</strong> not all file systems support sparse files.
In particular FAT/exFAT do not. Rclone will perform very badly if the
cache directory is on a filesystem which doesn't support sparse files
and it will log an ERROR message if one is detected.</p>
<h3 id="fingerprinting-5">Fingerprinting</h3>
<p>Various parts of the VFS use fingerprinting to see if a local file
copy has changed relative to a remote file. Fingerprints are made
from:</p>
<ul>
<li>size</li>
<li>modification time</li>
<li>hash</li>
</ul>
<p>where available on an object.</p>
<p>On some backends some of these attributes are slow to read (they take
an extra API call per object, or extra work per object).</p>
<p>For example <code>hash</code> is slow with the <code>local</code> and
<code>sftp</code> backends as they have to read the entire file and hash
it, and <code>modtime</code> is slow with the <code>s3</code>,
<code>swift</code>, <code>ftp</code> and <code>qinqstor</code> backends
because they need to do an extra API call to fetch it.</p>
<p>If you use the <code>--vfs-fast-fingerprint</code> flag then rclone
will not include the slow operations in the fingerprint. This makes the
fingerprinting less accurate but much faster and will improve the
opening time of cached files.</p>
<p>If you are running a vfs cache over <code>local</code>,
<code>s3</code> or <code>swift</code> backends then using this flag is
recommended.</p>
<p>Note that if you change the value of this flag, the fingerprints of
the files in the cache may be invalidated and the files will need to be
downloaded again.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-chunked-reading-5">VFS Chunked Reading</h2>
<p>When rclone reads files from a remote it reads them in chunks. This
means that rather than requesting the whole file rclone reads the chunk
specified. This can reduce the used download quota for some remotes by
requesting only chunks from the remote that are actually read, at the
cost of an increased number of requests.</p>
<p>These flags control the chunking:</p>
<pre><code>--vfs-read-chunk-size SizeSuffix Read the source objects in chunks (default 128M)
--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit SizeSuffix Max chunk doubling size (default off)
--vfs-read-chunk-streams int The number of parallel streams to read at once</code></pre>
<p>The chunking behaves differently depending on the
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> parameter.</p>
<h3
id="vfs-read-chunk-streams-0-10"><code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code>
== 0</h3>
<p>Rclone will start reading a chunk of size
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code>, and then double the size for each
read. When <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit</code> is specified, and
greater than <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code>, the chunk size for each
open file will get doubled only until the specified value is reached. If
the value is "off", which is the default, the limit is disabled and the
chunk size will grow indefinitely.</p>
<p>With <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size 100M</code> and
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 0</code> the following parts will be
downloaded: 0-100M, 100M-200M, 200M-300M, 300M-400M and so on. When
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 500M</code> is specified, the result
would be 0-100M, 100M-300M, 300M-700M, 700M-1200M, 1200M-1700M and so
on.</p>
<p>Setting <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code> to <code>0</code> or "off"
disables chunked reading.</p>
<p>The chunks will not be buffered in memory.</p>
<h3
id="vfs-read-chunk-streams-0-11"><code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code>
&gt; 0</h3>
<p>Rclone reads <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> chunks of size
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code> concurrently. The size for each read
will stay constant.</p>
<p>This improves performance performance massively on high latency links
or very high bandwidth links to high performance object stores.</p>
<p>Some experimentation will be needed to find the optimum values of
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code> and
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> as these will depend on the
backend in use and the latency to the backend.</p>
<p>For high performance object stores (eg AWS S3) a reasonable place to
start might be <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams 16</code> and
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size 4M</code>. In testing with AWS S3 the
performance scaled roughly as the <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code>
setting.</p>
<p>Similar settings should work for high latency links, but depending on
the latency they may need more <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> in
order to get the throughput.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-performance-5">VFS Performance</h2>
<p>These flags may be used to enable/disable features of the VFS for
performance or other reasons. See also the <a
href="#vfs-chunked-reading">chunked reading</a> feature.</p>
<p>In particular S3 and Swift benefit hugely from the
<code>--no-modtime</code> flag (or use <code>--use-server-modtime</code>
for a slightly different effect) as each read of the modification time
takes a transaction.</p>
<pre><code>--no-checksum Don&#39;t compare checksums on up/download.
--no-modtime Don&#39;t read/write the modification time (can speed things up).
--no-seek Don&#39;t allow seeking in files.
--read-only Only allow read-only access.</code></pre>
<p>Sometimes rclone is delivered reads or writes out of order. Rather
than seeking rclone will wait a short time for the in sequence read or
write to come in. These flags only come into effect when not using an on
disk cache file.</p>
<pre><code>--vfs-read-wait duration Time to wait for in-sequence read before seeking (default 20ms)
--vfs-write-wait duration Time to wait for in-sequence write before giving error (default 1s)</code></pre>
<p>When using VFS write caching (<code>--vfs-cache-mode</code> with
value writes or full), the global flag <code>--transfers</code> can be
set to adjust the number of parallel uploads of modified files from the
cache (the related global flag <code>--checkers</code> has no effect on
the VFS).</p>
<pre><code>--transfers int Number of file transfers to run in parallel (default 4)</code></pre>
<h2 id="vfs-case-sensitivity-5">VFS Case Sensitivity</h2>
<p>Linux file systems are case-sensitive: two files can differ only by
case, and the exact case must be used when opening a file.</p>
<p>File systems in modern Windows are case-insensitive but
case-preserving: although existing files can be opened using any case,
the exact case used to create the file is preserved and available for
programs to query. It is not allowed for two files in the same directory
to differ only by case.</p>
<p>Usually file systems on macOS are case-insensitive. It is possible to
make macOS file systems case-sensitive but that is not the default.</p>
<p>The <code>--vfs-case-insensitive</code> VFS flag controls how rclone
handles these two cases. If its value is "false", rclone passes file
names to the remote as-is. If the flag is "true" (or appears without a
value on the command line), rclone may perform a "fixup" as explained
below.</p>
<p>The user may specify a file name to open/delete/rename/etc with a
case different than what is stored on the remote. If an argument refers
to an existing file with exactly the same name, then the case of the
existing file on the disk will be used. However, if a file name with
exactly the same name is not found but a name differing only by case
exists, rclone will transparently fixup the name. This fixup happens
only when an existing file is requested. Case sensitivity of file names
created anew by rclone is controlled by the underlying remote.</p>
<p>Note that case sensitivity of the operating system running rclone
(the target) may differ from case sensitivity of a file system presented
by rclone (the source). The flag controls whether "fixup" is performed
to satisfy the target.</p>
<p>If the flag is not provided on the command line, then its default
value depends on the operating system where rclone runs: "true" on
Windows and macOS, "false" otherwise. If the flag is provided without a
value, then it is "true".</p>
<p>The <code>--no-unicode-normalization</code> flag controls whether a
similar "fixup" is performed for filenames that differ but are <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_equivalence">canonically
equivalent</a> with respect to unicode. Unicode normalization can be
particularly helpful for users of macOS, which prefers form NFD instead
of the NFC used by most other platforms. It is therefore highly
recommended to keep the default of <code>false</code> on macOS, to avoid
encoding compatibility issues.</p>
<p>In the (probably unlikely) event that a directory has multiple
duplicate filenames after applying case and unicode normalization, the
<code>--vfs-block-norm-dupes</code> flag allows hiding these duplicates.
This comes with a performance tradeoff, as rclone will have to scan the
entire directory for duplicates when listing a directory. For this
reason, it is recommended to leave this disabled if not needed. However,
macOS users may wish to consider using it, as otherwise, if a remote
directory contains both NFC and NFD versions of the same filename, an
odd situation will occur: both versions of the file will be visible in
the mount, and both will appear to be editable, however, editing either
version will actually result in only the NFD version getting edited
under the hood. <code>--vfs-block- norm-dupes</code> prevents this
confusion by detecting this scenario, hiding the duplicates, and logging
an error, similar to how this is handled in
<code>rclone sync</code>.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-disk-options-5">VFS Disk Options</h2>
<p>This flag allows you to manually set the statistics about the filing
system. It can be useful when those statistics cannot be read correctly
automatically.</p>
<pre><code>--vfs-disk-space-total-size Manually set the total disk space size (example: 256G, default: -1)</code></pre>
<h2 id="alternate-report-of-used-bytes-5">Alternate report of used
bytes</h2>
<p>Some backends, most notably S3, do not report the amount of bytes
used. If you need this information to be available when running
<code>df</code> on the filesystem, then pass the flag
<code>--vfs-used-is-size</code> to rclone. With this flag set, instead
of relying on the backend to report this information, rclone will scan
the whole remote similar to <code>rclone size</code> and compute the
total used space itself.</p>
<p><em>WARNING.</em> Contrary to <code>rclone size</code>, this flag
ignores filters so that the result is accurate. However, this is very
inefficient and may cost lots of API calls resulting in extra charges.
Use it as a last resort and only with caching.</p>
<h2 id="auth-proxy-1">Auth Proxy</h2>
<p>If you supply the parameter
<code>--auth-proxy /path/to/program</code> then rclone will use that
program to generate backends on the fly which then are used to
authenticate incoming requests. This uses a simple JSON based protocol
with input on STDIN and output on STDOUT.</p>
<p><strong>PLEASE NOTE:</strong> <code>--auth-proxy</code> and
<code>--authorized-keys</code> cannot be used together, if
<code>--auth-proxy</code> is set the authorized keys option will be
ignored.</p>
<p>There is an example program <a
href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/blob/master/bin/test_proxy.py">bin/test_proxy.py</a>
in the rclone source code.</p>
<p>The program's job is to take a <code>user</code> and
<code>pass</code> on the input and turn those into the config for a
backend on STDOUT in JSON format. This config will have any default
parameters for the backend added, but it won't use configuration from
environment variables or command line options - it is the job of the
proxy program to make a complete config.</p>
<p>This config generated must have this extra parameter -
<code>_root</code> - root to use for the backend</p>
<p>And it may have this parameter - <code>_obscure</code> - comma
separated strings for parameters to obscure</p>
<p>If password authentication was used by the client, input to the proxy
process (on STDIN) would look similar to this:</p>
<pre><code>{
&quot;user&quot;: &quot;me&quot;,
&quot;pass&quot;: &quot;mypassword&quot;
}</code></pre>
<p>If public-key authentication was used by the client, input to the
proxy process (on STDIN) would look similar to this:</p>
<pre><code>{
&quot;user&quot;: &quot;me&quot;,
&quot;public_key&quot;: &quot;AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQDuwESFdAe14hVS6omeyX7edc...JQdf&quot;
}</code></pre>
<p>And as an example return this on STDOUT</p>
<pre><code>{
&quot;type&quot;: &quot;sftp&quot;,
&quot;_root&quot;: &quot;&quot;,
&quot;_obscure&quot;: &quot;pass&quot;,
&quot;user&quot;: &quot;me&quot;,
&quot;pass&quot;: &quot;mypassword&quot;,
&quot;host&quot;: &quot;sftp.example.com&quot;
}</code></pre>
<p>This would mean that an SFTP backend would be created on the fly for
the <code>user</code> and <code>pass</code>/<code>public_key</code>
returned in the output to the host given. Note that since
<code>_obscure</code> is set to <code>pass</code>, rclone will obscure
the <code>pass</code> parameter before creating the backend (which is
required for sftp backends).</p>
<p>The program can manipulate the supplied <code>user</code> in any way,
for example to make proxy to many different sftp backends, you could
make the <code>user</code> be <code>user@example.com</code> and then set
the <code>host</code> to <code>example.com</code> in the output and the
user to <code>user</code>. For security you'd probably want to restrict
the <code>host</code> to a limited list.</p>
<p>Note that an internal cache is keyed on <code>user</code> so only use
that for configuration, don't use <code>pass</code> or
<code>public_key</code>. This also means that if a user's password or
public-key is changed the cache will need to expire (which takes 5 mins)
before it takes effect.</p>
<p>This can be used to build general purpose proxies to any kind of
backend that rclone supports.</p>

<h1 id="rclone-serve-nfs">rclone serve nfs</h1>
<p>Serve the remote as an NFS mount</p>
<h2 id="synopsis-67">Synopsis</h2>
<p>Create an NFS server that serves the given remote over the
network.</p>
<p>This implements an NFSv3 server to serve any rclone remote via
NFS.</p>
<p>The primary purpose for this command is to enable the <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_mount/">mount command</a> on
recent macOS versions where installing FUSE is very cumbersome.</p>
<p>This server does not implement any authentication so any client will
be able to access the data. To limit access, you can use
<code>serve nfs</code> on the loopback address or rely on secure tunnels
(such as SSH) or use firewalling.</p>
<p>For this reason, by default, a random TCP port is chosen and the
loopback interface is used for the listening address by default; meaning
that it is only available to the local machine. If you want other
machines to access the NFS mount over local network, you need to specify
the listening address and port using the <code>--addr</code> flag.</p>
<p>Modifying files through the NFS protocol requires VFS caching.
Usually you will need to specify <code>--vfs-cache-mode</code> in order
to be able to write to the mountpoint (<code>full</code> is
recommended). If you don't specify VFS cache mode, the mount will be
read-only.</p>
<p><code>--nfs-cache-type</code> controls the type of the NFS handle
cache. By default this is <code>memory</code> where new handles will be
randomly allocated when needed. These are stored in memory. If the
server is restarted the handle cache will be lost and connected NFS
clients will get stale handle errors.</p>
<p><code>--nfs-cache-type disk</code> uses an on disk NFS handle cache.
Rclone hashes the path of the object and stores it in a file named after
the hash. These hashes are stored on disk the directory controlled by
<code>--cache-dir</code> or the exact directory may be specified with
<code>--nfs-cache-dir</code>. Using this means that the NFS server can
be restarted at will without affecting the connected clients.</p>
<p><code>--nfs-cache-type symlink</code> is similar to
<code>--nfs-cache-type disk</code> in that it uses an on disk cache, but
the cache entries are held as symlinks. Rclone will use the handle of
the underlying file as the NFS handle which improves performance. This
sort of cache can't be backed up and restored as the underlying handles
will change. This is Linux only.</p>
<p><code>--nfs-cache-handle-limit</code> controls the maximum number of
cached NFS handles stored by the caching handler. This should not be set
too low or you may experience errors when trying to access files. The
default is <code>1000000</code>, but consider lowering this limit if the
server's system resource usage causes problems. This is only used by the
<code>memory</code> type cache.</p>
<p>To serve NFS over the network use following command:</p>
<pre><code>rclone serve nfs remote: --addr 0.0.0.0:$PORT --vfs-cache-mode=full</code></pre>
<p>This specifies a port that can be used in the mount command. To mount
the server under Linux/macOS, use the following command:</p>
<pre><code>mount -t nfs -o port=$PORT,mountport=$PORT,tcp $HOSTNAME:/ path/to/mountpoint</code></pre>
<p>Where <code>$PORT</code> is the same port number used in the
<code>serve nfs</code> command and <code>$HOSTNAME</code> is the network
address of the machine that <code>serve nfs</code> was run on.</p>
<p>This command is only available on Unix platforms.</p>
<h2 id="vfs---virtual-file-system-6">VFS - Virtual File System</h2>
<p>This command uses the VFS layer. This adapts the cloud storage
objects that rclone uses into something which looks much more like a
disk filing system.</p>
<p>Cloud storage objects have lots of properties which aren't like disk
files - you can't extend them or write to the middle of them, so the VFS
layer has to deal with that. Because there is no one right way of doing
this there are various options explained below.</p>
<p>The VFS layer also implements a directory cache - this caches info
about files and directories (but not the data) in memory.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-directory-cache-6">VFS Directory Cache</h2>
<p>Using the <code>--dir-cache-time</code> flag, you can control how
long a directory should be considered up to date and not refreshed from
the backend. Changes made through the VFS will appear immediately or
invalidate the cache.</p>
<pre><code>--dir-cache-time duration Time to cache directory entries for (default 5m0s)
--poll-interval duration Time to wait between polling for changes. Must be smaller than dir-cache-time. Only on supported remotes. Set to 0 to disable (default 1m0s)</code></pre>
<p>However, changes made directly on the cloud storage by the web
interface or a different copy of rclone will only be picked up once the
directory cache expires if the backend configured does not support
polling for changes. If the backend supports polling, changes will be
picked up within the polling interval.</p>
<p>You can send a <code>SIGHUP</code> signal to rclone for it to flush
all directory caches, regardless of how old they are. Assuming only one
rclone instance is running, you can reset the cache like this:</p>
<pre><code>kill -SIGHUP $(pidof rclone)</code></pre>
<p>If you configure rclone with a <a href="/rc">remote control</a> then
you can use rclone rc to flush the whole directory cache:</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/forget</code></pre>
<p>Or individual files or directories:</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/forget file=path/to/file dir=path/to/dir</code></pre>
<h2 id="vfs-file-buffering-6">VFS File Buffering</h2>
<p>The <code>--buffer-size</code> flag determines the amount of memory,
that will be used to buffer data in advance.</p>
<p>Each open file will try to keep the specified amount of data in
memory at all times. The buffered data is bound to one open file and
won't be shared.</p>
<p>This flag is a upper limit for the used memory per open file. The
buffer will only use memory for data that is downloaded but not not yet
read. If the buffer is empty, only a small amount of memory will be
used.</p>
<p>The maximum memory used by rclone for buffering can be up to
<code>--buffer-size * open files</code>.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-file-caching-6">VFS File Caching</h2>
<p>These flags control the VFS file caching options. File caching is
necessary to make the VFS layer appear compatible with a normal file
system. It can be disabled at the cost of some compatibility.</p>
<p>For example you'll need to enable VFS caching if you want to read and
write simultaneously to a file. See below for more details.</p>
<p>Note that the VFS cache is separate from the cache backend and you
may find that you need one or the other or both.</p>
<pre><code>--cache-dir string Directory rclone will use for caching.
--vfs-cache-mode CacheMode Cache mode off|minimal|writes|full (default off)
--vfs-cache-max-age duration Max time since last access of objects in the cache (default 1h0m0s)
--vfs-cache-max-size SizeSuffix Max total size of objects in the cache (default off)
--vfs-cache-min-free-space SizeSuffix Target minimum free space on the disk containing the cache (default off)
--vfs-cache-poll-interval duration Interval to poll the cache for stale objects (default 1m0s)
--vfs-write-back duration Time to writeback files after last use when using cache (default 5s)</code></pre>
<p>If run with <code>-vv</code> rclone will print the location of the
file cache. The files are stored in the user cache file area which is OS
dependent but can be controlled with <code>--cache-dir</code> or setting
the appropriate environment variable.</p>
<p>The cache has 4 different modes selected by
<code>--vfs-cache-mode</code>. The higher the cache mode the more
compatible rclone becomes at the cost of using disk space.</p>
<p>Note that files are written back to the remote only when they are
closed and if they haven't been accessed for
<code>--vfs-write-back</code> seconds. If rclone is quit or dies with
files that haven't been uploaded, these will be uploaded next time
rclone is run with the same flags.</p>
<p>If using <code>--vfs-cache-max-size</code> or
<code>--vfs-cache-min-free-size</code> note that the cache may exceed
these quotas for two reasons. Firstly because it is only checked every
<code>--vfs-cache-poll-interval</code>. Secondly because open files
cannot be evicted from the cache. When <code>--vfs-cache-max-size</code>
or <code>--vfs-cache-min-free-size</code> is exceeded, rclone will
attempt to evict the least accessed files from the cache first. rclone
will start with files that haven't been accessed for the longest. This
cache flushing strategy is efficient and more relevant files are likely
to remain cached.</p>
<p>The <code>--vfs-cache-max-age</code> will evict files from the cache
after the set time since last access has passed. The default value of 1
hour will start evicting files from cache that haven't been accessed for
1 hour. When a cached file is accessed the 1 hour timer is reset to 0
and will wait for 1 more hour before evicting. Specify the time with
standard notation, s, m, h, d, w .</p>
<p>You <strong>should not</strong> run two copies of rclone using the
same VFS cache with the same or overlapping remotes if using
<code>--vfs-cache-mode &gt; off</code>. This can potentially cause data
corruption if you do. You can work around this by giving each rclone its
own cache hierarchy with <code>--cache-dir</code>. You don't need to
worry about this if the remotes in use don't overlap.</p>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-off-6">--vfs-cache-mode off</h3>
<p>In this mode (the default) the cache will read directly from the
remote and write directly to the remote without caching anything on
disk.</p>
<p>This will mean some operations are not possible</p>
<ul>
<li>Files can't be opened for both read AND write</li>
<li>Files opened for write can't be seeked</li>
<li>Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set</li>
<li>Files open for read with O_TRUNC will be opened write only</li>
<li>Files open for write only will behave as if O_TRUNC was
supplied</li>
<li>Open modes O_APPEND, O_TRUNC are ignored</li>
<li>If an upload fails it can't be retried</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-minimal-6">--vfs-cache-mode minimal</h3>
<p>This is very similar to "off" except that files opened for read AND
write will be buffered to disk. This means that files opened for write
will be a lot more compatible, but uses the minimal disk space.</p>
<p>These operations are not possible</p>
<ul>
<li>Files opened for write only can't be seeked</li>
<li>Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set</li>
<li>Files opened for write only will ignore O_APPEND, O_TRUNC</li>
<li>If an upload fails it can't be retried</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-writes-6">--vfs-cache-mode writes</h3>
<p>In this mode files opened for read only are still read directly from
the remote, write only and read/write files are buffered to disk
first.</p>
<p>This mode should support all normal file system operations.</p>
<p>If an upload fails it will be retried at exponentially increasing
intervals up to 1 minute.</p>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-full-6">--vfs-cache-mode full</h3>
<p>In this mode all reads and writes are buffered to and from disk. When
data is read from the remote this is buffered to disk as well.</p>
<p>In this mode the files in the cache will be sparse files and rclone
will keep track of which bits of the files it has downloaded.</p>
<p>So if an application only reads the starts of each file, then rclone
will only buffer the start of the file. These files will appear to be
their full size in the cache, but they will be sparse files with only
the data that has been downloaded present in them.</p>
<p>This mode should support all normal file system operations and is
otherwise identical to <code>--vfs-cache-mode</code> writes.</p>
<p>When reading a file rclone will read <code>--buffer-size</code> plus
<code>--vfs-read-ahead</code> bytes ahead. The
<code>--buffer-size</code> is buffered in memory whereas the
<code>--vfs-read-ahead</code> is buffered on disk.</p>
<p>When using this mode it is recommended that
<code>--buffer-size</code> is not set too large and
<code>--vfs-read-ahead</code> is set large if required.</p>
<p><strong>IMPORTANT</strong> not all file systems support sparse files.
In particular FAT/exFAT do not. Rclone will perform very badly if the
cache directory is on a filesystem which doesn't support sparse files
and it will log an ERROR message if one is detected.</p>
<h3 id="fingerprinting-6">Fingerprinting</h3>
<p>Various parts of the VFS use fingerprinting to see if a local file
copy has changed relative to a remote file. Fingerprints are made
from:</p>
<ul>
<li>size</li>
<li>modification time</li>
<li>hash</li>
</ul>
<p>where available on an object.</p>
<p>On some backends some of these attributes are slow to read (they take
an extra API call per object, or extra work per object).</p>
<p>For example <code>hash</code> is slow with the <code>local</code> and
<code>sftp</code> backends as they have to read the entire file and hash
it, and <code>modtime</code> is slow with the <code>s3</code>,
<code>swift</code>, <code>ftp</code> and <code>qinqstor</code> backends
because they need to do an extra API call to fetch it.</p>
<p>If you use the <code>--vfs-fast-fingerprint</code> flag then rclone
will not include the slow operations in the fingerprint. This makes the
fingerprinting less accurate but much faster and will improve the
opening time of cached files.</p>
<p>If you are running a vfs cache over <code>local</code>,
<code>s3</code> or <code>swift</code> backends then using this flag is
recommended.</p>
<p>Note that if you change the value of this flag, the fingerprints of
the files in the cache may be invalidated and the files will need to be
downloaded again.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-chunked-reading-6">VFS Chunked Reading</h2>
<p>When rclone reads files from a remote it reads them in chunks. This
means that rather than requesting the whole file rclone reads the chunk
specified. This can reduce the used download quota for some remotes by
requesting only chunks from the remote that are actually read, at the
cost of an increased number of requests.</p>
<p>These flags control the chunking:</p>
<pre><code>--vfs-read-chunk-size SizeSuffix Read the source objects in chunks (default 128M)
--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit SizeSuffix Max chunk doubling size (default off)
--vfs-read-chunk-streams int The number of parallel streams to read at once</code></pre>
<p>The chunking behaves differently depending on the
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> parameter.</p>
<h3
id="vfs-read-chunk-streams-0-12"><code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code>
== 0</h3>
<p>Rclone will start reading a chunk of size
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code>, and then double the size for each
read. When <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit</code> is specified, and
greater than <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code>, the chunk size for each
open file will get doubled only until the specified value is reached. If
the value is "off", which is the default, the limit is disabled and the
chunk size will grow indefinitely.</p>
<p>With <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size 100M</code> and
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 0</code> the following parts will be
downloaded: 0-100M, 100M-200M, 200M-300M, 300M-400M and so on. When
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 500M</code> is specified, the result
would be 0-100M, 100M-300M, 300M-700M, 700M-1200M, 1200M-1700M and so
on.</p>
<p>Setting <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code> to <code>0</code> or "off"
disables chunked reading.</p>
<p>The chunks will not be buffered in memory.</p>
<h3
id="vfs-read-chunk-streams-0-13"><code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code>
&gt; 0</h3>
<p>Rclone reads <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> chunks of size
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code> concurrently. The size for each read
will stay constant.</p>
<p>This improves performance performance massively on high latency links
or very high bandwidth links to high performance object stores.</p>
<p>Some experimentation will be needed to find the optimum values of
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code> and
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> as these will depend on the
backend in use and the latency to the backend.</p>
<p>For high performance object stores (eg AWS S3) a reasonable place to
start might be <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams 16</code> and
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size 4M</code>. In testing with AWS S3 the
performance scaled roughly as the <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code>
setting.</p>
<p>Similar settings should work for high latency links, but depending on
the latency they may need more <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> in
order to get the throughput.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-performance-6">VFS Performance</h2>
<p>These flags may be used to enable/disable features of the VFS for
performance or other reasons. See also the <a
href="#vfs-chunked-reading">chunked reading</a> feature.</p>
<p>In particular S3 and Swift benefit hugely from the
<code>--no-modtime</code> flag (or use <code>--use-server-modtime</code>
for a slightly different effect) as each read of the modification time
takes a transaction.</p>
<pre><code>--no-checksum Don&#39;t compare checksums on up/download.
--no-modtime Don&#39;t read/write the modification time (can speed things up).
--no-seek Don&#39;t allow seeking in files.
--read-only Only allow read-only access.</code></pre>
<p>Sometimes rclone is delivered reads or writes out of order. Rather
than seeking rclone will wait a short time for the in sequence read or
write to come in. These flags only come into effect when not using an on
disk cache file.</p>
<pre><code>--vfs-read-wait duration Time to wait for in-sequence read before seeking (default 20ms)
--vfs-write-wait duration Time to wait for in-sequence write before giving error (default 1s)</code></pre>
<p>When using VFS write caching (<code>--vfs-cache-mode</code> with
value writes or full), the global flag <code>--transfers</code> can be
set to adjust the number of parallel uploads of modified files from the
cache (the related global flag <code>--checkers</code> has no effect on
the VFS).</p>
<pre><code>--transfers int Number of file transfers to run in parallel (default 4)</code></pre>
<h2 id="vfs-case-sensitivity-6">VFS Case Sensitivity</h2>
<p>Linux file systems are case-sensitive: two files can differ only by
case, and the exact case must be used when opening a file.</p>
<p>File systems in modern Windows are case-insensitive but
case-preserving: although existing files can be opened using any case,
the exact case used to create the file is preserved and available for
programs to query. It is not allowed for two files in the same directory
to differ only by case.</p>
<p>Usually file systems on macOS are case-insensitive. It is possible to
make macOS file systems case-sensitive but that is not the default.</p>
<p>The <code>--vfs-case-insensitive</code> VFS flag controls how rclone
handles these two cases. If its value is "false", rclone passes file
names to the remote as-is. If the flag is "true" (or appears without a
value on the command line), rclone may perform a "fixup" as explained
below.</p>
<p>The user may specify a file name to open/delete/rename/etc with a
case different than what is stored on the remote. If an argument refers
to an existing file with exactly the same name, then the case of the
existing file on the disk will be used. However, if a file name with
exactly the same name is not found but a name differing only by case
exists, rclone will transparently fixup the name. This fixup happens
only when an existing file is requested. Case sensitivity of file names
created anew by rclone is controlled by the underlying remote.</p>
<p>Note that case sensitivity of the operating system running rclone
(the target) may differ from case sensitivity of a file system presented
by rclone (the source). The flag controls whether "fixup" is performed
to satisfy the target.</p>
<p>If the flag is not provided on the command line, then its default
value depends on the operating system where rclone runs: "true" on
Windows and macOS, "false" otherwise. If the flag is provided without a
value, then it is "true".</p>
<p>The <code>--no-unicode-normalization</code> flag controls whether a
similar "fixup" is performed for filenames that differ but are <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_equivalence">canonically
equivalent</a> with respect to unicode. Unicode normalization can be
particularly helpful for users of macOS, which prefers form NFD instead
of the NFC used by most other platforms. It is therefore highly
recommended to keep the default of <code>false</code> on macOS, to avoid
encoding compatibility issues.</p>
<p>In the (probably unlikely) event that a directory has multiple
duplicate filenames after applying case and unicode normalization, the
<code>--vfs-block-norm-dupes</code> flag allows hiding these duplicates.
This comes with a performance tradeoff, as rclone will have to scan the
entire directory for duplicates when listing a directory. For this
reason, it is recommended to leave this disabled if not needed. However,
macOS users may wish to consider using it, as otherwise, if a remote
directory contains both NFC and NFD versions of the same filename, an
odd situation will occur: both versions of the file will be visible in
the mount, and both will appear to be editable, however, editing either
version will actually result in only the NFD version getting edited
under the hood. <code>--vfs-block- norm-dupes</code> prevents this
confusion by detecting this scenario, hiding the duplicates, and logging
an error, similar to how this is handled in
<code>rclone sync</code>.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-disk-options-6">VFS Disk Options</h2>
<p>This flag allows you to manually set the statistics about the filing
system. It can be useful when those statistics cannot be read correctly
automatically.</p>
<pre><code>--vfs-disk-space-total-size Manually set the total disk space size (example: 256G, default: -1)</code></pre>
<h2 id="alternate-report-of-used-bytes-6">Alternate report of used
bytes</h2>
<p>Some backends, most notably S3, do not report the amount of bytes
used. If you need this information to be available when running
<code>df</code> on the filesystem, then pass the flag
<code>--vfs-used-is-size</code> to rclone. With this flag set, instead
of relying on the backend to report this information, rclone will scan
the whole remote similar to <code>rclone size</code> and compute the
total used space itself.</p>
<p><em>WARNING.</em> Contrary to <code>rclone size</code>, this flag
ignores filters so that the result is accurate. However, this is very
inefficient and may cost lots of API calls resulting in extra charges.
Use it as a last resort and only with caching.</p>

<h1 id="rclone-serve-restic">rclone serve restic</h1>
<p>Serve the remote for restic's REST API.</p>
<h2 id="synopsis-68">Synopsis</h2>
<p>Run a basic web server to serve a remote over restic's REST backend
API over HTTP. This allows restic to use rclone as a data storage
mechanism for cloud providers that restic does not support directly.</p>
<p><a href="https://restic.net/">Restic</a> is a command-line program
for doing backups.</p>
<p>The server will log errors. Use -v to see access logs.</p>
<p><code>--bwlimit</code> will be respected for file transfers. Use
<code>--stats</code> to control the stats printing.</p>
<h2 id="setting-up-rclone-for-use-by-restic">Setting up rclone for use
by restic</h2>
<p>First <a href="https://rclone.org/docs/#configure">set up a remote
for your chosen cloud provider</a>.</p>
<p>Once you have set up the remote, check it is working with, for
example "rclone lsd remote:". You may have called the remote something
other than "remote:" - just substitute whatever you called it in the
following instructions.</p>
<p>Now start the rclone restic server</p>
<pre><code>rclone serve restic -v remote:backup</code></pre>
<p>Where you can replace "backup" in the above by whatever path in the
remote you wish to use.</p>
<p>By default this will serve on "localhost:8080" you can change this
with use of the <code>--addr</code> flag.</p>
<p>You might wish to start this server on boot.</p>
<p>Adding <code>--cache-objects=false</code> will cause rclone to stop
caching objects returned from the List call. Caching is normally
desirable as it speeds up downloading objects, saves transactions and
uses very little memory.</p>
<h2 id="setting-up-restic-to-use-rclone">Setting up restic to use
rclone</h2>
<p>Now you can <a
href="http://restic.readthedocs.io/en/latest/030_preparing_a_new_repo.html#rest-server">follow
the restic instructions</a> on setting up restic.</p>
<p>Note that you will need restic 0.8.2 or later to interoperate with
rclone.</p>
<p>For the example above you will want to use "http://localhost:8080/"
as the URL for the REST server.</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<pre><code>$ export RESTIC_REPOSITORY=rest:http://localhost:8080/
$ export RESTIC_PASSWORD=yourpassword
$ restic init
created restic backend 8b1a4b56ae at rest:http://localhost:8080/
Please note that knowledge of your password is required to access
the repository. Losing your password means that your data is
irrecoverably lost.
$ restic backup /path/to/files/to/backup
scan [/path/to/files/to/backup]
scanned 189 directories, 312 files in 0:00
[0:00] 100.00% 38.128 MiB / 38.128 MiB 501 / 501 items 0 errors ETA 0:00
duration: 0:00
snapshot 45c8fdd8 saved</code></pre>
<h3 id="multiple-repositories">Multiple repositories</h3>
<p>Note that you can use the endpoint to host multiple repositories. Do
this by adding a directory name or path after the URL. Note that these
<strong>must</strong> end with /. Eg</p>
<pre><code>$ export RESTIC_REPOSITORY=rest:http://localhost:8080/user1repo/
# backup user1 stuff
$ export RESTIC_REPOSITORY=rest:http://localhost:8080/user2repo/
# backup user2 stuff</code></pre>
<h3 id="private-repositories">Private repositories</h3>
<p>The<code>--private-repos</code> flag can be used to limit users to
repositories starting with a path of
<code>/&lt;username&gt;/</code>.</p>
<h2 id="server-options-4">Server options</h2>
<p>Use <code>--addr</code> to specify which IP address and port the
server should listen on, eg <code>--addr 1.2.3.4:8000</code> or
<code>--addr :8080</code> to listen to all IPs. By default it only
listens on localhost. You can use port :0 to let the OS choose an
available port.</p>
<p>If you set <code>--addr</code> to listen on a public or LAN
accessible IP address then using Authentication is advised - see the
next section for info.</p>
<p>You can use a unix socket by setting the url to
<code>unix:///path/to/socket</code> or just by using an absolute path
name. Note that unix sockets bypass the authentication - this is
expected to be done with file system permissions.</p>
<p><code>--addr</code> may be repeated to listen on multiple
IPs/ports/sockets. Socket activation, described further below, can also
be used to accomplish the same.</p>
<p><code>--server-read-timeout</code> and
<code>--server-write-timeout</code> can be used to control the timeouts
on the server. Note that this is the total time for a transfer.</p>
<p><code>--max-header-bytes</code> controls the maximum number of bytes
the server will accept in the HTTP header.</p>
<p><code>--baseurl</code> controls the URL prefix that rclone serves
from. By default rclone will serve from the root. If you used
<code>--baseurl "/rclone"</code> then rclone would serve from a URL
starting with "/rclone/". This is useful if you wish to proxy rclone
serve. Rclone automatically inserts leading and trailing "/" on
<code>--baseurl</code>, so <code>--baseurl "rclone"</code>,
<code>--baseurl "/rclone"</code> and <code>--baseurl "/rclone/"</code>
are all treated identically.</p>
<h3 id="tls-ssl-2">TLS (SSL)</h3>
<p>By default this will serve over http. If you want you can serve over
https. You will need to supply the <code>--cert</code> and
<code>--key</code> flags. If you wish to do client side certificate
validation then you will need to supply <code>--client-ca</code>
also.</p>
<p><code>--cert</code> should be a either a PEM encoded certificate or a
concatenation of that with the CA certificate. <code>--key</code> should
be the PEM encoded private key and <code>--client-ca</code> should be
the PEM encoded client certificate authority certificate.</p>
<p><code>--min-tls-version</code> is minimum TLS version that is
acceptable. Valid values are "tls1.0", "tls1.1", "tls1.2" and "tls1.3"
(default "tls1.0").</p>
<h2 id="socket-activation-2">Socket activation</h2>
<p>Instead of the listening addresses specified above, rclone will
listen to all FDs passed by the service manager, if any (and ignore any
arguments passed by --addr`).</p>
<p>This allows rclone to be a socket-activated service. It can be
configured with .socket and .service unit files as described in
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd.socket.html</p>
<p>Socket activation can be tested ad-hoc with the
<code>systemd-socket-activate</code>command</p>
<pre><code> systemd-socket-activate -l 8000 -- rclone serve</code></pre>
<p>This will socket-activate rclone on the first connection to port 8000
over TCP. ### Authentication</p>
<p>By default this will serve files without needing a login.</p>
<p>You can either use an htpasswd file which can take lots of users, or
set a single username and password with the <code>--user</code> and
<code>--pass</code> flags.</p>
<p>If no static users are configured by either of the above methods, and
client certificates are required by the <code>--client-ca</code> flag
passed to the server, the client certificate common name will be
considered as the username.</p>
<p>Use <code>--htpasswd /path/to/htpasswd</code> to provide an htpasswd
file. This is in standard apache format and supports MD5, SHA1 and
BCrypt for basic authentication. Bcrypt is recommended.</p>
<p>To create an htpasswd file:</p>
<pre><code>touch htpasswd
htpasswd -B htpasswd user
htpasswd -B htpasswd anotherUser</code></pre>
<p>The password file can be updated while rclone is running.</p>
<p>Use <code>--realm</code> to set the authentication realm.</p>
<p>Use <code>--salt</code> to change the password hashing salt from the
default.</p>
<pre><code>rclone serve restic remote:path [flags]</code></pre>

<h2 id="synopsis-69">Synopsis</h2>
<p><code>serve s3</code> implements a basic s3 server that serves a
remote via s3. This can be viewed with an s3 client, or you can make an
<a href="https://rclone.org/s3/">s3 type remote</a> to read and write to
it with rclone.</p>
<p><code>serve s3</code> is considered <strong>Experimental</strong> so
use with care.</p>
<p>S3 server supports Signature Version 4 authentication. Just use
<code>--auth-key accessKey,secretKey</code> and set the
<code>Authorization</code> header correctly in the request. (See the <a
href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signature-version-4.html">AWS
docs</a>).</p>
<p><code>--auth-key</code> can be repeated for multiple auth pairs. If
<code>--auth-key</code> is not provided then <code>serve s3</code> will
allow anonymous access.</p>
<p>Please note that some clients may require HTTPS endpoints. See <a
href="#ssl-tls">the SSL docs</a> for more information.</p>
<p>This command uses the <a href="#vfs-virtual-file-system">VFS
directory cache</a>. All the functionality will work with
<code>--vfs-cache-mode off</code>. Using
<code>--vfs-cache-mode full</code> (or <code>writes</code>) can be used
to cache objects locally to improve performance.</p>
<p>Use <code>--force-path-style=false</code> if you want to use the
bucket name as a part of the hostname (such as mybucket.local)</p>
<p>Use <code>--etag-hash</code> if you want to change the hash uses for
the <code>ETag</code>. Note that using anything other than
<code>MD5</code> (the default) is likely to cause problems for S3
clients which rely on the Etag being the MD5.</p>
<h2 id="quickstart-1">Quickstart</h2>
<p>For a simple set up, to serve <code>remote:path</code> over s3, run
the server like this:</p>
<pre><code>rclone serve s3 --auth-key ACCESS_KEY_ID,SECRET_ACCESS_KEY remote:path</code></pre>
<p>For example, to use a simple folder in the filesystem, run the server
with a command like this:</p>
<pre><code>rclone serve s3 --auth-key ACCESS_KEY_ID,SECRET_ACCESS_KEY local:/path/to/folder</code></pre>
<p>The <code>rclone.conf</code> for the server could look like this:</p>
<pre><code>[local]
type = local</code></pre>
<p>The <code>local</code> configuration is optional though. If you run
the server with a <code>remote:path</code> like
<code>/path/to/folder</code> (without the <code>local:</code> prefix and
without an <code>rclone.conf</code> file), rclone will fall back to a
default configuration, which will be visible as a warning in the logs.
But it will run nonetheless.</p>
<p>This will be compatible with an rclone (client) remote configuration
which is defined like this:</p>
<pre><code>[serves3]
type = s3
provider = Rclone
endpoint = http://127.0.0.1:8080/
access_key_id = ACCESS_KEY_ID
secret_access_key = SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
use_multipart_uploads = false</code></pre>
<p>Note that setting <code>disable_multipart_uploads = true</code> is to
work around <a href="#bugs">a bug</a> which will be fixed in due
course.</p>
<h2 id="bugs">Bugs</h2>
<p>When uploading multipart files <code>serve s3</code> holds all the
parts in memory (see <a
href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/7453">#7453</a>). This is
a limitaton of the library rclone uses for serving S3 and will hopefully
be fixed at some point.</p>
<p>Multipart server side copies do not work (see <a
href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/7454">#7454</a>). These
take a very long time and eventually fail. The default threshold for
multipart server side copies is 5G which is the maximum it can be, so
files above this side will fail to be server side copied.</p>
<p>For a current list of <code>serve s3</code> bugs see the <a
href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/labels/serve%20s3">serve s3</a>
bug category on GitHub.</p>
<h2 id="limitations-2">Limitations</h2>
<p><code>serve s3</code> will treat all directories in the root as
buckets and ignore all files in the root. You can use
<code>CreateBucket</code> to create folders under the root, but you
can't create empty folders under other folders not in the root.</p>
<p>When using <code>PutObject</code> or <code>DeleteObject</code>,
rclone will automatically create or clean up empty folders. If you don't
want to clean up empty folders automatically, use
<code>--no-cleanup</code>.</p>
<p>When using <code>ListObjects</code>, rclone will use <code>/</code>
when the delimiter is empty. This reduces backend requests with no
effect on most operations, but if the delimiter is something other than
<code>/</code> and empty, rclone will do a full recursive search of the
backend, which can take some time.</p>
<p>Versioning is not currently supported.</p>
<p>Metadata will only be saved in memory other than the rclone
<code>mtime</code> metadata which will be set as the modification time
of the file.</p>
<h2 id="supported-operations">Supported operations</h2>
<p><code>serve s3</code> currently supports the following
operations.</p>
<ul>
<li>Bucket
<ul>
<li><code>ListBuckets</code></li>
<li><code>CreateBucket</code></li>
<li><code>DeleteBucket</code></li>
</ul></li>
<li>Object
<ul>
<li><code>HeadObject</code></li>
<li><code>ListObjects</code></li>
<li><code>GetObject</code></li>
<li><code>PutObject</code></li>
<li><code>DeleteObject</code></li>
<li><code>DeleteObjects</code></li>
<li><code>CreateMultipartUpload</code></li>
<li><code>CompleteMultipartUpload</code></li>
<li><code>AbortMultipartUpload</code></li>
<li><code>CopyObject</code></li>
<li><code>UploadPart</code></li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<p>Other operations will return error <code>Unimplemented</code>.</p>
<h3 id="authentication-3">Authentication</h3>
<p>By default this will serve files without needing a login.</p>
<p>You can either use an htpasswd file which can take lots of users, or
set a single username and password with the <code>--user</code> and
<code>--pass</code> flags.</p>
<p>If no static users are configured by either of the above methods, and
client certificates are required by the <code>--client-ca</code> flag
passed to the server, the client certificate common name will be
considered as the username.</p>
<p>Use <code>--htpasswd /path/to/htpasswd</code> to provide an htpasswd
file. This is in standard apache format and supports MD5, SHA1 and
BCrypt for basic authentication. Bcrypt is recommended.</p>
<p>To create an htpasswd file:</p>
<pre><code>touch htpasswd
htpasswd -B htpasswd user
htpasswd -B htpasswd anotherUser</code></pre>
<p>The password file can be updated while rclone is running.</p>
<p>Use <code>--realm</code> to set the authentication realm.</p>
<p>Use <code>--salt</code> to change the password hashing salt from the
default.</p>
<h2 id="server-options-5">Server options</h2>
<p>Use <code>--addr</code> to specify which IP address and port the
server should listen on, eg <code>--addr 1.2.3.4:8000</code> or
<code>--addr :8080</code> to listen to all IPs. By default it only
listens on localhost. You can use port :0 to let the OS choose an
available port.</p>
<p>If you set <code>--addr</code> to listen on a public or LAN
accessible IP address then using Authentication is advised - see the
next section for info.</p>
<p>You can use a unix socket by setting the url to
<code>unix:///path/to/socket</code> or just by using an absolute path
name. Note that unix sockets bypass the authentication - this is
expected to be done with file system permissions.</p>
<p><code>--addr</code> may be repeated to listen on multiple
IPs/ports/sockets. Socket activation, described further below, can also
be used to accomplish the same.</p>
<p><code>--server-read-timeout</code> and
<code>--server-write-timeout</code> can be used to control the timeouts
on the server. Note that this is the total time for a transfer.</p>
<p><code>--max-header-bytes</code> controls the maximum number of bytes
the server will accept in the HTTP header.</p>
<p><code>--baseurl</code> controls the URL prefix that rclone serves
from. By default rclone will serve from the root. If you used
<code>--baseurl "/rclone"</code> then rclone would serve from a URL
starting with "/rclone/". This is useful if you wish to proxy rclone
serve. Rclone automatically inserts leading and trailing "/" on
<code>--baseurl</code>, so <code>--baseurl "rclone"</code>,
<code>--baseurl "/rclone"</code> and <code>--baseurl "/rclone/"</code>
are all treated identically.</p>
<h3 id="tls-ssl-3">TLS (SSL)</h3>
<p>By default this will serve over http. If you want you can serve over
https. You will need to supply the <code>--cert</code> and
<code>--key</code> flags. If you wish to do client side certificate
validation then you will need to supply <code>--client-ca</code>
also.</p>
<p><code>--cert</code> should be a either a PEM encoded certificate or a
concatenation of that with the CA certificate. <code>--key</code> should
be the PEM encoded private key and <code>--client-ca</code> should be
the PEM encoded client certificate authority certificate.</p>
<p><code>--min-tls-version</code> is minimum TLS version that is
acceptable. Valid values are "tls1.0", "tls1.1", "tls1.2" and "tls1.3"
(default "tls1.0").</p>
<h2 id="socket-activation-3">Socket activation</h2>
<p>Instead of the listening addresses specified above, rclone will
listen to all FDs passed by the service manager, if any (and ignore any
arguments passed by --addr`).</p>
<p>This allows rclone to be a socket-activated service. It can be
configured with .socket and .service unit files as described in
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd.socket.html</p>
<p>Socket activation can be tested ad-hoc with the
<code>systemd-socket-activate</code>command</p>
<pre><code> systemd-socket-activate -l 8000 -- rclone serve</code></pre>
<p>This will socket-activate rclone on the first connection to port 8000
over TCP. ## VFS - Virtual File System</p>
<p>This command uses the VFS layer. This adapts the cloud storage
objects that rclone uses into something which looks much more like a
disk filing system.</p>
<p>Cloud storage objects have lots of properties which aren't like disk
files - you can't extend them or write to the middle of them, so the VFS
layer has to deal with that. Because there is no one right way of doing
this there are various options explained below.</p>
<p>The VFS layer also implements a directory cache - this caches info
about files and directories (but not the data) in memory.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-directory-cache-7">VFS Directory Cache</h2>
<p>Using the <code>--dir-cache-time</code> flag, you can control how
long a directory should be considered up to date and not refreshed from
the backend. Changes made through the VFS will appear immediately or
invalidate the cache.</p>
<pre><code>--dir-cache-time duration Time to cache directory entries for (default 5m0s)
--poll-interval duration Time to wait between polling for changes. Must be smaller than dir-cache-time. Only on supported remotes. Set to 0 to disable (default 1m0s)</code></pre>
<p>However, changes made directly on the cloud storage by the web
interface or a different copy of rclone will only be picked up once the
directory cache expires if the backend configured does not support
polling for changes. If the backend supports polling, changes will be
picked up within the polling interval.</p>
<p>You can send a <code>SIGHUP</code> signal to rclone for it to flush
all directory caches, regardless of how old they are. Assuming only one
rclone instance is running, you can reset the cache like this:</p>
<pre><code>kill -SIGHUP $(pidof rclone)</code></pre>
<p>If you configure rclone with a <a href="/rc">remote control</a> then
you can use rclone rc to flush the whole directory cache:</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/forget</code></pre>
<p>Or individual files or directories:</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/forget file=path/to/file dir=path/to/dir</code></pre>
<h2 id="vfs-file-buffering-7">VFS File Buffering</h2>
<p>The <code>--buffer-size</code> flag determines the amount of memory,
that will be used to buffer data in advance.</p>
<p>Each open file will try to keep the specified amount of data in
memory at all times. The buffered data is bound to one open file and
won't be shared.</p>
<p>This flag is a upper limit for the used memory per open file. The
buffer will only use memory for data that is downloaded but not not yet
read. If the buffer is empty, only a small amount of memory will be
used.</p>
<p>The maximum memory used by rclone for buffering can be up to
<code>--buffer-size * open files</code>.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-file-caching-7">VFS File Caching</h2>
<p>These flags control the VFS file caching options. File caching is
necessary to make the VFS layer appear compatible with a normal file
system. It can be disabled at the cost of some compatibility.</p>
<p>For example you'll need to enable VFS caching if you want to read and
write simultaneously to a file. See below for more details.</p>
<p>Note that the VFS cache is separate from the cache backend and you
may find that you need one or the other or both.</p>
<pre><code>--cache-dir string Directory rclone will use for caching.
--vfs-cache-mode CacheMode Cache mode off|minimal|writes|full (default off)
--vfs-cache-max-age duration Max time since last access of objects in the cache (default 1h0m0s)
--vfs-cache-max-size SizeSuffix Max total size of objects in the cache (default off)
--vfs-cache-min-free-space SizeSuffix Target minimum free space on the disk containing the cache (default off)
--vfs-cache-poll-interval duration Interval to poll the cache for stale objects (default 1m0s)
--vfs-write-back duration Time to writeback files after last use when using cache (default 5s)</code></pre>
<p>If run with <code>-vv</code> rclone will print the location of the
file cache. The files are stored in the user cache file area which is OS
dependent but can be controlled with <code>--cache-dir</code> or setting
the appropriate environment variable.</p>
<p>The cache has 4 different modes selected by
<code>--vfs-cache-mode</code>. The higher the cache mode the more
compatible rclone becomes at the cost of using disk space.</p>
<p>Note that files are written back to the remote only when they are
closed and if they haven't been accessed for
<code>--vfs-write-back</code> seconds. If rclone is quit or dies with
files that haven't been uploaded, these will be uploaded next time
rclone is run with the same flags.</p>
<p>If using <code>--vfs-cache-max-size</code> or
<code>--vfs-cache-min-free-size</code> note that the cache may exceed
these quotas for two reasons. Firstly because it is only checked every
<code>--vfs-cache-poll-interval</code>. Secondly because open files
cannot be evicted from the cache. When <code>--vfs-cache-max-size</code>
or <code>--vfs-cache-min-free-size</code> is exceeded, rclone will
attempt to evict the least accessed files from the cache first. rclone
will start with files that haven't been accessed for the longest. This
cache flushing strategy is efficient and more relevant files are likely
to remain cached.</p>
<p>The <code>--vfs-cache-max-age</code> will evict files from the cache
after the set time since last access has passed. The default value of 1
hour will start evicting files from cache that haven't been accessed for
1 hour. When a cached file is accessed the 1 hour timer is reset to 0
and will wait for 1 more hour before evicting. Specify the time with
standard notation, s, m, h, d, w .</p>
<p>You <strong>should not</strong> run two copies of rclone using the
same VFS cache with the same or overlapping remotes if using
<code>--vfs-cache-mode &gt; off</code>. This can potentially cause data
corruption if you do. You can work around this by giving each rclone its
own cache hierarchy with <code>--cache-dir</code>. You don't need to
worry about this if the remotes in use don't overlap.</p>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-off-7">--vfs-cache-mode off</h3>
<p>In this mode (the default) the cache will read directly from the
remote and write directly to the remote without caching anything on
disk.</p>
<p>This will mean some operations are not possible</p>
<ul>
<li>Files can't be opened for both read AND write</li>
<li>Files opened for write can't be seeked</li>
<li>Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set</li>
<li>Files open for read with O_TRUNC will be opened write only</li>
<li>Files open for write only will behave as if O_TRUNC was
supplied</li>
<li>Open modes O_APPEND, O_TRUNC are ignored</li>
<li>If an upload fails it can't be retried</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-minimal-7">--vfs-cache-mode minimal</h3>
<p>This is very similar to "off" except that files opened for read AND
write will be buffered to disk. This means that files opened for write
will be a lot more compatible, but uses the minimal disk space.</p>
<p>These operations are not possible</p>
<ul>
<li>Files opened for write only can't be seeked</li>
<li>Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set</li>
<li>Files opened for write only will ignore O_APPEND, O_TRUNC</li>
<li>If an upload fails it can't be retried</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-writes-7">--vfs-cache-mode writes</h3>
<p>In this mode files opened for read only are still read directly from
the remote, write only and read/write files are buffered to disk
first.</p>
<p>This mode should support all normal file system operations.</p>
<p>If an upload fails it will be retried at exponentially increasing
intervals up to 1 minute.</p>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-full-7">--vfs-cache-mode full</h3>
<p>In this mode all reads and writes are buffered to and from disk. When
data is read from the remote this is buffered to disk as well.</p>
<p>In this mode the files in the cache will be sparse files and rclone
will keep track of which bits of the files it has downloaded.</p>
<p>So if an application only reads the starts of each file, then rclone
will only buffer the start of the file. These files will appear to be
their full size in the cache, but they will be sparse files with only
the data that has been downloaded present in them.</p>
<p>This mode should support all normal file system operations and is
otherwise identical to <code>--vfs-cache-mode</code> writes.</p>
<p>When reading a file rclone will read <code>--buffer-size</code> plus
<code>--vfs-read-ahead</code> bytes ahead. The
<code>--buffer-size</code> is buffered in memory whereas the
<code>--vfs-read-ahead</code> is buffered on disk.</p>
<p>When using this mode it is recommended that
<code>--buffer-size</code> is not set too large and
<code>--vfs-read-ahead</code> is set large if required.</p>
<p><strong>IMPORTANT</strong> not all file systems support sparse files.
In particular FAT/exFAT do not. Rclone will perform very badly if the
cache directory is on a filesystem which doesn't support sparse files
and it will log an ERROR message if one is detected.</p>
<h3 id="fingerprinting-7">Fingerprinting</h3>
<p>Various parts of the VFS use fingerprinting to see if a local file
copy has changed relative to a remote file. Fingerprints are made
from:</p>
<ul>
<li>size</li>
<li>modification time</li>
<li>hash</li>
</ul>
<p>where available on an object.</p>
<p>On some backends some of these attributes are slow to read (they take
an extra API call per object, or extra work per object).</p>
<p>For example <code>hash</code> is slow with the <code>local</code> and
<code>sftp</code> backends as they have to read the entire file and hash
it, and <code>modtime</code> is slow with the <code>s3</code>,
<code>swift</code>, <code>ftp</code> and <code>qinqstor</code> backends
because they need to do an extra API call to fetch it.</p>
<p>If you use the <code>--vfs-fast-fingerprint</code> flag then rclone
will not include the slow operations in the fingerprint. This makes the
fingerprinting less accurate but much faster and will improve the
opening time of cached files.</p>
<p>If you are running a vfs cache over <code>local</code>,
<code>s3</code> or <code>swift</code> backends then using this flag is
recommended.</p>
<p>Note that if you change the value of this flag, the fingerprints of
the files in the cache may be invalidated and the files will need to be
downloaded again.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-chunked-reading-7">VFS Chunked Reading</h2>
<p>When rclone reads files from a remote it reads them in chunks. This
means that rather than requesting the whole file rclone reads the chunk
specified. This can reduce the used download quota for some remotes by
requesting only chunks from the remote that are actually read, at the
cost of an increased number of requests.</p>
<p>These flags control the chunking:</p>
<pre><code>--vfs-read-chunk-size SizeSuffix Read the source objects in chunks (default 128M)
--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit SizeSuffix Max chunk doubling size (default off)
--vfs-read-chunk-streams int The number of parallel streams to read at once</code></pre>
<p>The chunking behaves differently depending on the
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> parameter.</p>
<h3
id="vfs-read-chunk-streams-0-14"><code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code>
== 0</h3>
<p>Rclone will start reading a chunk of size
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code>, and then double the size for each
read. When <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit</code> is specified, and
greater than <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code>, the chunk size for each
open file will get doubled only until the specified value is reached. If
the value is "off", which is the default, the limit is disabled and the
chunk size will grow indefinitely.</p>
<p>With <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size 100M</code> and
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 0</code> the following parts will be
downloaded: 0-100M, 100M-200M, 200M-300M, 300M-400M and so on. When
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 500M</code> is specified, the result
would be 0-100M, 100M-300M, 300M-700M, 700M-1200M, 1200M-1700M and so
on.</p>
<p>Setting <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code> to <code>0</code> or "off"
disables chunked reading.</p>
<p>The chunks will not be buffered in memory.</p>
<h3
id="vfs-read-chunk-streams-0-15"><code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code>
&gt; 0</h3>
<p>Rclone reads <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> chunks of size
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code> concurrently. The size for each read
will stay constant.</p>
<p>This improves performance performance massively on high latency links
or very high bandwidth links to high performance object stores.</p>
<p>Some experimentation will be needed to find the optimum values of
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code> and
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> as these will depend on the
backend in use and the latency to the backend.</p>
<p>For high performance object stores (eg AWS S3) a reasonable place to
start might be <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams 16</code> and
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size 4M</code>. In testing with AWS S3 the
performance scaled roughly as the <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code>
setting.</p>
<p>Similar settings should work for high latency links, but depending on
the latency they may need more <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> in
order to get the throughput.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-performance-7">VFS Performance</h2>
<p>These flags may be used to enable/disable features of the VFS for
performance or other reasons. See also the <a
href="#vfs-chunked-reading">chunked reading</a> feature.</p>
<p>In particular S3 and Swift benefit hugely from the
<code>--no-modtime</code> flag (or use <code>--use-server-modtime</code>
for a slightly different effect) as each read of the modification time
takes a transaction.</p>
<pre><code>--no-checksum Don&#39;t compare checksums on up/download.
--no-modtime Don&#39;t read/write the modification time (can speed things up).
--no-seek Don&#39;t allow seeking in files.
--read-only Only allow read-only access.</code></pre>
<p>Sometimes rclone is delivered reads or writes out of order. Rather
than seeking rclone will wait a short time for the in sequence read or
write to come in. These flags only come into effect when not using an on
disk cache file.</p>
<pre><code>--vfs-read-wait duration Time to wait for in-sequence read before seeking (default 20ms)
--vfs-write-wait duration Time to wait for in-sequence write before giving error (default 1s)</code></pre>
<p>When using VFS write caching (<code>--vfs-cache-mode</code> with
value writes or full), the global flag <code>--transfers</code> can be
set to adjust the number of parallel uploads of modified files from the
cache (the related global flag <code>--checkers</code> has no effect on
the VFS).</p>
<pre><code>--transfers int Number of file transfers to run in parallel (default 4)</code></pre>
<h2 id="vfs-case-sensitivity-7">VFS Case Sensitivity</h2>
<p>Linux file systems are case-sensitive: two files can differ only by
case, and the exact case must be used when opening a file.</p>
<p>File systems in modern Windows are case-insensitive but
case-preserving: although existing files can be opened using any case,
the exact case used to create the file is preserved and available for
programs to query. It is not allowed for two files in the same directory
to differ only by case.</p>
<p>Usually file systems on macOS are case-insensitive. It is possible to
make macOS file systems case-sensitive but that is not the default.</p>
<p>The <code>--vfs-case-insensitive</code> VFS flag controls how rclone
handles these two cases. If its value is "false", rclone passes file
names to the remote as-is. If the flag is "true" (or appears without a
value on the command line), rclone may perform a "fixup" as explained
below.</p>
<p>The user may specify a file name to open/delete/rename/etc with a
case different than what is stored on the remote. If an argument refers
to an existing file with exactly the same name, then the case of the
existing file on the disk will be used. However, if a file name with
exactly the same name is not found but a name differing only by case
exists, rclone will transparently fixup the name. This fixup happens
only when an existing file is requested. Case sensitivity of file names
created anew by rclone is controlled by the underlying remote.</p>
<p>Note that case sensitivity of the operating system running rclone
(the target) may differ from case sensitivity of a file system presented
by rclone (the source). The flag controls whether "fixup" is performed
to satisfy the target.</p>
<p>If the flag is not provided on the command line, then its default
value depends on the operating system where rclone runs: "true" on
Windows and macOS, "false" otherwise. If the flag is provided without a
value, then it is "true".</p>
<p>The <code>--no-unicode-normalization</code> flag controls whether a
similar "fixup" is performed for filenames that differ but are <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_equivalence">canonically
equivalent</a> with respect to unicode. Unicode normalization can be
particularly helpful for users of macOS, which prefers form NFD instead
of the NFC used by most other platforms. It is therefore highly
recommended to keep the default of <code>false</code> on macOS, to avoid
encoding compatibility issues.</p>
<p>In the (probably unlikely) event that a directory has multiple
duplicate filenames after applying case and unicode normalization, the
<code>--vfs-block-norm-dupes</code> flag allows hiding these duplicates.
This comes with a performance tradeoff, as rclone will have to scan the
entire directory for duplicates when listing a directory. For this
reason, it is recommended to leave this disabled if not needed. However,
macOS users may wish to consider using it, as otherwise, if a remote
directory contains both NFC and NFD versions of the same filename, an
odd situation will occur: both versions of the file will be visible in
the mount, and both will appear to be editable, however, editing either
version will actually result in only the NFD version getting edited
under the hood. <code>--vfs-block- norm-dupes</code> prevents this
confusion by detecting this scenario, hiding the duplicates, and logging

of relying on the backend to report this information, rclone will scan
the whole remote similar to <code>rclone size</code> and compute the
total used space itself.</p>
<p><em>WARNING.</em> Contrary to <code>rclone size</code>, this flag
ignores filters so that the result is accurate. However, this is very
inefficient and may cost lots of API calls resulting in extra charges.
Use it as a last resort and only with caching.</p>

<h1 id="rclone-serve-sftp">rclone serve sftp</h1>
<p>Serve the remote over SFTP.</p>
<h2 id="synopsis-70">Synopsis</h2>
<p>Run an SFTP server to serve a remote over SFTP. This can be used with
an SFTP client or you can make a remote of type <a href="/sftp">sftp</a>
to use with it.</p>
<p>You can use the <a href="/filtering">filter</a> flags (e.g.
<code>--include</code>, <code>--exclude</code>) to control what is
served.</p>
<p>The server will respond to a small number of shell commands, mainly
md5sum, sha1sum and df, which enable it to provide support for checksums
and the about feature when accessed from an sftp remote.</p>
<p>Note that this server uses standard 32 KiB packet payload size, which
means you must not configure the client to expect anything else, e.g.
with the <a
href="https://rclone.org/sftp/#sftp-chunk-size">chunk_size</a> option on
an sftp remote.</p>
<p>The server will log errors. Use <code>-v</code> to see access
logs.</p>
<p><code>--bwlimit</code> will be respected for file transfers. Use
<code>--stats</code> to control the stats printing.</p>
<p>You must provide some means of authentication, either with
<code>--user</code>/<code>--pass</code>, an authorized keys file
(specify location with <code>--authorized-keys</code> - the default is
the same as ssh), an <code>--auth-proxy</code>, or set the
<code>--no-auth</code> flag for no authentication when logging in.</p>
<p>If you don't supply a host <code>--key</code> then rclone will
generate rsa, ecdsa and ed25519 variants, and cache them for later use
in rclone's cache directory (see
<code>rclone help flags cache-dir</code>) in the "serve-sftp"
directory.</p>
<p>By default the server binds to localhost:2022 - if you want it to be
reachable externally then supply <code>--addr :2022</code> for
example.</p>
<p>This also supports being run with socket activation, in which case it
will listen on the first passed FD. It can be configured with .socket
and .service unit files as described in
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd.socket.html</p>
<p>Socket activation can be tested ad-hoc with the
<code>systemd-socket-activate</code>command:</p>
<pre><code>systemd-socket-activate -l 2222 -- rclone serve sftp :local:vfs/</code></pre>
<p>This will socket-activate rclone on the first connection to port 2222
over TCP.</p>
<p>Note that the default of <code>--vfs-cache-mode off</code> is fine
for the rclone sftp backend, but it may not be with other SFTP
clients.</p>
<p>If <code>--stdio</code> is specified, rclone will serve SFTP over
stdio, which can be used with sshd via ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, for
example:</p>
<pre><code>restrict,command=&quot;rclone serve sftp --stdio ./photos&quot; ssh-rsa ...</code></pre>
<p>On the client you need to set <code>--transfers 1</code> when using
<code>--stdio</code>. Otherwise multiple instances of the rclone server
are started by OpenSSH which can lead to "corrupted on transfer" errors.
This is the case because the client chooses indiscriminately which
server to send commands to while the servers all have different views of
the state of the filing system.</p>
<p>The "restrict" in authorized_keys prevents SHA1SUMs and MD5SUMs from
being used. Omitting "restrict" and using
<code>--sftp-path-override</code> to enable checksumming is possible but
less secure and you could use the SFTP server provided by OpenSSH in
this case.</p>
<h2 id="vfs---virtual-file-system-7">VFS - Virtual File System</h2>
<p>This command uses the VFS layer. This adapts the cloud storage
objects that rclone uses into something which looks much more like a
disk filing system.</p>
<p>Cloud storage objects have lots of properties which aren't like disk
files - you can't extend them or write to the middle of them, so the VFS
layer has to deal with that. Because there is no one right way of doing
this there are various options explained below.</p>
<p>The VFS layer also implements a directory cache - this caches info
about files and directories (but not the data) in memory.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-directory-cache-8">VFS Directory Cache</h2>
<p>Using the <code>--dir-cache-time</code> flag, you can control how
long a directory should be considered up to date and not refreshed from
the backend. Changes made through the VFS will appear immediately or
invalidate the cache.</p>
<pre><code>--dir-cache-time duration Time to cache directory entries for (default 5m0s)
--poll-interval duration Time to wait between polling for changes. Must be smaller than dir-cache-time. Only on supported remotes. Set to 0 to disable (default 1m0s)</code></pre>
<p>However, changes made directly on the cloud storage by the web
interface or a different copy of rclone will only be picked up once the
directory cache expires if the backend configured does not support
polling for changes. If the backend supports polling, changes will be
picked up within the polling interval.</p>
<p>You can send a <code>SIGHUP</code> signal to rclone for it to flush
all directory caches, regardless of how old they are. Assuming only one
rclone instance is running, you can reset the cache like this:</p>
<pre><code>kill -SIGHUP $(pidof rclone)</code></pre>
<p>If you configure rclone with a <a href="/rc">remote control</a> then
you can use rclone rc to flush the whole directory cache:</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/forget</code></pre>
<p>Or individual files or directories:</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/forget file=path/to/file dir=path/to/dir</code></pre>
<h2 id="vfs-file-buffering-8">VFS File Buffering</h2>
<p>The <code>--buffer-size</code> flag determines the amount of memory,
that will be used to buffer data in advance.</p>
<p>Each open file will try to keep the specified amount of data in
memory at all times. The buffered data is bound to one open file and
won't be shared.</p>
<p>This flag is a upper limit for the used memory per open file. The
buffer will only use memory for data that is downloaded but not not yet
read. If the buffer is empty, only a small amount of memory will be
used.</p>
<p>The maximum memory used by rclone for buffering can be up to
<code>--buffer-size * open files</code>.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-file-caching-8">VFS File Caching</h2>
<p>These flags control the VFS file caching options. File caching is
necessary to make the VFS layer appear compatible with a normal file
system. It can be disabled at the cost of some compatibility.</p>
<p>For example you'll need to enable VFS caching if you want to read and
write simultaneously to a file. See below for more details.</p>
<p>Note that the VFS cache is separate from the cache backend and you
may find that you need one or the other or both.</p>
<pre><code>--cache-dir string Directory rclone will use for caching.
--vfs-cache-mode CacheMode Cache mode off|minimal|writes|full (default off)
--vfs-cache-max-age duration Max time since last access of objects in the cache (default 1h0m0s)
--vfs-cache-max-size SizeSuffix Max total size of objects in the cache (default off)
--vfs-cache-min-free-space SizeSuffix Target minimum free space on the disk containing the cache (default off)
--vfs-cache-poll-interval duration Interval to poll the cache for stale objects (default 1m0s)
--vfs-write-back duration Time to writeback files after last use when using cache (default 5s)</code></pre>
<p>If run with <code>-vv</code> rclone will print the location of the
file cache. The files are stored in the user cache file area which is OS
dependent but can be controlled with <code>--cache-dir</code> or setting
the appropriate environment variable.</p>
<p>The cache has 4 different modes selected by
<code>--vfs-cache-mode</code>. The higher the cache mode the more
compatible rclone becomes at the cost of using disk space.</p>
<p>Note that files are written back to the remote only when they are
closed and if they haven't been accessed for
<code>--vfs-write-back</code> seconds. If rclone is quit or dies with
files that haven't been uploaded, these will be uploaded next time
rclone is run with the same flags.</p>
<p>If using <code>--vfs-cache-max-size</code> or
<code>--vfs-cache-min-free-size</code> note that the cache may exceed
these quotas for two reasons. Firstly because it is only checked every
<code>--vfs-cache-poll-interval</code>. Secondly because open files
cannot be evicted from the cache. When <code>--vfs-cache-max-size</code>
or <code>--vfs-cache-min-free-size</code> is exceeded, rclone will
attempt to evict the least accessed files from the cache first. rclone
will start with files that haven't been accessed for the longest. This
cache flushing strategy is efficient and more relevant files are likely
to remain cached.</p>
<p>The <code>--vfs-cache-max-age</code> will evict files from the cache
after the set time since last access has passed. The default value of 1
hour will start evicting files from cache that haven't been accessed for
1 hour. When a cached file is accessed the 1 hour timer is reset to 0
and will wait for 1 more hour before evicting. Specify the time with
standard notation, s, m, h, d, w .</p>
<p>You <strong>should not</strong> run two copies of rclone using the
same VFS cache with the same or overlapping remotes if using
<code>--vfs-cache-mode &gt; off</code>. This can potentially cause data
corruption if you do. You can work around this by giving each rclone its
own cache hierarchy with <code>--cache-dir</code>. You don't need to
worry about this if the remotes in use don't overlap.</p>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-off-8">--vfs-cache-mode off</h3>
<p>In this mode (the default) the cache will read directly from the
remote and write directly to the remote without caching anything on
disk.</p>
<p>This will mean some operations are not possible</p>
<ul>
<li>Files can't be opened for both read AND write</li>
<li>Files opened for write can't be seeked</li>
<li>Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set</li>
<li>Files open for read with O_TRUNC will be opened write only</li>
<li>Files open for write only will behave as if O_TRUNC was
supplied</li>
<li>Open modes O_APPEND, O_TRUNC are ignored</li>
<li>If an upload fails it can't be retried</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-minimal-8">--vfs-cache-mode minimal</h3>
<p>This is very similar to "off" except that files opened for read AND
write will be buffered to disk. This means that files opened for write
will be a lot more compatible, but uses the minimal disk space.</p>
<p>These operations are not possible</p>
<ul>
<li>Files opened for write only can't be seeked</li>
<li>Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set</li>
<li>Files opened for write only will ignore O_APPEND, O_TRUNC</li>
<li>If an upload fails it can't be retried</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-writes-8">--vfs-cache-mode writes</h3>
<p>In this mode files opened for read only are still read directly from
the remote, write only and read/write files are buffered to disk
first.</p>
<p>This mode should support all normal file system operations.</p>
<p>If an upload fails it will be retried at exponentially increasing
intervals up to 1 minute.</p>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-full-8">--vfs-cache-mode full</h3>
<p>In this mode all reads and writes are buffered to and from disk. When
data is read from the remote this is buffered to disk as well.</p>
<p>In this mode the files in the cache will be sparse files and rclone
will keep track of which bits of the files it has downloaded.</p>
<p>So if an application only reads the starts of each file, then rclone
will only buffer the start of the file. These files will appear to be
their full size in the cache, but they will be sparse files with only
the data that has been downloaded present in them.</p>
<p>This mode should support all normal file system operations and is
otherwise identical to <code>--vfs-cache-mode</code> writes.</p>
<p>When reading a file rclone will read <code>--buffer-size</code> plus
<code>--vfs-read-ahead</code> bytes ahead. The
<code>--buffer-size</code> is buffered in memory whereas the
<code>--vfs-read-ahead</code> is buffered on disk.</p>
<p>When using this mode it is recommended that
<code>--buffer-size</code> is not set too large and
<code>--vfs-read-ahead</code> is set large if required.</p>
<p><strong>IMPORTANT</strong> not all file systems support sparse files.
In particular FAT/exFAT do not. Rclone will perform very badly if the
cache directory is on a filesystem which doesn't support sparse files
and it will log an ERROR message if one is detected.</p>
<h3 id="fingerprinting-8">Fingerprinting</h3>
<p>Various parts of the VFS use fingerprinting to see if a local file
copy has changed relative to a remote file. Fingerprints are made
from:</p>
<ul>
<li>size</li>
<li>modification time</li>
<li>hash</li>
</ul>
<p>where available on an object.</p>
<p>On some backends some of these attributes are slow to read (they take
an extra API call per object, or extra work per object).</p>
<p>For example <code>hash</code> is slow with the <code>local</code> and
<code>sftp</code> backends as they have to read the entire file and hash
it, and <code>modtime</code> is slow with the <code>s3</code>,
<code>swift</code>, <code>ftp</code> and <code>qinqstor</code> backends
because they need to do an extra API call to fetch it.</p>
<p>If you use the <code>--vfs-fast-fingerprint</code> flag then rclone
will not include the slow operations in the fingerprint. This makes the
fingerprinting less accurate but much faster and will improve the
opening time of cached files.</p>
<p>If you are running a vfs cache over <code>local</code>,
<code>s3</code> or <code>swift</code> backends then using this flag is
recommended.</p>
<p>Note that if you change the value of this flag, the fingerprints of
the files in the cache may be invalidated and the files will need to be
downloaded again.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-chunked-reading-8">VFS Chunked Reading</h2>
<p>When rclone reads files from a remote it reads them in chunks. This
means that rather than requesting the whole file rclone reads the chunk
specified. This can reduce the used download quota for some remotes by
requesting only chunks from the remote that are actually read, at the
cost of an increased number of requests.</p>
<p>These flags control the chunking:</p>
<pre><code>--vfs-read-chunk-size SizeSuffix Read the source objects in chunks (default 128M)
--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit SizeSuffix Max chunk doubling size (default off)
--vfs-read-chunk-streams int The number of parallel streams to read at once</code></pre>
<p>The chunking behaves differently depending on the
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> parameter.</p>
<h3
id="vfs-read-chunk-streams-0-16"><code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code>
== 0</h3>
<p>Rclone will start reading a chunk of size
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code>, and then double the size for each
read. When <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit</code> is specified, and
greater than <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code>, the chunk size for each
open file will get doubled only until the specified value is reached. If
the value is "off", which is the default, the limit is disabled and the
chunk size will grow indefinitely.</p>
<p>With <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size 100M</code> and
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 0</code> the following parts will be
downloaded: 0-100M, 100M-200M, 200M-300M, 300M-400M and so on. When
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 500M</code> is specified, the result
would be 0-100M, 100M-300M, 300M-700M, 700M-1200M, 1200M-1700M and so
on.</p>
<p>Setting <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code> to <code>0</code> or "off"
disables chunked reading.</p>
<p>The chunks will not be buffered in memory.</p>
<h3
id="vfs-read-chunk-streams-0-17"><code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code>
&gt; 0</h3>
<p>Rclone reads <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> chunks of size
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code> concurrently. The size for each read
will stay constant.</p>
<p>This improves performance performance massively on high latency links
or very high bandwidth links to high performance object stores.</p>
<p>Some experimentation will be needed to find the optimum values of
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code> and
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> as these will depend on the
backend in use and the latency to the backend.</p>
<p>For high performance object stores (eg AWS S3) a reasonable place to
start might be <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams 16</code> and
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size 4M</code>. In testing with AWS S3 the
performance scaled roughly as the <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code>
setting.</p>
<p>Similar settings should work for high latency links, but depending on
the latency they may need more <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> in
order to get the throughput.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-performance-8">VFS Performance</h2>
<p>These flags may be used to enable/disable features of the VFS for
performance or other reasons. See also the <a
href="#vfs-chunked-reading">chunked reading</a> feature.</p>
<p>In particular S3 and Swift benefit hugely from the
<code>--no-modtime</code> flag (or use <code>--use-server-modtime</code>
for a slightly different effect) as each read of the modification time
takes a transaction.</p>
<pre><code>--no-checksum Don&#39;t compare checksums on up/download.
--no-modtime Don&#39;t read/write the modification time (can speed things up).
--no-seek Don&#39;t allow seeking in files.
--read-only Only allow read-only access.</code></pre>
<p>Sometimes rclone is delivered reads or writes out of order. Rather
than seeking rclone will wait a short time for the in sequence read or
write to come in. These flags only come into effect when not using an on
disk cache file.</p>
<pre><code>--vfs-read-wait duration Time to wait for in-sequence read before seeking (default 20ms)
--vfs-write-wait duration Time to wait for in-sequence write before giving error (default 1s)</code></pre>
<p>When using VFS write caching (<code>--vfs-cache-mode</code> with
value writes or full), the global flag <code>--transfers</code> can be
set to adjust the number of parallel uploads of modified files from the
cache (the related global flag <code>--checkers</code> has no effect on
the VFS).</p>
<pre><code>--transfers int Number of file transfers to run in parallel (default 4)</code></pre>
<h2 id="vfs-case-sensitivity-8">VFS Case Sensitivity</h2>
<p>Linux file systems are case-sensitive: two files can differ only by
case, and the exact case must be used when opening a file.</p>
<p>File systems in modern Windows are case-insensitive but
case-preserving: although existing files can be opened using any case,
the exact case used to create the file is preserved and available for
programs to query. It is not allowed for two files in the same directory
to differ only by case.</p>
<p>Usually file systems on macOS are case-insensitive. It is possible to
make macOS file systems case-sensitive but that is not the default.</p>
<p>The <code>--vfs-case-insensitive</code> VFS flag controls how rclone
handles these two cases. If its value is "false", rclone passes file
names to the remote as-is. If the flag is "true" (or appears without a
value on the command line), rclone may perform a "fixup" as explained
below.</p>
<p>The user may specify a file name to open/delete/rename/etc with a
case different than what is stored on the remote. If an argument refers
to an existing file with exactly the same name, then the case of the
existing file on the disk will be used. However, if a file name with
exactly the same name is not found but a name differing only by case
exists, rclone will transparently fixup the name. This fixup happens
only when an existing file is requested. Case sensitivity of file names
created anew by rclone is controlled by the underlying remote.</p>
<p>Note that case sensitivity of the operating system running rclone
(the target) may differ from case sensitivity of a file system presented
by rclone (the source). The flag controls whether "fixup" is performed
to satisfy the target.</p>
<p>If the flag is not provided on the command line, then its default
value depends on the operating system where rclone runs: "true" on
Windows and macOS, "false" otherwise. If the flag is provided without a
value, then it is "true".</p>
<p>The <code>--no-unicode-normalization</code> flag controls whether a
similar "fixup" is performed for filenames that differ but are <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_equivalence">canonically
equivalent</a> with respect to unicode. Unicode normalization can be
particularly helpful for users of macOS, which prefers form NFD instead
of the NFC used by most other platforms. It is therefore highly
recommended to keep the default of <code>false</code> on macOS, to avoid
encoding compatibility issues.</p>
<p>In the (probably unlikely) event that a directory has multiple
duplicate filenames after applying case and unicode normalization, the
<code>--vfs-block-norm-dupes</code> flag allows hiding these duplicates.
This comes with a performance tradeoff, as rclone will have to scan the
entire directory for duplicates when listing a directory. For this
reason, it is recommended to leave this disabled if not needed. However,
macOS users may wish to consider using it, as otherwise, if a remote
directory contains both NFC and NFD versions of the same filename, an
odd situation will occur: both versions of the file will be visible in
the mount, and both will appear to be editable, however, editing either
version will actually result in only the NFD version getting edited
under the hood. <code>--vfs-block- norm-dupes</code> prevents this
confusion by detecting this scenario, hiding the duplicates, and logging
an error, similar to how this is handled in
<code>rclone sync</code>.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-disk-options-8">VFS Disk Options</h2>
<p>This flag allows you to manually set the statistics about the filing
system. It can be useful when those statistics cannot be read correctly
automatically.</p>
<pre><code>--vfs-disk-space-total-size Manually set the total disk space size (example: 256G, default: -1)</code></pre>
<h2 id="alternate-report-of-used-bytes-8">Alternate report of used
bytes</h2>
<p>Some backends, most notably S3, do not report the amount of bytes
used. If you need this information to be available when running
<code>df</code> on the filesystem, then pass the flag
<code>--vfs-used-is-size</code> to rclone. With this flag set, instead
of relying on the backend to report this information, rclone will scan
the whole remote similar to <code>rclone size</code> and compute the
total used space itself.</p>
<p><em>WARNING.</em> Contrary to <code>rclone size</code>, this flag
ignores filters so that the result is accurate. However, this is very
inefficient and may cost lots of API calls resulting in extra charges.
Use it as a last resort and only with caching.</p>
<h2 id="auth-proxy-2">Auth Proxy</h2>
<p>If you supply the parameter
<code>--auth-proxy /path/to/program</code> then rclone will use that
program to generate backends on the fly which then are used to
authenticate incoming requests. This uses a simple JSON based protocol
with input on STDIN and output on STDOUT.</p>
<p><strong>PLEASE NOTE:</strong> <code>--auth-proxy</code> and
<code>--authorized-keys</code> cannot be used together, if
<code>--auth-proxy</code> is set the authorized keys option will be
ignored.</p>
<p>There is an example program <a
href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/blob/master/bin/test_proxy.py">bin/test_proxy.py</a>
in the rclone source code.</p>
<p>The program's job is to take a <code>user</code> and
<code>pass</code> on the input and turn those into the config for a
backend on STDOUT in JSON format. This config will have any default
parameters for the backend added, but it won't use configuration from
environment variables or command line options - it is the job of the
proxy program to make a complete config.</p>
<p>This config generated must have this extra parameter -
<code>_root</code> - root to use for the backend</p>
<p>And it may have this parameter - <code>_obscure</code> - comma
separated strings for parameters to obscure</p>
<p>If password authentication was used by the client, input to the proxy
process (on STDIN) would look similar to this:</p>
<pre><code>{
&quot;user&quot;: &quot;me&quot;,
&quot;pass&quot;: &quot;mypassword&quot;
}</code></pre>
<p>If public-key authentication was used by the client, input to the
proxy process (on STDIN) would look similar to this:</p>
<pre><code>{
&quot;user&quot;: &quot;me&quot;,
&quot;public_key&quot;: &quot;AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQDuwESFdAe14hVS6omeyX7edc...JQdf&quot;
}</code></pre>
<p>And as an example return this on STDOUT</p>
<pre><code>{
&quot;type&quot;: &quot;sftp&quot;,
&quot;_root&quot;: &quot;&quot;,
&quot;_obscure&quot;: &quot;pass&quot;,
&quot;user&quot;: &quot;me&quot;,
&quot;pass&quot;: &quot;mypassword&quot;,
&quot;host&quot;: &quot;sftp.example.com&quot;
}</code></pre>
<p>This would mean that an SFTP backend would be created on the fly for
the <code>user</code> and <code>pass</code>/<code>public_key</code>
returned in the output to the host given. Note that since
<code>_obscure</code> is set to <code>pass</code>, rclone will obscure
the <code>pass</code> parameter before creating the backend (which is
required for sftp backends).</p>
<p>The program can manipulate the supplied <code>user</code> in any way,
for example to make proxy to many different sftp backends, you could
make the <code>user</code> be <code>user@example.com</code> and then set
the <code>host</code> to <code>example.com</code> in the output and the
user to <code>user</code>. For security you'd probably want to restrict
the <code>host</code> to a limited list.</p>
<p>Note that an internal cache is keyed on <code>user</code> so only use
that for configuration, don't use <code>pass</code> or
<code>public_key</code>. This also means that if a user's password or
public-key is changed the cache will need to expire (which takes 5 mins)
before it takes effect.</p>
<p>This can be used to build general purpose proxies to any kind of
backend that rclone supports.</p>

<h2 id="serving-over-a-unix-socket">Serving over a unix socket</h2>
<p>You can serve the webdav on a unix socket like this:</p>
<pre><code>rclone serve webdav --addr unix:///tmp/my.socket remote:path</code></pre>
<p>and connect to it like this using rclone and the webdav backend:</p>
<pre><code>rclone --webdav-unix-socket /tmp/my.socket --webdav-url http://localhost lsf :webdav:</code></pre>
<p>Note that there is no authentication on http protocol - this is
expected to be done by the permissions on the socket.</p>
<h2 id="server-options-6">Server options</h2>
<p>Use <code>--addr</code> to specify which IP address and port the
server should listen on, eg <code>--addr 1.2.3.4:8000</code> or
<code>--addr :8080</code> to listen to all IPs. By default it only
listens on localhost. You can use port :0 to let the OS choose an
available port.</p>
<p>If you set <code>--addr</code> to listen on a public or LAN
accessible IP address then using Authentication is advised - see the
next section for info.</p>
<p>You can use a unix socket by setting the url to
<code>unix:///path/to/socket</code> or just by using an absolute path
name. Note that unix sockets bypass the authentication - this is
expected to be done with file system permissions.</p>
<p><code>--addr</code> may be repeated to listen on multiple
IPs/ports/sockets. Socket activation, described further below, can also
be used to accomplish the same.</p>
<p><code>--server-read-timeout</code> and
<code>--server-write-timeout</code> can be used to control the timeouts
on the server. Note that this is the total time for a transfer.</p>
<p><code>--max-header-bytes</code> controls the maximum number of bytes
the server will accept in the HTTP header.</p>
<p><code>--baseurl</code> controls the URL prefix that rclone serves
from. By default rclone will serve from the root. If you used
<code>--baseurl "/rclone"</code> then rclone would serve from a URL
starting with "/rclone/". This is useful if you wish to proxy rclone
serve. Rclone automatically inserts leading and trailing "/" on
<code>--baseurl</code>, so <code>--baseurl "rclone"</code>,
<code>--baseurl "/rclone"</code> and <code>--baseurl "/rclone/"</code>
are all treated identically.</p>
<h3 id="tls-ssl-4">TLS (SSL)</h3>
<p>By default this will serve over http. If you want you can serve over
https. You will need to supply the <code>--cert</code> and
<code>--key</code> flags. If you wish to do client side certificate
validation then you will need to supply <code>--client-ca</code>
also.</p>
<p><code>--cert</code> should be a either a PEM encoded certificate or a
concatenation of that with the CA certificate. <code>--key</code> should
be the PEM encoded private key and <code>--client-ca</code> should be
the PEM encoded client certificate authority certificate.</p>
<p><code>--min-tls-version</code> is minimum TLS version that is
acceptable. Valid values are "tls1.0", "tls1.1", "tls1.2" and "tls1.3"
(default "tls1.0").</p>
<h2 id="socket-activation-4">Socket activation</h2>
<p>Instead of the listening addresses specified above, rclone will
listen to all FDs passed by the service manager, if any (and ignore any
arguments passed by --addr`).</p>
<p>This allows rclone to be a socket-activated service. It can be
configured with .socket and .service unit files as described in
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd.socket.html</p>
<p>Socket activation can be tested ad-hoc with the
<code>systemd-socket-activate</code>command</p>
<pre><code> systemd-socket-activate -l 8000 -- rclone serve</code></pre>
<p>This will socket-activate rclone on the first connection to port 8000
over TCP. ### Template</p>
<p><code>--template</code> allows a user to specify a custom markup
template for HTTP and WebDAV serve functions. The server exports the
following markup to be used within the template to server pages:</p>

<h3 id="authentication-4">Authentication</h3>
<p>By default this will serve files without needing a login.</p>
<p>You can either use an htpasswd file which can take lots of users, or
set a single username and password with the <code>--user</code> and
<code>--pass</code> flags.</p>
<p>If no static users are configured by either of the above methods, and
client certificates are required by the <code>--client-ca</code> flag
passed to the server, the client certificate common name will be
considered as the username.</p>
<p>Use <code>--htpasswd /path/to/htpasswd</code> to provide an htpasswd
file. This is in standard apache format and supports MD5, SHA1 and
BCrypt for basic authentication. Bcrypt is recommended.</p>
<p>To create an htpasswd file:</p>
<pre><code>touch htpasswd
htpasswd -B htpasswd user
htpasswd -B htpasswd anotherUser</code></pre>
<p>The password file can be updated while rclone is running.</p>
<p>Use <code>--realm</code> to set the authentication realm.</p>
<p>Use <code>--salt</code> to change the password hashing salt from the
default.</p>
<h2 id="vfs---virtual-file-system-8">VFS - Virtual File System</h2>
<p>This command uses the VFS layer. This adapts the cloud storage
objects that rclone uses into something which looks much more like a
disk filing system.</p>
<p>Cloud storage objects have lots of properties which aren't like disk
files - you can't extend them or write to the middle of them, so the VFS
layer has to deal with that. Because there is no one right way of doing
this there are various options explained below.</p>
<p>The VFS layer also implements a directory cache - this caches info
about files and directories (but not the data) in memory.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-directory-cache-9">VFS Directory Cache</h2>
<p>Using the <code>--dir-cache-time</code> flag, you can control how
long a directory should be considered up to date and not refreshed from
the backend. Changes made through the VFS will appear immediately or
invalidate the cache.</p>
<pre><code>--dir-cache-time duration Time to cache directory entries for (default 5m0s)
--poll-interval duration Time to wait between polling for changes. Must be smaller than dir-cache-time. Only on supported remotes. Set to 0 to disable (default 1m0s)</code></pre>
<p>However, changes made directly on the cloud storage by the web
interface or a different copy of rclone will only be picked up once the
directory cache expires if the backend configured does not support
polling for changes. If the backend supports polling, changes will be
picked up within the polling interval.</p>
<p>You can send a <code>SIGHUP</code> signal to rclone for it to flush
all directory caches, regardless of how old they are. Assuming only one
rclone instance is running, you can reset the cache like this:</p>
<pre><code>kill -SIGHUP $(pidof rclone)</code></pre>
<p>If you configure rclone with a <a href="/rc">remote control</a> then
you can use rclone rc to flush the whole directory cache:</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/forget</code></pre>
<p>Or individual files or directories:</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/forget file=path/to/file dir=path/to/dir</code></pre>
<h2 id="vfs-file-buffering-9">VFS File Buffering</h2>
<p>The <code>--buffer-size</code> flag determines the amount of memory,
that will be used to buffer data in advance.</p>
<p>Each open file will try to keep the specified amount of data in
memory at all times. The buffered data is bound to one open file and
won't be shared.</p>
<p>This flag is a upper limit for the used memory per open file. The
buffer will only use memory for data that is downloaded but not not yet
read. If the buffer is empty, only a small amount of memory will be
used.</p>
<p>The maximum memory used by rclone for buffering can be up to
<code>--buffer-size * open files</code>.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-file-caching-9">VFS File Caching</h2>
<p>These flags control the VFS file caching options. File caching is
necessary to make the VFS layer appear compatible with a normal file
system. It can be disabled at the cost of some compatibility.</p>
<p>For example you'll need to enable VFS caching if you want to read and
write simultaneously to a file. See below for more details.</p>
<p>Note that the VFS cache is separate from the cache backend and you
may find that you need one or the other or both.</p>
<pre><code>--cache-dir string Directory rclone will use for caching.
--vfs-cache-mode CacheMode Cache mode off|minimal|writes|full (default off)
--vfs-cache-max-age duration Max time since last access of objects in the cache (default 1h0m0s)
--vfs-cache-max-size SizeSuffix Max total size of objects in the cache (default off)
--vfs-cache-min-free-space SizeSuffix Target minimum free space on the disk containing the cache (default off)
--vfs-cache-poll-interval duration Interval to poll the cache for stale objects (default 1m0s)
--vfs-write-back duration Time to writeback files after last use when using cache (default 5s)</code></pre>
<p>If run with <code>-vv</code> rclone will print the location of the
file cache. The files are stored in the user cache file area which is OS
dependent but can be controlled with <code>--cache-dir</code> or setting
the appropriate environment variable.</p>
<p>The cache has 4 different modes selected by
<code>--vfs-cache-mode</code>. The higher the cache mode the more
compatible rclone becomes at the cost of using disk space.</p>
<p>Note that files are written back to the remote only when they are
closed and if they haven't been accessed for
<code>--vfs-write-back</code> seconds. If rclone is quit or dies with
files that haven't been uploaded, these will be uploaded next time
rclone is run with the same flags.</p>
<p>If using <code>--vfs-cache-max-size</code> or
<code>--vfs-cache-min-free-size</code> note that the cache may exceed
these quotas for two reasons. Firstly because it is only checked every
<code>--vfs-cache-poll-interval</code>. Secondly because open files
cannot be evicted from the cache. When <code>--vfs-cache-max-size</code>
or <code>--vfs-cache-min-free-size</code> is exceeded, rclone will
attempt to evict the least accessed files from the cache first. rclone
will start with files that haven't been accessed for the longest. This
cache flushing strategy is efficient and more relevant files are likely
to remain cached.</p>
<p>The <code>--vfs-cache-max-age</code> will evict files from the cache
after the set time since last access has passed. The default value of 1
hour will start evicting files from cache that haven't been accessed for
1 hour. When a cached file is accessed the 1 hour timer is reset to 0
and will wait for 1 more hour before evicting. Specify the time with
standard notation, s, m, h, d, w .</p>
<p>You <strong>should not</strong> run two copies of rclone using the
same VFS cache with the same or overlapping remotes if using
<code>--vfs-cache-mode &gt; off</code>. This can potentially cause data
corruption if you do. You can work around this by giving each rclone its
own cache hierarchy with <code>--cache-dir</code>. You don't need to
worry about this if the remotes in use don't overlap.</p>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-off-9">--vfs-cache-mode off</h3>
<p>In this mode (the default) the cache will read directly from the
remote and write directly to the remote without caching anything on
disk.</p>
<p>This will mean some operations are not possible</p>
<ul>
<li>Files can't be opened for both read AND write</li>
<li>Files opened for write can't be seeked</li>
<li>Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set</li>
<li>Files open for read with O_TRUNC will be opened write only</li>
<li>Files open for write only will behave as if O_TRUNC was
supplied</li>
<li>Open modes O_APPEND, O_TRUNC are ignored</li>
<li>If an upload fails it can't be retried</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-minimal-9">--vfs-cache-mode minimal</h3>
<p>This is very similar to "off" except that files opened for read AND
write will be buffered to disk. This means that files opened for write
will be a lot more compatible, but uses the minimal disk space.</p>
<p>These operations are not possible</p>
<ul>
<li>Files opened for write only can't be seeked</li>
<li>Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set</li>
<li>Files opened for write only will ignore O_APPEND, O_TRUNC</li>
<li>If an upload fails it can't be retried</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-writes-9">--vfs-cache-mode writes</h3>
<p>In this mode files opened for read only are still read directly from
the remote, write only and read/write files are buffered to disk
first.</p>
<p>This mode should support all normal file system operations.</p>
<p>If an upload fails it will be retried at exponentially increasing
intervals up to 1 minute.</p>
<h3 id="vfs-cache-mode-full-9">--vfs-cache-mode full</h3>
<p>In this mode all reads and writes are buffered to and from disk. When
data is read from the remote this is buffered to disk as well.</p>
<p>In this mode the files in the cache will be sparse files and rclone
will keep track of which bits of the files it has downloaded.</p>
<p>So if an application only reads the starts of each file, then rclone
will only buffer the start of the file. These files will appear to be
their full size in the cache, but they will be sparse files with only
the data that has been downloaded present in them.</p>
<p>This mode should support all normal file system operations and is
otherwise identical to <code>--vfs-cache-mode</code> writes.</p>
<p>When reading a file rclone will read <code>--buffer-size</code> plus
<code>--vfs-read-ahead</code> bytes ahead. The
<code>--buffer-size</code> is buffered in memory whereas the
<code>--vfs-read-ahead</code> is buffered on disk.</p>
<p>When using this mode it is recommended that
<code>--buffer-size</code> is not set too large and
<code>--vfs-read-ahead</code> is set large if required.</p>
<p><strong>IMPORTANT</strong> not all file systems support sparse files.
In particular FAT/exFAT do not. Rclone will perform very badly if the
cache directory is on a filesystem which doesn't support sparse files
and it will log an ERROR message if one is detected.</p>
<h3 id="fingerprinting-9">Fingerprinting</h3>
<p>Various parts of the VFS use fingerprinting to see if a local file
copy has changed relative to a remote file. Fingerprints are made
from:</p>
<ul>
<li>size</li>
<li>modification time</li>
<li>hash</li>
</ul>
<p>where available on an object.</p>
<p>On some backends some of these attributes are slow to read (they take
an extra API call per object, or extra work per object).</p>
<p>For example <code>hash</code> is slow with the <code>local</code> and
<code>sftp</code> backends as they have to read the entire file and hash
it, and <code>modtime</code> is slow with the <code>s3</code>,
<code>swift</code>, <code>ftp</code> and <code>qinqstor</code> backends
because they need to do an extra API call to fetch it.</p>
<p>If you use the <code>--vfs-fast-fingerprint</code> flag then rclone
will not include the slow operations in the fingerprint. This makes the
fingerprinting less accurate but much faster and will improve the
opening time of cached files.</p>
<p>If you are running a vfs cache over <code>local</code>,
<code>s3</code> or <code>swift</code> backends then using this flag is
recommended.</p>
<p>Note that if you change the value of this flag, the fingerprints of
the files in the cache may be invalidated and the files will need to be
downloaded again.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-chunked-reading-9">VFS Chunked Reading</h2>
<p>When rclone reads files from a remote it reads them in chunks. This
means that rather than requesting the whole file rclone reads the chunk
specified. This can reduce the used download quota for some remotes by
requesting only chunks from the remote that are actually read, at the
cost of an increased number of requests.</p>
<p>These flags control the chunking:</p>
<pre><code>--vfs-read-chunk-size SizeSuffix Read the source objects in chunks (default 128M)
--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit SizeSuffix Max chunk doubling size (default off)
--vfs-read-chunk-streams int The number of parallel streams to read at once</code></pre>
<p>The chunking behaves differently depending on the
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> parameter.</p>
<h3
id="vfs-read-chunk-streams-0-18"><code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code>
== 0</h3>
<p>Rclone will start reading a chunk of size
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code>, and then double the size for each
read. When <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit</code> is specified, and
greater than <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code>, the chunk size for each
open file will get doubled only until the specified value is reached. If
the value is "off", which is the default, the limit is disabled and the
chunk size will grow indefinitely.</p>
<p>With <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size 100M</code> and
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 0</code> the following parts will be
downloaded: 0-100M, 100M-200M, 200M-300M, 300M-400M and so on. When
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 500M</code> is specified, the result
would be 0-100M, 100M-300M, 300M-700M, 700M-1200M, 1200M-1700M and so
on.</p>
<p>Setting <code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code> to <code>0</code> or "off"
disables chunked reading.</p>
<p>The chunks will not be buffered in memory.</p>
<h3
id="vfs-read-chunk-streams-0-19"><code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code>
&gt; 0</h3>
<p>Rclone reads <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> chunks of size
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code> concurrently. The size for each read
will stay constant.</p>
<p>This improves performance performance massively on high latency links
or very high bandwidth links to high performance object stores.</p>
<p>Some experimentation will be needed to find the optimum values of
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size</code> and
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> as these will depend on the
backend in use and the latency to the backend.</p>
<p>For high performance object stores (eg AWS S3) a reasonable place to
start might be <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams 16</code> and
<code>--vfs-read-chunk-size 4M</code>. In testing with AWS S3 the
performance scaled roughly as the <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code>
setting.</p>
<p>Similar settings should work for high latency links, but depending on
the latency they may need more <code>--vfs-read-chunk-streams</code> in
order to get the throughput.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-performance-9">VFS Performance</h2>
<p>These flags may be used to enable/disable features of the VFS for
performance or other reasons. See also the <a
href="#vfs-chunked-reading">chunked reading</a> feature.</p>
<p>In particular S3 and Swift benefit hugely from the
<code>--no-modtime</code> flag (or use <code>--use-server-modtime</code>
for a slightly different effect) as each read of the modification time
takes a transaction.</p>
<pre><code>--no-checksum Don&#39;t compare checksums on up/download.
--no-modtime Don&#39;t read/write the modification time (can speed things up).
--no-seek Don&#39;t allow seeking in files.
--read-only Only allow read-only access.</code></pre>
<p>Sometimes rclone is delivered reads or writes out of order. Rather
than seeking rclone will wait a short time for the in sequence read or
write to come in. These flags only come into effect when not using an on
disk cache file.</p>
<pre><code>--vfs-read-wait duration Time to wait for in-sequence read before seeking (default 20ms)
--vfs-write-wait duration Time to wait for in-sequence write before giving error (default 1s)</code></pre>
<p>When using VFS write caching (<code>--vfs-cache-mode</code> with
value writes or full), the global flag <code>--transfers</code> can be
set to adjust the number of parallel uploads of modified files from the
cache (the related global flag <code>--checkers</code> has no effect on
the VFS).</p>
<pre><code>--transfers int Number of file transfers to run in parallel (default 4)</code></pre>
<h2 id="vfs-case-sensitivity-9">VFS Case Sensitivity</h2>
<p>Linux file systems are case-sensitive: two files can differ only by
case, and the exact case must be used when opening a file.</p>
<p>File systems in modern Windows are case-insensitive but
case-preserving: although existing files can be opened using any case,
the exact case used to create the file is preserved and available for
programs to query. It is not allowed for two files in the same directory
to differ only by case.</p>
<p>Usually file systems on macOS are case-insensitive. It is possible to
make macOS file systems case-sensitive but that is not the default.</p>
<p>The <code>--vfs-case-insensitive</code> VFS flag controls how rclone
handles these two cases. If its value is "false", rclone passes file
names to the remote as-is. If the flag is "true" (or appears without a
value on the command line), rclone may perform a "fixup" as explained
below.</p>
<p>The user may specify a file name to open/delete/rename/etc with a
case different than what is stored on the remote. If an argument refers
to an existing file with exactly the same name, then the case of the
existing file on the disk will be used. However, if a file name with
exactly the same name is not found but a name differing only by case
exists, rclone will transparently fixup the name. This fixup happens
only when an existing file is requested. Case sensitivity of file names
created anew by rclone is controlled by the underlying remote.</p>
<p>Note that case sensitivity of the operating system running rclone
(the target) may differ from case sensitivity of a file system presented
by rclone (the source). The flag controls whether "fixup" is performed
to satisfy the target.</p>
<p>If the flag is not provided on the command line, then its default
value depends on the operating system where rclone runs: "true" on
Windows and macOS, "false" otherwise. If the flag is provided without a
value, then it is "true".</p>
<p>The <code>--no-unicode-normalization</code> flag controls whether a
similar "fixup" is performed for filenames that differ but are <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_equivalence">canonically
equivalent</a> with respect to unicode. Unicode normalization can be
particularly helpful for users of macOS, which prefers form NFD instead
of the NFC used by most other platforms. It is therefore highly
recommended to keep the default of <code>false</code> on macOS, to avoid
encoding compatibility issues.</p>
<p>In the (probably unlikely) event that a directory has multiple
duplicate filenames after applying case and unicode normalization, the
<code>--vfs-block-norm-dupes</code> flag allows hiding these duplicates.
This comes with a performance tradeoff, as rclone will have to scan the
entire directory for duplicates when listing a directory. For this
reason, it is recommended to leave this disabled if not needed. However,
macOS users may wish to consider using it, as otherwise, if a remote
directory contains both NFC and NFD versions of the same filename, an
odd situation will occur: both versions of the file will be visible in
the mount, and both will appear to be editable, however, editing either
version will actually result in only the NFD version getting edited
under the hood. <code>--vfs-block- norm-dupes</code> prevents this
confusion by detecting this scenario, hiding the duplicates, and logging
an error, similar to how this is handled in
<code>rclone sync</code>.</p>
<h2 id="vfs-disk-options-9">VFS Disk Options</h2>
<p>This flag allows you to manually set the statistics about the filing
system. It can be useful when those statistics cannot be read correctly
automatically.</p>
<pre><code>--vfs-disk-space-total-size Manually set the total disk space size (example: 256G, default: -1)</code></pre>
<h2 id="alternate-report-of-used-bytes-9">Alternate report of used
bytes</h2>
<p>Some backends, most notably S3, do not report the amount of bytes
used. If you need this information to be available when running
<code>df</code> on the filesystem, then pass the flag
<code>--vfs-used-is-size</code> to rclone. With this flag set, instead
of relying on the backend to report this information, rclone will scan
the whole remote similar to <code>rclone size</code> and compute the
total used space itself.</p>
<p><em>WARNING.</em> Contrary to <code>rclone size</code>, this flag
ignores filters so that the result is accurate. However, this is very
inefficient and may cost lots of API calls resulting in extra charges.
Use it as a last resort and only with caching.</p>
<h2 id="auth-proxy-3">Auth Proxy</h2>
<p>If you supply the parameter
<code>--auth-proxy /path/to/program</code> then rclone will use that
program to generate backends on the fly which then are used to
authenticate incoming requests. This uses a simple JSON based protocol
with input on STDIN and output on STDOUT.</p>
<p><strong>PLEASE NOTE:</strong> <code>--auth-proxy</code> and
<code>--authorized-keys</code> cannot be used together, if
<code>--auth-proxy</code> is set the authorized keys option will be
ignored.</p>
<p>There is an example program <a
href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/blob/master/bin/test_proxy.py">bin/test_proxy.py</a>
in the rclone source code.</p>
<p>The program's job is to take a <code>user</code> and
<code>pass</code> on the input and turn those into the config for a
backend on STDOUT in JSON format. This config will have any default
parameters for the backend added, but it won't use configuration from
environment variables or command line options - it is the job of the
proxy program to make a complete config.</p>
<p>This config generated must have this extra parameter -
<code>_root</code> - root to use for the backend</p>
<p>And it may have this parameter - <code>_obscure</code> - comma
separated strings for parameters to obscure</p>
<p>If password authentication was used by the client, input to the proxy
process (on STDIN) would look similar to this:</p>
<pre><code>{
&quot;user&quot;: &quot;me&quot;,
&quot;pass&quot;: &quot;mypassword&quot;
}</code></pre>
<p>If public-key authentication was used by the client, input to the
proxy process (on STDIN) would look similar to this:</p>
<pre><code>{
&quot;user&quot;: &quot;me&quot;,
&quot;public_key&quot;: &quot;AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQDuwESFdAe14hVS6omeyX7edc...JQdf&quot;
}</code></pre>
<p>And as an example return this on STDOUT</p>
<pre><code>{
&quot;type&quot;: &quot;sftp&quot;,
&quot;_root&quot;: &quot;&quot;,
&quot;_obscure&quot;: &quot;pass&quot;,
&quot;user&quot;: &quot;me&quot;,
&quot;pass&quot;: &quot;mypassword&quot;,
&quot;host&quot;: &quot;sftp.example.com&quot;
}</code></pre>
<p>This would mean that an SFTP backend would be created on the fly for
the <code>user</code> and <code>pass</code>/<code>public_key</code>
returned in the output to the host given. Note that since
<code>_obscure</code> is set to <code>pass</code>, rclone will obscure
the <code>pass</code> parameter before creating the backend (which is
required for sftp backends).</p>
<p>The program can manipulate the supplied <code>user</code> in any way,
for example to make proxy to many different sftp backends, you could
make the <code>user</code> be <code>user@example.com</code> and then set
the <code>host</code> to <code>example.com</code> in the output and the
user to <code>user</code>. For security you'd probably want to restrict
the <code>host</code> to a limited list.</p>
<p>Note that an internal cache is keyed on <code>user</code> so only use
that for configuration, don't use <code>pass</code> or
<code>public_key</code>. This also means that if a user's password or
public-key is changed the cache will need to expire (which takes 5 mins)
before it takes effect.</p>
<p>This can be used to build general purpose proxies to any kind of
backend that rclone supports.</p>

<h2 id="copying-single-files">Copying single files</h2>
<p>rclone normally syncs or copies directories. However, if the source
remote points to a file, rclone will just copy that file. The
destination remote must point to a directory - rclone will give the
error
<code>Failed to create file system for "remote:file": is a file not a directory</code>
if it isn't.</p>
<p>For example, suppose you have a remote with a file in called
<code>test.jpg</code>, then you could copy just that file like this</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy remote:test.jpg /tmp/download</code></pre>
<p>The file <code>test.jpg</code> will be placed inside
<code>/tmp/download</code>.</p>
<p>This is equivalent to specifying</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy --files-from /tmp/files remote: /tmp/download</code></pre>
<p>Where <code>/tmp/files</code> contains the single line</p>
<pre><code>test.jpg</code></pre>
<p>It is recommended to use <code>copy</code> when copying individual
files, not <code>sync</code>. They have pretty much the same effect but
<code>copy</code> will use a lot less memory.</p>
<h2 id="syntax-of-remote-paths">Syntax of remote paths</h2>
<p>The syntax of the paths passed to the rclone command are as
follows.</p>
<h3 id="pathtodir">/path/to/dir</h3>
<p>This refers to the local file system.</p>
<p>On Windows <code>\</code> may be used instead of <code>/</code> in
local paths <strong>only</strong>, non local paths must use
<code>/</code>. See <a
href="https://rclone.org/local/#paths-on-windows">local filesystem</a>
documentation for more about Windows-specific paths.</p>
<p>These paths needn't start with a leading <code>/</code> - if they
don't then they will be relative to the current directory.</p>
<h3 id="remotepathtodir">remote:path/to/dir</h3>
<p>This refers to a directory <code>path/to/dir</code> on
<code>remote:</code> as defined in the config file (configured with
<code>rclone config</code>).</p>
<h3 id="remotepathtodir-1">remote:/path/to/dir</h3>
<p>On most backends this is refers to the same directory as
<code>remote:path/to/dir</code> and that format should be preferred. On
a very small number of remotes (FTP, SFTP, Dropbox for business) this
will refer to a different directory. On these, paths without a leading
<code>/</code> will refer to your "home" directory and paths with a
leading <code>/</code> will refer to the root.</p>
<h3 id="backendpathtodir">:backend:path/to/dir</h3>
<p>This is an advanced form for creating remotes on the fly.
<code>backend</code> should be the name or prefix of a backend (the
<code>type</code> in the config file) and all the configuration for the
backend should be provided on the command line (or in environment
variables).</p>
<p>Here are some examples:</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsd --http-url https://pub.rclone.org :http:</code></pre>
<p>To list all the directories in the root of
<code>https://pub.rclone.org/</code>.</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsf --http-url https://example.com :http:path/to/dir</code></pre>
<p>To list files and directories in
<code>https://example.com/path/to/dir/</code></p>
<pre><code>rclone copy --http-url https://example.com :http:path/to/dir /tmp/dir</code></pre>
<p>To copy files and directories in
<code>https://example.com/path/to/dir</code> to
<code>/tmp/dir</code>.</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy --sftp-host example.com :sftp:path/to/dir /tmp/dir</code></pre>
<p>To copy files and directories from <code>example.com</code> in the
relative directory <code>path/to/dir</code> to <code>/tmp/dir</code>
using sftp.</p>
<h3 id="connection-strings">Connection strings</h3>
<p>The above examples can also be written using a connection string
syntax, so instead of providing the arguments as command line parameters
<code>--http-url https://pub.rclone.org</code> they are provided as part
of the remote specification as a kind of connection string.</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsd &quot;:http,url=&#39;https://pub.rclone.org&#39;:&quot;
rclone lsf &quot;:http,url=&#39;https://example.com&#39;:path/to/dir&quot;
rclone copy &quot;:http,url=&#39;https://example.com&#39;:path/to/dir&quot; /tmp/dir
rclone copy :sftp,host=example.com:path/to/dir /tmp/dir</code></pre>
<p>These can apply to modify existing remotes as well as create new
remotes with the on the fly syntax. This example is equivalent to adding
the <code>--drive-shared-with-me</code> parameter to the remote
<code>gdrive:</code>.</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsf &quot;gdrive,shared_with_me:path/to/dir&quot;</code></pre>
<p>The major advantage to using the connection string style syntax is
that it only applies to the remote, not to all the remotes of that type
of the command line. A common confusion is this attempt to copy a file
shared on google drive to the normal drive which <strong>does not
work</strong> because the <code>--drive-shared-with-me</code> flag
applies to both the source and the destination.</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy --drive-shared-with-me gdrive:shared-file.txt gdrive:</code></pre>
<p>However using the connection string syntax, this does work.</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy &quot;gdrive,shared_with_me:shared-file.txt&quot; gdrive:</code></pre>
<p>Note that the connection string only affects the options of the
immediate backend. If for example gdriveCrypt is a crypt based on
gdrive, then the following command <strong>will not work</strong> as
intended, because <code>shared_with_me</code> is ignored by the crypt
backend:</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy &quot;gdriveCrypt,shared_with_me:shared-file.txt&quot; gdriveCrypt:</code></pre>
<p>The connection strings have the following syntax</p>
<pre><code>remote,parameter=value,parameter2=value2:path/to/dir
:backend,parameter=value,parameter2=value2:path/to/dir</code></pre>
<p>If the <code>parameter</code> has a <code>:</code> or <code>,</code>
then it must be placed in quotes <code>"</code> or <code>'</code>,
so</p>
<pre><code>remote,parameter=&quot;colon:value&quot;,parameter2=&quot;comma,value&quot;:path/to/dir
:backend,parameter=&#39;colon:value&#39;,parameter2=&#39;comma,value&#39;:path/to/dir</code></pre>
<p>If a quoted value needs to include that quote, then it should be
doubled, so</p>
<pre><code>remote,parameter=&quot;with&quot;&quot;quote&quot;,parameter2=&#39;with&#39;&#39;quote&#39;:path/to/dir</code></pre>
<p>This will make <code>parameter</code> be <code>with"quote</code> and
<code>parameter2</code> be <code>with'quote</code>.</p>
<p>If you leave off the <code>=parameter</code> then rclone will
substitute <code>=true</code> which works very well with flags. For
example, to use s3 configured in the environment you could use:</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsd :s3,env_auth:</code></pre>
<p>Which is equivalent to</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsd :s3,env_auth=true:</code></pre>
<p>Note that on the command line you might need to surround these
connection strings with <code>"</code> or <code>'</code> to stop the
shell interpreting any special characters within them.</p>
<p>If you are a shell master then you'll know which strings are OK and
which aren't, but if you aren't sure then enclose them in <code>"</code>
and use <code>'</code> as the inside quote. This syntax works on all
OSes.</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy &quot;:http,url=&#39;https://example.com&#39;:path/to/dir&quot; /tmp/dir</code></pre>
<p>On Linux/macOS some characters are still interpreted inside
<code>"</code> strings in the shell (notably <code>\</code> and
<code>$</code> and <code>"</code>) so if your strings contain those you
can swap the roles of <code>"</code> and <code>'</code> thus. (This
syntax does not work on Windows.)</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy &#39;:http,url=&quot;https://example.com&quot;:path/to/dir&#39; /tmp/dir</code></pre>
<h4 id="connection-strings-config-and-logging">Connection strings,
config and logging</h4>
<p>If you supply extra configuration to a backend by command line flag,
environment variable or connection string then rclone will add a suffix
based on the hash of the config to the name of the remote, eg</p>
<pre><code>rclone -vv lsf --s3-chunk-size 20M s3:</code></pre>
<p>Has the log message</p>
<pre><code>DEBUG : s3: detected overridden config - adding &quot;{Srj1p}&quot; suffix to name</code></pre>
<p>This is so rclone can tell the modified remote apart from the
unmodified remote when caching the backends.</p>
<p>This should only be noticeable in the logs.</p>
<p>This means that on the fly backends such as</p>
<pre><code>rclone -vv lsf :s3,env_auth:</code></pre>
<p>Will get their own names</p>
<pre><code>DEBUG : :s3: detected overridden config - adding &quot;{YTu53}&quot; suffix to name</code></pre>
<h3 id="valid-remote-names">Valid remote names</h3>
<p>Remote names are case sensitive, and must adhere to the following
rules: - May contain number, letter, <code>_</code>, <code>-</code>,
<code>.</code>, <code>+</code>, <code>@</code> and space. - May not
start with <code>-</code> or space. - May not end with space.</p>
<p>Starting with rclone version 1.61, any Unicode numbers and letters
are allowed, while in older versions it was limited to plain ASCII (0-9,
A-Z, a-z). If you use the same rclone configuration from different
shells, which may be configured with different character encoding, you
must be cautious to use characters that are possible to write in all of
them. This is mostly a problem on Windows, where the console
traditionally uses a non-Unicode character set - defined by the
so-called "code page".</p>
<p>Do not use single character names on Windows as it creates ambiguity
with Windows drives' names, e.g.: remote called <code>C</code> is
indistinguishable from <code>C</code> drive. Rclone will always assume
that single letter name refers to a drive.</p>
<h2 id="quoting-and-the-shell">Quoting and the shell</h2>
<p>When you are typing commands to your computer you are using something
called the command line shell. This interprets various characters in an
OS specific way.</p>
<p>Here are some gotchas which may help users unfamiliar with the shell
rules</p>
<h3 id="linux-osx">Linux / OSX</h3>
<p>If your names have spaces or shell metacharacters (e.g.
<code>*</code>, <code>?</code>, <code>$</code>, <code>'</code>,
<code>"</code>, etc.) then you must quote them. Use single quotes
<code>'</code> by default.</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy &#39;Important files?&#39; remote:backup</code></pre>
<p>If you want to send a <code>'</code> you will need to use
<code>"</code>, e.g.</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy &quot;O&#39;Reilly Reviews&quot; remote:backup</code></pre>
<p>The rules for quoting metacharacters are complicated and if you want
the full details you'll have to consult the manual page for your
shell.</p>
<h3 id="windows-1">Windows</h3>
<p>If your names have spaces in you need to put them in <code>"</code>,
e.g.</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy &quot;E:\folder name\folder name\folder name&quot; remote:backup</code></pre>
<p>If you are using the root directory on its own then don't quote it
(see <a href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/464">#464</a> for
why), e.g.</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy E:\ remote:backup</code></pre>
<h2 id="copying-files-or-directories-with-in-the-names">Copying files or
directories with <code>:</code> in the names</h2>
<p>rclone uses <code>:</code> to mark a remote name. This is, however, a
valid filename component in non-Windows OSes. The remote name parser
will only search for a <code>:</code> up to the first <code>/</code> so
if you need to act on a file or directory like this then use the full
path starting with a <code>/</code>, or use <code>./</code> as a current
directory prefix.</p>
<p>So to sync a directory called <code>sync:me</code> to a remote called
<code>remote:</code> use</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync --interactive ./sync:me remote:path</code></pre>
<p>or</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync --interactive /full/path/to/sync:me remote:path</code></pre>
<h2 id="server-side-copy">Server Side Copy</h2>
<p>Most remotes (but not all - see <a
href="https://rclone.org/overview/#optional-features">the overview</a>)
support server-side copy.</p>
<p>This means if you want to copy one folder to another then rclone
won't download all the files and re-upload them; it will instruct the
server to copy them in place.</p>
<p>Eg</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy s3:oldbucket s3:newbucket</code></pre>
<p>Will copy the contents of <code>oldbucket</code> to
<code>newbucket</code> without downloading and re-uploading.</p>
<p>Remotes which don't support server-side copy <strong>will</strong>
download and re-upload in this case.</p>
<p>Server side copies are used with <code>sync</code> and
<code>copy</code> and will be identified in the log when using the
<code>-v</code> flag. The <code>move</code> command may also use them if
remote doesn't support server-side move directly. This is done by
issuing a server-side copy then a delete which is much quicker than a
download and re-upload.</p>
<p>Server side copies will only be attempted if the remote names are the
same.</p>
<p>This can be used when scripting to make aged backups efficiently,
e.g.</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync --interactive remote:current-backup remote:previous-backup
rclone sync --interactive /path/to/files remote:current-backup</code></pre>
<h2 id="metadata">Metadata support</h2>
<p>Metadata is data about a file (or directory) which isn't the contents
of the file (or directory). Normally rclone only preserves the
modification time and the content (MIME) type where possible.</p>
<p>Rclone supports preserving all the available metadata on files and
directories when using the <code>--metadata</code> or <code>-M</code>
flag.</p>
<p>Exactly what metadata is supported and what that support means
depends on the backend. Backends that support metadata have a metadata
section in their docs and are listed in the <a
href="https://rclone.org/overview/#features">features table</a> (Eg <a

href="/s3/#metadata">s3</a>)</p>
<p>Some backends don't support metadata, some only support metadata on
files and some support metadata on both files and directories.</p>
<p>Rclone only supports a one-time sync of metadata. This means that
metadata will be synced from the source object to the destination object
only when the source object has changed and needs to be re-uploaded. If
the metadata subsequently changes on the source object without changing
the object itself then it won't be synced to the destination object.
This is in line with the way rclone syncs <code>Content-Type</code>
without the <code>--metadata</code> flag.</p>
<p>Using <code>--metadata</code> when syncing from local to local will
preserve file attributes such as file mode, owner, extended attributes
(not Windows).</p>
<p>Note that arbitrary metadata may be added to objects using the
<code>--metadata-set key=value</code> flag when the object is first
uploaded. This flag can be repeated as many times as necessary.</p>
<p>The <a href="#metadata-mapper">--metadata-mapper</a> flag can be used
to pass the name of a program in which can transform metadata when it is
being copied from source to destination.</p>
<p>Rclone supports <code>--metadata-set</code> and
<code>--metadata-mapper</code> when doing sever side <code>Move</code>
and server side <code>Copy</code>, but not when doing server side
<code>DirMove</code> (renaming a directory) as this would involve
recursing into the directory. Note that you can disable
<code>DirMove</code> with <code>--disable DirMove</code> and rclone will
revert back to using <code>Move</code> for each individual object where
<code>--metadata-set</code> and <code>--metadata-mapper</code> are
supported.</p>
<h3 id="types-of-metadata">Types of metadata</h3>
<p>Metadata is divided into two type. System metadata and User
metadata.</p>
<p>Metadata which the backend uses itself is called system metadata. For
example on the local backend the system metadata <code>uid</code> will
store the user ID of the file when used on a unix based platform.</p>
<p>Arbitrary metadata is called user metadata and this can be set
however is desired.</p>
<p>When objects are copied from backend to backend, they will attempt to
interpret system metadata if it is supplied. Metadata may change from
being user metadata to system metadata as objects are copied between
different backends. For example copying an object from s3 sets the
<code>content-type</code> metadata. In a backend which understands this
(like <code>azureblob</code>) this will become the Content-Type of the
object. In a backend which doesn't understand this (like the
<code>local</code> backend) this will become user metadata. However
should the local object be copied back to s3, the Content-Type will be
set correctly.</p>
<h3 id="metadata-framework">Metadata framework</h3>
<p>Rclone implements a metadata framework which can read metadata from
an object and write it to the object when (and only when) it is being
uploaded.</p>
<p>This metadata is stored as a dictionary with string keys and string
values.</p>
<p>There are some limits on the names of the keys (these may be
clarified further in the future).</p>
<ul>
<li>must be lower case</li>
<li>may be <code>a-z</code> <code>0-9</code> containing <code>.</code>
<code>-</code> or <code>_</code></li>
<li>length is backend dependent</li>
</ul>
<p>Each backend can provide system metadata that it understands. Some
backends can also store arbitrary user metadata.</p>
<p>Where possible the key names are standardized, so, for example, it is
possible to copy object metadata from s3 to azureblob for example and
metadata will be translated appropriately.</p>
<p>Some backends have limits on the size of the metadata and rclone will
give errors on upload if they are exceeded.</p>
<h3 id="metadata-preservation">Metadata preservation</h3>
<p>The goal of the implementation is to</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>Preserve metadata if at all possible</li>
<li>Interpret metadata if at all possible</li>
</ol>
<p>The consequences of 1 is that you can copy an S3 object to a local
disk then back to S3 losslessly. Likewise you can copy a local file with
file attributes and xattrs from local disk to s3 and back again
losslessly.</p>
<p>The consequence of 2 is that you can copy an S3 object with metadata
to Azureblob (say) and have the metadata appear on the Azureblob object
also.</p>
<h3 id="standard-system-metadata">Standard system metadata</h3>

<p>The metadata keys <code>mtime</code> and <code>content-type</code>
will take precedence if supplied in the metadata over reading the
<code>Content-Type</code> or modification time of the source object.</p>
<p>Hashes are not included in system metadata as there is a well defined
way of reading those already.</p>
<h2 id="options-90">Options</h2>
<p>Rclone has a number of options to control its behaviour.</p>
<p>Options that take parameters can have the values passed in two ways,
<code>--option=value</code> or <code>--option value</code>. However
boolean (true/false) options behave slightly differently to the other
options in that <code>--boolean</code> sets the option to
<code>true</code> and the absence of the flag sets it to
<code>false</code>. It is also possible to specify
<code>--boolean=false</code> or <code>--boolean=true</code>. Note that
<code>--boolean false</code> is not valid - this is parsed as
<code>--boolean</code> and the <code>false</code> is parsed as an extra
command line argument for rclone.</p>
<h3 id="time-option">Time or duration options</h3>
<p>TIME or DURATION options can be specified as a duration string or a
time string.</p>
<p>A duration string is a possibly signed sequence of decimal numbers,
each with optional fraction and a unit suffix, such as "300ms", "-1.5h"
or "2h45m". Default units are seconds or the following abbreviations are
valid:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>ms</code> - Milliseconds</li>
<li><code>s</code> - Seconds</li>
<li><code>m</code> - Minutes</li>
<li><code>h</code> - Hours</li>
<li><code>d</code> - Days</li>
<li><code>w</code> - Weeks</li>
<li><code>M</code> - Months</li>
<li><code>y</code> - Years</li>
</ul>
<p>These can also be specified as an absolute time in the following
formats:</p>
<ul>
<li>RFC3339 - e.g. <code>2006-01-02T15:04:05Z</code> or
<code>2006-01-02T15:04:05+07:00</code></li>
<li>ISO8601 Date and time, local timezone -
<code>2006-01-02T15:04:05</code></li>
<li>ISO8601 Date and time, local timezone -
<code>2006-01-02 15:04:05</code></li>
<li>ISO8601 Date - <code>2006-01-02</code> (YYYY-MM-DD)</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="size-option">Size options</h3>
<p>Options which use SIZE use KiB (multiples of 1024 bytes) by default.
However, a suffix of <code>B</code> for Byte, <code>K</code> for KiB,
<code>M</code> for MiB, <code>G</code> for GiB, <code>T</code> for TiB
and <code>P</code> for PiB may be used. These are the binary units, e.g.
1, 2**10, 2**20, 2**30 respectively.</p>
<h3 id="backup-dirdir">--backup-dir=DIR</h3>
<p>When using <code>sync</code>, <code>copy</code> or <code>move</code>
any files which would have been overwritten or deleted are moved in
their original hierarchy into this directory.</p>
<p>If <code>--suffix</code> is set, then the moved files will have the
suffix added to them. If there is a file with the same path (after the
suffix has been added) in DIR, then it will be overwritten.</p>
<p>The remote in use must support server-side move or copy and you must
use the same remote as the destination of the sync. The backup directory
must not overlap the destination directory without it being excluded by
a filter rule.</p>
<p>For example</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync --interactive /path/to/local remote:current --backup-dir remote:old</code></pre>
<p>will sync <code>/path/to/local</code> to <code>remote:current</code>,
but for any files which would have been updated or deleted will be
stored in <code>remote:old</code>.</p>
<p>If running rclone from a script you might want to use today's date as
the directory name passed to <code>--backup-dir</code> to store the old
files, or you might want to pass <code>--suffix</code> with today's
date.</p>
<p>See <code>--compare-dest</code> and <code>--copy-dest</code>.</p>
<h3 id="bind-string">--bind string</h3>
<p>Local address to bind to for outgoing connections. This can be an
IPv4 address (1.2.3.4), an IPv6 address (1234::789A) or host name. If
the host name doesn't resolve or resolves to more than one IP address it
will give an error.</p>
<p>You can use <code>--bind 0.0.0.0</code> to force rclone to use IPv4
addresses and <code>--bind ::0</code> to force rclone to use IPv6
addresses.</p>
<h3 id="bwlimitbandwidth_spec">--bwlimit=BANDWIDTH_SPEC</h3>
<p>This option controls the bandwidth limit. For example</p>
<pre><code>--bwlimit 10M</code></pre>
<p>would mean limit the upload and download bandwidth to 10 MiB/s.
<strong>NB</strong> this is <strong>bytes</strong> per second not
<strong>bits</strong> per second. To use a single limit, specify the
desired bandwidth in KiB/s, or use a suffix B|K|M|G|T|P. The default is
<code>0</code> which means to not limit bandwidth.</p>
<p>The upload and download bandwidth can be specified separately, as
<code>--bwlimit UP:DOWN</code>, so</p>
<pre><code>--bwlimit 10M:100k</code></pre>
<p>would mean limit the upload bandwidth to 10 MiB/s and the download
bandwidth to 100 KiB/s. Either limit can be "off" meaning no limit, so
to just limit the upload bandwidth you would use</p>
<pre><code>--bwlimit 10M:off</code></pre>
<p>this would limit the upload bandwidth to 10 MiB/s but the download
bandwidth would be unlimited.</p>
<p>When specified as above the bandwidth limits last for the duration of
run of the rclone binary.</p>
<p>It is also possible to specify a "timetable" of limits, which will
cause certain limits to be applied at certain times. To specify a
timetable, format your entries as
<code>WEEKDAY-HH:MM,BANDWIDTH WEEKDAY-HH:MM,BANDWIDTH...</code> where:
<code>WEEKDAY</code> is optional element.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>BANDWIDTH</code> can be a single number, e.g.<code>100k</code>
or a pair of numbers for upload:download, e.g.<code>10M:1M</code>.</li>
<li><code>WEEKDAY</code> can be written as the whole word or only using
the first 3 characters. It is optional.</li>
<li><code>HH:MM</code> is an hour from 00:00 to 23:59.</li>
</ul>
<p>Entries can be separated by spaces or semicolons.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Semicolons can be used as separators instead
of spaces to avoid parsing issues in environments like Docker.</p>
<p>An example of a typical timetable to avoid link saturation during
daytime working hours could be:</p>
<p>Using spaces as separators:
<code>--bwlimit "08:00,512k 12:00,10M 13:00,512k 18:00,30M 23:00,off"</code></p>
<p>Using semicolons as separators:
<code>--bwlimit "08:00,512k;12:00,10M;13:00,512k;18:00,30M;23:00,off"</code></p>
<p>In these examples, the transfer bandwidth will be set to 512 KiB/s at
8am every day. At noon, it will rise to 10 MiB/s, and drop back to 512
KiB/sec at 1pm. At 6pm, the bandwidth limit will be set to 30 MiB/s, and
at 11pm it will be completely disabled (full speed). Anything between
11pm and 8am will remain unlimited.</p>
<p>An example of timetable with <code>WEEKDAY</code> could be:</p>
<p>Using spaces as separators:
<code>--bwlimit "Mon-00:00,512 Fri-23:59,10M Sat-10:00,1M Sun-20:00,off"</code></p>
<p>Using semicolons as separators:
<code>--bwlimit "Mon-00:00,512;Fri-23:59,10M;Sat-10:00,1M;Sun-20:00,off"</code></p>
<p>It means that, the transfer bandwidth will be set to 512 KiB/s on
Monday. It will rise to 10 MiB/s before the end of Friday. At 10:00 on
Saturday it will be set to 1 MiB/s. From 20:00 on Sunday it will be
unlimited.</p>
<p>Timeslots without <code>WEEKDAY</code> are extended to the whole
week. So this example:</p>
<p><code>--bwlimit "Mon-00:00,512 12:00,1M Sun-20:00,off"</code></p>
<p>Is equivalent to this:</p>
<p><code>--bwlimit "Mon-00:00,512Mon-12:00,1M Tue-12:00,1M Wed-12:00,1M Thu-12:00,1M Fri-12:00,1M Sat-12:00,1M Sun-12:00,1M Sun-20:00,off"</code></p>
<p>Bandwidth limit apply to the data transfer for all backends. For most
backends the directory listing bandwidth is also included (exceptions
being the non HTTP backends, <code>ftp</code>, <code>sftp</code> and
<code>storj</code>).</p>
<p>Note that the units are <strong>Byte/s</strong>, not
<strong>bit/s</strong>. Typically connections are measured in bit/s - to
convert divide by 8. For example, let's say you have a 10 Mbit/s
connection and you wish rclone to use half of it - 5 Mbit/s. This is 5/8
= 0.625 MiB/s so you would use a <code>--bwlimit 0.625M</code> parameter
for rclone.</p>
<p>On Unix systems (Linux, macOS, …) the bandwidth limiter can be
toggled by sending a <code>SIGUSR2</code> signal to rclone. This allows
to remove the limitations of a long running rclone transfer and to
restore it back to the value specified with <code>--bwlimit</code>
quickly when needed. Assuming there is only one rclone instance running,
you can toggle the limiter like this:</p>
<pre><code>kill -SIGUSR2 $(pidof rclone)</code></pre>
<p>If you configure rclone with a <a href="/rc">remote control</a> then
you can use change the bwlimit dynamically:</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc core/bwlimit rate=1M</code></pre>
<h3 id="bwlimit-filebandwidth_spec">--bwlimit-file=BANDWIDTH_SPEC</h3>
<p>This option controls per file bandwidth limit. For the options see
the <code>--bwlimit</code> flag.</p>
<p>For example use this to allow no transfers to be faster than 1
MiB/s</p>
<pre><code>--bwlimit-file 1M</code></pre>
<p>This can be used in conjunction with <code>--bwlimit</code>.</p>
<p>Note that if a schedule is provided the file will use the schedule in
effect at the start of the transfer.</p>
<h3 id="buffer-sizesize">--buffer-size=SIZE</h3>
<p>Use this sized buffer to speed up file transfers. Each
<code>--transfer</code> will use this much memory for buffering.</p>
<p>When using <code>mount</code> or <code>cmount</code> each open file
descriptor will use this much memory for buffering. See the <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_mount/#file-buffering">mount</a>
documentation for more details.</p>
<p>Set to <code>0</code> to disable the buffering for the minimum memory
usage.</p>
<p>Note that the memory allocation of the buffers is influenced by the
<a href="#use-mmap">--use-mmap</a> flag.</p>
<h3 id="cache-dirdir">--cache-dir=DIR</h3>
<p>Specify the directory rclone will use for caching, to override the
default.</p>
<p>Default value is depending on operating system: - Windows
<code>%LocalAppData%\rclone</code>, if <code>LocalAppData</code> is
defined. - macOS <code>$HOME/Library/Caches/rclone</code> if
<code>HOME</code> is defined. - Unix <code>$XDG_CACHE_HOME/rclone</code>
if <code>XDG_CACHE_HOME</code> is defined, else
<code>$HOME/.cache/rclone</code> if <code>HOME</code> is defined. -
Fallback (on all OS) to <code>$TMPDIR/rclone</code>, where
<code>TMPDIR</code> is the value from <a
href="#temp-dir-dir">--temp-dir</a>.</p>
<p>You can use the <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_config_paths/">config paths</a>
command to see the current value.</p>
<p>Cache directory is heavily used by the <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_mount/#vfs-file-caching">VFS
File Caching</a> mount feature, but also by <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_serve/">serve</a>, <a
href="/gui">GUI</a> and other parts of rclone.</p>
<h3 id="check-first">--check-first</h3>
<p>If this flag is set then in a <code>sync</code>, <code>copy</code> or
<code>move</code>, rclone will do all the checks to see whether files
need to be transferred before doing any of the transfers. Normally
rclone would start running transfers as soon as possible.</p>
<p>This flag can be useful on IO limited systems where transfers
interfere with checking.</p>
<p>It can also be useful to ensure perfect ordering when using
<code>--order-by</code>.</p>
<p>If both <code>--check-first</code> and <code>--order-by</code> are
set when doing <code>rclone move</code> then rclone will use the
transfer thread to delete source files which don't need transferring.
This will enable perfect ordering of the transfers and deletes but will
cause the transfer stats to have more items in than expected.</p>
<p>Using this flag can use more memory as it effectively sets
<code>--max-backlog</code> to infinite. This means that all the info on
the objects to transfer is held in memory before the transfers
start.</p>
<h3 id="checkersn">--checkers=N</h3>
<p>Originally controlling just the number of file checkers to run in
parallel, e.g. by <code>rclone copy</code>. Now a fairly universal
parallelism control used by <code>rclone</code> in several places.</p>
<p>Note: checkers do the equality checking of files during a sync. For
some storage systems (e.g. S3, Swift, Dropbox) this can take a
significant amount of time so they are run in parallel.</p>
<p>The default is to run 8 checkers in parallel. However, in case of
slow-reacting backends you may need to lower (rather than increase) this
default by setting <code>--checkers</code> to 4 or less threads. This is
especially advised if you are experiencing backend server crashes during
file checking phase (e.g. on subsequent or top-up backups where little
or no file copying is done and checking takes up most of the time).
Increase this setting only with utmost care, while monitoring your
server health and file checking throughput.</p>
<h3 id="c---checksum">-c, --checksum</h3>
<p>Normally rclone will look at modification time and size of files to
see if they are equal. If you set this flag then rclone will check the
file hash and size to determine if files are equal.</p>
<p>This is useful when the remote doesn't support setting modified time
and a more accurate sync is desired than just checking the file
size.</p>
<p>This is very useful when transferring between remotes which store the
same hash type on the object, e.g. Drive and Swift. For details of which
remotes support which hash type see the table in the <a
href="https://rclone.org/overview/">overview section</a>.</p>
<p>Eg <code>rclone --checksum sync s3:/bucket swift:/bucket</code> would
run much quicker than without the <code>--checksum</code> flag.</p>
<p>When using this flag, rclone won't update mtimes of remote files if
they are incorrect as it would normally.</p>
<h3 id="color-when">--color WHEN</h3>
<p>Specify when colors (and other ANSI codes) should be added to the
output.</p>
<p><code>AUTO</code> (default) only allows ANSI codes when the output is
a terminal</p>
<p><code>NEVER</code> never allow ANSI codes</p>
<p><code>ALWAYS</code> always add ANSI codes, regardless of the output
format (terminal or file)</p>
<h3 id="compare-destdir">--compare-dest=DIR</h3>
<p>When using <code>sync</code>, <code>copy</code> or <code>move</code>
DIR is checked in addition to the destination for files. If a file
identical to the source is found that file is NOT copied from source.
This is useful to copy just files that have changed since the last
backup.</p>
<p>You must use the same remote as the destination of the sync. The
compare directory must not overlap the destination directory.</p>
<p>See <code>--copy-dest</code> and <code>--backup-dir</code>.</p>
<h3 id="configconfig_file">--config=CONFIG_FILE</h3>
<p>Specify the location of the rclone configuration file, to override
the default. E.g. <code>rclone config --config="rclone.conf"</code>.</p>
<p>The exact default is a bit complex to describe, due to changes
introduced through different versions of rclone while preserving
backwards compatibility, but in most cases it is as simple as:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>%APPDATA%/rclone/rclone.conf</code> on Windows</li>
<li><code>~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf</code> on other</li>
</ul>
<p>The complete logic is as follows: Rclone will look for an existing
configuration file in any of the following locations, in priority
order:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li><code>rclone.conf</code> (in program directory, where rclone
executable is)</li>
<li><code>%APPDATA%/rclone/rclone.conf</code> (only on Windows)</li>
<li><code>$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/rclone/rclone.conf</code> (on all systems,
including Windows)</li>
<li><code>~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf</code> (see below for explanation
of ~ symbol)</li>
<li><code>~/.rclone.conf</code></li>
</ol>
<p>If no existing configuration file is found, then a new one will be
created in the following location:</p>
<ul>
<li>On Windows: Location 2 listed above, except in the unlikely event
that <code>APPDATA</code> is not defined, then location 4 is used
instead.</li>
<li>On Unix: Location 3 if <code>XDG_CONFIG_HOME</code> is defined, else
location 4.</li>
<li>Fallback to location 5 (on all OS), when the rclone directory cannot
be created, but if also a home directory was not found then path
<code>.rclone.conf</code> relative to current working directory will be
used as a final resort.</li>
</ul>
<p>The <code>~</code> symbol in paths above represent the home directory
of the current user on any OS, and the value is defined as
following:</p>
<ul>
<li>On Windows: <code>%HOME%</code> if defined, else
<code>%USERPROFILE%</code>, or else
<code>%HOMEDRIVE%\%HOMEPATH%</code>.</li>
<li>On Unix: <code>$HOME</code> if defined, else by looking up current
user in OS-specific user database (e.g. passwd file), or else use the
result from shell command <code>cd &amp;&amp; pwd</code>.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you run <code>rclone config file</code> you will see where the
default location is for you.</p>
<p>The fact that an existing file <code>rclone.conf</code> in the same
directory as the rclone executable is always preferred, means that it is
easy to run in "portable" mode by downloading rclone executable to a
writable directory and then create an empty file
<code>rclone.conf</code> in the same directory.</p>
<p>If the location is set to empty string <code>""</code> or path to a
file with name <code>notfound</code>, or the os null device represented
by value <code>NUL</code> on Windows and <code>/dev/null</code> on Unix
systems, then rclone will keep the config file in memory only.</p>
<p>The file format is basic <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INI_file#Format">INI</a>: Sections
of text, led by a <code>[section]</code> header and followed by
<code>key=value</code> entries on separate lines. In rclone each remote
is represented by its own section, where the section name defines the
name of the remote. Options are specified as the <code>key=value</code>
entries, where the key is the option name without the
<code>--backend-</code> prefix, in lowercase and with <code>_</code>
instead of <code>-</code>. E.g. option <code>--mega-hard-delete</code>
corresponds to key <code>hard_delete</code>. Only backend options can be
specified. A special, and required, key <code>type</code> identifies the
<a href="https://rclone.org/overview/">storage system</a>, where the
value is the internal lowercase name as returned by command
<code>rclone help backends</code>. Comments are indicated by
<code>;</code> or <code>#</code> at the beginning of a line.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre><code>[megaremote]
type = mega
user = you@example.com
pass = PDPcQVVjVtzFY-GTdDFozqBhTdsPg3qH</code></pre>
<p>Note that passwords are in <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_obscure/">obscured</a> form.
Also, many storage systems uses token-based authentication instead of
passwords, and this requires additional steps. It is easier, and safer,
to use the interactive command <code>rclone config</code> instead of
manually editing the configuration file.</p>
<p>The configuration file will typically contain login information, and
should therefore have restricted permissions so that only the current
user can read it. Rclone tries to ensure this when it writes the file.
You may also choose to <a href="#configuration-encryption">encrypt</a>
the file.</p>
<p>When token-based authentication are used, the configuration file must
be writable, because rclone needs to update the tokens inside it.</p>
<p>To reduce risk of corrupting an existing configuration file, rclone
will not write directly to it when saving changes. Instead it will first
write to a new, temporary, file. If a configuration file already
existed, it will (on Unix systems) try to mirror its permissions to the
new file. Then it will rename the existing file to a temporary name as
backup. Next, rclone will rename the new file to the correct name,
before finally cleaning up by deleting the backup file.</p>
<p>If the configuration file path used by rclone is a symbolic link,
then this will be evaluated and rclone will write to the resolved path,
instead of overwriting the symbolic link. Temporary files used in the
process (described above) will be written to the same parent directory
as that of the resolved configuration file, but if this directory is
also a symbolic link it will not be resolved and the temporary files
will be written to the location of the directory symbolic link.</p>
<h3 id="contimeouttime">--contimeout=TIME</h3>
<p>Set the connection timeout. This should be in go time format which
looks like <code>5s</code> for 5 seconds, <code>10m</code> for 10
minutes, or <code>3h30m</code>.</p>
<p>The connection timeout is the amount of time rclone will wait for a
connection to go through to a remote object storage system. It is
<code>1m</code> by default.</p>
<h3 id="copy-destdir">--copy-dest=DIR</h3>
<p>When using <code>sync</code>, <code>copy</code> or <code>move</code>
DIR is checked in addition to the destination for files. If a file
identical to the source is found that file is server-side copied from
DIR to the destination. This is useful for incremental backup.</p>
<p>The remote in use must support server-side copy and you must use the
same remote as the destination of the sync. The compare directory must
not overlap the destination directory.</p>
<p>See <code>--compare-dest</code> and <code>--backup-dir</code>.</p>
<h3 id="dedupe-mode-mode">--dedupe-mode MODE</h3>
<p>Mode to run dedupe command in. One of <code>interactive</code>,
<code>skip</code>, <code>first</code>, <code>newest</code>,
<code>oldest</code>, <code>rename</code>. The default is
<code>interactive</code>.<br />
See the dedupe command for more information as to what these options
mean.</p>
<h3 id="default-time-time">--default-time TIME</h3>
<p>If a file or directory does have a modification time rclone can read
then rclone will display this fixed time instead.</p>
<p>The default is <code>2000-01-01 00:00:00 UTC</code>. This can be
configured in any of the ways shown in <a href="#time-option">the time
or duration options</a>.</p>
<p>For example <code>--default-time 2020-06-01</code> to set the default
time to the 1st of June 2020 or <code>--default-time 0s</code> to set
the default time to the time rclone started up.</p>
<h3 id="disable-featurefeature...">--disable FEATURE,FEATURE,...</h3>
<p>This disables a comma separated list of optional features. For
example to disable server-side move and server-side copy use:</p>
<pre><code>--disable move,copy</code></pre>
<p>The features can be put in any case.</p>
<p>To see a list of which features can be disabled use:</p>
<pre><code>--disable help</code></pre>
<p>The features a remote has can be seen in JSON format with:</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend features remote:</code></pre>
<p>See the overview <a
href="https://rclone.org/overview/#features">features</a> and <a
href="https://rclone.org/overview/#optional-features">optional
features</a> to get an idea of which feature does what.</p>
<p>Note that some features can be set to <code>true</code> if they are
<code>true</code>/<code>false</code> feature flag features by prefixing
them with <code>!</code>. For example the <code>CaseInsensitive</code>
feature can be forced to <code>false</code> with
<code>--disable CaseInsensitive</code> and forced to <code>true</code>
with <code>--disable '!CaseInsensitive'</code>. In general it isn't a
good idea doing this but it may be useful in extremis.</p>
<p>(Note that <code>!</code> is a shell command which you will need to
escape with single quotes or a backslash on unix like platforms.)</p>
<p>This flag can be useful for debugging and in exceptional
circumstances (e.g. Google Drive limiting the total volume of Server
Side Copies to 100 GiB/day).</p>
<h3 id="disable-http2">--disable-http2</h3>
<p>This stops rclone from trying to use HTTP/2 if available. This can
sometimes speed up transfers due to a <a
href="https://github.com/golang/go/issues/37373">problem in the Go
standard library</a>.</p>
<h3 id="dscp-value">--dscp VALUE</h3>
<p>Specify a DSCP value or name to use in connections. This could help
QoS system to identify traffic class. BE, EF, DF, LE, CSx and AFxx are
allowed.</p>
<p>See the description of <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differentiated_services">differentiated
services</a> to get an idea of this field. Setting this to 1 (LE) to
identify the flow to SCAVENGER class can avoid occupying too much
bandwidth in a network with DiffServ support (<a
href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8622">RFC 8622</a>).</p>
<p>For example, if you configured QoS on router to handle LE properly.
Running:</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy --dscp LE from:/from to:/to</code></pre>
<p>would make the priority lower than usual internet flows.</p>
<p>This option has no effect on Windows (see <a
href="https://github.com/golang/go/issues/42728">golang/go#42728</a>).</p>
<h3 id="n---dry-run">-n, --dry-run</h3>
<p>Do a trial run with no permanent changes. Use this to see what rclone
would do without actually doing it. Useful when setting up the
<code>sync</code> command which deletes files in the destination.</p>
<h3 id="expect-continue-timeouttime">--expect-continue-timeout=TIME</h3>
<p>This specifies the amount of time to wait for a server's first
response headers after fully writing the request headers if the request
has an "Expect: 100-continue" header. Not all backends support using
this.</p>
<p>Zero means no timeout and causes the body to be sent immediately,
without waiting for the server to approve. This time does not include
the time to send the request header.</p>
<p>The default is <code>1s</code>. Set to <code>0</code> to disable.</p>
<h3 id="error-on-no-transfer">--error-on-no-transfer</h3>
<p>By default, rclone will exit with return code 0 if there were no
errors.</p>
<p>This option allows rclone to return exit code 9 if no files were
transferred between the source and destination. This allows using rclone
in scripts, and triggering follow-on actions if data was copied, or
skipping if not.</p>
<p>NB: Enabling this option turns a usually non-fatal error into a
potentially fatal one - please check and adjust your scripts
accordingly!</p>
<h3 id="fix-case">--fix-case</h3>
<p>Normally, a sync to a case insensitive dest (such as macOS / Windows)
will not result in a matching filename if the source and dest filenames
have casing differences but are otherwise identical. For example,
syncing <code>hello.txt</code> to <code>HELLO.txt</code> will normally
result in the dest filename remaining <code>HELLO.txt</code>. If
<code>--fix-case</code> is set, then <code>HELLO.txt</code> will be
renamed to <code>hello.txt</code> to match the source.</p>
<p>NB: - directory names with incorrect casing will also be fixed -
<code>--fix-case</code> will be ignored if <code>--immutable</code> is
set - using <code>--local-case-sensitive</code> instead is not
advisable; it will cause <code>HELLO.txt</code> to get deleted! - the
old dest filename must not be excluded by filters. Be especially careful
with <a
href="https://rclone.org/filtering/#files-from-read-list-of-source-file-names"><code>--files-from</code></a>,
which does not respect <a
href="https://rclone.org/filtering/#ignore-case-make-searches-case-insensitive"><code>--ignore-case</code></a>!
- on remotes that do not support server-side move,
<code>--fix-case</code> will require downloading the file and
re-uploading it. To avoid this, do not use <code>--fix-case</code>.</p>
<h3
id="fs-cache-expire-durationtime">--fs-cache-expire-duration=TIME</h3>
<p>When using rclone via the API rclone caches created remotes for 5
minutes by default in the "fs cache". This means that if you do repeated
actions on the same remote then rclone won't have to build it again from
scratch, which makes it more efficient.</p>
<p>This flag sets the time that the remotes are cached for. If you set
it to <code>0</code> (or negative) then rclone won't cache the remotes
at all.</p>
<p>Note that if you use some flags, eg <code>--backup-dir</code> and if
this is set to <code>0</code> rclone may build two remotes (one for the
source or destination and one for the <code>--backup-dir</code> where it
may have only built one before.</p>
<h3
id="fs-cache-expire-intervaltime">--fs-cache-expire-interval=TIME</h3>
<p>This controls how often rclone checks for cached remotes to expire.
See the <code>--fs-cache-expire-duration</code> documentation above for
more info. The default is 60s, set to 0 to disable expiry.</p>
<h3 id="header">--header</h3>
<p>Add an HTTP header for all transactions. The flag can be repeated to
add multiple headers.</p>
<p>If you want to add headers only for uploads use
<code>--header-upload</code> and if you want to add headers only for
downloads use <code>--header-download</code>.</p>
<p>This flag is supported for all HTTP based backends even those not
supported by <code>--header-upload</code> and
<code>--header-download</code> so may be used as a workaround for those
with care.</p>
<pre><code>rclone ls remote:test --header &quot;X-Rclone: Foo&quot; --header &quot;X-LetMeIn: Yes&quot;</code></pre>
<h3 id="header-download">--header-download</h3>
<p>Add an HTTP header for all download transactions. The flag can be
repeated to add multiple headers.</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync --interactive s3:test/src ~/dst --header-download &quot;X-Amz-Meta-Test: Foo&quot; --header-download &quot;X-Amz-Meta-Test2: Bar&quot;</code></pre>
<p>See the GitHub issue <a
href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/59">here</a> for currently
supported backends.</p>
<h3 id="header-upload">--header-upload</h3>
<p>Add an HTTP header for all upload transactions. The flag can be
repeated to add multiple headers.</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync --interactive ~/src s3:test/dst --header-upload &quot;Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=&#39;cool.html&#39;&quot; --header-upload &quot;X-Amz-Meta-Test: FooBar&quot;</code></pre>
<p>See the GitHub issue <a
href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/59">here</a> for currently
supported backends.</p>
<h3 id="human-readable">--human-readable</h3>
<p>Rclone commands output values for sizes (e.g. number of bytes) and
counts (e.g. number of files) either as <em>raw</em> numbers, or in
<em>human-readable</em> format.</p>
<p>In human-readable format the values are scaled to larger units,
indicated with a suffix shown after the value, and rounded to three
decimals. Rclone consistently uses binary units (powers of 2) for sizes
and decimal units (powers of 10) for counts. The unit prefix for size is
according to IEC standard notation, e.g. <code>Ki</code> for kibi. Used
with byte unit, <code>1 KiB</code> means 1024 Byte. In list type of
output, only the unit prefix appended to the value (e.g.
<code>9.762Ki</code>), while in more textual output the full unit is
shown (e.g. <code>9.762 KiB</code>). For counts the SI standard notation
is used, e.g. prefix <code>k</code> for kilo. Used with file counts,
<code>1k</code> means 1000 files.</p>
<p>The various <a href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_ls/">list</a>
commands output raw numbers by default. Option
<code>--human-readable</code> will make them output values in
human-readable format instead (with the short unit prefix).</p>
<p>The <a href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_about/">about</a>
command outputs human-readable by default, with a command-specific
option <code>--full</code> to output the raw numbers instead.</p>
<p>Command <a href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_size/">size</a>
outputs both human-readable and raw numbers in the same output.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_tree/">tree</a>
command also considers <code>--human-readable</code>, but it will not
use the exact same notation as the other commands: It rounds to one
decimal, and uses single letter suffix, e.g. <code>K</code> instead of
<code>Ki</code>. The reason for this is that it relies on an external
library.</p>
<p>The interactive command <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_ncdu/">ncdu</a> shows
human-readable by default, and responds to key <code>u</code> for
toggling human-readable format.</p>
<h3 id="ignore-case-sync">--ignore-case-sync</h3>
<p>Using this option will cause rclone to ignore the case of the files
when synchronizing so files will not be copied/synced when the existing
filenames are the same, even if the casing is different.</p>
<h3 id="ignore-checksum">--ignore-checksum</h3>
<p>Normally rclone will check that the checksums of transferred files
match, and give an error "corrupted on transfer" if they don't.</p>
<p>You can use this option to skip that check. You should only use it if
you have had the "corrupted on transfer" error message and you are sure
you might want to transfer potentially corrupted data.</p>
<h3 id="ignore-existing">--ignore-existing</h3>
<p>Using this option will make rclone unconditionally skip all files
that exist on the destination, no matter the content of these files.</p>
<p>While this isn't a generally recommended option, it can be useful in
cases where your files change due to encryption. However, it cannot
correct partial transfers in case a transfer was interrupted.</p>
<p>When performing a <code>move</code>/<code>moveto</code> command, this
flag will leave skipped files in the source location unchanged when a
file with the same name exists on the destination.</p>
<h3 id="ignore-size">--ignore-size</h3>
<p>Normally rclone will look at modification time and size of files to
see if they are equal. If you set this flag then rclone will check only
the modification time. If <code>--checksum</code> is set then it only
checks the checksum.</p>
<p>It will also cause rclone to skip verifying the sizes are the same
after transfer.</p>
<p>This can be useful for transferring files to and from OneDrive which
occasionally misreports the size of image files (see <a
href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/399">#399</a> for more
info).</p>
<h3 id="i---ignore-times">-I, --ignore-times</h3>
<p>Using this option will cause rclone to unconditionally upload all
files regardless of the state of files on the destination.</p>
<p>Normally rclone would skip any files that have the same modification
time and are the same size (or have the same checksum if using
<code>--checksum</code>).</p>
<h3 id="immutable">--immutable</h3>
<p>Treat source and destination files as immutable and disallow
modification.</p>
<p>With this option set, files will be created and deleted as requested,
but existing files will never be updated. If an existing file does not
match between the source and destination, rclone will give the error
<code>Source and destination exist but do not match: immutable file modified</code>.</p>
<p>Note that only commands which transfer files (e.g. <code>sync</code>,
<code>copy</code>, <code>move</code>) are affected by this behavior, and
only modification is disallowed. Files may still be deleted explicitly
(e.g. <code>delete</code>, <code>purge</code>) or implicitly (e.g.
<code>sync</code>, <code>move</code>). Use <code>copy --immutable</code>
if it is desired to avoid deletion as well as modification.</p>
<p>This can be useful as an additional layer of protection for immutable
or append-only data sets (notably backup archives), where modification
implies corruption and should not be propagated.</p>
<h3 id="inplace">--inplace</h3>
<p>The <code>--inplace</code> flag changes the behaviour of rclone when
uploading files to some backends (backends with the
<code>PartialUploads</code> feature flag set) such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>local</li>
<li>ftp</li>
<li>sftp</li>
<li>pcloud</li>
</ul>
<p>Without <code>--inplace</code> (the default) rclone will first upload
to a temporary file with an extension like this, where
<code>XXXXXX</code> represents a hash of the source file's fingerprint
and <code>.partial</code> is <a
href="#partial-suffix">--partial-suffix</a> value (<code>.partial</code>
by default).</p>
<pre><code>original-file-name.XXXXXX.partial</code></pre>
<p>(rclone will make sure the final name is no longer than 100
characters by truncating the <code>original-file-name</code> part if
necessary).</p>
<p>When the upload is complete, rclone will rename the
<code>.partial</code> file to the correct name, overwriting any existing
file at that point. If the upload fails then the <code>.partial</code>
file will be deleted.</p>
<p>This prevents other users of the backend from seeing partially
uploaded files in their new names and prevents overwriting the old file
until the new one is completely uploaded.</p>
<p>If the <code>--inplace</code> flag is supplied, rclone will upload
directly to the final name without creating a <code>.partial</code>
file.</p>
<p>This means that an incomplete file will be visible in the directory
listings while the upload is in progress and any existing files will be
overwritten as soon as the upload starts. If the transfer fails then the
file will be deleted. This can cause data loss of the existing file if
the transfer fails.</p>
<p>Note that on the local file system if you don't use
<code>--inplace</code> hard links (Unix only) will be broken. And if you
do use <code>--inplace</code> you won't be able to update in use
executables.</p>
<p>Note also that versions of rclone prior to v1.63.0 behave as if the
<code>--inplace</code> flag is always supplied.</p>
<h3 id="interactive">-i, --interactive</h3>
<p>This flag can be used to tell rclone that you wish a manual
confirmation before destructive operations.</p>
<p>It is <strong>recommended</strong> that you use this flag while
learning rclone especially with <code>rclone sync</code>.</p>
<p>For example</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone delete --interactive /tmp/dir
rclone: delete &quot;important-file.txt&quot;?
y) Yes, this is OK (default)
n) No, skip this
s) Skip all delete operations with no more questions
!) Do all delete operations with no more questions
q) Exit rclone now.
y/n/s/!/q&gt; n</code></pre>
<p>The options mean</p>
<ul>
<li><code>y</code>: <strong>Yes</strong>, this operation should go
ahead. You can also press Return for this to happen. You'll be asked
every time unless you choose <code>s</code> or <code>!</code>.</li>
<li><code>n</code>: <strong>No</strong>, do not do this operation.
You'll be asked every time unless you choose <code>s</code> or
<code>!</code>.</li>
<li><code>s</code>: <strong>Skip</strong> all the following operations
of this type with no more questions. This takes effect until rclone
exits. If there are any different kind of operations you'll be prompted
for them.</li>
<li><code>!</code>: <strong>Do all</strong> the following operations
with no more questions. Useful if you've decided that you don't mind
rclone doing that kind of operation. This takes effect until rclone
exits . If there are any different kind of operations you'll be prompted
for them.</li>
<li><code>q</code>: <strong>Quit</strong> rclone now, just in case!</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="leave-root">--leave-root</h3>
<p>During rmdirs it will not remove root directory, even if it's
empty.</p>
<h3 id="log-filefile">--log-file=FILE</h3>
<p>Log all of rclone's output to FILE. This is not active by default.
This can be useful for tracking down problems with syncs in combination
with the <code>-v</code> flag. See the <a href="#logging">Logging
section</a> for more info.</p>
<p>If FILE exists then rclone will append to it.</p>
<p>Note that if you are using the <code>logrotate</code> program to
manage rclone's logs, then you should use the <code>copytruncate</code>
option as rclone doesn't have a signal to rotate logs.</p>
<h3 id="log-format-list">--log-format LIST</h3>
<p>Comma separated list of log format options. Accepted options are
<code>date</code>, <code>time</code>, <code>microseconds</code>,
<code>pid</code>, <code>longfile</code>, <code>shortfile</code>,
<code>UTC</code>. Any other keywords will be silently ignored.
<code>pid</code> will tag log messages with process identifier which
useful with <code>rclone mount --daemon</code>. Other accepted options
are explained in the <a href="https://pkg.go.dev/log#pkg-constants">go
documentation</a>. The default log format is
"<code>date</code>,<code>time</code>".</p>
<h3 id="log-level-level">--log-level LEVEL</h3>
<p>This sets the log level for rclone. The default log level is
<code>NOTICE</code>.</p>
<p><code>DEBUG</code> is equivalent to <code>-vv</code>. It outputs lots
of debug info - useful for bug reports and really finding out what
rclone is doing.</p>
<p><code>INFO</code> is equivalent to <code>-v</code>. It outputs
information about each transfer and prints stats once a minute by
default.</p>
<p><code>NOTICE</code> is the default log level if no logging flags are
supplied. It outputs very little when things are working normally. It
outputs warnings and significant events.</p>
<p><code>ERROR</code> is equivalent to <code>-q</code>. It only outputs
error messages.</p>
<h3 id="use-json-log">--use-json-log</h3>
<p>This switches the log format to JSON for rclone. The fields of json
log are level, msg, source, time.</p>
<h3 id="low-level-retries-number">--low-level-retries NUMBER</h3>
<p>This controls the number of low level retries rclone does.</p>
<p>A low level retry is used to retry a failing operation - typically
one HTTP request. This might be uploading a chunk of a big file for
example. You will see low level retries in the log with the
<code>-v</code> flag.</p>
<p>This shouldn't need to be changed from the default in normal
operations. However, if you get a lot of low level retries you may wish
to reduce the value so rclone moves on to a high level retry (see the
<code>--retries</code> flag) quicker.</p>
<p>Disable low level retries with
<code>--low-level-retries 1</code>.</p>
<h3 id="max-backlogn">--max-backlog=N</h3>
<p>This is the maximum allowable backlog of files in a sync/copy/move
queued for being checked or transferred.</p>
<p>This can be set arbitrarily large. It will only use memory when the
queue is in use. Note that it will use in the order of N KiB of memory
when the backlog is in use.</p>
<p>Setting this large allows rclone to calculate how many files are
pending more accurately, give a more accurate estimated finish time and
make <code>--order-by</code> work more accurately.</p>
<p>Setting this small will make rclone more synchronous to the listings
of the remote which may be desirable.</p>
<p>Setting this to a negative number will make the backlog as large as
possible.</p>
<h3 id="max-deleten">--max-delete=N</h3>
<p>This tells rclone not to delete more than N files. If that limit is
exceeded then a fatal error will be generated and rclone will stop the
operation in progress.</p>
<h3 id="max-delete-sizesize">--max-delete-size=SIZE</h3>
<p>Rclone will stop deleting files when the total size of deletions has
reached the size specified. It defaults to off.</p>
<p>If that limit is exceeded then a fatal error will be generated and
rclone will stop the operation in progress.</p>
<h3 id="max-depthn">--max-depth=N</h3>
<p>This modifies the recursion depth for all the commands except
purge.</p>
<p>So if you do <code>rclone --max-depth 1 ls remote:path</code> you
will see only the files in the top level directory. Using
<code>--max-depth 2</code> means you will see all the files in first two
directory levels and so on.</p>
<p>For historical reasons the <code>lsd</code> command defaults to using
a <code>--max-depth</code> of 1 - you can override this with the command
line flag.</p>
<p>You can use this command to disable recursion (with
<code>--max-depth 1</code>).</p>
<p>Note that if you use this with <code>sync</code> and
<code>--delete-excluded</code> the files not recursed through are
considered excluded and will be deleted on the destination. Test first
with <code>--dry-run</code> if you are not sure what will happen.</p>
<h3 id="max-durationtime">--max-duration=TIME</h3>
<p>Rclone will stop transferring when it has run for the duration
specified. Defaults to off.</p>
<p>When the limit is reached all transfers will stop immediately. Use
<code>--cutoff-mode</code> to modify this behaviour.</p>
<p>Rclone will exit with exit code 10 if the duration limit is
reached.</p>
<h3 id="max-transfersize">--max-transfer=SIZE</h3>
<p>Rclone will stop transferring when it has reached the size specified.
Defaults to off.</p>
<p>When the limit is reached all transfers will stop immediately. Use
<code>--cutoff-mode</code> to modify this behaviour.</p>
<p>Rclone will exit with exit code 8 if the transfer limit is
reached.</p>
<h3
id="cutoff-modehardsoftcautious">--cutoff-mode=hard|soft|cautious</h3>
<p>This modifies the behavior of <code>--max-transfer</code> and
<code>--max-duration</code> Defaults to
<code>--cutoff-mode=hard</code>.</p>
<p>Specifying <code>--cutoff-mode=hard</code> will stop transferring
immediately when Rclone reaches the limit.</p>
<p>Specifying <code>--cutoff-mode=soft</code> will stop starting new
transfers when Rclone reaches the limit.</p>
<p>Specifying <code>--cutoff-mode=cautious</code> will try to prevent
Rclone from reaching the limit. Only applicable for
<code>--max-transfer</code></p>
<h2 id="m---metadata">-M, --metadata</h2>
<p>Setting this flag enables rclone to copy the metadata from the source
to the destination. For local backends this is ownership, permissions,
xattr etc. See the <a href="#metadata">metadata section</a> for more
info.</p>
<h3 id="metadata-mapper">--metadata-mapper SpaceSepList</h3>
<p>If you supply the parameter
<code>--metadata-mapper /path/to/program</code> then rclone will use
that program to map metadata from source object to destination
object.</p>
<p>The argument to this flag should be a command with an optional space
separated list of arguments. If one of the arguments has a space in then
enclose it in <code>"</code>, if you want a literal <code>"</code> in an
argument then enclose the argument in <code>"</code> and double the
<code>"</code>. See <a href="https://godoc.org/encoding/csv">CSV
encoding</a> for more info.</p>
<pre><code>--metadata-mapper &quot;python bin/test_metadata_mapper.py&quot;
--metadata-mapper &#39;python bin/test_metadata_mapper.py &quot;argument with a space&quot;&#39;
--metadata-mapper &#39;python bin/test_metadata_mapper.py &quot;argument with &quot;&quot;two&quot;&quot; quotes&quot;&#39;</code></pre>
<p>This uses a simple JSON based protocol with input on STDIN and output
on STDOUT. This will be called for every file and directory copied and
may be called concurrently.</p>
<p>The program's job is to take a metadata blob on the input and turn it
into a metadata blob on the output suitable for the destination
backend.</p>
<p>Input to the program (via STDIN) might look like this. This provides
some context for the <code>Metadata</code> which may be important.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>SrcFs</code> is the config string for the remote that the
object is currently on.</li>
<li><code>SrcFsType</code> is the name of the source backend.</li>
<li><code>DstFs</code> is the config string for the remote that the
object is being copied to</li>
<li><code>DstFsType</code> is the name of the destination backend.</li>
<li><code>Remote</code> is the path of the object relative to the
root.</li>
<li><code>Size</code>, <code>MimeType</code>, <code>ModTime</code> are
attributes of the object.</li>
<li><code>IsDir</code> is <code>true</code> if this is a directory (not
yet implemented).</li>
<li><code>ID</code> is the source <code>ID</code> of the object if
known.</li>
<li><code>Metadata</code> is the backend specific metadata as described

<p>You can find this example (slightly expanded) in the rclone source
code at <a
href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/blob/master/bin/test_metadata_mapper.py">bin/test_metadata_mapper.py</a>.</p>
<p>If you want to see the input to the metadata mapper and the output
returned from it in the log you can use
<code>-vv --dump mapper</code>.</p>
<p>See the <a href="#metadata">metadata section</a> for more info.</p>
<h3 id="metadata-set-keyvalue">--metadata-set key=value</h3>
<p>Add metadata <code>key</code> = <code>value</code> when uploading.
This can be repeated as many times as required. See the <a
href="#metadata">metadata section</a> for more info.</p>
<h3 id="modify-windowtime">--modify-window=TIME</h3>
<p>When checking whether a file has been modified, this is the maximum
allowed time difference that a file can have and still be considered
equivalent.</p>
<p>The default is <code>1ns</code> unless this is overridden by a
remote. For example OS X only stores modification times to the nearest
second so if you are reading and writing to an OS X filing system this
will be <code>1s</code> by default.</p>
<p>This command line flag allows you to override that computed
default.</p>
<h3
id="multi-thread-write-buffer-sizesize">--multi-thread-write-buffer-size=SIZE</h3>
<p>When transferring with multiple threads, rclone will buffer SIZE
bytes in memory before writing to disk for each thread.</p>
<p>This can improve performance if the underlying filesystem does not
deal well with a lot of small writes in different positions of the file,
so if you see transfers being limited by disk write speed, you might
want to experiment with different values. Specially for magnetic drives
and remote file systems a higher value can be useful.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, the default of <code>128k</code> should be fine for
almost all use cases, so before changing it ensure that network is not
really your bottleneck.</p>
<p>As a final hint, size is not the only factor: block size (or similar
concept) can have an impact. In one case, we observed that exact
multiples of 16k performed much better than other values.</p>
<h3
id="multi-thread-chunk-sizesizesuffix">--multi-thread-chunk-size=SizeSuffix</h3>
<p>Normally the chunk size for multi thread transfers is set by the
backend. However some backends such as <code>local</code> and
<code>smb</code> (which implement <code>OpenWriterAt</code> but not
<code>OpenChunkWriter</code>) don't have a natural chunk size.</p>
<p>In this case the value of this option is used (default 64Mi).</p>
<h3 id="multi-thread-cutoff">--multi-thread-cutoff=SIZE</h3>
<p>When transferring files above SIZE to capable backends, rclone will
use multiple threads to transfer the file (default 256M).</p>
<p>Capable backends are marked in the <a
href="https://rclone.org/overview/#optional-features">overview</a> as
<code>MultithreadUpload</code>. (They need to implement either the
<code>OpenWriterAt</code> or <code>OpenChunkWriter</code> internal
interfaces). These include include, <code>local</code>, <code>s3</code>,
<code>azureblob</code>, <code>b2</code>,
<code>oracleobjectstorage</code> and <code>smb</code> at the time of
writing.</p>
<p>On the local disk, rclone preallocates the file (using
<code>fallocate(FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE)</code> on unix or
<code>NTSetInformationFile</code> on Windows both of which takes no
time) then each thread writes directly into the file at the correct
place. This means that rclone won't create fragmented or sparse files
and there won't be any assembly time at the end of the transfer.</p>
<p>The number of threads used to transfer is controlled by
<code>--multi-thread-streams</code>.</p>
<p>Use <code>-vv</code> if you wish to see info about the threads.</p>
<p>This will work with the
<code>sync</code>/<code>copy</code>/<code>move</code> commands and
friends <code>copyto</code>/<code>moveto</code>. Multi thread transfers
will be used with <code>rclone mount</code> and
<code>rclone serve</code> if <code>--vfs-cache-mode</code> is set to
<code>writes</code> or above.</p>
<p><strong>NB</strong> that this <strong>only</strong> works with
supported backends as the destination but will work with any backend as
the source.</p>
<p><strong>NB</strong> that multi-thread copies are disabled for local
to local copies as they are faster without unless
<code>--multi-thread-streams</code> is set explicitly.</p>
<p><strong>NB</strong> on Windows using multi-thread transfers to the
local disk will cause the resulting files to be <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparse_file">sparse</a>. Use
<code>--local-no-sparse</code> to disable sparse files (which may cause
long delays at the start of transfers) or disable multi-thread transfers
with <code>--multi-thread-streams 0</code></p>
<h3 id="multi-thread-streamsn">--multi-thread-streams=N</h3>
<p>When using multi thread transfers (see above
<code>--multi-thread-cutoff</code>) this sets the number of streams to
use. Set to <code>0</code> to disable multi thread transfers (Default
4).</p>
<p>If the backend has a <code>--backend-upload-concurrency</code>
setting (eg <code>--s3-upload-concurrency</code>) then this setting will
be used as the number of transfers instead if it is larger than the
value of <code>--multi-thread-streams</code> or
<code>--multi-thread-streams</code> isn't set.</p>
<h3 id="no-check-dest">--no-check-dest</h3>
<p>The <code>--no-check-dest</code> can be used with <code>move</code>
or <code>copy</code> and it causes rclone not to check the destination
at all when copying files.</p>
<p>This means that:</p>
<ul>
<li>the destination is not listed minimising the API calls</li>
<li>files are always transferred</li>
<li>this can cause duplicates on remotes which allow it (e.g. Google
Drive)</li>
<li><code>--retries 1</code> is recommended otherwise you'll transfer
everything again on a retry</li>
</ul>
<p>This flag is useful to minimise the transactions if you know that
none of the files are on the destination.</p>
<p>This is a specialized flag which should be ignored by most users!</p>
<h3 id="no-gzip-encoding">--no-gzip-encoding</h3>
<p>Don't set <code>Accept-Encoding: gzip</code>. This means that rclone
won't ask the server for compressed files automatically. Useful if
you've set the server to return files with
<code>Content-Encoding: gzip</code> but you uploaded compressed
files.</p>
<p>There is no need to set this in normal operation, and doing so will
decrease the network transfer efficiency of rclone.</p>
<h3 id="no-traverse">--no-traverse</h3>
<p>The <code>--no-traverse</code> flag controls whether the destination
file system is traversed when using the <code>copy</code> or
<code>move</code> commands. <code>--no-traverse</code> is not compatible
with <code>sync</code> and will be ignored if you supply it with
<code>sync</code>.</p>
<p>If you are only copying a small number of files (or are filtering
most of the files) and/or have a large number of files on the
destination then <code>--no-traverse</code> will stop rclone listing the
destination and save time.</p>
<p>However, if you are copying a large number of files, especially if
you are doing a copy where lots of the files under consideration haven't
changed and won't need copying then you shouldn't use
<code>--no-traverse</code>.</p>
<p>See <a href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_copy/">rclone
copy</a> for an example of how to use it.</p>
<h3 id="no-unicode-normalization">--no-unicode-normalization</h3>
<p>Don't normalize unicode characters in filenames during the sync
routine.</p>
<p>Sometimes, an operating system will store filenames containing
unicode parts in their decomposed form (particularly macOS). Some cloud
storage systems will then recompose the unicode, resulting in duplicate
files if the data is ever copied back to a local filesystem.</p>
<p>Using this flag will disable that functionality, treating each
unicode character as unique. For example, by default é and é will be
normalized into the same character. With
<code>--no-unicode-normalization</code> they will be treated as unique
characters.</p>
<h3 id="no-update-modtime">--no-update-modtime</h3>
<p>When using this flag, rclone won't update modification times of
remote files if they are incorrect as it would normally.</p>
<p>This can be used if the remote is being synced with another tool also
(e.g. the Google Drive client).</p>
<h3 id="no-update-dir-modtime">--no-update-dir-modtime</h3>
<p>When using this flag, rclone won't update modification times of
remote directories if they are incorrect as it would normally.</p>
<h3 id="order-by-string">--order-by string</h3>
<p>The <code>--order-by</code> flag controls the order in which files in
the backlog are processed in <code>rclone sync</code>,
<code>rclone copy</code> and <code>rclone move</code>.</p>
<p>The order by string is constructed like this. The first part
describes what aspect is being measured:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>size</code> - order by the size of the files</li>
<li><code>name</code> - order by the full path of the files</li>
<li><code>modtime</code> - order by the modification date of the
files</li>
</ul>
<p>This can have a modifier appended with a comma:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>ascending</code> or <code>asc</code> - order so that the
smallest (or oldest) is processed first</li>
<li><code>descending</code> or <code>desc</code> - order so that the
largest (or newest) is processed first</li>
<li><code>mixed</code> - order so that the smallest is processed first
for some threads and the largest for others</li>
</ul>
<p>If the modifier is <code>mixed</code> then it can have an optional
percentage (which defaults to <code>50</code>), e.g.
<code>size,mixed,25</code> which means that 25% of the threads should be
taking the smallest items and 75% the largest. The threads which take
the smallest first will always take the smallest first and likewise the
largest first threads. The <code>mixed</code> mode can be useful to
minimise the transfer time when you are transferring a mixture of large
and small files - the large files are guaranteed upload threads and
bandwidth and the small files will be processed continuously.</p>
<p>If no modifier is supplied then the order is
<code>ascending</code>.</p>
<p>For example</p>
<ul>
<li><code>--order-by size,desc</code> - send the largest files
first</li>
<li><code>--order-by modtime,ascending</code> - send the oldest files
first</li>
<li><code>--order-by name</code> - send the files with alphabetically by
path first</li>
</ul>
<p>If the <code>--order-by</code> flag is not supplied or it is supplied
with an empty string then the default ordering will be used which is as
scanned. With <code>--checkers 1</code> this is mostly alphabetical,
however with the default <code>--checkers 8</code> it is somewhat
random.</p>
<h4 id="limitations-3">Limitations</h4>
<p>The <code>--order-by</code> flag does not do a separate pass over the
data. This means that it may transfer some files out of the order
specified if</p>
<ul>
<li>there are no files in the backlog or the source has not been fully
scanned yet</li>
<li>there are more than <a href="#max-backlog-n">--max-backlog</a> files
in the backlog</li>
</ul>
<p>Rclone will do its best to transfer the best file it has so in
practice this should not cause a problem. Think of
<code>--order-by</code> as being more of a best efforts flag rather than
a perfect ordering.</p>
<p>If you want perfect ordering then you will need to specify <a
href="#check-first">--check-first</a> which will find all the files
which need transferring first before transferring any.</p>
<h3 id="partial-suffix">--partial-suffix</h3>
<p>When <a href="#inplace">--inplace</a> is not used, it causes rclone
to use the <code>--partial-suffix</code> as suffix for temporary
files.</p>
<p>Suffix length limit is 16 characters.</p>
<p>The default is <code>.partial</code>.</p>
<h3 id="password-command">--password-command SpaceSepList</h3>
<p>This flag supplies a program which should supply the config password
when run. This is an alternative to rclone prompting for the password or
setting the <code>RCLONE_CONFIG_PASS</code> variable. It is also used
when setting the config password for the first time.</p>
<p>The argument to this should be a command with a space separated list
of arguments. If one of the arguments has a space in then enclose it in
<code>"</code>, if you want a literal <code>"</code> in an argument then
enclose the argument in <code>"</code> and double the <code>"</code>.
See <a href="https://godoc.org/encoding/csv">CSV encoding</a> for more
info.</p>
<p>Eg</p>
<pre><code>--password-command &quot;echo hello&quot;
--password-command &#39;echo &quot;hello with space&quot;&#39;
--password-command &#39;echo &quot;hello with &quot;&quot;quotes&quot;&quot; and space&quot;&#39;</code></pre>
<p>Note that when changing the configuration password the environment
variable <code>RCLONE_PASSWORD_CHANGE=1</code> will be set. This can be
used to distinguish initial decryption of the config file from the new
password.</p>
<p>See the <a href="#configuration-encryption">Configuration
Encryption</a> for more info.</p>
<p>See a <a
href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/wiki/Windows-Powershell-use-rclone-password-command-for-Config-file-password">Windows
PowerShell example on the Wiki</a>.</p>
<h3 id="p---progress">-P, --progress</h3>
<p>This flag makes rclone update the stats in a static block in the
terminal providing a realtime overview of the transfer.</p>
<p>Any log messages will scroll above the static block. Log messages
will push the static block down to the bottom of the terminal where it
will stay.</p>
<p>Normally this is updated every 500mS but this period can be
overridden with the <code>--stats</code> flag.</p>
<p>This can be used with the <code>--stats-one-line</code> flag for a
simpler display.</p>
<p>To change the display length of filenames (for different terminal
widths), see the <code>--stats-file-name-length</code> option. The
default output is formatted for 80 character wide terminals.</p>
<p>Note: On Windows until <a
href="https://github.com/Azure/go-ansiterm/issues/26">this bug</a> is
fixed all non-ASCII characters will be replaced with <code>.</code> when
<code>--progress</code> is in use.</p>
<h3 id="progress-terminal-title">--progress-terminal-title</h3>
<p>This flag, when used with <code>-P/--progress</code>, will print the
string <code>ETA: %s</code> to the terminal title.</p>
<h3 id="q---quiet">-q, --quiet</h3>
<p>This flag will limit rclone's output to error messages only.</p>
<h3 id="refresh-times">--refresh-times</h3>
<p>The <code>--refresh-times</code> flag can be used to update
modification times of existing files when they are out of sync on
backends which don't support hashes.</p>
<p>This is useful if you uploaded files with the incorrect timestamps
and you now wish to correct them.</p>
<p>This flag is <strong>only</strong> useful for destinations which
don't support hashes (e.g. <code>crypt</code>).</p>
<p>This can be used any of the sync commands <code>sync</code>,
<code>copy</code> or <code>move</code>.</p>
<p>To use this flag you will need to be doing a modification time sync
(so not using <code>--size-only</code> or <code>--checksum</code>). The
flag will have no effect when using <code>--size-only</code> or
<code>--checksum</code>.</p>
<p>If this flag is used when rclone comes to upload a file it will check
to see if there is an existing file on the destination. If this file
matches the source with size (and checksum if available) but has a
differing timestamp then instead of re-uploading it, rclone will update
the timestamp on the destination file. If the checksum does not match
rclone will upload the new file. If the checksum is absent (e.g. on a
<code>crypt</code> backend) then rclone will update the timestamp.</p>
<p>Note that some remotes can't set the modification time without
re-uploading the file so this flag is less useful on them.</p>
<p>Normally if you are doing a modification time sync rclone will update
modification times without <code>--refresh-times</code> provided that
the remote supports checksums <strong>and</strong> the checksums match
on the file. However if the checksums are absent then rclone will upload
the file rather than setting the timestamp as this is the safe
behaviour.</p>
<h3 id="retries-int">--retries int</h3>
<p>Retry the entire sync if it fails this many times it fails (default
3).</p>
<p>Some remotes can be unreliable and a few retries help pick up the
files which didn't get transferred because of errors.</p>
<p>Disable retries with <code>--retries 1</code>.</p>
<h3 id="retries-sleeptime">--retries-sleep=TIME</h3>
<p>This sets the interval between each retry specified by
<code>--retries</code></p>
<p>The default is <code>0</code>. Use <code>0</code> to disable.</p>
<h3 id="server-side-across-configs">--server-side-across-configs</h3>
<p>Allow server-side operations (e.g. copy or move) to work across
different configurations.</p>
<p>This can be useful if you wish to do a server-side copy or move
between two remotes which use the same backend but are configured
differently.</p>
<p>Note that this isn't enabled by default because it isn't easy for
rclone to tell if it will work between any two configurations.</p>
<h3 id="size-only">--size-only</h3>
<p>Normally rclone will look at modification time and size of files to
see if they are equal. If you set this flag then rclone will check only
the size.</p>
<p>This can be useful transferring files from Dropbox which have been
modified by the desktop sync client which doesn't set checksums of
modification times in the same way as rclone.</p>
<h3 id="statstime">--stats=TIME</h3>
<p>Commands which transfer data (<code>sync</code>, <code>copy</code>,
<code>copyto</code>, <code>move</code>, <code>moveto</code>) will print
data transfer stats at regular intervals to show their progress.</p>
<p>This sets the interval.</p>
<p>The default is <code>1m</code>. Use <code>0</code> to disable.</p>
<p>If you set the stats interval then all commands can show stats. This
can be useful when running other commands, <code>check</code> or
<code>mount</code> for example.</p>
<p>Stats are logged at <code>INFO</code> level by default which means
they won't show at default log level <code>NOTICE</code>. Use
<code>--stats-log-level NOTICE</code> or <code>-v</code> to make them
show. See the <a href="#logging">Logging section</a> for more info on
log levels.</p>
<p>Note that on macOS you can send a SIGINFO (which is normally ctrl-T
in the terminal) to make the stats print immediately.</p>
<h3 id="stats-file-name-length-integer">--stats-file-name-length
integer</h3>
<p>By default, the <code>--stats</code> output will truncate file names
and paths longer than 40 characters. This is equivalent to providing
<code>--stats-file-name-length 40</code>. Use
<code>--stats-file-name-length 0</code> to disable any truncation of
file names printed by stats.</p>
<h3 id="stats-log-level-string">--stats-log-level string</h3>
<p>Log level to show <code>--stats</code> output at. This can be
<code>DEBUG</code>, <code>INFO</code>, <code>NOTICE</code>, or
<code>ERROR</code>. The default is <code>INFO</code>. This means at the
default level of logging which is <code>NOTICE</code> the stats won't
show - if you want them to then use
<code>--stats-log-level NOTICE</code>. See the <a
href="#logging">Logging section</a> for more info on log levels.</p>
<h3 id="stats-one-line">--stats-one-line</h3>
<p>When this is specified, rclone condenses the stats into a single line
showing the most important stats only.</p>
<h3 id="stats-one-line-date">--stats-one-line-date</h3>
<p>When this is specified, rclone enables the single-line stats and
prepends the display with a date string. The default is
<code>2006/01/02 15:04:05 -</code></p>
<h3 id="stats-one-line-date-format">--stats-one-line-date-format</h3>
<p>When this is specified, rclone enables the single-line stats and
prepends the display with a user-supplied date string. The date string
MUST be enclosed in quotes. Follow <a
href="https://golang.org/pkg/time/#Time.Format">golang specs</a> for
date formatting syntax.</p>
<h3 id="stats-unitbitsbytes">--stats-unit=bits|bytes</h3>
<p>By default, data transfer rates will be printed in bytes per
second.</p>
<p>This option allows the data rate to be printed in bits per
second.</p>
<p>Data transfer volume will still be reported in bytes.</p>
<p>The rate is reported as a binary unit, not SI unit. So 1 Mbit/s
equals 1,048,576 bit/s and not 1,000,000 bit/s.</p>
<p>The default is <code>bytes</code>.</p>
<h3 id="suffixsuffix">--suffix=SUFFIX</h3>
<p>When using <code>sync</code>, <code>copy</code> or <code>move</code>
any files which would have been overwritten or deleted will have the
suffix added to them. If there is a file with the same path (after the
suffix has been added), then it will be overwritten.</p>
<p>The remote in use must support server-side move or copy and you must
use the same remote as the destination of the sync.</p>
<p>This is for use with files to add the suffix in the current directory
or with <code>--backup-dir</code>. See <code>--backup-dir</code> for
more info.</p>
<p>For example</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy --interactive /path/to/local/file remote:current --suffix .bak</code></pre>
<p>will copy <code>/path/to/local</code> to <code>remote:current</code>,
but for any files which would have been updated or deleted have .bak
added.</p>
<p>If using <code>rclone sync</code> with <code>--suffix</code> and
without <code>--backup-dir</code> then it is recommended to put a filter
rule in excluding the suffix otherwise the <code>sync</code> will delete
the backup files.</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync --interactive /path/to/local/file remote:current --suffix .bak --exclude &quot;*.bak&quot;</code></pre>
<h3 id="suffix-keep-extension">--suffix-keep-extension</h3>
<p>When using <code>--suffix</code>, setting this causes rclone put the
SUFFIX before the extension of the files that it backs up rather than
after.</p>
<p>So let's say we had <code>--suffix -2019-01-01</code>, without the
flag <code>file.txt</code> would be backed up to
<code>file.txt-2019-01-01</code> and with the flag it would be backed up
to <code>file-2019-01-01.txt</code>. This can be helpful to make sure
the suffixed files can still be opened.</p>
<p>If a file has two (or more) extensions and the second (or subsequent)
extension is recognised as a valid mime type, then the suffix will go
before that extension. So <code>file.tar.gz</code> would be backed up to
<code>file-2019-01-01.tar.gz</code> whereas
<code>file.badextension.gz</code> would be backed up to
<code>file.badextension-2019-01-01.gz</code>.</p>
<h3 id="syslog">--syslog</h3>
<p>On capable OSes (not Windows or Plan9) send all log output to
syslog.</p>
<p>This can be useful for running rclone in a script or
<code>rclone mount</code>.</p>
<h3 id="syslog-facility-string">--syslog-facility string</h3>
<p>If using <code>--syslog</code> this sets the syslog facility (e.g.
<code>KERN</code>, <code>USER</code>). See <code>man syslog</code> for a
list of possible facilities. The default facility is
<code>DAEMON</code>.</p>
<h3 id="temp-dirdir">--temp-dir=DIR</h3>
<p>Specify the directory rclone will use for temporary files, to
override the default. Make sure the directory exists and have accessible
permissions.</p>
<p>By default the operating system's temp directory will be used: - On
Unix systems, <code>$TMPDIR</code> if non-empty, else <code>/tmp</code>.
- On Windows, the first non-empty value from <code>%TMP%</code>,
<code>%TEMP%</code>, <code>%USERPROFILE%</code>, or the Windows
directory.</p>
<p>When overriding the default with this option, the specified path will
be set as value of environment variable <code>TMPDIR</code> on Unix
systems and <code>TMP</code> and <code>TEMP</code> on Windows.</p>
<p>You can use the <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_config_paths/">config paths</a>
command to see the current value.</p>
<h3 id="tpslimit-float">--tpslimit float</h3>
<p>Limit transactions per second to this number. Default is 0 which is
used to mean unlimited transactions per second.</p>
<p>A transaction is roughly defined as an API call; its exact meaning
will depend on the backend. For HTTP based backends it is an HTTP
PUT/GET/POST/etc and its response. For FTP/SFTP it is a round trip
transaction over TCP.</p>
<p>For example, to limit rclone to 10 transactions per second use
<code>--tpslimit 10</code>, or to 1 transaction every 2 seconds use
<code>--tpslimit 0.5</code>.</p>
<p>Use this when the number of transactions per second from rclone is
causing a problem with the cloud storage provider (e.g. getting you
banned or rate limited).</p>
<p>This can be very useful for <code>rclone mount</code> to control the
behaviour of applications using it.</p>
<p>This limit applies to all HTTP based backends and to the FTP and SFTP
backends. It does not apply to the local backend or the Storj
backend.</p>
<p>See also <code>--tpslimit-burst</code>.</p>
<h3 id="tpslimit-burst-int">--tpslimit-burst int</h3>
<p>Max burst of transactions for <code>--tpslimit</code> (default
<code>1</code>).</p>
<p>Normally <code>--tpslimit</code> will do exactly the number of
transaction per second specified. However if you supply
<code>--tps-burst</code> then rclone can save up some transactions from
when it was idle giving a burst of up to the parameter supplied.</p>
<p>For example if you provide <code>--tpslimit-burst 10</code> then if
rclone has been idle for more than 10*<code>--tpslimit</code> then it
can do 10 transactions very quickly before they are limited again.</p>
<p>This may be used to increase performance of <code>--tpslimit</code>
without changing the long term average number of transactions per
second.</p>
<h3 id="track-renames">--track-renames</h3>
<p>By default, rclone doesn't keep track of renamed files, so if you
rename a file locally then sync it to a remote, rclone will delete the
old file on the remote and upload a new copy.</p>
<p>An rclone sync with <code>--track-renames</code> runs like a normal
sync, but keeps track of objects which exist in the destination but not
in the source (which would normally be deleted), and which objects exist
in the source but not the destination (which would normally be
transferred). These objects are then candidates for renaming.</p>
<p>After the sync, rclone matches up the source only and destination
only objects using the <code>--track-renames-strategy</code> specified
and either renames the destination object or transfers the source and
deletes the destination object. <code>--track-renames</code> is
stateless like all of rclone's syncs.</p>
<p>To use this flag the destination must support server-side copy or
server-side move, and to use a hash based
<code>--track-renames-strategy</code> (the default) the source and the
destination must have a compatible hash.</p>
<p>If the destination does not support server-side copy or move, rclone
will fall back to the default behaviour and log an error level message
to the console.</p>
<p>Encrypted destinations are not currently supported by
<code>--track-renames</code> if <code>--track-renames-strategy</code>
includes <code>hash</code>.</p>
<p>Note that <code>--track-renames</code> is incompatible with
<code>--no-traverse</code> and that it uses extra memory to keep track
of all the rename candidates.</p>
<p>Note also that <code>--track-renames</code> is incompatible with
<code>--delete-before</code> and will select <code>--delete-after</code>
instead of <code>--delete-during</code>.</p>
<h3
id="track-renames-strategy-hashmodtimeleafsize">--track-renames-strategy
(hash,modtime,leaf,size)</h3>
<p>This option changes the file matching criteria for
<code>--track-renames</code>.</p>
<p>The matching is controlled by a comma separated selection of these
tokens:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>modtime</code> - the modification time of the file - not
supported on all backends</li>
<li><code>hash</code> - the hash of the file contents - not supported on
all backends</li>
<li><code>leaf</code> - the name of the file not including its directory
name</li>
<li><code>size</code> - the size of the file (this is always
enabled)</li>
</ul>
<p>The default option is <code>hash</code>.</p>
<p>Using <code>--track-renames-strategy modtime,leaf</code> would match
files based on modification time, the leaf of the file name and the size
only.</p>
<p>Using <code>--track-renames-strategy modtime</code> or
<code>leaf</code> can enable <code>--track-renames</code> support for
encrypted destinations.</p>
<p>Note that the <code>hash</code> strategy is not supported with
encrypted destinations.</p>
<h3 id="delete-beforeduringafter">--delete-(before,during,after)</h3>
<p>This option allows you to specify when files on your destination are
deleted when you sync folders.</p>
<p>Specifying the value <code>--delete-before</code> will delete all
files present on the destination, but not on the source <em>before</em>
starting the transfer of any new or updated files. This uses two passes
through the file systems, one for the deletions and one for the
copies.</p>
<p>Specifying <code>--delete-during</code> will delete files while
checking and uploading files. This is the fastest option and uses the
least memory.</p>
<p>Specifying <code>--delete-after</code> (the default value) will delay
deletion of files until all new/updated files have been successfully
transferred. The files to be deleted are collected in the copy pass then
deleted after the copy pass has completed successfully. The files to be
deleted are held in memory so this mode may use more memory. This is the
safest mode as it will only delete files if there have been no errors
subsequent to that. If there have been errors before the deletions start
then you will get the message
<code>not deleting files as there were IO errors</code>.</p>
<h3 id="fast-list">--fast-list</h3>
<p>When doing anything which involves a directory listing (e.g.
<code>sync</code>, <code>copy</code>, <code>ls</code> - in fact nearly
every command), rclone has different strategies to choose from.</p>
<p>The basic strategy is to list one directory and processes it before
using more directory lists to process any subdirectories. This is a
mandatory backend feature, called <code>List</code>, which means it is
supported by all backends. This strategy uses small amount of memory,
and because it can be parallelised it is fast for operations involving
processing of the list results.</p>
<p>Some backends provide the support for an alternative strategy, where
all files beneath a directory can be listed in one (or a small number)
of transactions. Rclone supports this alternative strategy through an
optional backend feature called <a
href="https://rclone.org/overview/#listr"><code>ListR</code></a>. You
can see in the storage system overview documentation's <a
href="https://rclone.org/overview/#optional-features">optional
features</a> section which backends it is enabled for (these tend to be
the bucket-based ones, e.g. S3, B2, GCS, Swift). This strategy requires
fewer transactions for highly recursive operations, which is important
on backends where this is charged or heavily rate limited. It may be
faster (due to fewer transactions) or slower (because it can't be
parallelized) depending on different parameters, and may require more
memory if rclone has to keep the whole listing in memory.</p>
<p>Which listing strategy rclone picks for a given operation is
complicated, but in general it tries to choose the best possible. It
will prefer <code>ListR</code> in situations where it doesn't need to
store the listed files in memory, e.g. for unlimited recursive
<code>ls</code> command variants. In other situations it will prefer
<code>List</code>, e.g. for <code>sync</code> and <code>copy</code>,
where it needs to keep the listed files in memory, and is performing
operations on them where parallelization may be a huge advantage.</p>
<p>Rclone is not able to take all relevant parameters into account for
deciding the best strategy, and therefore allows you to influence the
choice in two ways: You can stop rclone from using <code>ListR</code> by
disabling the feature, using the <a
href="#disable-feature-feature">--disable</a> option
(<code>--disable ListR</code>), or you can allow rclone to use
<code>ListR</code> where it would normally choose not to do so due to
higher memory usage, using the <code>--fast-list</code> option. Rclone
should always produce identical results either way. Using
<code>--disable ListR</code> or <code>--fast-list</code> on a remote
which doesn't support <code>ListR</code> does nothing, rclone will just
ignore it.</p>
<p>A rule of thumb is that if you pay for transactions and can fit your
entire sync listing into memory, then <code>--fast-list</code> is
recommended. If you have a very big sync to do, then don't use
<code>--fast-list</code>, otherwise you will run out of memory. Run some
tests and compare before you decide, and if in doubt then just leave the
default, let rclone decide, i.e. not use <code>--fast-list</code>.</p>
<h3 id="timeouttime">--timeout=TIME</h3>
<p>This sets the IO idle timeout. If a transfer has started but then
becomes idle for this long it is considered broken and disconnected.</p>
<p>The default is <code>5m</code>. Set to <code>0</code> to disable.</p>
<h3 id="transfersn">--transfers=N</h3>
<p>The number of file transfers to run in parallel. It can sometimes be
useful to set this to a smaller number if the remote is giving a lot of
timeouts or bigger if you have lots of bandwidth and a fast remote.</p>
<p>The default is to run 4 file transfers in parallel.</p>
<p>Look at --multi-thread-streams if you would like to control single
file transfers.</p>
<h3 id="u---update">-u, --update</h3>
<p>This forces rclone to skip any files which exist on the destination
and have a modified time that is newer than the source file.</p>
<p>This can be useful in avoiding needless transfers when transferring
to a remote which doesn't support modification times directly (or when
using <code>--use-server-modtime</code> to avoid extra API calls) as it
is more accurate than a <code>--size-only</code> check and faster than
using <code>--checksum</code>. On such remotes (or when using
<code>--use-server-modtime</code>) the time checked will be the uploaded
time.</p>
<p>If an existing destination file has a modification time older than
the source file's, it will be updated if the sizes are different. If the
sizes are the same, it will be updated if the checksum is different or
not available.</p>
<p>If an existing destination file has a modification time equal (within
the computed modify window) to the source file's, it will be updated if
the sizes are different. The checksum will not be checked in this case
unless the <code>--checksum</code> flag is provided.</p>
<p>In all other cases the file will not be updated.</p>
<p>Consider using the <code>--modify-window</code> flag to compensate
for time skews between the source and the backend, for backends that do
not support mod times, and instead use uploaded times. However, if the
backend does not support checksums, note that syncing or copying within
the time skew window may still result in additional transfers for
safety.</p>
<h3 id="use-mmap">--use-mmap</h3>
<p>If this flag is set then rclone will use anonymous memory allocated
by mmap on Unix based platforms and VirtualAlloc on Windows for its
transfer buffers (size controlled by <code>--buffer-size</code>). Memory
allocated like this does not go on the Go heap and can be returned to
the OS immediately when it is finished with.</p>
<p>If this flag is not set then rclone will allocate and free the
buffers using the Go memory allocator which may use more memory as
memory pages are returned less aggressively to the OS.</p>
<p>It is possible this does not work well on all platforms so it is
disabled by default; in the future it may be enabled by default.</p>
<h3 id="use-server-modtime">--use-server-modtime</h3>
<p>Some object-store backends (e.g, Swift, S3) do not preserve file
modification times (modtime). On these backends, rclone stores the
original modtime as additional metadata on the object. By default it
will make an API call to retrieve the metadata when the modtime is
needed by an operation.</p>
<p>Use this flag to disable the extra API call and rely instead on the
server's modified time. In cases such as a local to remote sync using
<code>--update</code>, knowing the local file is newer than the time it
was last uploaded to the remote is sufficient. In those cases, this flag
can speed up the process and reduce the number of API calls
necessary.</p>
<p>Using this flag on a sync operation without also using
<code>--update</code> would cause all files modified at any time other
than the last upload time to be uploaded again, which is probably not
what you want.</p>
<h3 id="v--vv---verbose">-v, -vv, --verbose</h3>
<p>With <code>-v</code> rclone will tell you about each file that is
transferred and a small number of significant events.</p>
<p>With <code>-vv</code> rclone will become very verbose telling you
about every file it considers and transfers. Please send bug reports
with a log with this setting.</p>
<p>When setting verbosity as an environment variable, use
<code>RCLONE_VERBOSE=1</code> or <code>RCLONE_VERBOSE=2</code> for
<code>-v</code> and <code>-vv</code> respectively.</p>
<h3 id="v---version">-V, --version</h3>
<p>Prints the version number</p>
<h2 id="ssltls-options">SSL/TLS options</h2>
<p>The outgoing SSL/TLS connections rclone makes can be controlled with
these options. For example this can be very useful with the HTTP or
WebDAV backends. Rclone HTTP servers have their own set of configuration
for SSL/TLS which you can find in their documentation.</p>
<h3 id="ca-cert-stringarray">--ca-cert stringArray</h3>
<p>This loads the PEM encoded certificate authority certificates and
uses it to verify the certificates of the servers rclone connects
to.</p>
<p>If you have generated certificates signed with a local CA then you
will need this flag to connect to servers using those certificates.</p>
<h3 id="client-cert-string">--client-cert string</h3>
<p>This loads the PEM encoded client side certificate.</p>
<p>This is used for <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_authentication">mutual TLS
authentication</a>.</p>
<p>The <code>--client-key</code> flag is required too when using
this.</p>
<h3 id="client-key-string">--client-key string</h3>
<p>This loads the PEM encoded client side private key used for mutual
TLS authentication. Used in conjunction with
<code>--client-cert</code>.</p>
<h3
id="no-check-certificatetruefalse">--no-check-certificate=true/false</h3>
<p><code>--no-check-certificate</code> controls whether a client
verifies the server's certificate chain and host name. If
<code>--no-check-certificate</code> is true, TLS accepts any certificate
presented by the server and any host name in that certificate. In this
mode, TLS is susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks.</p>
<p>This option defaults to <code>false</code>.</p>
<p><strong>This should be used only for testing.</strong></p>
<h2 id="configuration-encryption">Configuration Encryption</h2>
<p>Your configuration file contains information for logging in to your
cloud services. This means that you should keep your
<code>rclone.conf</code> file in a secure location.</p>
<p>If you are in an environment where that isn't possible, you can add a
password to your configuration. This means that you will have to supply
the password every time you start rclone.</p>
<p>To add a password to your rclone configuration, execute
<code>rclone config</code>.</p>
<pre><code>&gt;rclone config
Current remotes:
e) Edit existing remote
n) New remote
d) Delete remote
s) Set configuration password
q) Quit config
e/n/d/s/q&gt;</code></pre>
<p>Go into <code>s</code>, Set configuration password:</p>
<pre><code>e/n/d/s/q&gt; s
Your configuration is not encrypted.
If you add a password, you will protect your login information to cloud services.
a) Add Password
q) Quit to main menu
a/q&gt; a
Enter NEW configuration password:
password:
Confirm NEW password:
password:
Password set
Your configuration is encrypted.
c) Change Password
u) Unencrypt configuration
q) Quit to main menu
c/u/q&gt;</code></pre>
<p>Your configuration is now encrypted, and every time you start rclone
you will have to supply the password. See below for details. In the same
menu, you can change the password or completely remove encryption from
your configuration.</p>
<p>There is no way to recover the configuration if you lose your
password.</p>
<p>You can also use</p>
<ul>
<li><a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_config_encryption_set/">rclone
config encryption set</a> to set the config encryption directly</li>
<li><a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_config_encryption_remove/">rclone
config encryption remove</a> to remove it</li>
<li><a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_config_encryption_check/">rclone
config encryption check</a> to check that it is encrypted properly.</li>
</ul>
<p>rclone uses <a
href="https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/crypto/nacl/secretbox">nacl
secretbox</a> which in turn uses XSalsa20 and Poly1305 to encrypt and
authenticate your configuration with secret-key cryptography. The
password is SHA-256 hashed, which produces the key for secretbox. The
hashed password is not stored.</p>
<p>While this provides very good security, we do not recommend storing
your encrypted rclone configuration in public if it contains sensitive
information, maybe except if you use a very strong password.</p>
<p>If it is safe in your environment, you can set the
<code>RCLONE_CONFIG_PASS</code> environment variable to contain your
password, in which case it will be used for decrypting the
configuration.</p>
<p>You can set this for a session from a script. For unix like systems
save this to a file called <code>set-rclone-password</code>:</p>
<pre><code>#!/bin/echo Source this file don&#39;t run it
read -s RCLONE_CONFIG_PASS
export RCLONE_CONFIG_PASS</code></pre>
<p>Then source the file when you want to use it. From the shell you
would do <code>source set-rclone-password</code>. It will then ask you
for the password and set it in the environment variable.</p>
<p>An alternate means of supplying the password is to provide a script
which will retrieve the password and print on standard output. This
script should have a fully specified path name and not rely on any
environment variables. The script is supplied either via <a
href="#password-command"><code>--password-command="..."</code></a>
command line argument or via the <code>RCLONE_PASSWORD_COMMAND</code>
environment variable.</p>
<p>One useful example of this is using the <code>passwordstore</code>
application to retrieve the password:</p>
<pre><code>export RCLONE_PASSWORD_COMMAND=&quot;pass rclone/config&quot;</code></pre>
<p>If the <code>passwordstore</code> password manager holds the password
for the rclone configuration, using the script method means the password
is primarily protected by the <code>passwordstore</code> system, and is
never embedded in the clear in scripts, nor available for examination
using the standard commands available. It is quite possible with long
running rclone sessions for copies of passwords to be innocently
captured in log files or terminal scroll buffers, etc. Using the script
method of supplying the password enhances the security of the config
password considerably.</p>
<p>If you are running rclone inside a script, unless you are using the
<code>--password-command</code> method, you might want to disable
password prompts. To do that, pass the parameter
<code>--ask-password=false</code> to rclone. This will make rclone fail
instead of asking for a password if <code>RCLONE_CONFIG_PASS</code>
doesn't contain a valid password, and <code>--password-command</code>
has not been supplied.</p>
<p>Whenever running commands that may be affected by options in a
configuration file, rclone will look for an existing file according to
the rules described <a href="#config-config-file">above</a>, and load
any it finds. If an encrypted file is found, this includes decrypting
it, with the possible consequence of a password prompt. When executing a
command line that you know are not actually using anything from such a
configuration file, you can avoid it being loaded by overriding the
location, e.g. with one of the documented special values for memory-only
configuration. Since only backend options can be stored in configuration
files, this is normally unnecessary for commands that do not operate on
backends, e.g. <code>completion</code>. However, it will be relevant for
commands that do operate on backends in general, but are used without
referencing a stored remote, e.g. listing local filesystem paths, or <a
href="#connection-strings">connection strings</a>:
<code>rclone --config="" ls .</code></p>

<h2 id="developer-options">Developer options</h2>
<p>These options are useful when developing or debugging rclone. There
are also some more remote specific options which aren't documented here
which are used for testing. These start with remote name e.g.
<code>--drive-test-option</code> - see the docs for the remote in
question.</p>
<h3 id="cpuprofilefile">--cpuprofile=FILE</h3>
<p>Write CPU profile to file. This can be analysed with
<code>go tool pprof</code>.</p>
<h4 id="dump-flagflagflag">--dump flag,flag,flag</h4>
<p>The <code>--dump</code> flag takes a comma separated list of flags to
dump info about.</p>
<p>Note that some headers including <code>Accept-Encoding</code> as
shown may not be correct in the request and the response may not show
<code>Content-Encoding</code> if the go standard libraries auto gzip
encoding was in effect. In this case the body of the request will be
gunzipped before showing it.</p>
<p>The available flags are:</p>
<h4 id="dump-headers">--dump headers</h4>
<p>Dump HTTP headers with <code>Authorization:</code> lines removed. May
still contain sensitive info. Can be very verbose. Useful for debugging
only.</p>
<p>Use <code>--dump auth</code> if you do want the
<code>Authorization:</code> headers.</p>
<h4 id="dump-bodies">--dump bodies</h4>
<p>Dump HTTP headers and bodies - may contain sensitive info. Can be
very verbose. Useful for debugging only.</p>
<p>Note that the bodies are buffered in memory so don't use this for
enormous files.</p>
<h4 id="dump-requests">--dump requests</h4>
<p>Like <code>--dump bodies</code> but dumps the request bodies and the
response headers. Useful for debugging download problems.</p>
<h4 id="dump-responses">--dump responses</h4>
<p>Like <code>--dump bodies</code> but dumps the response bodies and the
request headers. Useful for debugging upload problems.</p>
<h4 id="dump-auth">--dump auth</h4>

</ul>
<p>See <a href="https://rclone.org/rc/">the remote control
section</a>.</p>
<h2 id="logging">Logging</h2>
<p>rclone has 4 levels of logging, <code>ERROR</code>,
<code>NOTICE</code>, <code>INFO</code> and <code>DEBUG</code>.</p>
<p>By default, rclone logs to standard error. This means you can
redirect standard error and still see the normal output of rclone
commands (e.g. <code>rclone ls</code>).</p>
<p>By default, rclone will produce <code>Error</code> and
<code>Notice</code> level messages.</p>
<p>If you use the <code>-q</code> flag, rclone will only produce
<code>Error</code> messages.</p>
<p>If you use the <code>-v</code> flag, rclone will produce
<code>Error</code>, <code>Notice</code> and <code>Info</code>
messages.</p>
<p>If you use the <code>-vv</code> flag, rclone will produce
<code>Error</code>, <code>Notice</code>, <code>Info</code> and
<code>Debug</code> messages.</p>
<p>You can also control the log levels with the <code>--log-level</code>
flag.</p>
<p>If you use the <code>--log-file=FILE</code> option, rclone will
redirect <code>Error</code>, <code>Info</code> and <code>Debug</code>
messages along with standard error to FILE.</p>
<p>If you use the <code>--syslog</code> flag then rclone will log to
syslog and the <code>--syslog-facility</code> control which facility it
uses.</p>
<p>Rclone prefixes all log messages with their level in capitals, e.g.
INFO which makes it easy to grep the log file for different kinds of
information.</p>
<h2 id="metrics">Metrics</h2>
<p>Rclone can publish metrics in the OpenMetrics/Prometheus format.</p>
<p>To enable the metrics endpoint, use the <code>--metrics-addr</code>
flag. Metrics can also be published on the <code>--rc-addr</code> port
if the <code>--rc</code> flag and <code>--rc-enable-metrics</code> flags
are supplied or if using rclone rcd <code>--rc-enable-metrics</code></p>
<p>Rclone provides extensive configuration options for the metrics HTTP
endpoint. These settings are grouped under the Metrics section and have
a prefix <code>--metrics-*</code>.</p>
<p>When metrics are enabled with <code>--rc-enable-metrics</code>, they
will be published on the same port as the rc API. In this case, the
<code>--metrics-*</code> flags will be ignored, and the HTTP endpoint
configuration will be managed by the <code>--rc-*</code> parameters.</p>
<h2 id="exit-code">Exit Code</h2>
<p>If any errors occur during the command execution, rclone will exit
with a non-zero exit code. This allows scripts to detect when rclone
operations have failed.</p>
<p>During the startup phase, rclone will exit immediately if an error is
detected in the configuration. There will always be a log message
immediately before exiting.</p>
<p>When rclone is running it will accumulate errors as it goes along,
and only exit with a non-zero exit code if (after retries) there were
still failed transfers. For every error counted there will be a high
priority log message (visible with <code>-q</code>) showing the message
and which file caused the problem. A high priority message is also shown
when starting a retry so the user can see that any previous error
messages may not be valid after the retry. If rclone has done a retry it
will log a high priority message if the retry was successful.</p>
<h3 id="list-of-exit-codes">List of exit codes</h3>
<ul>
<li><code>0</code> - success</li>
<li><code>1</code> - Syntax or usage error</li>
<li><code>2</code> - Error not otherwise categorised</li>
<li><code>3</code> - Directory not found</li>
<li><code>4</code> - File not found</li>
<li><code>5</code> - Temporary error (one that more retries might fix)
(Retry errors)</li>
<li><code>6</code> - Less serious errors (like 461 errors from dropbox)
(NoRetry errors)</li>
<li><code>7</code> - Fatal error (one that more retries won't fix, like
account suspended) (Fatal errors)</li>
<li><code>8</code> - Transfer exceeded - limit set by --max-transfer
reached</li>
<li><code>9</code> - Operation successful, but no files transferred
(Requires <a
href="#error-on-no-transfer"><code>--error-on-no-transfer</code></a>)</li>
<li><code>10</code> - Duration exceeded - limit set by --max-duration
reached</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="environment-variables">Environment Variables</h2>
<p>Rclone can be configured entirely using environment variables. These
can be used to set defaults for options or config file entries.</p>
<h3 id="options-91">Options</h3>
<p>Every option in rclone can have its default set by environment
variable.</p>
<p>To find the name of the environment variable, first, take the long
option name, strip the leading <code>--</code>, change <code>-</code> to
<code>_</code>, make upper case and prepend <code>RCLONE_</code>.</p>
<p>For example, to always set <code>--stats 5s</code>, set the
environment variable <code>RCLONE_STATS=5s</code>. If you set stats on
the command line this will override the environment variable
setting.</p>
<p>Or to always use the trash in drive <code>--drive-use-trash</code>,
set <code>RCLONE_DRIVE_USE_TRASH=true</code>.</p>
<p>Verbosity is slightly different, the environment variable equivalent
of <code>--verbose</code> or <code>-v</code> is
<code>RCLONE_VERBOSE=1</code>, or for <code>-vv</code>,
<code>RCLONE_VERBOSE=2</code>.</p>
<p>The same parser is used for the options and the environment variables
so they take exactly the same form.</p>
<p>The options set by environment variables can be seen with the
<code>-vv</code> flag, e.g. <code>rclone version -vv</code>.</p>
<p>Options that can appear multiple times (type
<code>stringArray</code>) are treated slighly differently as environment
variables can only be defined once. In order to allow a simple mechanism
for adding one or many items, the input is treated as a <a
href="https://godoc.org/encoding/csv">CSV encoded</a> string. For
example</p>
<table>
<colgroup>
<col style="width: 52%" />
<col style="width: 47%" />
</colgroup>
<thead>
<tr class="header">
<th>Environment Variable</th>
<th>Equivalent options</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr class="odd">
<td><code>RCLONE_EXCLUDE="*.jpg"</code></td>
<td><code>--exclude "*.jpg"</code></td>
</tr>
<tr class="even">
<td><code>RCLONE_EXCLUDE="*.jpg,*.png"</code></td>
<td><code>--exclude "*.jpg"</code> <code>--exclude "*.png"</code></td>
</tr>
<tr class="odd">
<td><code>RCLONE_EXCLUDE='"*.jpg","*.png"'</code></td>
<td><code>--exclude "*.jpg"</code> <code>--exclude "*.png"</code></td>
</tr>
<tr class="even">
<td><code>RCLONE_EXCLUDE='"/directory with comma , in it /**"'</code></td>
<td>`--exclude "/directory with comma , in it /**"</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>If <code>stringArray</code> options are defined as environment
variables <strong>and</strong> options on the command line then all the
values will be used.</p>
<h3 id="config-file">Config file</h3>
<p>You can set defaults for values in the config file on an individual
remote basis. The names of the config items are documented in the page
for each backend.</p>
<p>To find the name of the environment variable, you need to set, take
<code>RCLONE_CONFIG_</code> + name of remote + <code>_</code> + name of
config file option and make it all uppercase. Note one implication here
is the remote's name must be convertible into a valid environment
variable name, so it can only contain letters, digits, or the
<code>_</code> (underscore) character.</p>
<p>For example, to configure an S3 remote named <code>mys3:</code>
without a config file (using unix ways of setting environment
variables):</p>
<pre><code>$ export RCLONE_CONFIG_MYS3_TYPE=s3
$ export RCLONE_CONFIG_MYS3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=XXX
$ export RCLONE_CONFIG_MYS3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=XXX
$ rclone lsd mys3:
-1 2016-09-21 12:54:21 -1 my-bucket
$ rclone listremotes | grep mys3
mys3:</code></pre>
<p>Note that if you want to create a remote using environment variables
you must create the <code>..._TYPE</code> variable as above.</p>
<p>Note that the name of a remote created using environment variable is
case insensitive, in contrast to regular remotes stored in config file
as documented <a href="#valid-remote-names">above</a>. You must write
the name in uppercase in the environment variable, but as seen from
example above it will be listed and can be accessed in lowercase, while
you can also refer to the same remote in uppercase:</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone lsd mys3:
-1 2016-09-21 12:54:21 -1 my-bucket
$ rclone lsd MYS3:
-1 2016-09-21 12:54:21 -1 my-bucket</code></pre>
<p>Note that you can only set the options of the immediate backend, so
RCLONE_CONFIG_MYS3CRYPT_ACCESS_KEY_ID has no effect, if myS3Crypt is a
crypt remote based on an S3 remote. However RCLONE_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID will
set the access key of all remotes using S3, including myS3Crypt.</p>
<p>Note also that now rclone has <a
href="#connection-strings">connection strings</a>, it is probably easier
to use those instead which makes the above example</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsd :s3,access_key_id=XXX,secret_access_key=XXX:</code></pre>
<h3 id="precedence">Precedence</h3>
<p>The various different methods of backend configuration are read in
this order and the first one with a value is used.</p>
<ul>
<li>Parameters in connection strings, e.g.
<code>myRemote,skip_links:</code></li>
<li>Flag values as supplied on the command line, e.g.
<code>--skip-links</code></li>
<li>Remote specific environment vars, e.g.
<code>RCLONE_CONFIG_MYREMOTE_SKIP_LINKS</code> (see above).</li>
<li>Backend-specific environment vars, e.g.
<code>RCLONE_LOCAL_SKIP_LINKS</code>.</li>
<li>Backend generic environment vars, e.g.
<code>RCLONE_SKIP_LINKS</code>.</li>
<li>Config file, e.g. <code>skip_links = true</code>.</li>
<li>Default values, e.g. <code>false</code> - these can't be
changed.</li>
</ul>
<p>So if both <code>--skip-links</code> is supplied on the command line
and an environment variable <code>RCLONE_LOCAL_SKIP_LINKS</code> is set,
the command line flag will take preference.</p>
<p>The backend configurations set by environment variables can be seen
with the <code>-vv</code> flag, e.g.
<code>rclone about myRemote: -vv</code>.</p>
<p>For non backend configuration the order is as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>Flag values as supplied on the command line, e.g.
<code>--stats 5s</code>.</li>
<li>Environment vars, e.g. <code>RCLONE_STATS=5s</code>.</li>
<li>Default values, e.g. <code>1m</code> - these can't be changed.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="other-environment-variables">Other environment variables</h3>
<ul>
<li><code>RCLONE_CONFIG_PASS</code> set to contain your config file
password (see <a href="#configuration-encryption">Configuration
Encryption</a> section)</li>
<li><code>HTTP_PROXY</code>, <code>HTTPS_PROXY</code> and
<code>NO_PROXY</code> (or the lowercase versions thereof).
<ul>
<li><code>HTTPS_PROXY</code> takes precedence over
<code>HTTP_PROXY</code> for https requests.</li>
<li>The environment values may be either a complete URL or a
"host[:port]" for, in which case the "http" scheme is assumed.</li>
</ul></li>
<li><code>USER</code> and <code>LOGNAME</code> values are used as
fallbacks for current username. The primary method for looking up
username is OS-specific: Windows API on Windows, real user ID in
/etc/passwd on Unix systems. In the documentation the current username
is simply referred to as <code>$USER</code>.</li>
<li><code>RCLONE_CONFIG_DIR</code> - rclone <strong>sets</strong> this
variable for use in config files and sub processes to point to the
directory holding the config file.</li>
</ul>
<p>The options set by environment variables can be seen with the
<code>-vv</code> and <code>--log-level=DEBUG</code> flags, e.g.
<code>rclone version -vv</code>.</p>
<h1 id="configuring-rclone-on-a-remote-headless-machine">Configuring
rclone on a remote / headless machine</h1>
<p>Some of the configurations (those involving oauth2) require an
Internet connected web browser.</p>
<p>If you are trying to set rclone up on a remote or headless box with
no browser available on it (e.g. a NAS or a server in a datacenter) then
you will need to use an alternative means of configuration. There are
two ways of doing it, described below.</p>
<h2 id="configuring-using-rclone-authorize">Configuring using rclone
authorize</h2>
<p>On the headless box run <code>rclone</code> config but answer
<code>N</code> to the <code>Use auto config?</code> question.</p>
<pre><code>Use auto config?
* Say Y if not sure
* Say N if you are working on a remote or headless machine
y) Yes (default)
n) No
y/n&gt; n
Option config_token.
For this to work, you will need rclone available on a machine that has
a web browser available.
For more help and alternate methods see: https://rclone.org/remote_setup/
Execute the following on the machine with the web browser (same rclone
version recommended):
rclone authorize &quot;onedrive&quot;
Then paste the result.
Enter a value.
config_token&gt;</code></pre>
<p>Then on your main desktop machine</p>
<pre><code>rclone authorize &quot;onedrive&quot;
If your browser doesn&#39;t open automatically go to the following link: http://127.0.0.1:53682/auth
Log in and authorize rclone for access
Waiting for code...
Got code
Paste the following into your remote machine ---&gt;
SECRET_TOKEN
&lt;---End paste</code></pre>
<p>Then back to the headless box, paste in the code</p>
<pre><code>config_token&gt; SECRET_TOKEN
--------------------
[acd12]
client_id =
client_secret =
token = SECRET_TOKEN
--------------------
y) Yes this is OK
e) Edit this remote
d) Delete this remote
y/e/d&gt;</code></pre>
<h2 id="configuring-by-copying-the-config-file">Configuring by copying
the config file</h2>
<p>Rclone stores all of its config in a single configuration file. This
can easily be copied to configure a remote rclone.</p>
<p>So first configure rclone on your desktop machine with</p>
<pre><code>rclone config</code></pre>
<p>to set up the config file.</p>
<p>Find the config file by running <code>rclone config file</code>, for
example</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone config file
Configuration file is stored at:
/home/user/.rclone.conf</code></pre>
<p>Now transfer it to the remote box (scp, cut paste, ftp, sftp, etc.)
and place it in the correct place (use <code>rclone config file</code>
on the remote box to find out where).</p>
<h2 id="configuring-using-ssh-tunnel">Configuring using SSH Tunnel</h2>
<p>Linux and MacOS users can utilize SSH Tunnel to redirect the headless
box port 53682 to local machine by using the following command:</p>
<pre><code>ssh -L localhost:53682:localhost:53682 username@remote_server</code></pre>
<p>Then on the headless box run <code>rclone config</code> and answer
<code>Y</code> to the <code>Use auto config?</code> question.</p>
<pre><code>Use auto config?
* Say Y if not sure
* Say N if you are working on a remote or headless machine
y) Yes (default)
n) No
y/n&gt; y</code></pre>
<p>Then copy and paste the auth url
<code>http://127.0.0.1:53682/auth?state=xxxxxxxxxxxx</code> to the
browser on your local machine, complete the auth and it is done.</p>
<h1 id="filtering-includes-and-excludes">Filtering, includes and
excludes</h1>
<p>Filter flags determine which files rclone <code>sync</code>,
<code>move</code>, <code>ls</code>, <code>lsl</code>,
<code>md5sum</code>, <code>sha1sum</code>, <code>size</code>,
<code>delete</code>, <code>check</code> and similar commands apply
to.</p>
<p>They are specified in terms of path/file name patterns; path/file
lists; file age and size, or presence of a file in a directory. Bucket
based remotes without the concept of directory apply filters to object
key, age and size in an analogous way.</p>
<p>Rclone <code>purge</code> does not obey filters.</p>
<p>To test filters without risk of damage to data, apply them to
<code>rclone ls</code>, or with the <code>--dry-run</code> and
<code>-vv</code> flags.</p>
<p>Rclone filter patterns can only be used in filter command line
options, not in the specification of a remote.</p>
<p>E.g. <code>rclone copy "remote:dir*.jpg" /path/to/dir</code> does not
have a filter effect.
<code>rclone copy remote:dir /path/to/dir --include "*.jpg"</code>
does.</p>
<p><strong>Important</strong> Avoid mixing any two of
<code>--include...</code>, <code>--exclude...</code> or
<code>--filter...</code> flags in an rclone command. The results might
not be what you expect. Instead use a <code>--filter...</code> flag.</p>
<h2 id="patterns-for-matching-pathfile-names">Patterns for matching
path/file names</h2>
<h3 id="patterns">Pattern syntax</h3>
<p>Here is a formal definition of the pattern syntax, <a
href="#examples">examples</a> are below.</p>
<p>Rclone matching rules follow a glob style:</p>
<pre><code>* matches any sequence of non-separator (/) characters
** matches any sequence of characters including / separators
? matches any single non-separator (/) character
[ [ ! ] { character-range } ]
character class (must be non-empty)
{ pattern-list }
pattern alternatives
{{ regexp }}
regular expression to match
c matches character c (c != *, **, ?, \, [, {, })
\c matches reserved character c (c = *, **, ?, \, [, {, }) or character class</code></pre>
<p>character-range:</p>
<pre><code>c matches character c (c != \, -, ])
\c matches reserved character c (c = \, -, ])
lo - hi matches character c for lo &lt;= c &lt;= hi</code></pre>
<p>pattern-list:</p>
<pre><code>pattern { , pattern }
comma-separated (without spaces) patterns</code></pre>
<p>character classes (see <a
href="https://golang.org/pkg/regexp/syntax/">Go regular expression
reference</a>) include:</p>
<pre><code>Named character classes (e.g. [\d], [^\d], [\D], [^\D])
Perl character classes (e.g. \s, \S, \w, \W)
ASCII character classes (e.g. [[:alnum:]], [[:alpha:]], [[:punct:]], [[:xdigit:]])</code></pre>
<p>regexp for advanced users to insert a regular expression - see <a
href="#regexp">below</a> for more info:</p>
<pre><code>Any re2 regular expression not containing `}}`</code></pre>
<p>If the filter pattern starts with a <code>/</code> then it only
matches at the top level of the directory tree, <strong>relative to the
root of the remote</strong> (not necessarily the root of the drive). If
it does not start with <code>/</code> then it is matched starting at the
<strong>end of the path/file name</strong> but it only matches a
complete path element - it must match from a <code>/</code> separator or
the beginning of the path/file.</p>
<pre><code>file.jpg - matches &quot;file.jpg&quot;
- matches &quot;directory/file.jpg&quot;
- doesn&#39;t match &quot;afile.jpg&quot;
- doesn&#39;t match &quot;directory/afile.jpg&quot;
/file.jpg - matches &quot;file.jpg&quot; in the root directory of the remote
- doesn&#39;t match &quot;afile.jpg&quot;
- doesn&#39;t match &quot;directory/file.jpg&quot;</code></pre>
<p>The top level of the remote might not be the top level of the
drive.</p>
<p>E.g. for a Microsoft Windows local directory structure</p>
<pre><code>F:
├── bkp
├── data
│ ├── excl
│ │ ├── 123.jpg
│ │ └── 456.jpg
│ ├── incl
│ │ └── document.pdf</code></pre>
<p>To copy the contents of folder <code>data</code> into folder
<code>bkp</code> excluding the contents of subfolder
<code>excl</code>the following command treats <code>F:\data</code> and
<code>F:\bkp</code> as top level for filtering.</p>
<p><code>rclone copy F:\data\ F:\bkp\ --exclude=/excl/**</code></p>
<p><strong>Important</strong> Use <code>/</code> in path/file name
patterns and not <code>\</code> even if running on Microsoft

<p>Simple patterns are case sensitive unless the

<p>Without <code>--ignore-case</code> (default)</p>
<pre><code>potato - matches &quot;potato&quot;

<p>With <code>--ignore-case</code></p>
<pre><code>potato - matches &quot;potato&quot;
- matches &quot;POTATO&quot;</code></pre>
<h2 id="regexp">Using regular expressions in filter patterns</h2>
<p>The syntax of filter patterns is glob style matching (like
<code>bash</code> uses) to make things easy for users. However this does
not provide absolute control over the matching, so for advanced users
rclone also provides a regular expression syntax.</p>
<p>The regular expressions used are as defined in the <a
href="https://golang.org/pkg/regexp/syntax/">Go regular expression
reference</a>. Regular expressions should be enclosed in <code>{{</code>
<code>}}</code>. They will match only the last path segment if the glob
doesn't start with <code>/</code> or the whole path name if it does.
Note that rclone does not attempt to parse the supplied regular
expression, meaning that using any regular expression filter will
prevent rclone from using <a href="#directory_filter">directory filter
rules</a>, as it will instead check every path against the supplied
regular expression(s).</p>
<p>Here is how the <code>{{regexp}}</code> is transformed into an full
regular expression to match the entire path:</p>
<pre><code>{{regexp}} becomes (^|/)(regexp)$
/{{regexp}} becomes ^(regexp)$</code></pre>
<p>Regexp syntax can be mixed with glob syntax, for example</p>
<pre><code>*.{{jpe?g}} to match file.jpg, file.jpeg but not file.png</code></pre>
<p>You can also use regexp flags - to set case insensitive, for
example</p>
<pre><code>*.{{(?i)jpg}} to match file.jpg, file.JPG but not file.png</code></pre>
<p>Be careful with wildcards in regular expressions - you don't want
them to match path separators normally. To match any file name starting
with <code>start</code> and ending with <code>end</code> write</p>
<pre><code>{{start[^/]*end\.jpg}}</code></pre>
<p>Not</p>
<pre><code>{{start.*end\.jpg}}</code></pre>
<p>Which will match a directory called <code>start</code> with a file
called <code>end.jpg</code> in it as the <code>.*</code> will match
<code>/</code> characters.</p>
<p>Note that you can use <code>-vv --dump filters</code> to show the
filter patterns in regexp format - rclone implements the glob patterns
by transforming them into regular expressions.</p>

<h2 id="how-filter-rules-work">How filter rules are applied to
files</h2>
<p>Rclone path/file name filters are made up of one or more of the
following flags:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>--include</code></li>
<li><code>--include-from</code></li>
<li><code>--exclude</code></li>
<li><code>--exclude-from</code></li>
<li><code>--filter</code></li>
<li><code>--filter-from</code></li>
</ul>
<p>There can be more than one instance of individual flags.</p>
<p>Rclone internally uses a combined list of all the include and exclude
rules. The order in which rules are processed can influence the result
of the filter.</p>
<p>All flags of the same type are processed together in the order above,
regardless of what order the different types of flags are included on
the command line.</p>
<p>Multiple instances of the same flag are processed from left to right
according to their position in the command line.</p>
<p>To mix up the order of processing includes and excludes use
<code>--filter...</code> flags.</p>
<p>Within <code>--include-from</code>, <code>--exclude-from</code> and
<code>--filter-from</code> flags rules are processed from top to bottom
of the referenced file.</p>
<p>If there is an <code>--include</code> or <code>--include-from</code>
flag specified, rclone implies a <code>- **</code> rule which it adds to
the bottom of the internal rule list. Specifying a <code>+</code> rule
with a <code>--filter...</code> flag does not imply that rule.</p>
<p>Each path/file name passed through rclone is matched against the
combined filter list. At first match to a rule the path/file name is
included or excluded and no further filter rules are processed for that
path/file.</p>
<p>If rclone does not find a match, after testing against all rules
(including the implied rule if appropriate), the path/file name is
included.</p>
<p>Any path/file included at that stage is processed by the rclone
command.</p>
<p><code>--files-from</code> and <code>--files-from-raw</code> flags
over-ride and cannot be combined with other filter options.</p>
<p>To see the internal combined rule list, in regular expression form,
for a command add the <code>--dump filters</code> flag. Running an
rclone command with <code>--dump filters</code> and <code>-vv</code>
flags lists the internal filter elements and shows how they are applied
to each source path/file. There is not currently a means provided to
pass regular expression filter options into rclone directly though
character class filter rules contain character classes. <a
href="https://golang.org/pkg/regexp/syntax/">Go regular expression
reference</a></p>
<h3 id="directory_filter">How filter rules are applied to
directories</h3>
<p>Rclone commands are applied to path/file names not directories. The
entire contents of a directory can be matched to a filter by the pattern
<code>directory/*</code> or recursively by
<code>directory/**</code>.</p>
<p>Directory filter rules are defined with a closing <code>/</code>
separator.</p>
<p>E.g. <code>/directory/subdirectory/</code> is an rclone directory
filter rule.</p>
<p>Rclone commands can use directory filter rules to determine whether
they recurse into subdirectories. This potentially optimises access to a
remote by avoiding listing unnecessary directories. Whether optimisation
is desirable depends on the specific filter rules and source remote
content.</p>
<p>If any <a href="#regexp">regular expression filters</a> are in use,
then no directory recursion optimisation is possible, as rclone must
check every path against the supplied regular expression(s).</p>
<p>Directory recursion optimisation occurs if either:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>A source remote does not support the rclone <code>ListR</code>
primitive. local, sftp, Microsoft OneDrive and WebDAV do not support
<code>ListR</code>. Google Drive and most bucket type storage do. <a
href="https://rclone.org/overview/#optional-features">Full
list</a></p></li>
<li><p>On other remotes (those that support <code>ListR</code>), if the
rclone command is not naturally recursive, and provided it is not run
with the <code>--fast-list</code> flag. <code>ls</code>,
<code>lsf -R</code> and <code>size</code> are naturally recursive but
<code>sync</code>, <code>copy</code> and <code>move</code> are
not.</p></li>
<li><p>Whenever the <code>--disable ListR</code> flag is applied to an
rclone command.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Rclone commands imply directory filter rules from path/file filter
rules. To view the directory filter rules rclone has implied for a
command specify the <code>--dump filters</code> flag.</p>
<p>E.g. for an include rule</p>
<pre><code>/a/*.jpg</code></pre>
<p>Rclone implies the directory include rule</p>
<pre><code>/a/</code></pre>
<p>Directory filter rules specified in an rclone command can limit the
scope of an rclone command but path/file filters still have to be
specified.</p>
<p>E.g. <code>rclone ls remote: --include /directory/</code> will not
match any files. Because it is an <code>--include</code> option the
<code>--exclude **</code> rule is implied, and the
<code>/directory/</code> pattern serves only to optimise access to the
remote by ignoring everything outside of that directory.</p>
<p>E.g. <code>rclone ls remote: --filter-from filter-list.txt</code>
with a file <code>filter-list.txt</code>:</p>
<pre><code>- /dir1/
- /dir2/
+ *.pdf
- **</code></pre>
<p>All files in directories <code>dir1</code> or <code>dir2</code> or
their subdirectories are completely excluded from the listing. Only
files of suffix <code>pdf</code> in the root of <code>remote:</code> or
its subdirectories are listed. The <code>- **</code> rule prevents
listing of any path/files not previously matched by the rules above.</p>
<p>Option <code>exclude-if-present</code> creates a directory exclude
rule based on the presence of a file in a directory and takes precedence
over other rclone directory filter rules.</p>
<p>When using pattern list syntax, if a pattern item contains either
<code>/</code> or <code>**</code>, then rclone will not able to imply a
directory filter rule from this pattern list.</p>
<p>E.g. for an include rule</p>
<pre><code>{dir1/**,dir2/**}</code></pre>
<p>Rclone will match files below directories <code>dir1</code> or
<code>dir2</code> only, but will not be able to use this filter to
exclude a directory <code>dir3</code> from being traversed.</p>
<p>Directory recursion optimisation may affect performance, but normally
not the result. One exception to this is sync operations with option
<code>--create-empty-src-dirs</code>, where any traversed empty
directories will be created. With the pattern list example
<code>{dir1/**,dir2/**}</code> above, this would create an empty
directory <code>dir3</code> on destination (when it exists on source).
Changing the filter to <code>{dir1,dir2}/**</code>, or splitting it into
two include rules <code>--include dir1/** --include dir2/**</code>, will
match the same files while also filtering directories, with the result
that an empty directory <code>dir3</code> will no longer be created.</p>
<h3 id="exclude---exclude-files-matching-pattern"><code>--exclude</code>
- Exclude files matching pattern</h3>
<p>Excludes path/file names from an rclone command based on a single
exclude rule.</p>
<p>This flag can be repeated. See above for the order filter flags are
processed in.</p>
<p><code>--exclude</code> should not be used with
<code>--include</code>, <code>--include-from</code>,
<code>--filter</code> or <code>--filter-from</code> flags.</p>
<p><code>--exclude</code> has no effect when combined with
<code>--files-from</code> or <code>--files-from-raw</code> flags.</p>
<p>E.g. <code>rclone ls remote: --exclude *.bak</code> excludes all .bak
files from listing.</p>
<p>E.g. <code>rclone size remote: --exclude "/dir/**"</code> returns the
total size of all files on <code>remote:</code> excluding those in root
directory <code>dir</code> and sub directories.</p>
<p>E.g. on Microsoft Windows
<code>rclone ls remote: --exclude "*\[{JP,KR,HK}\]*"</code> lists the
files in <code>remote:</code> without <code>[JP]</code> or
<code>[KR]</code> or <code>[HK]</code> in their name. Quotes prevent the
shell from interpreting the <code>\</code> characters.<code>\</code>
characters escape the <code>[</code> and <code>]</code> so an rclone
filter treats them literally rather than as a character-range. The
<code>{</code> and <code>}</code> define an rclone pattern list. For
other operating systems single quotes are required ie
<code>rclone ls remote: --exclude '*\[{JP,KR,HK}\]*'</code></p>
<h3
id="exclude-from---read-exclude-patterns-from-file"><code>--exclude-from</code>
- Read exclude patterns from file</h3>
<p>Excludes path/file names from an rclone command based on rules in a
named file. The file contains a list of remarks and pattern rules.</p>
<p>For an example <code>exclude-file.txt</code>:</p>
<pre><code># a sample exclude rule file
*.bak
file2.jpg</code></pre>
<p><code>rclone ls remote: --exclude-from exclude-file.txt</code> lists
the files on <code>remote:</code> except those named
<code>file2.jpg</code> or with a suffix <code>.bak</code>. That is
equivalent to
<code>rclone ls remote: --exclude file2.jpg --exclude "*.bak"</code>.</p>
<p>This flag can be repeated. See above for the order filter flags are
processed in.</p>
<p>The <code>--exclude-from</code> flag is useful where multiple exclude
filter rules are applied to an rclone command.</p>
<p><code>--exclude-from</code> should not be used with
<code>--include</code>, <code>--include-from</code>,
<code>--filter</code> or <code>--filter-from</code> flags.</p>
<p><code>--exclude-from</code> has no effect when combined with
<code>--files-from</code> or <code>--files-from-raw</code> flags.</p>
<p><code>--exclude-from</code> followed by <code>-</code> reads filter
rules from standard input.</p>
<h3 id="include---include-files-matching-pattern"><code>--include</code>
- Include files matching pattern</h3>
<p>Adds a single include rule based on path/file names to an rclone
command.</p>
<p>This flag can be repeated. See above for the order filter flags are
processed in.</p>
<p><code>--include</code> has no effect when combined with
<code>--files-from</code> or <code>--files-from-raw</code> flags.</p>
<p><code>--include</code> implies <code>--exclude **</code> at the end
of an rclone internal filter list. Therefore if you mix
<code>--include</code> and <code>--include-from</code> flags with
<code>--exclude</code>, <code>--exclude-from</code>,
<code>--filter</code> or <code>--filter-from</code>, you must use
include rules for all the files you want in the include statement. For
more flexibility use the <code>--filter-from</code> flag.</p>
<p>E.g. <code>rclone ls remote: --include "*.{png,jpg}"</code> lists the
files on <code>remote:</code> with suffix <code>.png</code> and
<code>.jpg</code>. All other files are excluded.</p>
<p>E.g. multiple rclone copy commands can be combined with
<code>--include</code> and a pattern-list.</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy /vol1/A remote:A
rclone copy /vol1/B remote:B</code></pre>
<p>is equivalent to:</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy /vol1 remote: --include &quot;{A,B}/**&quot;</code></pre>
<p>E.g. <code>rclone ls remote:/wheat --include "??[^[:punct:]]*"</code>
lists the files <code>remote:</code> directory <code>wheat</code> (and
subdirectories) whose third character is not punctuation. This example
uses an <a href="https://golang.org/pkg/regexp/syntax/">ASCII character
class</a>.</p>
<h3
id="include-from---read-include-patterns-from-file"><code>--include-from</code>
- Read include patterns from file</h3>
<p>Adds path/file names to an rclone command based on rules in a named
file. The file contains a list of remarks and pattern rules.</p>
<p>For an example <code>include-file.txt</code>:</p>
<pre><code># a sample include rule file
*.jpg
file2.avi</code></pre>
<p><code>rclone ls remote: --include-from include-file.txt</code> lists
the files on <code>remote:</code> with name <code>file2.avi</code> or
suffix <code>.jpg</code>. That is equivalent to
<code>rclone ls remote: --include file2.avi --include "*.jpg"</code>.</p>
<p>This flag can be repeated. See above for the order filter flags are
processed in.</p>
<p>The <code>--include-from</code> flag is useful where multiple include
filter rules are applied to an rclone command.</p>
<p><code>--include-from</code> implies <code>--exclude **</code> at the
end of an rclone internal filter list. Therefore if you mix
<code>--include</code> and <code>--include-from</code> flags with
<code>--exclude</code>, <code>--exclude-from</code>,
<code>--filter</code> or <code>--filter-from</code>, you must use
include rules for all the files you want in the include statement. For
more flexibility use the <code>--filter-from</code> flag.</p>
<p><code>--exclude-from</code> has no effect when combined with
<code>--files-from</code> or <code>--files-from-raw</code> flags.</p>
<p><code>--exclude-from</code> followed by <code>-</code> reads filter
rules from standard input.</p>
<h3 id="filter---add-a-file-filtering-rule"><code>--filter</code> - Add
a file-filtering rule</h3>
<p>Specifies path/file names to an rclone command, based on a single
include or exclude rule, in <code>+</code> or <code>-</code> format.</p>
<p>This flag can be repeated. See above for the order filter flags are
processed in.</p>
<p><code>--filter +</code> differs from <code>--include</code>. In the
case of <code>--include</code> rclone implies an
<code>--exclude *</code> rule which it adds to the bottom of the
internal rule list. <code>--filter...+</code> does not imply that
rule.</p>
<p><code>--filter</code> has no effect when combined with
<code>--files-from</code> or <code>--files-from-raw</code> flags.</p>
<p><code>--filter</code> should not be used with <code>--include</code>,
<code>--include-from</code>, <code>--exclude</code> or
<code>--exclude-from</code> flags.</p>
<p>E.g. <code>rclone ls remote: --filter "- *.bak"</code> excludes all
<code>.bak</code> files from a list of <code>remote:</code>.</p>
<h3
id="filter-from---read-filtering-patterns-from-a-file"><code>--filter-from</code>
- Read filtering patterns from a file</h3>
<p>Adds path/file names to an rclone command based on rules in a named
file. The file contains a list of remarks and pattern rules. Include
rules start with <code>+</code> and exclude rules with <code>-</code>.
<code>!</code> clears existing rules. Rules are processed in the order
they are defined.</p>
<p>This flag can be repeated. See above for the order filter flags are
processed in.</p>
<p>Arrange the order of filter rules with the most restrictive first and
work down.</p>
<p>Lines starting with # or ; are ignored, and can be used to write
comments. Inline comments are not supported. <em>Use
<code>-vv --dump filters</code> to see how they appear in the final
regexp.</em></p>
<p>E.g. for <code>filter-file.txt</code>:</p>
<pre><code># a sample filter rule file
- secret*.jpg
+ *.jpg
+ *.png
+ file2.avi
- /dir/tmp/** # WARNING! This text will be treated as part of the path.
- /dir/Trash/**
+ /dir/**
# exclude everything else
- *</code></pre>
<p><code>rclone ls remote: --filter-from filter-file.txt</code> lists
the path/files on <code>remote:</code> including all <code>jpg</code>
and <code>png</code> files, excluding any matching
<code>secret*.jpg</code> and including <code>file2.avi</code>. It also
includes everything in the directory <code>dir</code> at the root of
<code>remote</code>, except <code>remote:dir/Trash</code> which it
excludes. Everything else is excluded.</p>
<p>E.g. for an alternative <code>filter-file.txt</code>:</p>
<pre><code>- secret*.jpg
+ *.jpg
+ *.png
+ file2.avi
- *</code></pre>
<p>Files <code>file1.jpg</code>, <code>file3.png</code> and
<code>file2.avi</code> are listed whilst <code>secret17.jpg</code> and
files without the suffix <code>.jpg</code> or <code>.png</code> are
excluded.</p>
<p>E.g. for an alternative <code>filter-file.txt</code>:</p>
<pre><code>+ *.jpg
+ *.gif
!
+ 42.doc
- *</code></pre>
<p>Only file 42.doc is listed. Prior rules are cleared by the
<code>!</code>.</p>
<h3
id="files-from---read-list-of-source-file-names"><code>--files-from</code>
- Read list of source-file names</h3>
<p>Adds path/files to an rclone command from a list in a named file.
Rclone processes the path/file names in the order of the list, and no
others.</p>
<p>Other filter flags (<code>--include</code>,
<code>--include-from</code>, <code>--exclude</code>,
<code>--exclude-from</code>, <code>--filter</code> and
<code>--filter-from</code>) are ignored when <code>--files-from</code>
is used.</p>
<p><code>--files-from</code> expects a list of files as its input.
Leading or trailing whitespace is stripped from the input lines. Lines
starting with <code>#</code> or <code>;</code> are ignored.</p>
<p>Rclone commands with a <code>--files-from</code> flag traverse the
remote, treating the names in <code>--files-from</code> as a set of
filters.</p>
<p>If the <code>--no-traverse</code> and <code>--files-from</code> flags
are used together an rclone command does not traverse the remote.
Instead it addresses each path/file named in the file individually. For
each path/file name, that requires typically 1 API call. This can be
efficient for a short <code>--files-from</code> list and a remote
containing many files.</p>
<p>Rclone commands do not error if any names in the
<code>--files-from</code> file are missing from the source remote.</p>
<p>The <code>--files-from</code> flag can be repeated in a single rclone
command to read path/file names from more than one file. The files are
read from left to right along the command line.</p>
<p>Paths within the <code>--files-from</code> file are interpreted as
starting with the root specified in the rclone command. Leading
<code>/</code> separators are ignored. See <a
href="#files-from-raw-read-list-of-source-file-names-without-any-processing">--files-from-raw</a>
if you need the input to be processed in a raw manner.</p>
<p>E.g. for a file <code>files-from.txt</code>:</p>
<pre><code># comment
file1.jpg
subdir/file2.jpg</code></pre>
<p><code>rclone copy --files-from files-from.txt /home/me/pics remote:pics</code>
copies the following, if they exist, and only those files.</p>
<pre><code>/home/me/pics/file1.jpg → remote:pics/file1.jpg
/home/me/pics/subdir/file2.jpg → remote:pics/subdir/file2.jpg</code></pre>
<p>E.g. to copy the following files referenced by their absolute
paths:</p>
<pre><code>/home/user1/42
/home/user1/dir/ford
/home/user2/prefect</code></pre>
<p>First find a common subdirectory - in this case <code>/home</code>
and put the remaining files in <code>files-from.txt</code> with or
without leading <code>/</code>, e.g.</p>
<pre><code>user1/42
user1/dir/ford
user2/prefect</code></pre>
<p>Then copy these to a remote:</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy --files-from files-from.txt /home remote:backup</code></pre>
<p>The three files are transferred as follows:</p>
<pre><code>/home/user1/42 → remote:backup/user1/important
/home/user1/dir/ford → remote:backup/user1/dir/file
/home/user2/prefect → remote:backup/user2/stuff</code></pre>
<p>Alternatively if <code>/</code> is chosen as root
<code>files-from.txt</code> will be:</p>
<pre><code>/home/user1/42
/home/user1/dir/ford
/home/user2/prefect</code></pre>
<p>The copy command will be:</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy --files-from files-from.txt / remote:backup</code></pre>
<p>Then there will be an extra <code>home</code> directory on the
remote:</p>
<pre><code>/home/user1/42 → remote:backup/home/user1/42
/home/user1/dir/ford → remote:backup/home/user1/dir/ford
/home/user2/prefect → remote:backup/home/user2/prefect</code></pre>
<h3
id="files-from-raw---read-list-of-source-file-names-without-any-processing"><code>--files-from-raw</code>
- Read list of source-file names without any processing</h3>
<p>This flag is the same as <code>--files-from</code> except that input
is read in a raw manner. Lines with leading / trailing whitespace, and
lines starting with <code>;</code> or <code>#</code> are read without
any processing. <a href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_lsf/">rclone
lsf</a> has a compatible format that can be used to export file lists
from remotes for input to <code>--files-from-raw</code>.</p>
<h3
id="ignore-case---make-searches-case-insensitive"><code>--ignore-case</code>
- make searches case insensitive</h3>
<p>By default, rclone filter patterns are case sensitive. The
<code>--ignore-case</code> flag makes all of the filters patterns on the
command line case insensitive.</p>
<p>E.g. <code>--include "zaphod.txt"</code> does not match a file
<code>Zaphod.txt</code>. With <code>--ignore-case</code> a match is
made.</p>
<h2 id="quoting-shell-metacharacters">Quoting shell metacharacters</h2>
<p>Rclone commands with filter patterns containing shell metacharacters
may not as work as expected in your shell and may require quoting.</p>
<p>E.g. linux, OSX (<code>*</code> metacharacter)</p>
<ul>
<li><code>--include \*.jpg</code></li>
<li><code>--include '*.jpg'</code></li>
<li><code>--include='*.jpg'</code></li>
</ul>
<p>Microsoft Windows expansion is done by the command, not shell, so
<code>--include *.jpg</code> does not require quoting.</p>
<p>If the rclone error
<code>Command .... needs .... arguments maximum: you provided .... non flag arguments:</code>
is encountered, the cause is commonly spaces within the name of a remote
or flag value. The fix then is to quote values containing spaces.</p>
<h2 id="other-filters">Other filters</h2>
<h3
id="min-size---dont-transfer-any-file-smaller-than-this"><code>--min-size</code>

<p>Controls the minimum size file within the scope of an rclone command.
Default units are <code>KiB</code> but abbreviations <code>B</code>,
<code>K</code>, <code>M</code>, <code>G</code>, <code>T</code> or
<code>P</code> are valid.</p>
<p>E.g. <code>rclone ls remote: --min-size 50k</code> lists files on
<code>remote:</code> of 50 KiB size or larger.</p>
<p>See <a href="https://rclone.org/docs/#size-option">the size option
docs</a> for more info.</p>
<h3
id="max-size---dont-transfer-any-file-larger-than-this"><code>--max-size</code>
- Don't transfer any file larger than this</h3>
<p>Controls the maximum size file within the scope of an rclone command.
Default units are <code>KiB</code> but abbreviations <code>B</code>,
<code>K</code>, <code>M</code>, <code>G</code>, <code>T</code> or
<code>P</code> are valid.</p>
<p>E.g. <code>rclone ls remote: --max-size 1G</code> lists files on
<code>remote:</code> of 1 GiB size or smaller.</p>
<p>See <a href="https://rclone.org/docs/#size-option">the size option
docs</a> for more info.</p>
<h3
id="max-age---dont-transfer-any-file-older-than-this"><code>--max-age</code>
- Don't transfer any file older than this</h3>
<p>Controls the maximum age of files within the scope of an rclone
command.</p>
<p><code>--max-age</code> applies only to files and not to
directories.</p>
<p>E.g. <code>rclone ls remote: --max-age 2d</code> lists files on
<code>remote:</code> of 2 days old or less.</p>
<p>See <a href="https://rclone.org/docs/#time-option">the time option
docs</a> for valid formats.</p>
<h3
id="min-age---dont-transfer-any-file-younger-than-this"><code>--min-age</code>
- Don't transfer any file younger than this</h3>
<p>Controls the minimum age of files within the scope of an rclone
command. (see <code>--max-age</code> for valid formats)</p>
<p><code>--min-age</code> applies only to files and not to
directories.</p>
<p>E.g. <code>rclone ls remote: --min-age 2d</code> lists files on
<code>remote:</code> of 2 days old or more.</p>
<p>See <a href="https://rclone.org/docs/#time-option">the time option
docs</a> for valid formats.</p>
<h2 id="other-flags">Other flags</h2>
<h3
id="delete-excluded---delete-files-on-dest-excluded-from-sync"><code>--delete-excluded</code>
- Delete files on dest excluded from sync</h3>
<p><strong>Important</strong> this flag is dangerous to your data - use
with <code>--dry-run</code> and <code>-v</code> first.</p>
<p>In conjunction with <code>rclone sync</code>,
<code>--delete-excluded</code> deletes any files on the destination
which are excluded from the command.</p>
<p>E.g. the scope of <code>rclone sync --interactive A: B:</code> can be
restricted:</p>
<pre><code>rclone --min-size 50k --delete-excluded sync A: B:</code></pre>
<p>All files on <code>B:</code> which are less than 50 KiB are deleted
because they are excluded from the rclone sync command.</p>
<h3
id="dump-filters---dump-the-filters-to-the-output"><code>--dump filters</code>
- dump the filters to the output</h3>
<p>Dumps the defined filters to standard output in regular expression
format.</p>
<p>Useful for debugging.</p>
<h2 id="exclude-directory-based-on-a-file">Exclude directory based on a
file</h2>
<p>The <code>--exclude-if-present</code> flag controls whether a
directory is within the scope of an rclone command based on the presence
of a named file within it. The flag can be repeated to check for
multiple file names, presence of any of them will exclude the
directory.</p>
<p>This flag has a priority over other filter flags.</p>
<p>E.g. for the following directory structure:</p>
<pre><code>dir1/file1
dir1/dir2/file2
dir1/dir2/dir3/file3
dir1/dir2/dir3/.ignore</code></pre>
<p>The command <code>rclone ls --exclude-if-present .ignore dir1</code>
does not list <code>dir3</code>, <code>file3</code> or
<code>.ignore</code>.</p>
<h2 id="metadata">Metadata filters</h2>
<p>The metadata filters work in a very similar way to the normal file
name filters, except they match <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#metadata">metadata</a> on the object.</p>
<p>The metadata should be specified as <code>key=value</code> patterns.
This may be wildcarded using the normal <a href="#patterns">filter
patterns</a> or <a href="#regexp">regular expressions</a>.</p>
<p>For example if you wished to list only local files with a mode of
<code>100664</code> you could do that with:</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsf -M --files-only --metadata-include &quot;mode=100664&quot; .</code></pre>
<p>Or if you wished to show files with an <code>atime</code>,
<code>mtime</code> or <code>btime</code> at a given date:</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsf -M --files-only --metadata-include &quot;[abm]time=2022-12-16*&quot; .</code></pre>
<p>Like file filtering, metadata filtering only applies to files not to
directories.</p>
<p>The filters can be applied using these flags.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>--metadata-include</code> - Include metadatas matching
pattern</li>
<li><code>--metadata-include-from</code> - Read metadata include
patterns from file (use - to read from stdin)</li>
<li><code>--metadata-exclude</code> - Exclude metadatas matching
pattern</li>
<li><code>--metadata-exclude-from</code> - Read metadata exclude
patterns from file (use - to read from stdin)</li>
<li><code>--metadata-filter</code> - Add a metadata filtering rule</li>
<li><code>--metadata-filter-from</code> - Read metadata filtering
patterns from a file (use - to read from stdin)</li>
</ul>
<p>Each flag can be repeated. See the section on <a
href="#how-filter-rules-work">how filter rules are applied</a> for more
details - these flags work in an identical way to the file name
filtering flags, but instead of file name patterns have metadata
patterns.</p>
<h2 id="common-pitfalls">Common pitfalls</h2>
<p>The most frequent filter support issues on the <a
href="https://forum.rclone.org/">rclone forum</a> are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Not using paths relative to the root of the remote</li>
<li>Not using <code>/</code> to match from the root of a remote</li>
<li>Not using <code>**</code> to match the contents of a directory</li>
</ul>
<h1 id="gui-experimental">GUI (Experimental)</h1>
<p>Rclone can serve a web based GUI (graphical user interface). This is
somewhat experimental at the moment so things may be subject to
change.</p>
<p>Run this command in a terminal and rclone will download and then
display the GUI in a web browser.</p>
<pre><code>rclone rcd --rc-web-gui</code></pre>
<p>This will produce logs like this and rclone needs to continue to run
to serve the GUI:</p>
<pre><code>2019/08/25 11:40:14 NOTICE: A new release for gui is present at https://github.com/rclone/rclone-webui-react/releases/download/v0.0.6/currentbuild.zip
2019/08/25 11:40:14 NOTICE: Downloading webgui binary. Please wait. [Size: 3813937, Path : /home/USER/.cache/rclone/webgui/v0.0.6.zip]

2019/08/25 11:40:16 NOTICE: Serving remote control on http://127.0.0.1:5572/</code></pre>
<p>This assumes you are running rclone locally on your machine. It is
possible to separate the rclone and the GUI - see below for details.</p>
<p>If you wish to check for updates then you can add
<code>--rc-web-gui-update</code> to the command line.</p>
<p>If you find your GUI broken, you may force it to update by add
<code>--rc-web-gui-force-update</code>.</p>
<p>By default, rclone will open your browser. Add
<code>--rc-web-gui-no-open-browser</code> to disable this feature.</p>
<h2 id="using-the-gui">Using the GUI</h2>
<p>Once the GUI opens, you will be looking at the dashboard which has an
overall overview.</p>
<p>On the left hand side you will see a series of view buttons you can
click on:</p>
<ul>
<li>Dashboard - main overview</li>
<li>Configs - examine and create new configurations</li>
<li>Explorer - view, download and upload files to the cloud storage
systems</li>
<li>Backend - view or alter the backend config</li>
<li>Log out</li>
</ul>
<p>(More docs and walkthrough video to come!)</p>
<h2 id="how-it-works">How it works</h2>
<p>When you run the <code>rclone rcd --rc-web-gui</code> this is what
happens</p>
<ul>
<li>Rclone starts but only runs the remote control API ("rc").</li>
<li>The API is bound to localhost with an auto-generated username and
password.</li>
<li>If the API bundle is missing then rclone will download it.</li>
<li>rclone will start serving the files from the API bundle over the
same port as the API</li>
<li>rclone will open the browser with a <code>login_token</code> so it
can log straight in.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="advanced-use">Advanced use</h2>
<p>The <code>rclone rcd</code> may use any of the <a
href="https://rclone.org/rc/#supported-parameters">flags documented on
the rc page</a>.</p>
<p>The flag <code>--rc-web-gui</code> is shorthand for</p>
<ul>
<li>Download the web GUI if necessary</li>
<li>Check we are using some authentication</li>
<li><code>--rc-user gui</code></li>
<li><code>--rc-pass &lt;random password&gt;</code></li>
<li><code>--rc-serve</code></li>
</ul>
<p>These flags can be overridden as desired.</p>
<p>See also the <a href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_rcd/">rclone
rcd documentation</a>.</p>
<h3 id="example-running-a-public-gui">Example: Running a public GUI</h3>
<p>For example the GUI could be served on a public port over SSL using
an htpasswd file using the following flags:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>--rc-web-gui</code></li>
<li><code>--rc-addr :443</code></li>
<li><code>--rc-htpasswd /path/to/htpasswd</code></li>
<li><code>--rc-cert /path/to/ssl.crt</code></li>
<li><code>--rc-key /path/to/ssl.key</code></li>
</ul>
<h3 id="example-running-a-gui-behind-a-proxy">Example: Running a GUI
behind a proxy</h3>
<p>If you want to run the GUI behind a proxy at <code>/rclone</code> you
could use these flags:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>--rc-web-gui</code></li>
<li><code>--rc-baseurl rclone</code></li>
<li><code>--rc-htpasswd /path/to/htpasswd</code></li>
</ul>
<p>Or instead of htpasswd if you just want a single user and
password:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>--rc-user me</code></li>
<li><code>--rc-pass mypassword</code></li>
</ul>
<h2 id="project">Project</h2>

the rc interface in order to use any methods which access any rclone
remotes. Eg <code>operations/list</code> is denied as it involved
creating a remote as is <code>sync/copy</code>.</p>
<p>If this is set then no authorisation will be required on the server

<h2 id="api-rc">Accessing the remote control via the rclone rc
command</h2>
<p>Rclone itself implements the remote control protocol in its
<code>rclone rc</code> command.</p>
<p>You can use it like this</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone rc rc/noop param1=one param2=two
{
&quot;param1&quot;: &quot;one&quot;,
&quot;param2&quot;: &quot;two&quot;
}</code></pre>
<p>Run <code>rclone rc</code> on its own to see the help for the
installed remote control commands.</p>
<h2 id="json-input">JSON input</h2>
<p><code>rclone rc</code> also supports a <code>--json</code> flag which
can be used to send more complicated input parameters.</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone rc --json &#39;{ &quot;p1&quot;: [1,&quot;2&quot;,null,4], &quot;p2&quot;: { &quot;a&quot;:1, &quot;b&quot;:2 } }&#39; rc/noop
{
&quot;p1&quot;: [
1,
&quot;2&quot;,
null,
4
],
&quot;p2&quot;: {
&quot;a&quot;: 1,
&quot;b&quot;: 2
}
}</code></pre>
<p>If the parameter being passed is an object then it can be passed as a
JSON string rather than using the <code>--json</code> flag which
simplifies the command line.</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc operations/list fs=/tmp remote=test opt=&#39;{&quot;showHash&quot;: true}&#39;</code></pre>
<p>Rather than</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc operations/list --json &#39;{&quot;fs&quot;: &quot;/tmp&quot;, &quot;remote&quot;: &quot;test&quot;, &quot;opt&quot;: {&quot;showHash&quot;: true}}&#39;</code></pre>
<h2 id="special-parameters">Special parameters</h2>
<p>The rc interface supports some special parameters which apply to
<strong>all</strong> commands. These start with <code>_</code> to show
they are different.</p>
<h3 id="running-asynchronous-jobs-with-_async-true">Running asynchronous
jobs with _async = true</h3>
<p>Each rc call is classified as a job and it is assigned its own id. By
default jobs are executed immediately as they are created or
synchronously.</p>
<p>If <code>_async</code> has a true value when supplied to an rc call
then it will return immediately with a job id and the task will be run
in the background. The <code>job/status</code> call can be used to get
information of the background job. The job can be queried for up to 1
minute after it has finished.</p>
<p>It is recommended that potentially long running jobs, e.g.
<code>sync/sync</code>, <code>sync/copy</code>, <code>sync/move</code>,
<code>operations/purge</code> are run with the <code>_async</code> flag
to avoid any potential problems with the HTTP request and response
timing out.</p>
<p>Starting a job with the <code>_async</code> flag:</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone rc --json &#39;{ &quot;p1&quot;: [1,&quot;2&quot;,null,4], &quot;p2&quot;: { &quot;a&quot;:1, &quot;b&quot;:2 }, &quot;_async&quot;: true }&#39; rc/noop
{
&quot;jobid&quot;: 2
}</code></pre>
<p>Query the status to see if the job has finished. For more information
on the meaning of these return parameters see the
<code>job/status</code> call.</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone rc --json &#39;{ &quot;jobid&quot;:2 }&#39; job/status
{
&quot;duration&quot;: 0.000124163,
&quot;endTime&quot;: &quot;2018-10-27T11:38:07.911245881+01:00&quot;,

<p><code>job/list</code> can be used to show the running or recently
completed jobs</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone rc job/list
{
&quot;jobids&quot;: [
2
]
}</code></pre>
<h3 id="setting-config-flags-with-_config">Setting config flags with
_config</h3>
<p>If you wish to set config (the equivalent of the global flags) for
the duration of an rc call only then pass in the <code>_config</code>
parameter.</p>
<p>This should be in the same format as the <code>config</code> key
returned by <a href="#options-get">options/get</a>.</p>
<p>For example, if you wished to run a sync with the
<code>--checksum</code> parameter, you would pass this parameter in your
JSON blob.</p>
<pre><code>&quot;_config&quot;:{&quot;CheckSum&quot;: true}</code></pre>
<p>If using <code>rclone rc</code> this could be passed as</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc sync/sync ... _config=&#39;{&quot;CheckSum&quot;: true}&#39;</code></pre>
<p>Any config parameters you don't set will inherit the global defaults
which were set with command line flags or environment variables.</p>
<p>Note that it is possible to set some values as strings or integers -
see <a href="#data-types">data types</a> for more info. Here is an
example setting the equivalent of <code>--buffer-size</code> in string
or integer format.</p>
<pre><code>&quot;_config&quot;:{&quot;BufferSize&quot;: &quot;42M&quot;}
&quot;_config&quot;:{&quot;BufferSize&quot;: 44040192}</code></pre>
<p>If you wish to check the <code>_config</code> assignment has worked
properly then calling <code>options/local</code> will show what the
value got set to.</p>
<h3 id="setting-filter-flags-with-_filter">Setting filter flags with
_filter</h3>
<p>If you wish to set filters for the duration of an rc call only then
pass in the <code>_filter</code> parameter.</p>
<p>This should be in the same format as the <code>filter</code> key
returned by <a href="#options-get">options/get</a>.</p>
<p>For example, if you wished to run a sync with these flags</p>
<pre><code>--max-size 1M --max-age 42s --include &quot;a&quot; --include &quot;b&quot;</code></pre>
<p>you would pass this parameter in your JSON blob.</p>
<pre><code>&quot;_filter&quot;:{&quot;MaxSize&quot;:&quot;1M&quot;, &quot;IncludeRule&quot;:[&quot;a&quot;,&quot;b&quot;], &quot;MaxAge&quot;:&quot;42s&quot;}</code></pre>
<p>If using <code>rclone rc</code> this could be passed as</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc ... _filter=&#39;{&quot;MaxSize&quot;:&quot;1M&quot;, &quot;IncludeRule&quot;:[&quot;a&quot;,&quot;b&quot;], &quot;MaxAge&quot;:&quot;42s&quot;}&#39;</code></pre>

<p>If you wish to check the <code>_filter</code> assignment has worked
properly then calling <code>options/local</code> will show what the
value got set to.</p>
<h3 id="assigning-operations-to-groups-with-_group-value">Assigning
operations to groups with _group = value</h3>
<p>Each rc call has its own stats group for tracking its metrics. By
default grouping is done by the composite group name from prefix
<code>job/</code> and id of the job like so <code>job/1</code>.</p>
<p>If <code>_group</code> has a value then stats for that request will
be grouped under that value. This allows caller to group stats under
their own name.</p>
<p>Stats for specific group can be accessed by passing
<code>group</code> to <code>core/stats</code>:</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone rc --json &#39;{ &quot;group&quot;: &quot;job/1&quot; }&#39; core/stats
{
&quot;speed&quot;: 12345
...
}</code></pre>
<h2 id="data-types">Data types</h2>
<p>When the API returns types, these will mostly be straight forward
integer, string or boolean types.</p>
<p>However some of the types returned by the <a

configuration options. This can be used to build user interfaces for
displaying and setting any rclone option.</p>
<p>These consist of arrays of <code>Option</code> blocks. These have the
following format. Each block describes a single option.</p>

is the sentence shown when running <code>rclone help flags</code>.</p>
<h2 id="specifying-remotes-to-work-on">Specifying remotes to work
on</h2>
<p>Remotes are specified with the <code>fs=</code>, <code>srcFs=</code>,
<code>dstFs=</code> parameters depending on the command being used.</p>
<p>The parameters can be a string as per the rest of rclone, eg
<code>s3:bucket/path</code> or <code>:sftp:/my/dir</code>. They can also
be specified as JSON blobs.</p>
<p>If specifying a JSON blob it should be a object mapping strings to
strings. These values will be used to configure the remote. There are 3
special values which may be set:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>type</code> - set to <code>type</code> to specify a remote
called <code>:type:</code></li>
<li><code>_name</code> - set to <code>name</code> to specify a remote
called <code>name:</code></li>
<li><code>_root</code> - sets the root of the remote - may be empty</li>
</ul>
<p>One of <code>_name</code> or <code>type</code> should normally be
set. If the <code>local</code> backend is desired then <code>type</code>
should be set to <code>local</code>. If <code>_root</code> isn't
specified then it defaults to the root of the remote.</p>
<p>For example this JSON is equivalent to <code>remote:/tmp</code></p>
<pre><code>{
&quot;_name&quot;: &quot;remote&quot;,
&quot;_root&quot;: &quot;/tmp&quot;
}</code></pre>
<p>And this is equivalent to
<code>:sftp,host='example.com':/tmp</code></p>
<pre><code>{
&quot;type&quot;: &quot;sftp&quot;,
&quot;host&quot;: &quot;example.com&quot;,
&quot;_root&quot;: &quot;/tmp&quot;
}</code></pre>
<p>And this is equivalent to <code>/tmp/dir</code></p>
<pre><code>{
type = &quot;local&quot;,
_root = &quot;/tmp/dir&quot;
}</code></pre>
<h2 id="supported-commands">Supported commands</h2>
<h3 id="backend-command">backend/command: Runs a backend command.</h3>

<ul>
<li>command - a string with the command name</li>
<li>fs - a remote name string e.g. "drive:"</li>
<li>arg - a list of arguments for the backend command</li>
<li>opt - a map of string to string of options</li>
</ul>
<p>Returns:</p>
<ul>
<li>result - result from the backend command</li>
</ul>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc backend/command command=noop fs=. -o echo=yes -o blue -a path1 -a path2</code></pre>
<p>Returns</p>
<pre><code>{
&quot;result&quot;: {
&quot;arg&quot;: [
&quot;path1&quot;,
&quot;path2&quot;
],
&quot;name&quot;: &quot;noop&quot;,
&quot;opt&quot;: {
&quot;blue&quot;: &quot;&quot;,
&quot;echo&quot;: &quot;yes&quot;
}
}
}</code></pre>
<p>Note that this is the direct equivalent of using this "backend"
command:</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend noop . -o echo=yes -o blue path1 path2</code></pre>
<p>Note that arguments must be preceded by the "-a" flag</p>
<p>See the <a

<h3 id="cache-expire">cache/expire: Purge a remote from cache</h3>
<p>Purge a remote from the cache backend. Supports either a directory or
a file. Params: - remote = path to remote (required) - withData =
true/false to delete cached data (chunks) as well (optional)</p>
<p>Eg</p>

rclone rc cache/expire remote=/ withData=true</code></pre>
<h3 id="cache-fetch">cache/fetch: Fetch file chunks</h3>
<p>Ensure the specified file chunks are cached on disk.</p>
<p>The chunks= parameter specifies the file chunks to check. It takes a
comma separated list of array slice indices. The slice indices are
similar to Python slices: start[:end]</p>
<p>start is the 0 based chunk number from the beginning of the file to
fetch inclusive. end is 0 based chunk number from the beginning of the
file to fetch exclusive. Both values can be negative, in which case they
count from the back of the file. The value "-5:" represents the last 5
chunks of a file.</p>
<p>Some valid examples are: ":5,-5:" -&gt; the first and last five
chunks "0,-2" -&gt; the first and the second last chunk "0:10" -&gt; the
first ten chunks</p>
<p>Any parameter with a key that starts with "file" can be used to
specify files to fetch, e.g.</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc cache/fetch chunks=0 file=hello file2=home/goodbye</code></pre>
<p>File names will automatically be encrypted when the a crypt remote is
used on top of the cache.</p>

<h3 id="debug-set-block-profile-rate">debug/set-block-profile-rate: Set
runtime.SetBlockProfileRate for blocking profiling.</h3>
<p>SetBlockProfileRate controls the fraction of goroutine blocking
events that are reported in the blocking profile. The profiler aims to
sample an average of one blocking event per rate nanoseconds spent
blocked.</p>
<p>To include every blocking event in the profile, pass rate = 1. To
turn off profiling entirely, pass rate &lt;= 0.</p>
<p>After calling this you can use this to see the blocking profile:</p>
<pre><code>go tool pprof http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/block</code></pre>
<p>Parameters:</p>
<ul>
<li>rate - int</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="debug-set-gc-percent">debug/set-gc-percent: Call
runtime/debug.SetGCPercent for setting the garbage collection target
percentage.</h3>
<p>SetGCPercent sets the garbage collection target percentage: a
collection is triggered when the ratio of freshly allocated data to live
data remaining after the previous collection reaches this percentage.
SetGCPercent returns the previous setting. The initial setting is the
value of the GOGC environment variable at startup, or 100 if the
variable is not set.</p>
<p>This setting may be effectively reduced in order to maintain a memory
limit. A negative percentage effectively disables garbage collection,
unless the memory limit is reached.</p>
<p>See https://pkg.go.dev/runtime/debug#SetMemoryLimit for more
details.</p>
<p>Parameters:</p>
<ul>
<li>gc-percent - int</li>
</ul>
<h3
id="debug-set-mutex-profile-fraction">debug/set-mutex-profile-fraction:
Set runtime.SetMutexProfileFraction for mutex profiling.</h3>
<p>SetMutexProfileFraction controls the fraction of mutex contention
events that are reported in the mutex profile. On average 1/rate events
are reported. The previous rate is returned.</p>
<p>To turn off profiling entirely, pass rate 0. To just read the current
rate, pass rate &lt; 0. (For n&gt;1 the details of sampling may
change.)</p>
<p>Once this is set you can look use this to profile the mutex
contention:</p>
<pre><code>go tool pprof http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/mutex</code></pre>
<p>Parameters:</p>
<ul>
<li>rate - int</li>
</ul>
<p>Results:</p>
<ul>
<li>previousRate - int</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="debug-set-soft-memory-limit">debug/set-soft-memory-limit: Call
runtime/debug.SetMemoryLimit for setting a soft memory limit for the
runtime.</h3>
<p>SetMemoryLimit provides the runtime with a soft memory limit.</p>
<p>The runtime undertakes several processes to try to respect this
memory limit, including adjustments to the frequency of garbage
collections and returning memory to the underlying system more
aggressively. This limit will be respected even if GOGC=off (or, if
SetGCPercent(-1) is executed).</p>
<p>The input limit is provided as bytes, and includes all memory mapped,
managed, and not released by the Go runtime. Notably, it does not
account for space used by the Go binary and memory external to Go, such
as memory managed by the underlying system on behalf of the process, or
memory managed by non-Go code inside the same process. Examples of
excluded memory sources include: OS kernel memory held on behalf of the
process, memory allocated by C code, and memory mapped by syscall.Mmap
(because it is not managed by the Go runtime).</p>
<p>A zero limit or a limit that's lower than the amount of memory used
by the Go runtime may cause the garbage collector to run nearly
continuously. However, the application may still make progress.</p>
<p>The memory limit is always respected by the Go runtime, so to
effectively disable this behavior, set the limit very high.
math.MaxInt64 is the canonical value for disabling the limit, but values
much greater than the available memory on the underlying system work
just as well.</p>
<p>See https://go.dev/doc/gc-guide for a detailed guide explaining the
soft memory limit in more detail, as well as a variety of common
use-cases and scenarios.</p>
<p>SetMemoryLimit returns the previously set memory limit. A negative
input does not adjust the limit, and allows for retrieval of the
currently set memory limit.</p>
<p>Parameters:</p>
<ul>
<li>mem-limit - int</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="fscache-clear">fscache/clear: Clear the Fs cache.</h3>

<h3 id="operations-check">operations/check: check the source and
destination are the same</h3>
<p>Checks the files in the source and destination match. It compares
sizes and hashes and logs a report of files that don't match. It doesn't
alter the source or destination.</p>
<p>This takes the following parameters:</p>
<ul>
<li>srcFs - a remote name string e.g. "drive:" for the source, "/" for
local filesystem</li>
<li>dstFs - a remote name string e.g. "drive2:" for the destination, "/"
for local filesystem</li>

remotes and check them against each other on the fly. This can be useful
for remotes that don't support hashes or if you really want to check all
the data.</p>
<p>If you supply the size-only global flag, it will only compare the
sizes not the hashes as well. Use this for a quick check.</p>
<p>If you supply the checkFileHash option with a valid hash name, the
checkFileFs:checkFileRemote must point to a text file in the SUM format.
This treats the checksum file as the source and dstFs as the
destination. Note that srcFs is not used and should not be supplied in
this case.</p>
<p>Returns:</p>
<ul>
<li>success - true if no error, false otherwise</li>
<li>status - textual summary of check, OK or text string</li>

<h3 id="vfs-forget">vfs/forget: Forget files or directories in the
directory cache.</h3>
<p>This forgets the paths in the directory cache causing them to be
re-read from the remote when needed.</p>
<p>If no paths are passed in then it will forget all the paths in the
directory cache.</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/forget</code></pre>
<p>Otherwise pass files or dirs in as file=path or dir=path. Any
parameter key starting with file will forget that file and any starting
with dir will forget that dir, e.g.</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/forget file=hello file2=goodbye dir=home/junk</code></pre>
<p>This command takes an "fs" parameter. If this parameter is not
supplied and if there is only one VFS in use then that VFS will be used.
If there is more than one VFS in use then the "fs" parameter must be
supplied.</p>
<h3 id="vfs-list">vfs/list: List active VFSes.</h3>
<p>This lists the active VFSes.</p>
<p>It returns a list under the key "vfses" where the values are the VFS
names that could be passed to the other VFS commands in the "fs"
parameter.</p>
<h3 id="vfs-poll-interval">vfs/poll-interval: Get the status or update
the value of the poll-interval option.</h3>
<p>Without any parameter given this returns the current status of the
poll-interval setting.</p>
<p>When the interval=duration parameter is set, the poll-interval value
is updated and the polling function is notified. Setting interval=0
disables poll-interval.</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/poll-interval interval=5m</code></pre>
<p>The timeout=duration parameter can be used to specify a time to wait
for the current poll function to apply the new value. If timeout is less
or equal 0, which is the default, wait indefinitely.</p>
<p>The new poll-interval value will only be active when the timeout is
not reached.</p>
<p>If poll-interval is updated or disabled temporarily, some changes
might not get picked up by the polling function, depending on the used
remote.</p>
<p>This command takes an "fs" parameter. If this parameter is not
supplied and if there is only one VFS in use then that VFS will be used.
If there is more than one VFS in use then the "fs" parameter must be
supplied.</p>
<h3 id="vfs-queue">vfs/queue: Queue info for a VFS.</h3>
<p>This returns info about the upload queue for the selected VFS.</p>
<p>This is only useful if <code>--vfs-cache-mode</code> &gt; off. If you
call it when the <code>--vfs-cache-mode</code> is off, it will return an
empty result.</p>
<pre><code>{
&quot;queued&quot;: // an array of files queued for upload
[
{
&quot;name&quot;: &quot;file&quot;, // string: name (full path) of the file,
&quot;id&quot;: 123, // integer: id of this item in the queue,
&quot;size&quot;: 79, // integer: size of the file in bytes
&quot;expiry&quot;: 1.5 // float: time until file is eligible for transfer, lowest goes first
&quot;tries&quot;: 1, // integer: number of times we have tried to upload
&quot;delay&quot;: 5.0, // float: seconds between upload attempts
&quot;uploading&quot;: false, // boolean: true if item is being uploaded
},
],
}</code></pre>
<p>The <code>expiry</code> time is the time until the file is elegible
for being uploaded in floating point seconds. This may go negative. As
rclone only transfers <code>--transfers</code> files at once, only the
lowest <code>--transfers</code> expiry times will have
<code>uploading</code> as <code>true</code>. So there may be files with
negative expiry times for which <code>uploading</code> is
<code>false</code>.</p>
<p>This command takes an "fs" parameter. If this parameter is not
supplied and if there is only one VFS in use then that VFS will be used.
If there is more than one VFS in use then the "fs" parameter must be
supplied.</p>
<h3 id="vfs-queue-set-expiry">vfs/queue-set-expiry: Set the expiry time
for an item queued for upload.</h3>
<p>Use this to adjust the <code>expiry</code> time for an item in the
upload queue. You will need to read the <code>id</code> of the item
using <code>vfs/queue</code> before using this call.</p>
<p>You can then set <code>expiry</code> to a floating point number of
seconds from now when the item is eligible for upload. If you want the
item to be uploaded as soon as possible then set it to a large negative
number (eg -1000000000). If you want the upload of the item to be
delayed for a long time then set it to a large positive number.</p>
<p>Setting the <code>expiry</code> of an item which has already has
started uploading will have no effect - the item will carry on being
uploaded.</p>
<p>This will return an error if called with
<code>--vfs-cache-mode</code> off or if the <code>id</code> passed is
not found.</p>
<p>This takes the following parameters</p>
<ul>
<li><code>fs</code> - select the VFS in use (optional)</li>
<li><code>id</code> - a numeric ID as returned from
<code>vfs/queue</code></li>
<li><code>expiry</code> - a new expiry time as floating point
seconds</li>
</ul>
<p>This returns an empty result on success, or an error.</p>
<p>This command takes an "fs" parameter. If this parameter is not
supplied and if there is only one VFS in use then that VFS will be used.
If there is more than one VFS in use then the "fs" parameter must be
supplied.</p>
<h3 id="vfs-refresh">vfs/refresh: Refresh the directory cache.</h3>
<p>This reads the directories for the specified paths and freshens the
directory cache.</p>
<p>If no paths are passed in then it will refresh the root
directory.</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/refresh</code></pre>
<p>Otherwise pass directories in as dir=path. Any parameter key starting
with dir will refresh that directory, e.g.</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/refresh dir=home/junk dir2=data/misc</code></pre>
<p>If the parameter recursive=true is given the whole directory tree
will get refreshed. This refresh will use --fast-list if enabled.</p>
<p>This command takes an "fs" parameter. If this parameter is not
supplied and if there is only one VFS in use then that VFS will be used.
If there is more than one VFS in use then the "fs" parameter must be
supplied.</p>
<h3 id="vfs-stats">vfs/stats: Stats for a VFS.</h3>
<p>This returns stats for the selected VFS.</p>
<pre><code>{
// Status of the disk cache - only present if --vfs-cache-mode &gt; off
&quot;diskCache&quot;: {
&quot;bytesUsed&quot;: 0,
&quot;erroredFiles&quot;: 0,
&quot;files&quot;: 0,
&quot;hashType&quot;: 1,
&quot;outOfSpace&quot;: false,
&quot;path&quot;: &quot;/home/user/.cache/rclone/vfs/local/mnt/a&quot;,
&quot;pathMeta&quot;: &quot;/home/user/.cache/rclone/vfsMeta/local/mnt/a&quot;,
&quot;uploadsInProgress&quot;: 0,
&quot;uploadsQueued&quot;: 0
},
&quot;fs&quot;: &quot;/mnt/a&quot;,
&quot;inUse&quot;: 1,
// Status of the in memory metadata cache
&quot;metadataCache&quot;: {

&quot;files&quot;: 0
},
// Options as returned by options/get
&quot;opt&quot;: {
&quot;CacheMaxAge&quot;: 3600000000000,
// ...
&quot;WriteWait&quot;: 1000000000
}
}</code></pre>
<p>This command takes an "fs" parameter. If this parameter is not
supplied and if there is only one VFS in use then that VFS will be used.
If there is more than one VFS in use then the "fs" parameter must be
supplied.</p>
<h2 id="api-http">Accessing the remote control via HTTP</h2>
<p>Rclone implements a simple HTTP based protocol.</p>
<p>Each endpoint takes an JSON object and returns a JSON object or an
error. The JSON objects are essentially a map of string names to
values.</p>
<p>All calls must made using POST.</p>
<p>The input objects can be supplied using URL parameters, POST
parameters or by supplying "Content-Type: application/json" and a JSON
blob in the body. There are examples of these below using
<code>curl</code>.</p>
<p>The response will be a JSON blob in the body of the response. This is
formatted to be reasonably human-readable.</p>
<h3 id="error-returns">Error returns</h3>
<p>If an error occurs then there will be an HTTP error status (e.g. 500)
and the body of the response will contain a JSON encoded error object,
e.g.</p>
<pre><code>{
&quot;error&quot;: &quot;Expecting string value for key \&quot;remote\&quot; (was float64)&quot;,
&quot;input&quot;: {
&quot;fs&quot;: &quot;/tmp&quot;,
&quot;remote&quot;: 3
},
&quot;status&quot;: 400
&quot;path&quot;: &quot;operations/rmdir&quot;,
}</code></pre>
<p>The keys in the error response are - error - error string - input -
the input parameters to the call - status - the HTTP status code - path
- the path of the call</p>
<h3 id="cors">CORS</h3>

<p>If you use the <code>--rc</code> flag this will also enable the use
of the go profiling tools on the same port.</p>
<p>To use these, first <a href="https://golang.org/doc/install">install
go</a>.</p>
<h3 id="debugging-memory-use">Debugging memory use</h3>
<p>To profile rclone's memory use you can run:</p>
<pre><code>go tool pprof -web http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/heap</code></pre>
<p>This should open a page in your browser showing what is using what
memory.</p>
<p>You can also use the <code>-text</code> flag to produce a textual
summary</p>

<h3 id="other-profiles-to-look-at">Other profiles to look at</h3>
<p>You can see a summary of profiles available at
http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/</p>
<p>Here is how to use some of them:</p>
<ul>
<li>Memory:
<code>go tool pprof http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/heap</code></li>
<li>Go routines:
<code>curl http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/goroutine?debug=1</code></li>
<li>30-second CPU profile:
<code>go tool pprof http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/profile</code></li>
<li>5-second execution trace:
<code>wget http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/trace?seconds=5</code></li>
<li>Goroutine blocking profile
<ul>
<li>Enable first with:
<code>rclone rc debug/set-block-profile-rate rate=1</code> (<a

<p>¹ Dropbox supports <a

custom hash</a>. This is an SHA256 sum of all the 4 MiB block
SHA256s.</p>
<p>² SFTP supports checksums if the same login has shell access and
<code>md5sum</code> or <code>sha1sum</code> as well as <code>echo</code>
are in the remote's PATH.</p>
<p>³ WebDAV supports hashes when used with Fastmail Files, Owncloud and
Nextcloud only.</p>
<p>⁴ WebDAV supports modtimes when used with Fastmail Files, Owncloud
and Nextcloud only.</p>
<p>⁵ <a

is Microsoft's own hash.</p>
<p>⁶ Mail.ru uses its own modified SHA1 hash</p>
<p>⁷ pCloud only supports SHA1 (not MD5) in its EU region</p>
<p>⁸ Opendrive does not support creation of duplicate files using their
web client interface or other stock clients, but the underlying storage
platform has been determined to allow duplicate files, and it is
possible to create them with <code>rclone</code>. It may be that this is
a mistake or an unsupported feature.</p>
<p>⁹ QingStor does not support SetModTime for objects bigger than 5
GiB.</p>
<p>¹⁰ FTP supports modtimes for the major FTP servers, and also others
if they advertised required protocol extensions. See <a
href="https://rclone.org/ftp/#modification-times">this</a> for more
details.</p>
<p>¹¹ Internet Archive requires option <code>wait_archive</code> to be
set to a non-zero value for full modtime support.</p>
<p>¹² HiDrive supports <a href="https://static.hidrive.com/dev/0001">its
own custom hash</a>. It combines SHA1 sums for each 4 KiB block
hierarchically to a single top-level sum.</p>
<p>¹³ Uloz.to provides server-calculated MD5 hash upon file upload. MD5
and SHA256 hashes are client-calculated and stored as metadata
fields.</p>
<h3 id="hash">Hash</h3>
<p>The cloud storage system supports various hash types of the objects.
The hashes are used when transferring data as an integrity check and can
be specifically used with the <code>--checksum</code> flag in syncs and
in the <code>check</code> command.</p>
<p>To use the verify checksums when transferring between cloud storage
systems they must support a common hash type.</p>
<h3 id="modtime">ModTime</h3>
<p>Almost all cloud storage systems store some sort of timestamp on
objects, but several of them not something that is appropriate to use
for syncing. E.g. some backends will only write a timestamp that
represents the time of the upload. To be relevant for syncing it should
be able to store the modification time of the source object. If this is
not the case, rclone will only check the file size by default, though
can be configured to check the file hash (with the
<code>--checksum</code> flag). Ideally it should also be possible to
change the timestamp of an existing file without having to re-upload
it.</p>

<p>Storage systems with a <code>-</code> in the ModTime column, means
the modification read on objects is not the modification time of the
file when uploaded. It is most likely the time the file was uploaded, or
possibly something else (like the time the picture was taken in Google
Photos).</p>
<p>Storage systems with a <code>R</code> (for read-only) in the ModTime
column, means the it keeps modification times on objects, and updates
them when uploading objects, but it does not support changing only the
modification time (<code>SetModTime</code> operation) without
re-uploading, possibly not even without deleting existing first. Some
operations in rclone, such as <code>copy</code> and <code>sync</code>
commands, will automatically check for <code>SetModTime</code> support
and re-upload if necessary to keep the modification times in sync. Other
commands will not work without <code>SetModTime</code> support, e.g.
<code>touch</code> command on an existing file will fail, and changes to
modification time only on a files in a <code>mount</code> will be
silently ignored.</p>
<p>Storage systems with <code>R/W</code> (for read/write) in the ModTime
column, means they do also support modtime-only operations.</p>
<p>Storage systems with <code>D</code> in the ModTime column means that
the following symbols apply to directories as well as files.</p>
<h3 id="case-insensitive">Case Insensitive</h3>
<p>If a cloud storage systems is case sensitive then it is possible to
have two files which differ only in case, e.g. <code>file.txt</code> and
<code>FILE.txt</code>. If a cloud storage system is case insensitive
then that isn't possible.</p>
<p>This can cause problems when syncing between a case insensitive
system and a case sensitive system. The symptom of this is that no
matter how many times you run the sync it never completes fully.</p>
<p>The local filesystem and SFTP may or may not be case sensitive
depending on OS.</p>
<ul>
<li>Windows - usually case insensitive, though case is preserved</li>
<li>OSX - usually case insensitive, though it is possible to format case
sensitive</li>
<li>Linux - usually case sensitive, but there are case insensitive file
systems (e.g. FAT formatted USB keys)</li>
</ul>
<p>Most of the time this doesn't cause any problems as people tend to
avoid files whose name differs only by case even on case sensitive
systems.</p>
<h3 id="duplicate-files">Duplicate files</h3>
<p>If a cloud storage system allows duplicate files then it can have two
objects with the same name.</p>
<p>This confuses rclone greatly when syncing - use the
<code>rclone dedupe</code> command to rename or remove duplicates.</p>
<h3 id="restricted-filenames">Restricted filenames</h3>
<p>Some cloud storage systems might have restrictions on the characters
that are usable in file or directory names. When <code>rclone</code>
detects such a name during a file upload, it will transparently replace
the restricted characters with similar looking Unicode characters. To
handle the different sets of restricted characters for different
backends, rclone uses something it calls <a
href="#encoding">encoding</a>.</p>
<p>This process is designed to avoid ambiguous file names as much as
possible and allow to move files between many cloud storage systems
transparently.</p>
<p>The name shown by <code>rclone</code> to the user or during log
output will only contain a minimal set of <a
href="#restricted-characters">replaced characters</a> to ensure correct
formatting and not necessarily the actual name used on the cloud
storage.</p>
<p>This transformation is reversed when downloading a file or parsing
<code>rclone</code> arguments. For example, when uploading a file named
<code>my file?.txt</code> to Onedrive, it will be displayed as
<code>my file?.txt</code> on the console, but stored as
<code>my file?.txt</code> to Onedrive (the <code>?</code> gets replaced
by the similar looking <code>?</code> character, the so-called
"fullwidth question mark"). The reverse transformation allows to read a
file <code>unusual/name.txt</code> from Google Drive, by passing the
name <code>unusual/name.txt</code> on the command line (the
<code>/</code> needs to be replaced by the similar looking
<code>/</code> character).</p>
<h4 id="restricted-filenames-caveats">Caveats</h4>
<p>The filename encoding system works well in most cases, at least where
file names are written in English or similar languages. You might not
even notice it: It just works. In some cases it may lead to issues,
though. E.g. when file names are written in Chinese, or Japanese, where
it is always the Unicode fullwidth variants of the punctuation marks
that are used.</p>
<p>On Windows, the characters <code>:</code>, <code>*</code> and
<code>?</code> are examples of restricted characters. If these are used
in filenames on a remote that supports it, Rclone will transparently
convert them to their fullwidth Unicode variants <code>*</code>,
<code>?</code> and <code>:</code> when downloading to Windows, and
back again when uploading. This way files with names that are not
allowed on Windows can still be stored.</p>
<p>However, if you have files on your Windows system originally with
these same Unicode characters in their names, they will be included in
the same conversion process. E.g. if you create a file in your Windows
filesystem with name <code>Test:1.jpg</code>, where <code>:</code> is
the Unicode fullwidth colon symbol, and use rclone to upload it to
Google Drive, which supports regular <code>:</code> (halfwidth question
mark), rclone will replace the fullwidth <code>:</code> with the
halfwidth <code>:</code> and store the file as <code>Test:1.jpg</code>
in Google Drive. Since both Windows and Google Drive allows the name
<code>Test:1.jpg</code>, it would probably be better if rclone just
kept the name as is in this case.</p>
<p>With the opposite situation; if you have a file named
<code>Test:1.jpg</code>, in your Google Drive, e.g. uploaded from a
Linux system where <code>:</code> is valid in file names. Then later use
rclone to copy this file to your Windows computer you will notice that
on your local disk it gets renamed to <code>Test:1.jpg</code>. The
original filename is not legal on Windows, due to the <code>:</code>,
and rclone therefore renames it to make the copy possible. That is all
good. However, this can also lead to an issue: If you already had a
<em>different</em> file named <code>Test:1.jpg</code> on Windows, and
then use rclone to copy either way. Rclone will then treat the file
originally named <code>Test:1.jpg</code> on Google Drive and the file
originally named <code>Test:1.jpg</code> on Windows as the same file,
and replace the contents from one with the other.</p>
<p>Its virtually impossible to handle all cases like these correctly in
all situations, but by customizing the <a href="#encoding">encoding
option</a>, changing the set of characters that rclone should convert,
you should be able to create a configuration that works well for your
specific situation. See also the <a
href="https://rclone.org/overview/#encoding-example-windows">example</a>
below.</p>
<p>(Windows was used as an example of a file system with many restricted
characters, and Google drive a storage system with few.)</p>
<h4 id="restricted-characters">Default restricted characters</h4>
<p>The table below shows the characters that are replaced by
default.</p>
<p>When a replacement character is found in a filename, this character
will be escaped with the <code>‛</code> character to avoid ambiguous
file names. (e.g. a file named <code>␀.txt</code> would shown as
<code>‛␀.txt</code>)</p>
<p>Each cloud storage backend can use a different set of characters,
which will be specified in the documentation for each backend.</p>

<h4 id="invalid-utf8">Invalid UTF-8 bytes</h4>
<p>Some backends only support a sequence of well formed UTF-8 bytes as
file or directory names.</p>
<p>In this case all invalid UTF-8 bytes will be replaced with a quoted
representation of the byte value to allow uploading a file to such a
backend. For example, the invalid byte <code>0xFE</code> will be encoded
as <code>‛FE</code>.</p>
<p>A common source of invalid UTF-8 bytes are local filesystems, that
store names in a different encoding than UTF-8 or UTF-16, like latin1.
See the <a href="https://rclone.org/local/#filenames">local
filenames</a> section for details.</p>
<h4 id="encoding">Encoding option</h4>
<p>Most backends have an encoding option, specified as a flag
<code>--backend-encoding</code> where <code>backend</code> is the name
of the backend, or as a config parameter <code>encoding</code> (you'll
need to select the Advanced config in <code>rclone config</code> to see
it).</p>
<p>This will have default value which encodes and decodes characters in
such a way as to preserve the maximum number of characters (see
above).</p>
<p>However this can be incorrect in some scenarios, for example if you
have a Windows file system with Unicode fullwidth characters
<code>*</code>, <code>?</code> or <code>:</code>, that you want to
remain as those characters on the remote rather than being translated to
regular (halfwidth) <code>*</code>, <code>?</code> and
<code>:</code>.</p>
<p>The <code>--backend-encoding</code> flags allow you to change that.
You can disable the encoding completely with
<code>--backend-encoding Raw</code> or set <code>encoding = Raw</code>
in the config file.</p>
<p>Encoding takes a comma separated list of encodings. You can see the
list of all possible values by passing an invalid value to this flag,
e.g. <code>--local-encoding "help"</code>. The command
<code>rclone help flags encoding</code> will show you the defaults for
the backends.</p>

<p>¹ Encoding from NUL 0x00 to ␀ is always implicit except when using
Raw. It was previously incorrectly documented as disabling encoding, and
to maintain backward compatibility, its behavior has not been
changed.</p>
<h5 id="encoding-example-ftp">Encoding example: FTP</h5>
<p>To take a specific example, the FTP backend's default encoding is</p>
<pre><code>--ftp-encoding &quot;Slash,Del,Ctl,RightSpace,Dot&quot;</code></pre>
<p>However, let's say the FTP server is running on Windows and can't
have any of the invalid Windows characters in file names. You are
backing up Linux servers to this FTP server which do have those
characters in file names. So you would add the Windows set which are</p>
<pre><code>Slash,LtGt,DoubleQuote,Colon,Question,Asterisk,Pipe,BackSlash,Ctl,RightSpace,RightPeriod,InvalidUtf8,Dot</code></pre>
<p>to the existing ones, giving:</p>
<pre><code>Slash,LtGt,DoubleQuote,Colon,Question,Asterisk,Pipe,BackSlash,Ctl,RightSpace,RightPeriod,InvalidUtf8,Dot,Del,RightSpace</code></pre>
<p>This can be specified using the <code>--ftp-encoding</code> flag or
using an <code>encoding</code> parameter in the config file.</p>
<h5 id="encoding-example-windows">Encoding example: Windows</h5>
<p>As a nother example, take a Windows system where there is a file with
name <code>Test:1.jpg</code>, where <code>:</code> is the Unicode
fullwidth colon symbol. When using rclone to copy this to a remote which
supports <code>:</code>, the regular (halfwidth) colon (such as Google
Drive), you will notice that the file gets renamed to
<code>Test:1.jpg</code>.</p>
<p>To avoid this you can change the set of characters rclone should
convert for the local filesystem, using command-line argument
<code>--local-encoding</code>. Rclone's default behavior on Windows
corresponds to</p>
<pre><code>--local-encoding &quot;Slash,LtGt,DoubleQuote,Colon,Question,Asterisk,Pipe,BackSlash,Ctl,RightSpace,RightPeriod,InvalidUtf8,Dot&quot;</code></pre>
<p>If you want to use fullwidth characters <code>:</code>,
<code>*</code> and <code>?</code> in your filenames without rclone
changing them when uploading to a remote, then set the same as the
default value but without <code>Colon,Question,Asterisk</code>:</p>
<pre><code>--local-encoding &quot;Slash,LtGt,DoubleQuote,Pipe,BackSlash,Ctl,RightSpace,RightPeriod,InvalidUtf8,Dot&quot;</code></pre>
<p>Alternatively, you can disable the conversion of any characters with
<code>--local-encoding Raw</code>.</p>
<p>Instead of using command-line argument <code>--local-encoding</code>,
you may also set it as <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#environment-variables">environment
variable</a> <code>RCLONE_LOCAL_ENCODING</code>, or <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#configure">configure</a> a remote of type
<code>local</code> in your config, and set the <code>encoding</code>
option there.</p>
<p>The risk by doing this is that if you have a filename with the
regular (halfwidth) <code>:</code>, <code>*</code> and <code>?</code> in
your cloud storage, and you try to download it to your Windows
filesystem, this will fail. These characters are not valid in filenames
on Windows, and you have told rclone not to work around this by
converting them to valid fullwidth variants.</p>
<h3 id="mime-type">MIME Type</h3>
<p>MIME types (also known as media types) classify types of documents
using a simple text classification, e.g. <code>text/html</code> or
<code>application/pdf</code>.</p>
<p>Some cloud storage systems support reading (<code>R</code>) the MIME
type of objects and some support writing (<code>W</code>) the MIME type
of objects.</p>
<p>The MIME type can be important if you are serving files directly to
HTTP from the storage system.</p>
<p>If you are copying from a remote which supports reading
(<code>R</code>) to a remote which supports writing (<code>W</code>)
then rclone will preserve the MIME types. Otherwise they will be guessed
from the extension, or the remote itself may assign the MIME type.</p>
<h3 id="metadata-1">Metadata</h3>
<p>Backends may or may support reading or writing metadata. They may
support reading and writing system metadata (metadata intrinsic to that
backend) and/or user metadata (general purpose metadata).</p>
<p>The levels of metadata support are</p>

<p>¹ Note Swift implements this in order to delete directory markers but
it doesn't actually have a quicker way of deleting files other than
deleting them individually.</p>
<p>² Storj implements this efficiently only for entire buckets. If
purging a directory inside a bucket, files are deleted individually.</p>
<p>³ StreamUpload is not supported with Nextcloud</p>
<p>⁴ Use the <code>--sftp-copy-is-hardlink</code> flag to enable.</p>
<p>⁵ Use the <code>--onedrive-delta</code> flag to enable.</p>
<h3 id="purge">Purge</h3>
<p>This deletes a directory quicker than just deleting all the files in
the directory.</p>
<h3 id="copy">Copy</h3>
<p>Used when copying an object to and from the same remote. This known
as a server-side copy so you can copy a file without downloading it and
uploading it again. It is used if you use <code>rclone copy</code> or
<code>rclone move</code> if the remote doesn't support <code>Move</code>
directly.</p>
<p>If the server doesn't support <code>Copy</code> directly then for
copy operations the file is downloaded then re-uploaded.</p>
<h3 id="move">Move</h3>
<p>Used when moving/renaming an object on the same remote. This is known
as a server-side move of a file. This is used in
<code>rclone move</code> if the server doesn't support
<code>DirMove</code>.</p>
<p>If the server isn't capable of <code>Move</code> then rclone
simulates it with <code>Copy</code> then delete. If the server doesn't
support <code>Copy</code> then rclone will download the file and
re-upload it.</p>
<h3 id="dirmove">DirMove</h3>
<p>This is used to implement <code>rclone move</code> to move a
directory if possible. If it isn't then it will use <code>Move</code> on
each file (which falls back to <code>Copy</code> then download and
upload - see <code>Move</code> section).</p>
<h3 id="cleanup">CleanUp</h3>
<p>This is used for emptying the trash for a remote by
<code>rclone cleanup</code>.</p>
<p>If the server can't do <code>CleanUp</code> then
<code>rclone cleanup</code> will return an error.</p>
<p>‡‡ Note that while Box implements this it has to delete every file
individually so it will be slower than emptying the trash via the
WebUI</p>
<h3 id="listr">ListR</h3>
<p>The remote supports a recursive list to list all the contents beneath
a directory quickly. This enables the <code>--fast-list</code> flag to
work. See the <a href="https://rclone.org/docs/#fast-list">rclone
docs</a> for more details.</p>
<h3 id="streamupload">StreamUpload</h3>
<p>Some remotes allow files to be uploaded without knowing the file size
in advance. This allows certain operations to work without spooling the
file to local disk first, e.g. <code>rclone rcat</code>.</p>
<h3 id="multithreadupload">MultithreadUpload</h3>
<p>Some remotes allow transfers to the remote to be sent as chunks in
parallel. If this is supported then rclone will use multi-thread copying
to transfer files much faster.</p>
<h3 id="linksharing">LinkSharing</h3>
<p>Sets the necessary permissions on a file or folder and prints a link
that allows others to access them, even if they don't have an account on
the particular cloud provider.</p>
<h3 id="about-1">About</h3>
<p>Rclone <code>about</code> prints quota information for a remote.
Typical output includes bytes used, free, quota and in trash.</p>
<p>If a remote lacks about capability
<code>rclone about remote:</code>returns an error.</p>
<p>Backends without about capability cannot determine free space for an
rclone mount, or use policy <code>mfs</code> (most free space) as a
member of an rclone union remote.</p>
<p>See <a href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_about/">rclone about
command</a></p>
<h3 id="emptydir">EmptyDir</h3>
<p>The remote supports empty directories. See <a
href="https://rclone.org/bugs/#limitations">Limitations</a> for details.
Most Object/Bucket-based remotes do not support this.</p>

<h1 id="docker-volume-plugin">Docker Volume Plugin</h1>
<h2 id="introduction">Introduction</h2>
<p>Docker 1.9 has added support for creating <a
href="https://docs.docker.com/storage/volumes/">named volumes</a> via <a
href="https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/volume_create/">command-line
interface</a> and mounting them in containers as a way to share data
between them. Since Docker 1.10 you can create named volumes with <a
href="https://docs.docker.com/compose/">Docker Compose</a> by
descriptions in <a
href="https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/compose-file-v2/#volume-configuration-reference">docker-compose.yml</a>
files for use by container groups on a single host. As of Docker 1.12
volumes are supported by <a
href="https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/key-concepts/">Docker
Swarm</a> included with Docker Engine and created from descriptions in
<a
href="https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/compose-file-v3/#volume-configuration-reference">swarm
compose v3</a> files for use with <em>swarm stacks</em> across multiple
cluster nodes.</p>
<p><a
href="https://docs.docker.com/engine/extend/plugins_volume/">Docker
Volume Plugins</a> augment the default <code>local</code> volume driver
included in Docker with stateful volumes shared across containers and
hosts. Unlike local volumes, your data will <em>not</em> be deleted when
such volume is removed. Plugins can run managed by the docker daemon, as
a native system service (under systemd, <em>sysv</em> or
<em>upstart</em>) or as a standalone executable. Rclone can run as
docker volume plugin in all these modes. It interacts with the local
docker daemon via <a
href="https://docs.docker.com/engine/extend/plugin_api/">plugin API</a>
and handles mounting of remote file systems into docker containers so it
must run on the same host as the docker daemon or on every Swarm
node.</p>
<h2 id="getting-started">Getting started</h2>
<p>In the first example we will use the <a
href="https://rclone.org/sftp/">SFTP</a> rclone volume with Docker
engine on a standalone Ubuntu machine.</p>
<p>Start from <a
href="https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/">installing Docker</a> on
the host.</p>
<p>The <em>FUSE</em> driver is a prerequisite for rclone mounting and
should be installed on host:</p>
<pre><code>sudo apt-get -y install fuse</code></pre>
<p>Create two directories required by rclone docker plugin:</p>
<pre><code>sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/docker-plugins/rclone/config
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/docker-plugins/rclone/cache</code></pre>
<p>Install the managed rclone docker plugin for your architecture (here
<code>amd64</code>):</p>
<pre><code>docker plugin install rclone/docker-volume-rclone:amd64 args=&quot;-v&quot; --alias rclone --grant-all-permissions
docker plugin list</code></pre>
<p>Create your <a href="https://rclone.org/sftp/#standard-options">SFTP
volume</a>:</p>
<pre><code>docker volume create firstvolume -d rclone -o type=sftp -o sftp-host=_hostname_ -o sftp-user=_username_ -o sftp-pass=_password_ -o allow-other=true</code></pre>
<p>Note that since all options are static, you don't even have to run
<code>rclone config</code> or create the <code>rclone.conf</code> file
(but the <code>config</code> directory should still be present). In the
simplest case you can use <code>localhost</code> as <em>hostname</em>
and your SSH credentials as <em>username</em> and <em>password</em>. You
can also change the remote path to your home directory on the host, for
example <code>-o path=/home/username</code>.</p>
<p>Time to create a test container and mount the volume into it:</p>
<pre><code>docker run --rm -it -v firstvolume:/mnt --workdir /mnt ubuntu:latest bash</code></pre>
<p>If all goes well, you will enter the new container and change right
to the mounted SFTP remote. You can type <code>ls</code> to list the
mounted directory or otherwise play with it. Type <code>exit</code> when
you are done. The container will stop but the volume will stay, ready to
be reused. When it's not needed anymore, remove it:</p>
<pre><code>docker volume list
docker volume remove firstvolume</code></pre>
<p>Now let us try <strong>something more elaborate</strong>: <a
href="https://rclone.org/drive/">Google Drive</a> volume on multi-node
Docker Swarm.</p>
<p>You should start from installing Docker and FUSE, creating plugin
directories and installing rclone plugin on <em>every</em> swarm node.
Then <a href="https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/swarm-mode/">setup
the Swarm</a>.</p>
<p>Google Drive volumes need an access token which can be setup via web
browser and will be periodically renewed by rclone. The managed plugin
cannot run a browser so we will use a technique similar to the <a
href="https://rclone.org/remote_setup/">rclone setup on a headless
box</a>.</p>
<p>Run <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_config_create/">rclone
config</a> on <em>another</em> machine equipped with <em>web
browser</em> and graphical user interface. Create the <a
href="https://rclone.org/drive/#standard-options">Google Drive
remote</a>. When done, transfer the resulting <code>rclone.conf</code>
to the Swarm cluster and save as
<code>/var/lib/docker-plugins/rclone/config/rclone.conf</code> on
<em>every</em> node. By default this location is accessible only to the
root user so you will need appropriate privileges. The resulting config
will look like this:</p>
<pre><code>[gdrive]
type = drive
scope = drive
drive_id = 1234567...
root_folder_id = 0Abcd...
token = {&quot;access_token&quot;:...}</code></pre>
<p>Now create the file named <code>example.yml</code> with a swarm stack
description like this:</p>
<pre><code>version: &#39;3&#39;
services:
heimdall:
image: linuxserver/heimdall:latest
ports: [8080:80]
volumes: [configdata:/config]
volumes:
configdata:
driver: rclone
driver_opts:
remote: &#39;gdrive:heimdall&#39;
allow_other: &#39;true&#39;
vfs_cache_mode: full
poll_interval: 0</code></pre>
<p>and run the stack:</p>
<pre><code>docker stack deploy example -c ./example.yml</code></pre>
<p>After a few seconds docker will spread the parsed stack description
over cluster, create the <code>example_heimdall</code> service on port
<em>8080</em>, run service containers on one or more cluster nodes and
request the <code>example_configdata</code> volume from rclone plugins
on the node hosts. You can use the following commands to confirm
results:</p>
<pre><code>docker service ls
docker service ps example_heimdall
docker volume ls</code></pre>
<p>Point your browser to <code>http://cluster.host.address:8080</code>
and play with the service. Stop it with
<code>docker stack remove example</code> when you are done. Note that
the <code>example_configdata</code> volume(s) created on demand at the
cluster nodes will not be automatically removed together with the stack
but stay for future reuse. You can remove them manually by invoking the
<code>docker volume remove example_configdata</code> command on every
node.</p>
<h2 id="creating-volumes-via-cli">Creating Volumes via CLI</h2>
<p>Volumes can be created with <a
href="https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/volume_create/">docker
volume create</a>. Here are a few examples:</p>
<pre><code>docker volume create vol1 -d rclone -o remote=storj: -o vfs-cache-mode=full
docker volume create vol2 -d rclone -o remote=:storj,access_grant=xxx:heimdall
docker volume create vol3 -d rclone -o type=storj -o path=heimdall -o storj-access-grant=xxx -o poll-interval=0</code></pre>
<p>Note the <code>-d rclone</code> flag that tells docker to request
volume from the rclone driver. This works even if you installed managed
driver by its full name <code>rclone/docker-volume-rclone</code> because
you provided the <code>--alias rclone</code> option.</p>
<p>Volumes can be inspected as follows:</p>
<pre><code>docker volume list
docker volume inspect vol1</code></pre>
<h2 id="volume-configuration">Volume Configuration</h2>
<p>Rclone flags and volume options are set via the <code>-o</code> flag
to the <code>docker volume create</code> command. They include
backend-specific parameters as well as mount and <em>VFS</em> options.
Also there are a few special <code>-o</code> options:
<code>remote</code>, <code>fs</code>, <code>type</code>,
<code>path</code>, <code>mount-type</code> and <code>persist</code>.</p>
<p><code>remote</code> determines an existing remote name from the
config file, with trailing colon and optionally with a remote path. See
the full syntax in the <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#syntax-of-remote-paths">rclone
documentation</a>. This option can be aliased as <code>fs</code> to
prevent confusion with the <em>remote</em> parameter of such backends as
<em>crypt</em> or <em>alias</em>.</p>
<p>The <code>remote=:backend:dir/subdir</code> syntax can be used to
create <a href="https://rclone.org/docs/#backend-path-to-dir">on-the-fly
(config-less) remotes</a>, while the <code>type</code> and
<code>path</code> options provide a simpler alternative for this. Using
two split options</p>
<pre><code>-o type=backend -o path=dir/subdir</code></pre>
<p>is equivalent to the combined syntax</p>
<pre><code>-o remote=:backend:dir/subdir</code></pre>
<p>but is arguably easier to parameterize in scripts. The
<code>path</code> part is optional.</p>
<p><a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_serve_docker/#options">Mount
and VFS options</a> as well as <a
href="https://rclone.org/flags/#backend-flags">backend parameters</a>
are named like their twin command-line flags without the <code>--</code>
CLI prefix. Optionally you can use underscores instead of dashes in
option names. For example, <code>--vfs-cache-mode full</code> becomes
<code>-o vfs-cache-mode=full</code> or
<code>-o vfs_cache_mode=full</code>. Boolean CLI flags without value
will gain the <code>true</code> value, e.g. <code>--allow-other</code>
becomes <code>-o allow-other=true</code> or
<code>-o allow_other=true</code>.</p>
<p>Please note that you can provide parameters only for the backend
immediately referenced by the backend type of mounted
<code>remote</code>. If this is a wrapping backend like <em>alias,
chunker or crypt</em>, you cannot provide options for the referred to
remote or backend. This limitation is imposed by the rclone connection
string parser. The only workaround is to feed plugin with
<code>rclone.conf</code> or configure plugin arguments (see below).</p>
<h2 id="special-volume-options">Special Volume Options</h2>
<p><code>mount-type</code> determines the mount method and in general
can be one of: <code>mount</code>, <code>cmount</code>, or
<code>mount2</code>. This can be aliased as <code>mount_type</code>. It
should be noted that the managed rclone docker plugin currently does not
support the <code>cmount</code> method and <code>mount2</code> is rarely
needed. This option defaults to the first found method, which is usually
<code>mount</code> so you generally won't need it.</p>
<p><code>persist</code> is a reserved boolean (true/false) option. In
future it will allow to persist on-the-fly remotes in the plugin
<code>rclone.conf</code> file.</p>
<h2 id="connection-strings-1">Connection Strings</h2>
<p>The <code>remote</code> value can be extended with <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#connection-strings">connection
strings</a> as an alternative way to supply backend parameters. This is
equivalent to the <code>-o</code> backend options with one <em>syntactic
difference</em>. Inside connection string the backend prefix must be
dropped from parameter names but in the <code>-o param=value</code>
array it must be present. For instance, compare the following option
array</p>
<pre><code>-o remote=:sftp:/home -o sftp-host=localhost</code></pre>
<p>with equivalent connection string:</p>
<pre><code>-o remote=:sftp,host=localhost:/home</code></pre>
<p>This difference exists because flag options <code>-o key=val</code>
include not only backend parameters but also mount/VFS flags and
possibly other settings. Also it allows to discriminate the
<code>remote</code> option from the <code>crypt-remote</code> (or
similarly named backend parameters) and arguably simplifies scripting
due to clearer value substitution.</p>
<h2 id="using-with-swarm-or-compose">Using with Swarm or Compose</h2>
<p>Both <em>Docker Swarm</em> and <em>Docker Compose</em> use <a
href="http://yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html">YAML</a>-formatted text files
to describe groups (stacks) of containers, their properties, networks
and volumes. <em>Compose</em> uses the <a
href="https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/compose-file-v2/#volume-configuration-reference">compose
v2</a> format, <em>Swarm</em> uses the <a
href="https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/compose-file-v3/#volume-configuration-reference">compose
v3</a> format. They are mostly similar, differences are explained in the
<a
href="https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/compose-versioning/#upgrading">docker
documentation</a>.</p>
<p>Volumes are described by the children of the top-level
<code>volumes:</code> node. Each of them should be named after its
volume and have at least two elements, the self-explanatory
<code>driver: rclone</code> value and the <code>driver_opts:</code>
structure playing the same role as <code>-o key=val</code> CLI
flags:</p>
<pre><code>volumes:
volume_name_1:
driver: rclone
driver_opts:
remote: &#39;gdrive:&#39;
allow_other: &#39;true&#39;
vfs_cache_mode: full
token: &#39;{&quot;type&quot;: &quot;borrower&quot;, &quot;expires&quot;: &quot;2021-12-31&quot;}&#39;
poll_interval: 0</code></pre>
<p>Notice a few important details: - YAML prefers <code>_</code> in
option names instead of <code>-</code>. - YAML treats single and double
quotes interchangeably. Simple strings and integers can be left
unquoted. - Boolean values must be quoted like <code>'true'</code> or
<code>"false"</code> because these two words are reserved by YAML. - The
filesystem string is keyed with <code>remote</code> (or with
<code>fs</code>). Normally you can omit quotes here, but if the string
ends with colon, you <strong>must</strong> quote it like
<code>remote: "storage_box:"</code>. - YAML is picky about surrounding
braces in values as this is in fact another <a
href="http://yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html#id2790832">syntax for key/value
mappings</a>. For example, JSON access tokens usually contain double
quotes and surrounding braces, so you must put them in single
quotes.</p>
<h2 id="installing-as-managed-plugin">Installing as Managed Plugin</h2>
<p>Docker daemon can install plugins from an image registry and run them
managed. We maintain the <a
href="https://hub.docker.com/p/rclone/docker-volume-rclone/">docker-volume-rclone</a>
plugin image on <a href="https://hub.docker.com">Docker Hub</a>.</p>
<p>Rclone volume plugin requires <strong>Docker Engine &gt;=
19.03.15</strong></p>
<p>The plugin requires presence of two directories on the host before it
can be installed. Note that plugin will <strong>not</strong> create them
automatically. By default they must exist on host at the following
locations (though you can tweak the paths): -
<code>/var/lib/docker-plugins/rclone/config</code> is reserved for the
<code>rclone.conf</code> config file and <strong>must</strong> exist
even if it's empty and the config file is not present. -
<code>/var/lib/docker-plugins/rclone/cache</code> holds the plugin state
file as well as optional VFS caches.</p>
<p>You can <a
href="https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/plugin_install/">install
managed plugin</a> with default settings as follows:</p>
<pre><code>docker plugin install rclone/docker-volume-rclone:amd64 --grant-all-permissions --alias rclone</code></pre>
<p>The <code>:amd64</code> part of the image specification after colon
is called a <em>tag</em>. Usually you will want to install the latest
plugin for your architecture. In this case the tag will just name it,
like <code>amd64</code> above. The following plugin architectures are
currently available: - <code>amd64</code> - <code>arm64</code> -
<code>arm-v7</code></p>
<p>Sometimes you might want a concrete plugin version, not the latest
one. Then you should use image tag in the form
<code>:ARCHITECTURE-VERSION</code>. For example, to install plugin
version <code>v1.56.2</code> on architecture <code>arm64</code> you will
use tag <code>arm64-1.56.2</code> (note the removed <code>v</code>) so
the full image specification becomes
<code>rclone/docker-volume-rclone:arm64-1.56.2</code>.</p>
<p>We also provide the <code>latest</code> plugin tag, but since docker
does not support multi-architecture plugins as of the time of this
writing, this tag is currently an <strong>alias for
<code>amd64</code></strong>. By convention the <code>latest</code> tag
is the default one and can be omitted, thus both
<code>rclone/docker-volume-rclone:latest</code> and just
<code>rclone/docker-volume-rclone</code> will refer to the latest plugin
release for the <code>amd64</code> platform.</p>
<p>Also the <code>amd64</code> part can be omitted from the versioned
rclone plugin tags. For example, rclone image reference
<code>rclone/docker-volume-rclone:amd64-1.56.2</code> can be abbreviated
as <code>rclone/docker-volume-rclone:1.56.2</code> for convenience.
However, for non-intel architectures you still have to use the full tag
as <code>amd64</code> or <code>latest</code> will fail to start.</p>
<p>Managed plugin is in fact a special container running in a namespace
separate from normal docker containers. Inside it runs the
<code>rclone serve docker</code> command. The config and cache
directories are bind-mounted into the container at start. The docker
daemon connects to a unix socket created by the command inside the
container. The command creates on-demand remote mounts right inside,
then docker machinery propagates them through kernel mount namespaces
and bind-mounts into requesting user containers.</p>
<p>You can tweak a few plugin settings after installation when it's
disabled (not in use), for instance:</p>
<pre><code>docker plugin disable rclone
docker plugin set rclone RCLONE_VERBOSE=2 config=/etc/rclone args=&quot;--vfs-cache-mode=writes --allow-other&quot;
docker plugin enable rclone
docker plugin inspect rclone</code></pre>
<p>Note that if docker refuses to disable the plugin, you should find
and remove all active volumes connected with it as well as containers
and swarm services that use them. This is rather tedious so please
carefully plan in advance.</p>
<p>You can tweak the following settings: <code>args</code>,
<code>config</code>, <code>cache</code>, <code>HTTP_PROXY</code>,
<code>HTTPS_PROXY</code>, <code>NO_PROXY</code> and
<code>RCLONE_VERBOSE</code>. It's <em>your</em> task to keep plugin
settings in sync across swarm cluster nodes.</p>
<p><code>args</code> sets command-line arguments for the
<code>rclone serve docker</code> command (<em>none</em> by default).
Arguments should be separated by space so you will normally want to put
them in quotes on the <a
href="https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/plugin_set/">docker
plugin set</a> command line. Both <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_serve_docker/#options">serve
docker flags</a> and <a href="https://rclone.org/flags/">generic rclone
flags</a> are supported, including backend parameters that will be used
as defaults for volume creation. Note that plugin will fail (due to <a
href="https://github.com/moby/moby/blob/v20.10.7/plugin/v2/plugin.go#L195">this
docker bug</a>) if the <code>args</code> value is empty. Use e.g.
<code>args="-v"</code> as a workaround.</p>
<p><code>config=/host/dir</code> sets alternative host location for the
config directory. Plugin will look for <code>rclone.conf</code> here.
It's not an error if the config file is not present but the directory
must exist. Please note that plugin can periodically rewrite the config
file, for example when it renews storage access tokens. Keep this in
mind and try to avoid races between the plugin and other instances of
rclone on the host that might try to change the config simultaneously
resulting in corrupted <code>rclone.conf</code>. You can also put stuff
like private key files for SFTP remotes in this directory. Just note
that it's bind-mounted inside the plugin container at the predefined
path <code>/data/config</code>. For example, if your key file is named
<code>sftp-box1.key</code> on the host, the corresponding volume config
option should read
<code>-o sftp-key-file=/data/config/sftp-box1.key</code>.</p>
<p><code>cache=/host/dir</code> sets alternative host location for the
<em>cache</em> directory. The plugin will keep VFS caches here. Also it
will create and maintain the <code>docker-plugin.state</code> file in
this directory. When the plugin is restarted or reinstalled, it will
look in this file to recreate any volumes that existed previously.
However, they will not be re-mounted into consuming containers after
restart. Usually this is not a problem as the docker daemon normally
will restart affected user containers after failures, daemon restarts or
host reboots.</p>
<p><code>RCLONE_VERBOSE</code> sets plugin verbosity from <code>0</code>
(errors only, by default) to <code>2</code> (debugging). Verbosity can
be also tweaked via <code>args="-v [-v] ..."</code>. Since arguments are
more generic, you will rarely need this setting. The plugin output by
default feeds the docker daemon log on local host. Log entries are
reflected as <em>errors</em> in the docker log but retain their actual
level assigned by rclone in the encapsulated message string.</p>
<p><code>HTTP_PROXY</code>, <code>HTTPS_PROXY</code>,
<code>NO_PROXY</code> customize the plugin proxy settings.</p>
<p>You can set custom plugin options right when you install it, <em>in
one go</em>:</p>
<pre><code>docker plugin remove rclone
docker plugin install rclone/docker-volume-rclone:amd64 \
--alias rclone --grant-all-permissions \
args=&quot;-v --allow-other&quot; config=/etc/rclone
docker plugin inspect rclone</code></pre>
<h2 id="healthchecks">Healthchecks</h2>
<p>The docker plugin volume protocol doesn't provide a way for plugins
to inform the docker daemon that a volume is (un-)available. As a
workaround you can setup a healthcheck to verify that the mount is
responding, for example:</p>
<pre><code>services:
my_service:
image: my_image
healthcheck:
test: ls /path/to/rclone/mount || exit 1
interval: 1m
timeout: 15s
retries: 3
start_period: 15s</code></pre>
<h2 id="running-plugin-under-systemd">Running Plugin under Systemd</h2>
<p>In most cases you should prefer managed mode. Moreover, MacOS and
Windows do not support native Docker plugins. Please use managed mode on
these systems. Proceed further only if you are on Linux.</p>
<p>First, <a href="https://rclone.org/install/">install rclone</a>. You
can just run it (type <code>rclone serve docker</code> and hit enter)
for the test.</p>
<p>Install <em>FUSE</em>:</p>
<pre><code>sudo apt-get -y install fuse</code></pre>
<p>Download two systemd configuration files: <a
href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rclone/rclone/master/contrib/docker-plugin/systemd/docker-volume-rclone.service">docker-volume-rclone.service</a>
and <a
href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rclone/rclone/master/contrib/docker-plugin/systemd/docker-volume-rclone.socket">docker-volume-rclone.socket</a>.</p>
<p>Put them to the <code>/etc/systemd/system/</code> directory:</p>
<pre><code>cp docker-volume-plugin.service /etc/systemd/system/
cp docker-volume-plugin.socket /etc/systemd/system/</code></pre>
<p>Please note that all commands in this section must be run as
<em>root</em> but we omit <code>sudo</code> prefix for brevity. Now
create directories required by the service:</p>
<pre><code>mkdir -p /var/lib/docker-volumes/rclone
mkdir -p /var/lib/docker-plugins/rclone/config
mkdir -p /var/lib/docker-plugins/rclone/cache</code></pre>
<p>Run the docker plugin service in the socket activated mode:</p>
<pre><code>systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl start docker-volume-rclone.service
systemctl enable docker-volume-rclone.socket
systemctl start docker-volume-rclone.socket
systemctl restart docker</code></pre>
<p>Or run the service directly: - run
<code>systemctl daemon-reload</code> to let systemd pick up new config -
run <code>systemctl enable docker-volume-rclone.service</code> to make
the new service start automatically when you power on your machine. -
run <code>systemctl start docker-volume-rclone.service</code> to start
the service now. - run <code>systemctl restart docker</code> to restart
docker daemon and let it detect the new plugin socket. Note that this
step is not needed in managed mode where docker knows about plugin state
changes.</p>
<p>The two methods are equivalent from the user perspective, but I
personally prefer socket activation.</p>
<h2 id="troubleshooting">Troubleshooting</h2>
<p>You can <a
href="https://docs.docker.com/engine/extend/#debugging-plugins">see
managed plugin settings</a> with</p>
<pre><code>docker plugin list
docker plugin inspect rclone</code></pre>
<p>Note that docker (including latest 20.10.7) will not show actual
values of <code>args</code>, just the defaults.</p>
<p>Use <code>journalctl --unit docker</code> to see managed plugin
output as part of the docker daemon log. Note that docker reflects
plugin lines as <em>errors</em> but their actual level can be seen from
encapsulated message string.</p>
<p>You will usually install the latest version of managed plugin for
your platform. Use the following commands to print the actual installed
version:</p>
<pre><code>PLUGID=$(docker plugin list --no-trunc | awk &#39;/rclone/{print$1}&#39;)
sudo runc --root /run/docker/runtime-runc/plugins.moby exec $PLUGID rclone version</code></pre>
<p>You can even use <code>runc</code> to run shell inside the plugin
container:</p>
<pre><code>sudo runc --root /run/docker/runtime-runc/plugins.moby exec --tty $PLUGID bash</code></pre>
<p>Also you can use curl to check the plugin socket connectivity:</p>
<pre><code>docker plugin list --no-trunc
PLUGID=123abc...
sudo curl -H Content-Type:application/json -XPOST -d {} --unix-socket /run/docker/plugins/$PLUGID/rclone.sock http://localhost/Plugin.Activate</code></pre>
<p>though this is rarely needed.</p>
<h2 id="caveats">Caveats</h2>
<p>Finally I'd like to mention a <em>caveat with updating volume
settings</em>. Docker CLI does not have a dedicated command like
<code>docker volume update</code>. It may be tempting to invoke
<code>docker volume create</code> with updated options on existing
volume, but there is a gotcha. The command will do nothing, it won't
even return an error. I hope that docker maintainers will fix this some
day. In the meantime be aware that you must remove your volume before
recreating it with new settings:</p>
<pre><code>docker volume remove my_vol
docker volume create my_vol -d rclone -o opt1=new_val1 ...</code></pre>
<p>and verify that settings did update:</p>
<pre><code>docker volume list
docker volume inspect my_vol</code></pre>
<p>If docker refuses to remove the volume, you should find containers or
swarm services that use it and stop them first.</p>
<h2 id="bisync">Bisync</h2>
<p><code>bisync</code> is <strong>in beta</strong> and is considered an
<strong>advanced command</strong>, so use with care. Make sure you have
read and understood the entire <a
href="https://rclone.org/bisync">manual</a> (especially the <a
href="#limitations">Limitations</a> section) before using, or data loss
can result. Questions can be asked in the <a
href="https://forum.rclone.org/">Rclone Forum</a>.</p>
<h2 id="getting-started">Getting started</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://rclone.org/install/">Install rclone</a> and setup
your remotes.</li>
<li>Bisync will create its working directory at
<code>~/.cache/rclone/bisync</code> on Linux,
<code>/Users/yourusername/Library/Caches/rclone/bisync</code> on Mac, or
<code>C:\Users\MyLogin\AppData\Local\rclone\bisync</code> on Windows.
Make sure that this location is writable.</li>
<li>Run bisync with the <code>--resync</code> flag, specifying the paths
to the local and remote sync directory roots.</li>
<li>For successive sync runs, leave off the <code>--resync</code> flag.
(<strong>Important!</strong>)</li>
<li>Consider using a <a href="#filtering">filters file</a> for excluding
unnecessary files and directories from the sync.</li>
<li>Consider setting up the <a href="#check-access">--check-access</a>
feature for safety.</li>
<li>On Linux or Mac, consider setting up a <a href="#cron">crontab
entry</a>. bisync can safely run in concurrent cron jobs thanks to lock
files it maintains.</li>
</ul>
<p>For example, your first command might look like this:</p>
<pre><code>rclone bisync remote1:path1 remote2:path2 --create-empty-src-dirs --compare size,modtime,checksum --slow-hash-sync-only --resilient -MvP --drive-skip-gdocs --fix-case --resync --dry-run</code></pre>
<p>If all looks good, run it again without <code>--dry-run</code>. After
that, remove <code>--resync</code> as well.</p>
<p>Here is a typical run log (with timestamps removed for clarity):</p>

<pre><code>$ rclone bisync --help
Usage:
rclone bisync remote1:path1 remote2:path2 [flags]
Positional arguments:
Path1, Path2 Local path, or remote storage with &#39;:&#39; plus optional path.
Type &#39;rclone listremotes&#39; for list of configured remotes.
Optional Flags:
--backup-dir1 string --backup-dir for Path1. Must be a non-overlapping path on the same remote.
--backup-dir2 string --backup-dir for Path2. Must be a non-overlapping path on the same remote.
--check-access Ensure expected RCLONE_TEST files are found on both Path1 and Path2 filesystems, else abort.
--check-filename string Filename for --check-access (default: RCLONE_TEST)
--check-sync string Controls comparison of final listings: true|false|only (default: true) (default &quot;true&quot;)
--compare string Comma-separated list of bisync-specific compare options ex. &#39;size,modtime,checksum&#39; (default: &#39;size,modtime&#39;)
--conflict-loser ConflictLoserAction Action to take on the loser of a sync conflict (when there is a winner) or on both files (when there is no winner): , num, pathname, delete (default: num)
--conflict-resolve string Automatically resolve conflicts by preferring the version that is: none, path1, path2, newer, older, larger, smaller (default: none) (default &quot;none&quot;)
--conflict-suffix string Suffix to use when renaming a --conflict-loser. Can be either one string or two comma-separated strings to assign different suffixes to Path1/Path2. (default: &#39;conflict&#39;)
--create-empty-src-dirs Sync creation and deletion of empty directories. (Not compatible with --remove-empty-dirs)
--download-hash Compute hash by downloading when otherwise unavailable. (warning: may be slow and use lots of data!)
--filters-file string Read filtering patterns from a file
--force Bypass --max-delete safety check and run the sync. Consider using with --verbose
-h, --help help for bisync
--ignore-listing-checksum Do not use checksums for listings (add --ignore-checksum to additionally skip post-copy checksum checks)
--max-lock Duration Consider lock files older than this to be expired (default: 0 (never expire)) (minimum: 2m) (default 0s)
--no-cleanup Retain working files (useful for troubleshooting and testing).
--no-slow-hash Ignore listing checksums only on backends where they are slow
--recover Automatically recover from interruptions without requiring --resync.
--remove-empty-dirs Remove ALL empty directories at the final cleanup step.
--resilient Allow future runs to retry after certain less-serious errors, instead of requiring --resync. Use at your own risk!
-1, --resync Performs the resync run. Equivalent to --resync-mode path1. Consider using --verbose or --dry-run first.
--resync-mode string During resync, prefer the version that is: path1, path2, newer, older, larger, smaller (default: path1 if --resync, otherwise none for no resync.) (default &quot;none&quot;)
--retries int Retry operations this many times if they fail (requires --resilient). (default 3)
--retries-sleep Duration Interval between retrying operations if they fail, e.g. 500ms, 60s, 5m (0 to disable) (default 0s)
--slow-hash-sync-only Ignore slow checksums for listings and deltas, but still consider them during sync calls.
--workdir string Use custom working dir - useful for testing. (default: {WORKDIR})
--max-delete PERCENT Safety check on maximum percentage of deleted files allowed. If exceeded, the bisync run will abort. (default: 50%)
-n, --dry-run Go through the motions - No files are copied/deleted.
-v, --verbose Increases logging verbosity. May be specified more than once for more details.</code></pre>
<p>Arbitrary rclone flags may be specified on the <a

line</a>, for example
<code>rclone bisync ./testdir/path1/ gdrive:testdir/path2/ --drive-skip-gdocs -v -v --timeout 10s</code>
Note that interactions of various rclone flags with bisync process flow
has not been fully tested yet.</p>
<h3 id="paths">Paths</h3>
<p>Path1 and Path2 arguments may be references to any mix of local
directory paths (absolute or relative), UNC paths
(<code>//server/share/path</code>), Windows drive paths (with a drive
letter and <code>:</code>) or configured <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#syntax-of-remote-paths">remotes</a> with
optional subdirectory paths. Cloud references are distinguished by
having a <code>:</code> in the argument (see <a href="#windows">Windows
support</a> below).</p>
<p>Path1 and Path2 are treated equally, in that neither has priority for
file changes (except during <a
href="#resync"><code>--resync</code></a>), and access efficiency does
not change whether a remote is on Path1 or Path2.</p>
<p>The listings in bisync working directory (default:
<code>~/.cache/rclone/bisync</code>) are named based on the Path1 and
Path2 arguments so that separate syncs to individual directories within
the tree may be set up, e.g.:
<code>path_to_local_tree..dropbox_subdir.lst</code>.</p>
<p>Any empty directories after the sync on both the Path1 and Path2
filesystems are not deleted by default, unless
<code>--create-empty-src-dirs</code> is specified. If the
<code>--remove-empty-dirs</code> flag is specified, then both paths will
have ALL empty directories purged as the last step in the process.</p>
<h2 id="command-line-flags">Command-line flags</h2>
<h3 id="resync">--resync</h3>
<p>This will effectively make both Path1 and Path2 filesystems contain a
matching superset of all files. By default, Path2 files that do not
exist in Path1 will be copied to Path1, and the process will then copy
the Path1 tree to Path2.</p>
<p>The <code>--resync</code> sequence is roughly equivalent to the
following (but see <a href="#resync-mode"><code>--resync-mode</code></a>
for other options):</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy Path2 Path1 --ignore-existing [--create-empty-src-dirs]
rclone copy Path1 Path2 [--create-empty-src-dirs]</code></pre>
<p>The base directories on both Path1 and Path2 filesystems must exist
or bisync will fail. This is required for safety - that bisync can
verify that both paths are valid.</p>
<p>When using <code>--resync</code>, a newer version of a file on the
Path2 filesystem will (by default) be overwritten by the Path1
filesystem version. (Note that this is <a
href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/5681#issuecomment-938761815">NOT
entirely symmetrical</a>, and more symmetrical options can be specified
with the <a href="#resync-mode"><code>--resync-mode</code></a> flag.)
Carefully evaluate deltas using <a
href="https://rclone.org/flags/#non-backend-flags">--dry-run</a>.</p>
<p>For a resync run, one of the paths may be empty (no files in the path
tree). The resync run should result in files on both paths, else a
normal non-resync run will fail.</p>
<p>For a non-resync run, either path being empty (no files in the tree)
fails with
<code>Empty current PathN listing. Cannot sync to an empty directory: X.pathN.lst</code>
This is a safety check that an unexpected empty path does not result in
deleting <strong>everything</strong> in the other path.</p>
<p>Note that <code>--resync</code> implies
<code>--resync-mode path1</code> unless a different <a
href="#resync-mode"><code>--resync-mode</code></a> is explicitly
specified. It is not necessary to use both the <code>--resync</code> and
<code>--resync-mode</code> flags -- either one is sufficient without the
other.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> <code>--resync</code> (including
<code>--resync-mode</code>) should only be used under three specific
(rare) circumstances: 1. It is your <em>first</em> bisync run (between
these two paths) 2. You've just made changes to your bisync settings
(such as editing the contents of your <code>--filters-file</code>) 3.
There was an error on the prior run, and as a result, bisync now
requires <code>--resync</code> to recover</p>
<p>The rest of the time, you should <em>omit</em> <code>--resync</code>.
The reason is because <code>--resync</code> will only <em>copy</em> (not
<em>sync</em>) each side to the other. Therefore, if you included
<code>--resync</code> for every bisync run, it would never be possible
to delete a file -- the deleted file would always keep reappearing at
the end of every run (because it's being copied from the other side
where it still exists). Similarly, renaming a file would always result
in a duplicate copy (both old and new name) on both sides.</p>
<p>If you find that frequent interruptions from #3 are an issue, rather
than automatically running <code>--resync</code>, the recommended
alternative is to use the <a
href="#resilient"><code>--resilient</code></a>, <a
href="#recover"><code>--recover</code></a>, and <a
href="#conflict-resolve"><code>--conflict-resolve</code></a> flags,
(along with <a href="#graceful-shutdown">Graceful Shutdown</a> mode,
when needed) for a very robust "set-it-and-forget-it" bisync setup that
can automatically bounce back from almost any interruption it might
encounter. Consider adding something like the following:</p>
<pre><code>--resilient --recover --max-lock 2m --conflict-resolve newer</code></pre>
<h3 id="resync-mode">--resync-mode CHOICE</h3>
<p>In the event that a file differs on both sides during a
<code>--resync</code>, <code>--resync-mode</code> controls which version
will overwrite the other. The supported options are similar to <a
href="#conflict-resolve"><code>--conflict-resolve</code></a>. For all of
the following options, the version that is kept is referred to as the
"winner", and the version that is overwritten (deleted) is referred to
as the "loser". The options are named after the "winner":</p>
<ul>
<li><code>path1</code> - (the default) - the version from Path1 is
unconditionally considered the winner (regardless of
<code>modtime</code> and <code>size</code>, if any). This can be useful
if one side is more trusted or up-to-date than the other, at the time of
the <code>--resync</code>.</li>
<li><code>path2</code> - same as <code>path1</code>, except the path2
version is considered the winner.</li>
<li><code>newer</code> - the newer file (by <code>modtime</code>) is
considered the winner, regardless of which side it came from. This may
result in having a mix of some winners from Path1, and some winners from
Path2. (The implementation is analogous to running
<code>rclone copy --update</code> in both directions.)</li>
<li><code>older</code> - same as <code>newer</code>, except the older
file is considered the winner, and the newer file is considered the
loser.</li>
<li><code>larger</code> - the larger file (by <code>size</code>) is
considered the winner (regardless of <code>modtime</code>, if any). This
can be a useful option for remotes without <code>modtime</code> support,
or with the kinds of files (such as logs) that tend to grow but not
shrink, over time.</li>
<li><code>smaller</code> - the smaller file (by <code>size</code>) is
considered the winner (regardless of <code>modtime</code>, if any).</li>
</ul>
<p>For all of the above options, note the following: - If either of the
underlying remotes lacks support for the chosen method, it will be
ignored and will fall back to the default of <code>path1</code>. (For
example, if <code>--resync-mode newer</code> is set, but one of the
paths uses a remote that doesn't support <code>modtime</code>.) - If a
winner can't be determined because the chosen method's attribute is
missing or equal, it will be ignored, and bisync will instead try to
determine whether the files differ by looking at the other
<code>--compare</code> methods in effect. (For example, if
<code>--resync-mode newer</code> is set, but the Path1 and Path2
modtimes are identical, bisync will compare the sizes.) If bisync
concludes that they differ, preference is given to whichever is the
"source" at that moment. (In practice, this gives a slight advantage to
Path2, as the 2to1 copy comes before the 1to2 copy.) If the files <em>do
not</em> differ, nothing is copied (as both sides are already correct).
- These options apply only to files that exist on both sides (with the
same name and relative path). Files that exist <em>only</em> on one side
and not the other are <em>always</em> copied to the other, during
<code>--resync</code> (this is one of the main differences between
resync and non-resync runs.). - <code>--conflict-resolve</code>,
<code>--conflict-loser</code>, and <code>--conflict-suffix</code> do not
apply during <code>--resync</code>, and unlike these flags, nothing is
renamed during <code>--resync</code>. When a file differs on both sides
during <code>--resync</code>, one version always overwrites the other
(much like in <code>rclone copy</code>.) (Consider using <a
href="#backup-dir1-and-backup-dir2"><code>--backup-dir</code></a> to
retain a backup of the losing version.) - Unlike for
<code>--conflict-resolve</code>, <code>--resync-mode none</code> is not
a valid option (or rather, it will be interpreted as "no resync", unless
<code>--resync</code> has also been specified, in which case it will be
ignored.) - Winners and losers are decided at the individual file-level
only (there is not currently an option to pick an entire winning
directory atomically, although the <code>path1</code> and
<code>path2</code> options typically produce a similar result.) - To
maintain backward-compatibility, the <code>--resync</code> flag implies
<code>--resync-mode path1</code> unless a different
<code>--resync-mode</code> is explicitly specified. Similarly, all
<code>--resync-mode</code> options (except <code>none</code>) imply
<code>--resync</code>, so it is not necessary to use both the
<code>--resync</code> and <code>--resync-mode</code> flags
simultaneously -- either one is sufficient without the other.</p>
<h3 id="check-access">--check-access</h3>
<p>Access check files are an additional safety measure against data
loss. bisync will ensure it can find matching <code>RCLONE_TEST</code>
files in the same places in the Path1 and Path2 filesystems.
<code>RCLONE_TEST</code> files are not generated automatically. For
<code>--check-access</code> to succeed, you must first either:
<strong>A)</strong> Place one or more <code>RCLONE_TEST</code> files in
both systems, or <strong>B)</strong> Set <code>--check-filename</code>
to a filename already in use in various locations throughout your sync'd
fileset. Recommended methods for <strong>A)</strong> include: *
<code>rclone touch Path1/RCLONE_TEST</code> (create a new file) *
<code>rclone copyto Path1/RCLONE_TEST Path2/RCLONE_TEST</code> (copy an
existing file) *
<code>rclone copy Path1/RCLONE_TEST Path2/RCLONE_TEST --include "RCLONE_TEST"</code>
(copy multiple files at once, recursively) * create the files manually
(outside of rclone) * run <code>bisync</code> once <em>without</em>
<code>--check-access</code> to set matching files on both filesystems
will also work, but is not preferred, due to potential for user error
(you are temporarily disabling the safety feature).</p>
<p>Note that <code>--check-access</code> is still enforced on
<code>--resync</code>, so <code>bisync --resync --check-access</code>
will not work as a method of initially setting the files (this is to
ensure that bisync can't <a
href="https://forum.rclone.org/t/bisync-bugs-and-feature-requests/37636#:~:text=3.%20%2D%2Dcheck%2Daccess%20doesn%27t%20always%20fail%20when%20it%20should">inadvertently
circumvent its own safety switch</a>.)</p>
<p>Time stamps and file contents for <code>RCLONE_TEST</code> files are
not important, just the names and locations. If you have symbolic links
in your sync tree it is recommended to place <code>RCLONE_TEST</code>
files in the linked-to directory tree to protect against bisync assuming
a bunch of deleted files if the linked-to tree should not be accessible.
See also the <a href="--check-filename">--check-filename</a> flag.</p>
<h3 id="check-filename">--check-filename</h3>
<p>Name of the file(s) used in access health validation. The default
<code>--check-filename</code> is <code>RCLONE_TEST</code>. One or more
files having this filename must exist, synchronized between your source
and destination filesets, in order for <code>--check-access</code> to
succeed. See <a href="#check-access">--check-access</a> for additional
details.</p>
<h3 id="compare">--compare</h3>
<p>As of <code>v1.66</code>, bisync fully supports comparing based on
any combination of size, modtime, and checksum (lifting the prior
restriction on backends without modtime support.)</p>
<p>By default (without the <code>--compare</code> flag), bisync inherits
the same comparison options as <code>sync</code> (that is:
<code>size</code> and <code>modtime</code> by default, unless modified
with flags such as <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#c-checksum"><code>--checksum</code></a>
or <a href="/docs/#size-only"><code>--size-only</code></a>.)</p>
<p>If the <code>--compare</code> flag is set, it will override these
defaults. This can be useful if you wish to compare based on
combinations not currently supported in <code>sync</code>, such as
comparing all three of <code>size</code> AND <code>modtime</code> AND
<code>checksum</code> simultaneously (or just <code>modtime</code> AND
<code>checksum</code>).</p>
<p><code>--compare</code> takes a comma-separated list, with the
currently supported values being <code>size</code>,
<code>modtime</code>, and <code>checksum</code>. For example, if you
want to compare size and checksum, but not modtime, you would do:</p>
<pre><code>--compare size,checksum</code></pre>
<p>Or if you want to compare all three:</p>
<pre><code>--compare size,modtime,checksum</code></pre>
<p><code>--compare</code> overrides any conflicting flags. For example,
if you set the conflicting flags
<code>--compare checksum --size-only</code>, <code>--size-only</code>
will be ignored, and bisync will compare checksum and not size. To avoid
confusion, it is recommended to use <em>either</em>
<code>--compare</code> or the normal <code>sync</code> flags, but not
both.</p>
<p>If <code>--compare</code> includes <code>checksum</code> and both
remotes support checksums but have no hash types in common with each
other, checksums will be considered <em>only</em> for comparisons within
the same side (to determine what has changed since the prior sync), but
not for comparisons against the opposite side. If one side supports
checksums and the other does not, checksums will only be considered on
the side that supports them.</p>
<p>When comparing with <code>checksum</code> and/or <code>size</code>
without <code>modtime</code>, bisync cannot determine whether a file is
<code>newer</code> or <code>older</code> -- only whether it is
<code>changed</code> or <code>unchanged</code>. (If it is
<code>changed</code> on both sides, bisync still does the standard
equality-check to avoid declaring a sync conflict unless it absolutely
has to.)</p>
<p>It is recommended to do a <code>--resync</code> when changing
<code>--compare</code> settings, as otherwise your prior listing files
may not contain the attributes you wish to compare (for example, they
will not have stored checksums if you were not previously comparing
checksums.)</p>
<h3 id="ignore-listing-checksum">--ignore-listing-checksum</h3>
<p>When <code>--checksum</code> or <code>--compare checksum</code> is
set, bisync will retrieve (or generate) checksums (for backends that
support them) when creating the listings for both paths, and store the
checksums in the listing files. <code>--ignore-listing-checksum</code>
will disable this behavior, which may speed things up considerably,
especially on backends (such as <a
href="https://rclone.org/local/">local</a>) where hashes must be
computed on the fly instead of retrieved. Please note the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>As of <code>v1.66</code>, <code>--ignore-listing-checksum</code> is
now automatically set when neither <code>--checksum</code> nor
<code>--compare checksum</code> are in use (as the checksums would not
be used for anything.)</li>
<li><code>--ignore-listing-checksum</code> is NOT the same as <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#ignore-checksum"><code>--ignore-checksum</code></a>,
and you may wish to use one or the other, or both. In a nutshell:
<code>--ignore-listing-checksum</code> controls whether checksums are
considered when scanning for diffs, while <code>--ignore-checksum</code>
controls whether checksums are considered during the copy/sync
operations that follow, if there ARE diffs.</li>
<li>Unless <code>--ignore-listing-checksum</code> is passed, bisync
currently computes hashes for one path <em>even when there's no common
hash with the other path</em> (for example, a <a
href="https://rclone.org/crypt/#modification-times-and-hashes">crypt</a>
remote.) This can still be beneficial, as the hashes will still be used
to detect changes within the same side (if <code>--checksum</code> or
<code>--compare checksum</code> is set), even if they can't be used to
compare against the opposite side.</li>
<li>If you wish to ignore listing checksums <em>only</em> on remotes
where they are slow to compute, consider using <a
href="#no-slow-hash"><code>--no-slow-hash</code></a> (or <a
href="#slow-hash-sync-only"><code>--slow-hash-sync-only</code></a>)
instead of <code>--ignore-listing-checksum</code>.</li>
<li>If <code>--ignore-listing-checksum</code> is used simultaneously
with <code>--compare checksum</code> (or <code>--checksum</code>),
checksums will be ignored for bisync deltas, but still considered during
the sync operations that follow (if deltas are detected based on modtime
and/or size.)</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="no-slow-hash">--no-slow-hash</h3>
<p>On some remotes (notably <code>local</code>), checksums can
dramatically slow down a bisync run, because hashes cannot be stored and
need to be computed in real-time when they are requested. On other
remotes (such as <code>drive</code>), they add practically no time at
all. The <code>--no-slow-hash</code> flag will automatically skip
checksums on remotes where they are slow, while still comparing them on
others (assuming <a href="#compare"><code>--compare</code></a> includes
<code>checksum</code>.) This can be useful when one of your bisync paths
is slow but you still want to check checksums on the other, for a more
robust sync.</p>
<h3 id="slow-hash-sync-only">--slow-hash-sync-only</h3>
<p>Same as <a href="#no-slow-hash"><code>--no-slow-hash</code></a>,
except slow hashes are still considered during sync calls. They are
still NOT considered for determining deltas, nor or they included in
listings. They are also skipped during <code>--resync</code>. The main
use case for this flag is when you have a large number of files, but
relatively few of them change from run to run -- so you don't want to
check your entire tree every time (it would take too long), but you
still want to consider checksums for the smaller group of files for
which a <code>modtime</code> or <code>size</code> change was detected.
Keep in mind that this speed savings comes with a safety trade-off: if a
file's content were to change without a change to its
<code>modtime</code> or <code>size</code>, bisync would not detect it,
and it would not be synced.</p>
<p><code>--slow-hash-sync-only</code> is only useful if both remotes
share a common hash type (if they don't, bisync will automatically fall
back to <code>--no-slow-hash</code>.) Both <code>--no-slow-hash</code>
and <code>--slow-hash-sync-only</code> have no effect without
<code>--compare checksum</code> (or <code>--checksum</code>).</p>
<h3 id="download-hash">--download-hash</h3>
<p>If <code>--download-hash</code> is set, bisync will use best efforts
to obtain an MD5 checksum by downloading and computing on-the-fly, when
checksums are not otherwise available (for example, a remote that
doesn't support them.) Note that since rclone has to download the entire
file, this may dramatically slow down your bisync runs, and is also
likely to use a lot of data, so it is probably not practical for bisync
paths with a large total file size. However, it can be a good option for
syncing small-but-important files with maximum accuracy (for example, a
source code repo on a <code>crypt</code> remote.) An additional
advantage over methods like <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_cryptcheck/"><code>cryptcheck</code></a>
is that the original file is not required for comparison (for example,
<code>--download-hash</code> can be used to bisync two different crypt
remotes with different passwords.)</p>
<p>When <code>--download-hash</code> is set, bisync still looks for more
efficient checksums first, and falls back to downloading only when none
are found. It takes priority over conflicting flags such as
<code>--no-slow-hash</code>. <code>--download-hash</code> is not
suitable for <a href="#gdocs">Google Docs</a> and other files of unknown
size, as their checksums would change from run to run (due to small
variances in the internals of the generated export file.) Therefore,
bisync automatically skips <code>--download-hash</code> for files with a
size less than 0.</p>
<p>See also: <a
href="https://rclone.org/hasher/"><code>Hasher</code></a> backend, <a

command</p>
<h3 id="max-delete">--max-delete</h3>
<p>As a safety check, if greater than the <code>--max-delete</code>
percent of files were deleted on either the Path1 or Path2 filesystem,
then bisync will abort with a warning message, without making any
changes. The default <code>--max-delete</code> is <code>50%</code>. One
way to trigger this limit is to rename a directory that contains more
than half of your files. This will appear to bisync as a bunch of
deleted files and a bunch of new files. This safety check is intended to
block bisync from deleting all of the files on both filesystems due to a
temporary network access issue, or if the user had inadvertently deleted
the files on one side or the other. To force the sync, either set a
different delete percentage limit, e.g. <code>--max-delete 75</code>
(allows up to 75% deletion), or use <code>--force</code> to bypass the
check.</p>
<p>Also see the <a href="#all-files-changed">all files changed</a>
check.</p>
<h3 id="filters-file">--filters-file</h3>
<p>By using rclone filter features you can exclude file types or
directory sub-trees from the sync. See the <a href="#filtering">bisync
filters</a> section and generic <a
href="https://rclone.org/filtering/#filter-from-read-filtering-patterns-from-a-file">--filter-from</a>
documentation. An <a href="#example-filters-file">example filters
file</a> contains filters for non-allowed files for synching with
Dropbox.</p>
<p>If you make changes to your filters file then bisync requires a run
with <code>--resync</code>. This is a safety feature, which prevents
existing files on the Path1 and/or Path2 side from seeming to disappear
from view (since they are excluded in the new listings), which would
fool bisync into seeing them as deleted (as compared to the prior run
listings), and then bisync would proceed to delete them for real.</p>
<p>To block this from happening, bisync calculates an MD5 hash of the
filters file and stores the hash in a <code>.md5</code> file in the same
place as your filters file. On the next run with
<code>--filters-file</code> set, bisync re-calculates the MD5 hash of
the current filters file and compares it to the hash stored in the
<code>.md5</code> file. If they don't match, the run aborts with a
critical error and thus forces you to do a <code>--resync</code>, likely
avoiding a disaster.</p>
<h3 id="conflict-resolve">--conflict-resolve CHOICE</h3>
<p>In bisync, a "conflict" is a file that is <em>new</em> or
<em>changed</em> on <em>both sides</em> (relative to the prior run) AND
is <em>not currently identical</em> on both sides.
<code>--conflict-resolve</code> controls how bisync handles such a
scenario. The currently supported options are:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>none</code> - (the default) - do not attempt to pick a winner,
keep and rename both files according to <a
href="#conflict-loser"><code>--conflict-loser</code></a> and <a
href="#conflict-suffix"><code>--conflict-suffix</code></a> settings. For
example, with the default settings, <code>file.txt</code> on Path1 is
renamed <code>file.txt.conflict1</code> and <code>file.txt</code> on
Path2 is renamed <code>file.txt.conflict2</code>. Both are copied to the
opposite path during the run, so both sides end up with a copy of both
files. (As <code>none</code> is the default, it is not necessary to
specify <code>--conflict-resolve none</code> -- you can just omit the
flag.)</li>
<li><code>newer</code> - the newer file (by <code>modtime</code>) is
considered the winner and is copied without renaming. The older file
(the "loser") is handled according to <code>--conflict-loser</code> and
<code>--conflict-suffix</code> settings (either renamed or deleted.) For
example, if <code>file.txt</code> on Path1 is newer than
<code>file.txt</code> on Path2, the result on both sides (with other
default settings) will be <code>file.txt</code> (winner from Path1) and
<code>file.txt.conflict1</code> (loser from Path2).</li>
<li><code>older</code> - same as <code>newer</code>, except the older
file is considered the winner, and the newer file is considered the
loser.</li>
<li><code>larger</code> - the larger file (by <code>size</code>) is
considered the winner (regardless of <code>modtime</code>, if any).</li>
<li><code>smaller</code> - the smaller file (by <code>size</code>) is
considered the winner (regardless of <code>modtime</code>, if any).</li>
<li><code>path1</code> - the version from Path1 is unconditionally
considered the winner (regardless of <code>modtime</code> and
<code>size</code>, if any). This can be useful if one side is usually
more trusted or up-to-date than the other.</li>
<li><code>path2</code> - same as <code>path1</code>, except the path2
version is considered the winner.</li>
</ul>
<p>For all of the above options, note the following: - If either of the
underlying remotes lacks support for the chosen method, it will be
ignored and fall back to <code>none</code>. (For example, if
<code>--conflict-resolve newer</code> is set, but one of the paths uses
a remote that doesn't support <code>modtime</code>.) - If a winner can't
be determined because the chosen method's attribute is missing or equal,
it will be ignored and fall back to <code>none</code>. (For example, if
<code>--conflict-resolve newer</code> is set, but the Path1 and Path2
modtimes are identical, even if the sizes may differ.) - If the file's
content is currently identical on both sides, it is not considered a
"conflict", even if new or changed on both sides since the prior sync.
(For example, if you made a change on one side and then synced it to the
other side by other means.) Therefore, none of the conflict resolution
flags apply in this scenario. - The conflict resolution flags do not
apply during a <code>--resync</code>, as there is no "prior run" to
speak of (but see <a href="#resync-mode"><code>--resync-mode</code></a>
for similar options.)</p>
<h3 id="conflict-loser">--conflict-loser CHOICE</h3>
<p><code>--conflict-loser</code> determines what happens to the "loser"
of a sync conflict (when <a
href="#conflict-resolve"><code>--conflict-resolve</code></a> determines
a winner) or to both files (when there is no winner.) The currently
supported options are:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>num</code> - (the default) - auto-number the conflicts by
automatically appending the next available number to the
<code>--conflict-suffix</code>, in chronological order. For example,
with the default settings, the first conflict for <code>file.txt</code>
will be renamed <code>file.txt.conflict1</code>. If
<code>file.txt.conflict1</code> already exists,
<code>file.txt.conflict2</code> will be used instead (etc., up to a
maximum of 9223372036854775807 conflicts.)</li>
<li><code>pathname</code> - rename the conflicts according to which side
they came from, which was the default behavior prior to
<code>v1.66</code>. For example, with
<code>--conflict-suffix path</code>, <code>file.txt</code> from Path1
will be renamed <code>file.txt.path1</code>, and <code>file.txt</code>
from Path2 will be renamed <code>file.txt.path2</code>. If two
non-identical suffixes are provided (ex.
<code>--conflict-suffix cloud,local</code>), the trailing digit is
omitted. Importantly, note that with <code>pathname</code>, there is no
auto-numbering beyond <code>2</code>, so if <code>file.txt.path2</code>
somehow already exists, it will be overwritten. Using a dynamic date
variable in your <code>--conflict-suffix</code> (see below) is one
possible way to avoid this. Note also that conflicts-of-conflicts are
possible, if the original conflict is not manually resolved -- for
example, if for some reason you edited <code>file.txt.path1</code> on
both sides, and those edits were different, the result would be
<code>file.txt.path1.path1</code> and <code>file.txt.path1.path2</code>
(in addition to <code>file.txt.path2</code>.)</li>
<li><code>delete</code> - keep the winner only and delete the loser,
instead of renaming it. If a winner cannot be determined (see
<code>--conflict-resolve</code> for details on how this could happen),
<code>delete</code> is ignored and the default <code>num</code> is used
instead (i.e. both versions are kept and renamed, and neither is
deleted.) <code>delete</code> is inherently the most destructive option,
so use it only with care.</li>
</ul>
<p>For all of the above options, note that if a winner cannot be
determined (see <code>--conflict-resolve</code> for details on how this
could happen), or if <code>--conflict-resolve</code> is not in use,
<em>both</em> files will be renamed.</p>
<h3 id="conflict-suffix">--conflict-suffix STRING[,STRING]</h3>
<p><code>--conflict-suffix</code> controls the suffix that is appended
when bisync renames a <a
href="#conflict-loser"><code>--conflict-loser</code></a> (default:
<code>conflict</code>). <code>--conflict-suffix</code> will accept
either one string or two comma-separated strings to assign different
suffixes to Path1 vs. Path2. This may be helpful later in identifying
the source of the conflict. (For example,
<code>--conflict-suffix dropboxconflict,laptopconflict</code>)</p>
<p>With <code>--conflict-loser num</code>, a number is always appended
to the suffix. With <code>--conflict-loser pathname</code>, a number is
appended only when one suffix is specified (or when two identical
suffixes are specified.) i.e. with
<code>--conflict-loser pathname</code>, all of the following would
produce exactly the same result:</p>
<pre><code>--conflict-suffix path
--conflict-suffix path,path
--conflict-suffix path1,path2</code></pre>
<p>Suffixes may be as short as 1 character. By default, the suffix is
appended after any other extensions (ex.
<code>file.jpg.conflict1</code>), however, this can be changed with the
<a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#suffix-keep-extension"><code>--suffix-keep-extension</code></a>
flag (i.e. to instead result in <code>file.conflict1.jpg</code>).</p>
<p><code>--conflict-suffix</code> supports several <em>dynamic date
variables</em> when enclosed in curly braces as globs. This can be
helpful to track the date and/or time that each conflict was handled by
bisync. For example:</p>
<pre><code>--conflict-suffix {DateOnly}-conflict
// result: myfile.txt.2006-01-02-conflict1</code></pre>
<p>All of the formats described <a
href="https://pkg.go.dev/time#pkg-constants">here</a> and <a
href="https://pkg.go.dev/time#example-Time.Format">here</a> are
supported, but take care to ensure that your chosen format does not use
any characters that are illegal on your remotes (for example, macOS does
not allow colons in filenames, and slashes are also best avoided as they
are often interpreted as directory separators.) To address this
particular issue, an additional <code>{MacFriendlyTime}</code> (or just
<code>{mac}</code>) option is supported, which results in
<code>2006-01-02 0304PM</code>.</p>
<p>Note that <code>--conflict-suffix</code> is entirely separate from
rclone's main <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#suffix-suffix"><code>--sufix</code></a>
flag. This is intentional, as users may wish to use both flags
simultaneously, if also using <a
href="#backup-dir1-and-backup-dir2"><code>--backup-dir</code></a>.</p>
<p>Finally, note that the default in bisync prior to <code>v1.66</code>
was to rename conflicts with <code>..path1</code> and
<code>..path2</code> (with two periods, and <code>path</code> instead of
<code>conflict</code>.) Bisync now defaults to a single dot instead of a
double dot, but additional dots can be added by including them in the
specified suffix string. For example, for behavior equivalent to the
previous default, use:</p>
<pre><code>[--conflict-resolve none] --conflict-loser pathname --conflict-suffix .path</code></pre>
<h3 id="check-sync">--check-sync</h3>
<p>Enabled by default, the check-sync function checks that all of the
same files exist in both the Path1 and Path2 history listings. This
<em>check-sync</em> integrity check is performed at the end of the sync
run by default. Any untrapped failing copy/deletes between the two paths
might result in differences between the two listings and in the
untracked file content differences between the two paths. A resync run
would correct the error.</p>
<p>Note that the default-enabled integrity check locally executes a load
of both the final Path1 and Path2 listings, and thus adds to the run
time of a sync. Using <code>--check-sync=false</code> will disable it
and may significantly reduce the sync run times for very large numbers
of files.</p>
<p>The check may be run manually with <code>--check-sync=only</code>. It
runs only the integrity check and terminates without actually
synching.</p>
<p>Note that currently, <code>--check-sync</code> <strong>only checks
listing snapshots and NOT the actual files on the remotes.</strong> Note
also that the listing snapshots will not know about any changes that
happened during or after the latest bisync run, as those will be
discovered on the next run. Therefore, while listings should always
match <em>each other</em> at the end of a bisync run, it is
<em>expected</em> that they will not match the underlying remotes, nor
will the remotes match each other, if there were changes during or after
the run. This is normal, and any differences will be detected and synced
on the next run.</p>
<p>For a robust integrity check of the current state of the remotes (as
opposed to just their listing snapshots), consider using <a
href="commands/rclone_check/"><code>check</code></a> (or <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_cryptcheck/"><code>cryptcheck</code></a>,
if at least one path is a <code>crypt</code> remote) instead of
<code>--check-sync</code>, keeping in mind that differences are expected
if files changed during or after your last bisync run.</p>
<p>For example, a possible sequence could look like this:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>Normally scheduled bisync run:</li>
</ol>
<pre><code>rclone bisync Path1 Path2 -MPc --check-access --max-delete 10 --filters-file /path/to/filters.txt -v --no-cleanup --ignore-listing-checksum --disable ListR --checkers=16 --drive-pacer-min-sleep=10ms --create-empty-src-dirs --resilient</code></pre>
<ol start="2" type="1">
<li>Periodic independent integrity check (perhaps scheduled nightly or
weekly):</li>
</ol>
<pre><code>rclone check -MvPc Path1 Path2 --filter-from /path/to/filters.txt</code></pre>
<ol start="3" type="1">
<li>If diffs are found, you have some choices to correct them. If one
side is more up-to-date and you want to make the other side match it,
you could run:</li>
</ol>
<pre><code>rclone sync Path1 Path2 --filter-from /path/to/filters.txt --create-empty-src-dirs -MPc -v</code></pre>
<p>(or switch Path1 and Path2 to make Path2 the source-of-truth)</p>
<p>Or, if neither side is totally up-to-date, you could run a
<code>--resync</code> to bring them back into agreement (but remember
that this could cause deleted files to re-appear.)</p>
<p>*Note also that <code>rclone check</code> does not currently include
empty directories, so if you want to know if any empty directories are
out of sync, consider alternatively running the above
<code>rclone sync</code> command with <code>--dry-run</code> added.</p>

<h3 id="resilient">--resilient</h3>
<p><strong><em>Caution: this is an experimental feature. Use at your own
risk!</em></strong></p>
<p>By default, most errors or interruptions will cause bisync to abort
and require <a href="#resync"><code>--resync</code></a> to recover. This
is a safety feature, to prevent bisync from running again until a user
checks things out. However, in some cases, bisync can go too far and
enforce a lockout when one isn't actually necessary, like for certain
less-serious errors that might resolve themselves on the next run. When
<code>--resilient</code> is specified, bisync tries its best to recover
and self-correct, and only requires <code>--resync</code> as a last
resort when a human's involvement is absolutely necessary. The intended
use case is for running bisync as a background process (such as via
scheduled <a href="#cron">cron</a>).</p>
<p>When using <code>--resilient</code> mode, bisync will still report
the error and abort, however it will not lock out future runs --
allowing the possibility of retrying at the next normally scheduled
time, without requiring a <code>--resync</code> first. Examples of such
retryable errors include access test failures, missing listing files,
and filter change detections. These safety features will still prevent
the <em>current</em> run from proceeding -- the difference is that if
conditions have improved by the time of the <em>next</em> run, that next
run will be allowed to proceed. Certain more serious errors will still
enforce a <code>--resync</code> lockout, even in
<code>--resilient</code> mode, to prevent data loss.</p>
<p>Behavior of <code>--resilient</code> may change in a future version.
(See also: <a href="#recover"><code>--recover</code></a>, <a
href="#max-lock"><code>--max-lock</code></a>, <a
href="#graceful-shutdown">Graceful Shutdown</a>)</p>
<h3 id="recover">--recover</h3>
<p>If <code>--recover</code> is set, in the event of a sudden
interruption or other un-graceful shutdown, bisync will attempt to
automatically recover on the next run, instead of requiring
<code>--resync</code>. Bisync is able to recover robustly by keeping one
"backup" listing at all times, representing the state of both paths
after the last known successful sync. Bisync can then compare the
current state with this snapshot to determine which changes it needs to
retry. Changes that were synced after this snapshot (during the run that
was later interrupted) will appear to bisync as if they are "new or
changed on both sides", but in most cases this is not a problem, as
bisync will simply do its usual "equality check" and learn that no
action needs to be taken on these files, since they are already
identical on both sides.</p>
<p>In the rare event that a file is synced successfully during a run
that later aborts, and then that same file changes AGAIN before the next
run, bisync will think it is a sync conflict, and handle it accordingly.
(From bisync's perspective, the file has changed on both sides since the
last trusted sync, and the files on either side are not currently
identical.) Therefore, <code>--recover</code> carries with it a slightly
increased chance of having conflicts -- though in practice this is
pretty rare, as the conditions required to cause it are quite specific.
This risk can be reduced by using bisync's <a
href="#graceful-shutdown">"Graceful Shutdown"</a> mode (triggered by
sending <code>SIGINT</code> or <code>Ctrl+C</code>), when you have the
choice, instead of forcing a sudden termination.</p>
<p><code>--recover</code> and <code>--resilient</code> are similar, but
distinct -- the main difference is that <code>--resilient</code> is
about <em>retrying</em>, while <code>--recover</code> is about
<em>recovering</em>. Most users will probably want both.
<code>--resilient</code> allows retrying when bisync has chosen to abort
itself due to safety features such as failing
<code>--check-access</code> or detecting a filter change.
<code>--resilient</code> does not cover external interruptions such as a
user shutting down their computer in the middle of a sync -- that is
what <code>--recover</code> is for.</p>
<h3 id="max-lock">--max-lock</h3>
<p>Bisync uses <a href="#lock-file">lock files</a> as a safety feature
to prevent interference from other bisync runs while it is running.
Bisync normally removes these lock files at the end of a run, but if
bisync is abruptly interrupted, these files will be left behind. By
default, they will lock out all future runs, until the user has a chance
to manually check things out and remove the lock. As an alternative,
<code>--max-lock</code> can be used to make them automatically expire
after a certain period of time, so that future runs are not locked out
forever, and auto-recovery is possible. <code>--max-lock</code> can be
any duration <code>2m</code> or greater (or <code>0</code> to disable).
If set, lock files older than this will be considered "expired", and
future runs will be allowed to disregard them and proceed. (Note that
the <code>--max-lock</code> duration must be set by the process that
left the lock file -- not the later one interpreting it.)</p>
<p>If set, bisync will also "renew" these lock files every
<code>--max-lock minus one minute</code> throughout a run, for extra
safety. (For example, with <code>--max-lock 5m</code>, bisync would
renew the lock file (for another 5 minutes) every 4 minutes until the
run has completed.) In other words, it should not be possible for a lock
file to pass its expiration time while the process that created it is
still running -- and you can therefore be reasonably sure that any
<em>expired</em> lock file you may find was left there by an interrupted
run, not one that is still running and just taking awhile.</p>
<p>If <code>--max-lock</code> is <code>0</code> or not set, the default
is that lock files will never expire, and will block future runs (of
these same two bisync paths) indefinitely.</p>
<p>For maximum resilience from disruptions, consider setting a
relatively short duration like <code>--max-lock 2m</code> along with <a
href="#resilient"><code>--resilient</code></a> and <a
href="#recover"><code>--recover</code></a>, and a relatively frequent <a
href="#cron">cron schedule</a>. The result will be a very robust
"set-it-and-forget-it" bisync run that can automatically bounce back
from almost any interruption it might encounter, without requiring the
user to get involved and run a <code>--resync</code>. (See also: <a
href="#graceful-shutdown">Graceful Shutdown</a> mode)</p>
<h3 id="backup-dir1-and---backup-dir2">--backup-dir1 and
--backup-dir2</h3>
<p>As of <code>v1.66</code>, <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#backup-dir-dir"><code>--backup-dir</code></a>
is supported in bisync. Because <code>--backup-dir</code> must be a
non-overlapping path on the same remote, Bisync has introduced new
<code>--backup-dir1</code> and <code>--backup-dir2</code> flags to
support separate backup-dirs for <code>Path1</code> and
<code>Path2</code> (bisyncing between different remotes with
<code>--backup-dir</code> would not otherwise be possible.)
<code>--backup-dir1</code> and <code>--backup-dir2</code> can use
different remotes from each other, but <code>--backup-dir1</code> must
use the same remote as <code>Path1</code>, and
<code>--backup-dir2</code> must use the same remote as
<code>Path2</code>. Each backup directory must not overlap its
respective bisync Path without being excluded by a filter rule.</p>
<p>The standard <code>--backup-dir</code> will also work, if both paths
use the same remote (but note that deleted files from both paths would
be mixed together in the same dir). If either <code>--backup-dir1</code>
and <code>--backup-dir2</code> are set, they will override
<code>--backup-dir</code>.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre><code>rclone bisync /Users/someuser/some/local/path/Bisync gdrive:Bisync --backup-dir1 /Users/someuser/some/local/path/BackupDir --backup-dir2 gdrive:BackupDir --suffix -2023-08-26 --suffix-keep-extension --check-access --max-delete 10 --filters-file /Users/someuser/some/local/path/bisync_filters.txt --no-cleanup --ignore-listing-checksum --checkers=16 --drive-pacer-min-sleep=10ms --create-empty-src-dirs --resilient -MvP --drive-skip-gdocs --fix-case</code></pre>
<p>In this example, if the user deletes a file in
<code>/Users/someuser/some/local/path/Bisync</code>, bisync will
propagate the delete to the other side by moving the corresponding file
from <code>gdrive:Bisync</code> to <code>gdrive:BackupDir</code>. If the
user deletes a file from <code>gdrive:Bisync</code>, bisync moves it
from <code>/Users/someuser/some/local/path/Bisync</code> to
<code>/Users/someuser/some/local/path/BackupDir</code>.</p>
<p>In the event of a <a href="#conflict-loser">rename due to a sync
conflict</a>, the rename is not considered a delete, unless a previous
conflict with the same name already exists and would get
overwritten.</p>

<p>As of <code>rclone v1.64</code>, bisync is now better at detecting
<em>false positive</em> sync conflicts, which would previously have
resulted in unnecessary renames and duplicates. Now, when bisync comes
to a file that it wants to rename (because it is new/changed on both
sides), it first checks whether the Path1 and Path2 versions are
currently <em>identical</em> (using the same underlying function as <a
href="commands/rclone_check/"><code>check</code></a>.) If bisync
concludes that the files are identical, it will skip them and move on.
Otherwise, it will create renamed duplicates, as before. This behavior
also <a
href="https://forum.rclone.org/t/bisync-bugs-and-feature-requests/37636#:~:text=Renamed%20directories">improves
the experience of renaming directories</a>, as a <code>--resync</code>
is no longer required, so long as the same change has been made on both
sides.</p>
<h3 id="all-files-changed">All files changed check</h3>
<p>If <em>all</em> prior existing files on either of the filesystems
have changed (e.g. timestamps have changed due to changing the system's
timezone) then bisync will abort without making any changes. Any new
files are not considered for this check. You could use
<code>--force</code> to force the sync (whichever side has the changed
timestamp files wins). Alternately, a <code>--resync</code> may be used
(Path1 versions will be pushed to Path2). Consider the situation
carefully and perhaps use <code>--dry-run</code> before you commit to
the changes.</p>
<h3 id="modification-times">Modification times</h3>
<p>By default, bisync compares files by modification time and size. If
you or your application should change the content of a file without
changing the modification time and size, then bisync will <em>not</em>
notice the change, and thus will not copy it to the other side. As an
alternative, consider comparing by checksum (if your remotes support
it). See <a href="#compare"><code>--compare</code></a> for details.</p>
<h3 id="error-handling">Error handling</h3>
<p>Certain bisync critical errors, such as file copy/move failing, will
result in a bisync lockout of following runs. The lockout is asserted
because the sync status and history of the Path1 and Path2 filesystems
cannot be trusted, so it is safer to block any further changes until
someone checks things out. The recovery is to do a <code>--resync</code>
again.</p>
<p>It is recommended to use <code>--resync --dry-run --verbose</code>
initially and <em>carefully</em> review what changes will be made before
running the <code>--resync</code> without <code>--dry-run</code>.</p>
<p>Most of these events come up due to an error status from an internal
call. On such a critical error the <code>{...}.path1.lst</code> and
<code>{...}.path2.lst</code> listing files are renamed to extension
<code>.lst-err</code>, which blocks any future bisync runs (since the
normal <code>.lst</code> files are not found). Bisync keeps them under
<code>bisync</code> subdirectory of the rclone cache directory,
typically at <code>${HOME}/.cache/rclone/bisync/</code> on Linux.</p>
<p>Some errors are considered temporary and re-running the bisync is not
blocked. The <em>critical return</em> blocks further bisync runs.</p>
<p>See also: <a href="#resilient"><code>--resilient</code></a>, <a
href="#recover"><code>--recover</code></a>, <a
href="#max-lock"><code>--max-lock</code></a>, <a
href="#graceful-shutdown">Graceful Shutdown</a></p>
<h3 id="lock-file">Lock file</h3>
<p>When bisync is running, a lock file is created in the bisync working
directory, typically at
<code>~/.cache/rclone/bisync/PATH1..PATH2.lck</code> on Linux. If bisync
should crash or hang, the lock file will remain in place and block any
further runs of bisync <em>for the same paths</em>. Delete the lock file
as part of debugging the situation. The lock file effectively blocks
follow-on (e.g., scheduled by <em>cron</em>) runs when the prior
invocation is taking a long time. The lock file contains <em>PID</em> of
the blocking process, which may help in debug. Lock files can be set to
automatically expire after a certain amount of time, using the <a
href="#max-lock"><code>--max-lock</code></a> flag.</p>
<p><strong>Note</strong> that while concurrent bisync runs are allowed,
<em>be very cautious</em> that there is no overlap in the trees being
synched between concurrent runs, lest there be replicated files, deleted
files and general mayhem.</p>
<h3 id="return-codes">Return codes</h3>
<p><code>rclone bisync</code> returns the following codes to calling
program: - <code>0</code> on a successful run, - <code>1</code> for a
non-critical failing run (a rerun may be successful), - <code>2</code>
for a critically aborted run (requires a <code>--resync</code> to
recover).</p>
<h3 id="graceful-shutdown">Graceful Shutdown</h3>
<p>Bisync has a "Graceful Shutdown" mode which is activated by sending
<code>SIGINT</code> or pressing <code>Ctrl+C</code> during a run. Once
triggered, bisync will use best efforts to exit cleanly before the timer
runs out. If bisync is in the middle of transferring files, it will
attempt to cleanly empty its queue by finishing what it has started but
not taking more. If it cannot do so within 30 seconds, it will cancel
the in-progress transfers at that point and then give itself a maximum
of 60 seconds to wrap up, save its state for next time, and exit. With
the <code>-vP</code> flags you will see constant status updates and a
final confirmation of whether or not the graceful shutdown was
successful.</p>
<p>At any point during the "Graceful Shutdown" sequence, a second
<code>SIGINT</code> or <code>Ctrl+C</code> will trigger an immediate,
un-graceful exit, which will leave things in a messier state. Usually a
robust recovery will still be possible if using <a
href="#recover"><code>--recover</code></a> mode, otherwise you will need
to do a <code>--resync</code>.</p>
<p>If you plan to use Graceful Shutdown mode, it is recommended to use
<a href="#resilient"><code>--resilient</code></a> and <a
href="#recover"><code>--recover</code></a>, and it is important to NOT
use <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#inplace"><code>--inplace</code></a>,
otherwise you risk leaving partially-written files on one side, which
may be confused for real files on the next run. Note also that in the
event of an abrupt interruption, a <a href="#lock-file">lock file</a>
will be left behind to block concurrent runs. You will need to delete it
before you can proceed with the next run (or wait for it to expire on
its own, if using <code>--max-lock</code>.)</p>
<h2 id="limitations-4">Limitations</h2>
<h3 id="supported-backends">Supported backends</h3>
<p>Bisync is considered <em>BETA</em> and has been tested with the
following backends: - Local filesystem - Google Drive - Dropbox -
OneDrive - S3 - SFTP - Yandex Disk - Crypt</p>
<p>It has not been fully tested with other services yet. If it works, or
sorta works, please let us know and we'll update the list. Run the test
suite to check for proper operation as described below.</p>
<p>The first release of <code>rclone bisync</code> required both
underlying backends to support modification times, and refused to run
otherwise. This limitation has been lifted as of <code>v1.66</code>, as
bisync now supports comparing checksum and/or size instead of (or in
addition to) modtime. See <a href="#compare"><code>--compare</code></a>
for details.</p>
<h3 id="concurrent-modifications">Concurrent modifications</h3>
<p>When using <strong>Local, FTP or SFTP</strong> remotes with <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#inplace"><code>--inplace</code></a>,
rclone does not create <em>temporary</em> files at the destination when
copying, and thus if the connection is lost the created file may be
corrupt, which will likely propagate back to the original path on the
next sync, resulting in data loss. It is therefore recommended to
<em>omit</em> <code>--inplace</code>.</p>
<p>Files that <strong>change during</strong> a bisync run may result in
data loss. Prior to <code>rclone v1.66</code>, this was commonly seen in
highly dynamic environments, where the filesystem was getting hammered
by running processes during the sync. As of <code>rclone v1.66</code>,
bisync was redesigned to use a "snapshot" model, greatly reducing the
risks from changes during a sync. Changes that are not detected during
the current sync will now be detected during the following sync, and
will no longer cause the entire run to throw a critical error. There is
additionally a mechanism to mark files as needing to be internally
rechecked next time, for added safety. It should therefore no longer be
necessary to sync only at quiet times -- however, note that an error can
still occur if a file happens to change at the exact moment it's being
read/written by bisync (same as would happen in
<code>rclone sync</code>.) (See also: <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#ignore-checksum"><code>--ignore-checksum</code></a>,
<a
href="https://rclone.org/local/#local-no-check-updated"><code>--local-no-check-updated</code></a>)</p>
<h3 id="empty-directories">Empty directories</h3>
<p>By default, new/deleted empty directories on one path are
<em>not</em> propagated to the other side. This is because bisync (and
rclone) natively works on files, not directories. However, this can be
changed with the <code>--create-empty-src-dirs</code> flag, which works
in much the same way as in <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_sync/"><code>sync</code></a>
and <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_copy/"><code>copy</code></a>.
When used, empty directories created or deleted on one side will also be
created or deleted on the other side. The following should be noted: *
<code>--create-empty-src-dirs</code> is not compatible with
<code>--remove-empty-dirs</code>. Use only one or the other (or
neither). * It is not recommended to switch back and forth between
<code>--create-empty-src-dirs</code> and the default (no
<code>--create-empty-src-dirs</code>) without running
<code>--resync</code>. This is because it may appear as though all
directories (not just the empty ones) were created/deleted, when
actually you've just toggled between making them visible/invisible to
bisync. It looks scarier than it is, but it's still probably best to
stick to one or the other, and use <code>--resync</code> when you need
to switch.</p>
<h3 id="renamed-directories">Renamed directories</h3>
<p>By default, renaming a folder on the Path1 side results in deleting
all files on the Path2 side and then copying all files again from Path1
to Path2. Bisync sees this as all files in the old directory name as
deleted and all files in the new directory name as new.</p>
<p>A recommended solution is to use <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#track-renames"><code>--track-renames</code></a>,
which is now supported in bisync as of <code>rclone v1.66</code>. Note
that <code>--track-renames</code> is not available during
<code>--resync</code>, as <code>--resync</code> does not delete anything
(<code>--track-renames</code> only supports <code>sync</code>, not
<code>copy</code>.)</p>
<p>Otherwise, the most effective and efficient method of renaming a
directory is to rename it to the same name on both sides. (As of
<code>rclone v1.64</code>, a <code>--resync</code> is no longer required
after doing so, as bisync will automatically detect that Path1 and Path2
are in agreement.)</p>
<h3 id="fast-list-used-by-default"><code>--fast-list</code> used by
default</h3>
<p>Unlike most other rclone commands, bisync uses <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#fast-list"><code>--fast-list</code></a>
by default, for backends that support it. In many cases this is
desirable, however, there are some scenarios in which bisync could be
faster <em>without</em> <code>--fast-list</code>, and there is also a <a
href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/commit/cbf3d4356135814921382dd3285d859d15d0aa77">known
issue concerning Google Drive users with many empty directories</a>. For
now, the recommended way to avoid using <code>--fast-list</code> is to
add <code>--disable ListR</code> to all bisync commands. The default
behavior may change in a future version.</p>
<h3 id="case-sensitivity">Case (and unicode) sensitivity</h3>
<p>As of <code>v1.66</code>, case and unicode form differences no longer
cause critical errors, and normalization (when comparing between
filesystems) is handled according to the same flags and defaults as
<code>rclone sync</code>. See the following options (all of which are
supported by bisync) to control this behavior more granularly: - <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#fix-case"><code>--fix-case</code></a> -
<a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#ignore-case-sync"><code>--ignore-case-sync</code></a>
- <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#no-unicode-normalization"><code>--no-unicode-normalization</code></a>
- <a
href="https://rclone.org/local/#local-unicode-normalization"><code>--local-unicode-normalization</code></a>
and <a
href="https://rclone.org/local/#local-case-sensitive"><code>--local-case-sensitive</code></a>
(caution: these are normally not what you want.)</p>
<p>Note that in the (probably rare) event that <code>--fix-case</code>
is used AND a file is new/changed on both sides AND the checksums match
AND the filename case does not match, the Path1 filename is considered
the winner, for the purposes of <code>--fix-case</code> (Path2 will be
renamed to match it).</p>
<h2 id="windows">Windows support</h2>
<p>Bisync has been tested on Windows 8.1, Windows 10 Pro 64-bit and on
Windows GitHub runners.</p>
<p>Drive letters are allowed, including drive letters mapped to network
drives (<code>rclone bisync J:\localsync GDrive:</code>). If a drive
letter is omitted, the shell current drive is the default. Drive letters
are a single character follows by <code>:</code>, so cloud names must be
more than one character long.</p>
<p>Absolute paths (with or without a drive letter), and relative paths
(with or without a drive letter) are supported.</p>
<p>Working directory is created at
<code>C:\Users\MyLogin\AppData\Local\rclone\bisync</code>.</p>
<p>Note that bisync output may show a mix of forward <code>/</code> and
back <code>\</code> slashes.</p>
<p>Be careful of case independent directory and file naming on Windows
vs. case dependent Linux</p>
<h2 id="filtering">Filtering</h2>
<p>See <a href="https://rclone.org/filtering/">filtering
documentation</a> for how filter rules are written and interpreted.</p>
<p>Bisync's <a href="#filters-file"><code>--filters-file</code></a> flag
slightly extends the rclone's <a
href="https://rclone.org/filtering/#filter-from-read-filtering-patterns-from-a-file">--filter-from</a>
filtering mechanism. For a given bisync run you may provide <em>only
one</em> <code>--filters-file</code>. The <code>--include*</code>,
<code>--exclude*</code>, and <code>--filter</code> flags are also
supported.</p>
<h3 id="how-to-filter-directories">How to filter directories</h3>
<p>Filtering portions of the directory tree is a critical feature for
synching.</p>
<p>Examples of directory trees (always beneath the Path1/Path2 root
level) you may want to exclude from your sync: - Directory trees
containing only software build intermediate files. - Directory trees
containing application temporary files and data such as the Windows
<code>C:\Users\MyLogin\AppData\</code> tree. - Directory trees
containing files that are large, less important, or are getting thrashed
continuously by ongoing processes.</p>
<p>On the other hand, there may be only select directories that you
actually want to sync, and exclude all others. See the <a
href="#include-filters">Example include-style filters for Windows user
directories</a> below.</p>
<h3 id="filters-file-writing-guidelines">Filters file writing
guidelines</h3>
<ol type="1">
<li>Begin with excluding directory trees:
<ul>
<li>e.g. <code>- /AppData/</code></li>
<li><code>**</code> on the end is not necessary. Once a given directory
level is excluded then everything beneath it won't be looked at by
rclone.</li>
<li>Exclude such directories that are unneeded, are big, dynamically
thrashed, or where there may be access permission issues.</li>
<li>Excluding such dirs first will make rclone operations (much)
faster.</li>
<li>Specific files may also be excluded, as with the Dropbox exclusions
example below.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Decide if it's easier (or cleaner) to:
<ul>
<li>Include select directories and therefore <em>exclude everything
else</em> -- or --</li>
<li>Exclude select directories and therefore <em>include everything
else</em></li>
</ul></li>
<li>Include select directories:
<ul>
<li>Add lines like: <code>+ /Documents/PersonalFiles/**</code> to select
which directories to include in the sync.</li>
<li><code>**</code> on the end specifies to include the full depth of
the specified tree.</li>
<li>With Include-style filters, files at the Path1/Path2 root are not
included. They may be included with <code>+ /*</code>.</li>
<li>Place RCLONE_TEST files within these included directory trees. They
will only be looked for in these directory trees.</li>
<li>Finish by excluding everything else by adding <code>- **</code> at
the end of the filters file.</li>
<li>Disregard step 4.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Exclude select directories:
<ul>
<li>Add more lines like in step 1. For example:
<code>-/Desktop/tempfiles/</code>, or <code>- /testdir/</code>. Again, a
<code>**</code> on the end is not necessary.</li>
<li>Do <em>not</em> add a <code>- **</code> in the file. Without this
line, everything will be included that has not been explicitly
excluded.</li>
<li>Disregard step 3.</li>
</ul></li>
</ol>
<p>A few rules for the syntax of a filter file expanding on <a
href="https://rclone.org/filtering/">filtering documentation</a>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Lines may start with spaces and tabs - rclone strips leading
whitespace.</li>
<li>If the first non-whitespace character is a <code>#</code> then the
line is a comment and will be ignored.</li>
<li>Blank lines are ignored.</li>
<li>The first non-whitespace character on a filter line must be a
<code>+</code> or <code>-</code>.</li>
<li>Exactly 1 space is allowed between the <code>+/-</code> and the path
term.</li>
<li>Only forward slashes (<code>/</code>) are used in path terms, even
on Windows.</li>
<li>The rest of the line is taken as the path term. Trailing whitespace
is taken literally, and probably is an error.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="include-filters">Example include-style filters for Windows user
directories</h3>
<p>This Windows <em>include-style</em> example is based on the sync root
(Path1) set to <code>C:\Users\MyLogin</code>. The strategy is to select
specific directories to be synched with a network drive (Path2).</p>
<ul>
<li><code>- /AppData/</code> excludes an entire tree of Windows stored
stuff that need not be synched. In my case, AppData has &gt;11 GB of
stuff I don't care about, and there are some subdirectories beneath
AppData that are not accessible to my user login, resulting in bisync
critical aborts.</li>
<li>Windows creates cache files starting with both upper and lowercase
<code>NTUSER</code> at <code>C:\Users\MyLogin</code>. These files may be
dynamic, locked, and are generally <em>don't care</em>.</li>
<li>There are just a few directories with <em>my</em> data that I do
want synched, in the form of <code>+ /&lt;path&gt;</code>. By selecting
only the directory trees I want to avoid the dozen plus directories that
various apps make at <code>C:\Users\MyLogin\Documents</code>.</li>
<li>Include files in the root of the sync point,
<code>C:\Users\MyLogin</code>, by adding the <code>+ /*</code>
line.</li>
<li>This is an Include-style filters file, therefore it ends with
<code>- **</code> which excludes everything not explicitly
included.</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>- /AppData/
- NTUSER*
- ntuser*
+ /Documents/Family/**
+ /Documents/Sketchup/**
+ /Documents/Microcapture_Photo/**
+ /Documents/Microcapture_Video/**
+ /Desktop/**
+ /Pictures/**
+ /*
- **</code></pre>
<p>Note also that Windows implements several "library" links such as
<code>C:\Users\MyLogin\My Documents\My Music</code> pointing to
<code>C:\Users\MyLogin\Music</code>. rclone sees these as links, so you
must add <code>--links</code> to the bisync command line if you which to
follow these links. I find that I get permission errors in trying to
follow the links, so I don't include the rclone <code>--links</code>
flag, but then you get lots of <code>Can't follow symlink…</code> noise
from rclone about not following the links. This noise can be quashed by
adding <code>--quiet</code> to the bisync command line.</p>
<h2 id="exclude-filters">Example exclude-style filters files for use
with Dropbox</h2>
<ul>
<li>Dropbox disallows synching the listed temporary and
configuration/data files. The <code>- &lt;filename&gt;</code> filters
exclude these files where ever they may occur in the sync tree. Consider
adding similar exclusions for file types you don't need to sync, such as
core dump and software build files.</li>
<li>bisync testing creates <code>/testdir/</code> at the top level of
the sync tree, and usually deletes the tree after the test. If a normal
sync should run while the <code>/testdir/</code> tree exists the
<code>--check-access</code> phase may fail due to unbalanced RCLONE_TEST
files. The <code>- /testdir/</code> filter blocks this tree from being
synched. You don't need this exclusion if you are not doing bisync
development testing.</li>
<li>Everything else beneath the Path1/Path2 root will be synched.</li>
<li>RCLONE_TEST files may be placed anywhere within the tree, including
the root.</li>
</ul>

<h3 id="how---check-access-handles-filters">How --check-access handles

<p>At the start of a bisync run, listings are gathered for Path1 and
Path2 while using the user's <code>--filters-file</code>. During the
check access phase, bisync scans these listings for
<code>RCLONE_TEST</code> files. Any <code>RCLONE_TEST</code> files
hidden by the <code>--filters-file</code> are <em>not</em> in the
listings and thus not checked during the check access phase.</p>

<h3 id="dry-run-oddity">Dry run oddity</h3>
<p>The <code>--dry-run</code> messages may indicate that it would try to
delete some files. For example, if a file is new on Path2 and does not
exist on Path1 then it would normally be copied to Path1, but with
<code>--dry-run</code> enabled those copies don't happen, which leads to
the attempted delete on Path2, blocked again by --dry-run:
<code>... Not deleting as --dry-run</code>.</p>
<p>This whole confusing situation is an artifact of the
<code>--dry-run</code> flag. Scrutinize the proposed deletes carefully,
and if the files would have been copied to Path1 then the threatened
deletes on Path2 may be disregarded.</p>
<h3 id="retries">Retries</h3>
<p>Rclone has built-in retries. If you run with <code>--verbose</code>
you'll see error and retry messages such as shown below. This is usually
not a bug. If at the end of the run, you see
<code>Bisync successful</code> and not
<code>Bisync critical error</code> or <code>Bisync aborted</code> then
the run was successful, and you can ignore the error messages.</p>
<p>The following run shows an intermittent fail. Lines <em>5</em> and
_6- are low-level messages. Line <em>6</em> is a bubbled-up
<em>warning</em> message, conveying the error. Rclone normally retries
failing commands, so there may be numerous such messages in the log.</p>
<p>Since there are no final error/warning messages on line <em>7</em>,
rclone has recovered from failure after a retry, and the overall sync
was successful.</p>

generating complaints. If the error is
<code>This file has been identified as malware or spam and cannot be downloaded</code>,
consider using the flag <a
href="https://rclone.org/drive/#drive-acknowledge-abuse">--drive-acknowledge-abuse</a>.</p>
<h3 id="gdocs">Google Docs (and other files of unknown size)</h3>
<p>As of <code>v1.66</code>, <a
href="https://rclone.org/drive/#import-export-of-google-documents">Google
Docs</a> (including Google Sheets, Slides, etc.) are now supported in
bisync, subject to the same options, defaults, and limitations as in
<code>rclone sync</code>. When bisyncing drive with non-drive backends,
the drive -&gt; non-drive direction is controlled by <a
href="https://rclone.org/drive/#drive-export-formats"><code>--drive-export-formats</code></a>
(default <code>"docx,xlsx,pptx,svg"</code>) and the non-drive -&gt;
drive direction is controlled by <a
href="https://rclone.org/drive/#drive-import-formats"><code>--drive-import-formats</code></a>
(default none.)</p>
<p>For example, with the default export/import formats, a Google Sheet
on the drive side will be synced to an <code>.xlsx</code> file on the
non-drive side. In the reverse direction, <code>.xlsx</code> files with
filenames that match an existing Google Sheet will be synced to that
Google Sheet, while <code>.xlsx</code> files that do NOT match an
existing Google Sheet will be copied to drive as normal
<code>.xlsx</code> files (without conversion to Sheets, although the
Google Drive web browser UI may still give you the option to open it as
one.)</p>
<p>If <code>--drive-import-formats</code> is set (it's not, by default),
then all of the specified formats will be converted to Google Docs, if
there is no existing Google Doc with a matching name. Caution: such
conversion can be quite lossy, and in most cases it's probably not what
you want!</p>
<p>To bisync Google Docs as URL shortcut links (in a manner similar to
"Drive for Desktop"), use: <code>--drive-export-formats url</code> (or
<a
href="https://rclone.org/drive/#exportformats:~:text=available%20Google%20Documents.-,Extension,macOS,-Standard%20options">alternatives</a>.)</p>
<p>Note that these link files cannot be edited on the non-drive side --
you will get errors if you try to sync an edited link file back to
drive. They CAN be deleted (it will result in deleting the corresponding
Google Doc.) If you create a <code>.url</code> file on the non-drive
side that does not match an existing Google Doc, bisyncing it will just
result in copying the literal <code>.url</code> file over to drive (no
Google Doc will be created.) So, as a general rule of thumb, think of
them as read-only placeholders on the non-drive side, and make all your
changes on the drive side.</p>
<p>Likewise, even with other export-formats, it is best to only
move/rename Google Docs on the drive side. This is because otherwise,
bisync will interpret this as a file deleted and another created, and
accordingly, it will delete the Google Doc and create a new file at the
new path. (Whether or not that new file is a Google Doc depends on
<code>--drive-import-formats</code>.)</p>
<p>Lastly, take note that all Google Docs on the drive side have a size
of <code>-1</code> and no checksum. Therefore, they cannot be reliably
synced with the <code>--checksum</code> or <code>--size-only</code>
flags. (To be exact: they will still get created/deleted, and bisync's
delta engine will notice changes and queue them for syncing, but the
underlying sync function will consider them identical and skip them.) To
work around this, use the default (modtime and size) instead of
<code>--checksum</code> or <code>--size-only</code>.</p>
<p>To ignore Google Docs entirely, use <a
href="https://rclone.org/drive/#drive-skip-gdocs"><code>--drive-skip-gdocs</code></a>.</p>
<h2 id="usage-examples">Usage examples</h2>
<h3 id="cron">Cron</h3>
<p>Rclone does not yet have a built-in capability to monitor the local
file system for changes and must be blindly run periodically. On Windows
this can be done using a <em>Task Scheduler</em>, on Linux you can use
<em>Cron</em> which is described below.</p>
<p>The 1st example runs a sync every 5 minutes between a local directory
and an OwnCloud server, with output logged to a runlog file:</p>
<pre><code># Minute (0-59)
# Hour (0-23)
# Day of Month (1-31)
# Month (1-12 or Jan-Dec)
# Day of Week (0-6 or Sun-Sat)
# Command
*/5 * * * * /path/to/rclone bisync /local/files MyCloud: --check-access --filters-file /path/to/bysync-filters.txt --log-file /path/to//bisync.log</code></pre>
<p>See <a
href="https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/crontab.1p.html#INPUT_FILES">crontab
syntax</a> for the details of crontab time interval expressions.</p>
<p>If you run <code>rclone bisync</code> as a cron job, redirect
stdout/stderr to a file. The 2nd example runs a sync to Dropbox every
hour and logs all stdout (via the <code>&gt;&gt;</code>) and stderr (via
<code>2&gt;&amp;1</code>) to a log file.</p>
<pre><code>0 * * * * /path/to/rclone bisync /path/to/local/dropbox Dropbox: --check-access --filters-file /home/user/filters.txt &gt;&gt; /path/to/logs/dropbox-run.log 2&gt;&amp;1</code></pre>
<h3 id="sharing-an-encrypted-folder-tree-between-hosts">Sharing an

<p>bisync can keep a local folder in sync with a cloud service, but what
if you have some highly sensitive files to be synched?</p>
<p>Usage of a cloud service is for exchanging both routine and sensitive
personal files between one's home network, one's personal notebook when
on the road, and with one's work computer. The routine data is not
sensitive. For the sensitive data, configure an rclone <a
href="https://rclone.org/crypt/">crypt remote</a> to point to a
subdirectory within the local disk tree that is bisync'd to Dropbox, and
then set up an bisync for this local crypt directory to a directory
outside of the main sync tree.</p>

<h2 id="testing">Testing</h2>
<p>You should read this section only if you are developing for rclone.
You need to have rclone source code locally to work with bisync
tests.</p>
<p>Bisync has a dedicated test framework implemented in the
<code>bisync_test.go</code> file located in the rclone source tree. The
test suite is based on the <code>go test</code> command. Series of tests
are stored in subdirectories below the <code>cmd/bisync/testdata</code>
directory. Individual tests can be invoked by their directory name, e.g.
<code>go test . -case basic -remote local -remote2 gdrive: -v</code></p>
<p>Tests will make a temporary folder on remote and purge it afterwards.
If during test run there are intermittent errors and rclone retries,
these errors will be captured and flagged as invalid MISCOMPAREs.
Rerunning the test will let it pass. Consider such failures as
noise.</p>
<h3 id="test-command-syntax">Test command syntax</h3>
<pre><code>usage: go test ./cmd/bisync [options...]
Options:
-case NAME Name(s) of the test case(s) to run. Multiple names should
be separated by commas. You can remove the `test_` prefix
and replace `_` by `-` in test name for convenience.
If not `all`, the name(s) should map to a directory under
`./cmd/bisync/testdata`.
Use `all` to run all tests (default: all)
-remote PATH1 `local` or name of cloud service with `:` (default: local)
-remote2 PATH2 `local` or name of cloud service with `:` (default: local)
-no-compare Disable comparing test results with the golden directory
(default: compare)
-no-cleanup Disable cleanup of Path1 and Path2 testdirs.
Useful for troubleshooting. (default: cleanup)
-golden Store results in the golden directory (default: false)
This flag can be used with multiple tests.
-debug Print debug messages
-stop-at NUM Stop test after given step number. (default: run to the end)
Implies `-no-compare` and `-no-cleanup`, if the test really
ends prematurely. Only meaningful for a single test case.
-refresh-times Force refreshing the target modtime, useful for Dropbox
(default: false)
-verbose Run tests verbosely</code></pre>
<p>Note: unlike rclone flags which must be prefixed by double dash
(<code>--</code>), the test command flags can be equally prefixed by a
single <code>-</code> or double dash.</p>
<h3 id="running-tests">Running tests</h3>
<ul>
<li><code>go test . -case basic -remote local -remote2 local</code> runs
the <code>test_basic</code> test case using only the local filesystem,
synching one local directory with another local directory. Test script
output is to the console, while commands within scenario.txt have their
output sent to the <code>.../workdir/test.log</code> file, which is
finally compared to the golden copy.</li>
<li>The first argument after <code>go test</code> should be a relative
name of the directory containing bisync source code. If you run tests
right from there, the argument will be <code>.</code> (current
directory) as in most examples below. If you run bisync tests from the
rclone source directory, the command should be
<code>go test ./cmd/bisync ...</code>.</li>
<li>The test engine will mangle rclone output to ensure comparability
with golden listings and logs.</li>
<li>Test scenarios are located in <code>./cmd/bisync/testdata</code>.
The test <code>-case</code> argument should match the full name of a
subdirectory under that directory. Every test subdirectory name on disk
must start with <code>test_</code>, this prefix can be omitted on
command line for brevity. Also, underscores in the name can be replaced
by dashes for convenience.</li>
<li><code>go test . -remote local -remote2 local -case all</code> runs
all tests.</li>
<li>Path1 and Path2 may either be the keyword <code>local</code> or may
be names of configured cloud services.
<code>go test . -remote gdrive: -remote2 dropbox: -case basic</code>
will run the test between these two services, without transferring any
files to the local filesystem.</li>
<li>Test run stdout and stderr console output may be directed to a file,
e.g.
<code>go test . -remote gdrive: -remote2 local -case all &gt; runlog.txt 2&gt;&amp;1</code></li>
</ul>
<h3 id="test-execution-flow">Test execution flow</h3>
<ol type="1">
<li>The base setup in the <code>initial</code> directory of the testcase
is applied on the Path1 and Path2 filesystems (via rclone copy the
initial directory to Path1, then rclone sync Path1 to Path2).</li>
<li>The commands in the scenario.txt file are applied, with output
directed to the <code>test.log</code> file in the test working
directory. Typically, the first actual command in the
<code>scenario.txt</code> file is to do a <code>--resync</code>, which
establishes the baseline <code>{...}.path1.lst</code> and
<code>{...}.path2.lst</code> files in the test working directory
(<code>.../workdir/</code> relative to the temporary test directory).
Various commands and listing snapshots are done within the test.</li>
<li>Finally, the contents of the test working directory are compared to
the contents of the testcase's golden directory.</li>
</ol>
<h3 id="notes-about-testing">Notes about testing</h3>
<ul>
<li>Test cases are in individual directories beneath
<code>./cmd/bisync/testdata</code>. A command line reference to a test
is understood to reference a directory beneath <code>testdata</code>.
For example,
<code>go test ./cmd/bisync -case dry-run -remote gdrive: -remote2 local</code>
refers to the test case in
<code>./cmd/bisync/testdata/test_dry_run</code>.</li>
<li>The test working directory is located at <code>.../workdir</code>
relative to a temporary test directory, usually under <code>/tmp</code>
on Linux.</li>
<li>The local test sync tree is created at a temporary directory named
like <code>bisync.XXX</code> under system temporary directory.</li>
<li>The remote test sync tree is located at a temporary directory under
<code>&lt;remote:&gt;/bisync.XXX/</code>.</li>
<li><code>path1</code> and/or <code>path2</code> subdirectories are
created in a temporary directory under the respective local or cloud
test remote.</li>
<li>By default, the Path1 and Path2 test dirs and workdir will be
deleted after each test run. The <code>-no-cleanup</code> flag disables
purging these directories when validating and debugging a given test.
These directories will be flushed before running another test,
independent of the <code>-no-cleanup</code> usage.</li>
<li>You will likely want to add <code>- /testdir/</code> to your normal
bisync <code>--filters-file</code> so that normal syncs do not attempt
to sync the test temporary directories, which may have
<code>RCLONE_TEST</code> miscompares in some testcases which would
otherwise trip the <code>--check-access</code> system. The
<code>--check-access</code> mechanism is hard-coded to ignore
<code>RCLONE_TEST</code> files beneath <code>bisync/testdata</code>, so
the test cases may reside on the synched tree even if there are check
file mismatches in the test tree.</li>
<li>Some Dropbox tests can fail, notably printing the following message:
<code>src and dst identical but can't set mod time without deleting and re-uploading</code>
This is expected and happens due to the way Dropbox handles modification
times. You should use the <code>-refresh-times</code> test flag to make
up for this.</li>
<li>If Dropbox tests hit request limit for you and print error message
<code>too_many_requests/...: Too many requests or write operations.</code>
then follow the <a
href="https://rclone.org/dropbox/#get-your-own-dropbox-app-id">Dropbox
App ID instructions</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="updating-golden-results">Updating golden results</h3>
<p>Sometimes even a slight change in the bisync source can cause little
changes spread around many log files. Updating them manually would be a
nightmare.</p>
<p>The <code>-golden</code> flag will store the <code>test.log</code>
and <code>*.lst</code> listings from each test case into respective
golden directories. Golden results will automatically contain generic
strings instead of local or cloud paths which means that they should
match when run with a different cloud service.</p>
<p>Your normal workflow might be as follows: 1. Git-clone the rclone
sources locally 2. Modify bisync source and check that it builds 3. Run
the whole test suite <code>go test ./cmd/bisync -remote local</code> 4.
If some tests show log difference, recheck them individually, e.g.:
<code>go test ./cmd/bisync -remote local -case basic</code> 5. If you
are convinced with the difference, goldenize all tests at once:
<code>go test ./cmd/bisync -remote local -golden</code> 6. Use word
diff: <code>git diff --word-diff ./cmd/bisync/testdata/</code>. Please
note that normal line-level diff is generally useless here. 7. Check the
difference <em>carefully</em>! 8. Commit the change
(<code>git commit</code>) <em>only</em> if you are sure. If unsure, save
your code changes then wipe the log diffs from git:
<code>git reset [--hard]</code>.</p>
<h3 id="structure-of-test-scenarios">Structure of test scenarios</h3>
<ul>
<li><code>&lt;testname&gt;/initial/</code> contains a tree of files that
will be set as the initial condition on both Path1 and Path2
testdirs.</li>
<li><code>&lt;testname&gt;/modfiles/</code> contains files that will be
used to modify the Path1 and/or Path2 filesystems.</li>
<li><code>&lt;testname&gt;/golden/</code> contains the expected content
of the test working directory (<code>workdir</code>) at the completion
of the testcase.</li>
<li><code>&lt;testname&gt;/scenario.txt</code> contains the body of the
test, in the form of various commands to modify files, run bisync, and
snapshot listings. Output from these commands is captured to
<code>.../workdir/test.log</code> for comparison to the golden
files.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="supported-test-commands">Supported test commands</h3>
<ul>
<li><code>test &lt;some message&gt;</code> Print the line to the console

<li><code>move-listings &lt;prefix&gt;</code> Similar to
<code>copy-listings</code> but removes the source</li>
<li><code>purge-children &lt;dir&gt;</code> This will delete all child
files and purge all child subdirs under given directory but keep the
parent intact. This behavior is important for tests with Google Drive
because removing and re-creating the parent would change its ID.</li>
<li><code>delete-file &lt;file&gt;</code> Delete a single file.</li>
<li><code>delete-glob &lt;dir&gt; &lt;pattern&gt;</code> Delete a group
of files located one level deep in the given directory with names
matching a given glob pattern.</li>
<li><code>touch-glob YYYY-MM-DD &lt;dir&gt; &lt;pattern&gt;</code>
Change modification time on a group of files.</li>
<li><code>touch-copy YYYY-MM-DD &lt;source-file&gt; &lt;dest-dir&gt;</code>
Change file modification time then copy it to destination.</li>
<li><code>copy-file &lt;source-file&gt; &lt;dest-dir&gt;</code> Copy a
single file to given directory.</li>
<li><code>copy-as &lt;source-file&gt; &lt;dest-file&gt;</code> Similar

<h3 id="supported-substitution-terms">Supported substitution terms</h3>
<ul>
<li><code>{testdir/}</code> - the root dir of the testcase</li>
<li><code>{datadir/}</code> - the <code>modfiles</code> dir under the

<li><code>{workdir/}</code> - the temporary test working directory</li>
<li><code>{path1/}</code> - the root of the Path1 test directory

<p>This next data is from a user's application. They had ~400GB of data
over 1.96 million files being sync'ed between a Windows local disk and
some remote cloud. The file full path length was on average 35
characters (which factors into load time and RAM required).</p>
<ul>
<li>Loading the prior listing into memory (1.96 million files, listing
file size 140 MB) took ~30 sec and occupied about 1 GB of RAM.</li>
<li>Getting a fresh listing of the local file system (producing the 140
MB output file) took about XXX sec.</li>
<li>Getting a fresh listing of the remote file system (producing the 140
MB output file) took about XXX sec. The network download speed was
measured at XXX Mb/s.</li>
<li>Once the prior and current Path1 and Path2 listings were loaded (a
total of four to be loaded, two at a time), determining the deltas was
pretty quick (a few seconds for this test case), and the transfer time
for any files to be copied was dominated by the network bandwidth.</li>

keys matches: <code>FBF737ECE9F8AB18604BD2AC93935E02FF3B54FA</code> as
this key is used for signing.</p>
<p>We recommend that you cross-check the fingerprint shown above through
the domains listed below. By cross-checking the integrity of the

<h2 id="how-to-verify-the-release">How to verify the release</h2>
<p>In the release directory you will see the release files and some
files called <code>MD5SUMS</code>, <code>SHA1SUMS</code> and

<h3 id="download-the-files">Download the files</h3>
<p>The first step is to download the binary and SUMs file and verify
that the SUMs you have downloaded match. Here we download
<code>rclone-v1.63.1-windows-amd64.zip</code> - choose the binary (or
binaries) appropriate to your architecture. We've also chosen the
<code>SHA256SUMS</code> as these are the most secure. You could verify
the other types of hash also for extra security.
<code>rclone selfupdate</code> verifies just the
<code>SHA256SUMS</code>.</p>
<pre><code>$ mkdir /tmp/check
$ cd /tmp/check
$ rclone copy --http-url https://downloads.rclone.org/v1.63.1 :http:SHA256SUMS .

<h2 id="limitations-5">Limitations</h2>
<p><code>rclone about</code> is not supported by the 1Fichier backend.
Backends without this capability cannot determine free space for an
rclone mount or use policy <code>mfs</code> (most free space) as a
member of an rclone union remote.</p>
<p>See <a href="https://rclone.org/overview/#optional-features">List of
backends that do not support rclone about</a> and <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_about/">rclone about</a></p>
<h1 id="alias">Alias</h1>
<p>The <code>alias</code> remote provides a new name for another
remote.</p>
<p>Paths may be as deep as required or a local path, e.g.
<code>remote:directory/subdirectory</code> or
<code>/directory/subdirectory</code>.</p>
<p>During the initial setup with <code>rclone config</code> you will
specify the target remote. The target remote can either be a local path
or another remote.</p>
<p>Subfolders can be used in target remote. Assume an alias remote named
<code>backup</code> with the target <code>mydrive:private/backup</code>.
Invoking <code>rclone mkdir backup:desktop</code> is exactly the same as
invoking <code>rclone mkdir mydrive:private/backup/desktop</code>.</p>
<p>There will be no special handling of paths containing <code>..</code>
segments. Invoking <code>rclone mkdir backup:../desktop</code> is
exactly the same as invoking
<code>rclone mkdir mydrive:private/backup/../desktop</code>. The empty
path is not allowed as a remote. To alias the current directory use
<code>.</code> instead.</p>
<p>The target remote can also be a <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#connection-strings">connection
string</a>. This can be used to modify the config of a remote for
different uses, e.g. the alias <code>myDriveTrash</code> with the target
remote <code>myDrive,trashed_only:</code> can be used to only show the
trashed files in <code>myDrive</code>.</p>
<h2 id="configuration-1">Configuration</h2>
<p>Here is an example of how to make an alias called <code>remote</code>

<h3 id="modification-times-and-hashes-1">Modification times and
hashes</h3>
<h4 id="modification-times-1">Modification times</h4>
<p>The modified time is stored as metadata on the object as
<code>X-Amz-Meta-Mtime</code> as floating point since the epoch,
accurate to 1 ns.</p>
<p>If the modification time needs to be updated rclone will attempt to
perform a server side copy to update the modification if the object can
be copied in a single part. In the case the object is larger than 5Gb or
is in Glacier or Glacier Deep Archive storage the object will be
uploaded rather than copied.</p>
<p>Note that reading this from the object takes an additional
<code>HEAD</code> request as the metadata isn't returned in object
listings.</p>
<h4 id="hashes">Hashes</h4>
<p>For small objects which weren't uploaded as multipart uploads
(objects sized below <code>--s3-upload-cutoff</code> if uploaded with
rclone) rclone uses the <code>ETag:</code> header as an MD5
checksum.</p>
<p>However for objects which were uploaded as multipart uploads or with
server side encryption (SSE-AWS or SSE-C) the <code>ETag</code> header
is no longer the MD5 sum of the data, so rclone adds an additional piece
of metadata <code>X-Amz-Meta-Md5chksum</code> which is a base64 encoded
MD5 hash (in the same format as is required for
<code>Content-MD5</code>). You can use base64 -d and hexdump to check
this value manually:</p>
<pre><code>echo &#39;VWTGdNx3LyXQDfA0e2Edxw==&#39; | base64 -d | hexdump</code></pre>
<p>or you can use <code>rclone check</code> to verify the hashes are
OK.</p>
<p>For large objects, calculating this hash can take some time so the
addition of this hash can be disabled with
<code>--s3-disable-checksum</code>. This will mean that these objects do
not have an MD5 checksum.</p>
<p>Note that reading this from the object takes an additional
<code>HEAD</code> request as the metadata isn't returned in object
listings.</p>
<h3 id="reducing-costs">Reducing costs</h3>
<h4 id="avoiding-head-requests-to-read-the-modification-time">Avoiding
HEAD requests to read the modification time</h4>
<p>By default, rclone will use the modification time of objects stored
in S3 for syncing. This is stored in object metadata which unfortunately
takes an extra HEAD request to read which can be expensive (in time and
money).</p>
<p>The modification time is used by default for all operations that
require checking the time a file was last updated. It allows rclone to
treat the remote more like a true filesystem, but it is inefficient on
S3 because it requires an extra API call to retrieve the metadata.</p>
<p>The extra API calls can be avoided when syncing (using
<code>rclone sync</code> or <code>rclone copy</code>) in a few different
ways, each with its own tradeoffs.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>--size-only</code>
<ul>
<li>Only checks the size of files.</li>
<li>Uses no extra transactions.</li>
<li>If the file doesn't change size then rclone won't detect it has
changed.</li>
<li><code>rclone sync --size-only /path/to/source s3:bucket</code></li>
</ul></li>
<li><code>--checksum</code>
<ul>
<li>Checks the size and MD5 checksum of files.</li>
<li>Uses no extra transactions.</li>
<li>The most accurate detection of changes possible.</li>
<li>Will cause the source to read an MD5 checksum which, if it is a
local disk, will cause lots of disk activity.</li>
<li>If the source and destination are both S3 this is the
<strong>recommended</strong> flag to use for maximum efficiency.</li>
<li><code>rclone sync --checksum /path/to/source s3:bucket</code></li>
</ul></li>
<li><code>--update --use-server-modtime</code>
<ul>
<li>Uses no extra transactions.</li>
<li>Modification time becomes the time the object was uploaded.</li>
<li>For many operations this is sufficient to determine if it needs
uploading.</li>
<li>Using <code>--update</code> along with
<code>--use-server-modtime</code>, avoids the extra API call and uploads
files whose local modification time is newer than the time it was last
uploaded.</li>
<li>Files created with timestamps in the past will be missed by the
sync.</li>
<li><code>rclone sync --update --use-server-modtime /path/to/source s3:bucket</code></li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<p>These flags can and should be used in combination with
<code>--fast-list</code> - see below.</p>
<p>If using <code>rclone mount</code> or any command using the VFS (eg
<code>rclone serve</code>) commands then you might want to consider
using the VFS flag <code>--no-modtime</code> which will stop rclone
reading the modification time for every object. You could also use
<code>--use-server-modtime</code> if you are happy with the modification
times of the objects being the time of upload.</p>
<h4 id="avoiding-get-requests-to-read-directory-listings">Avoiding GET
requests to read directory listings</h4>
<p>Rclone's default directory traversal is to process each directory
individually. This takes one API call per directory. Using the
<code>--fast-list</code> flag will read all info about the objects into
memory first using a smaller number of API calls (one per 1000 objects).
See the <a href="https://rclone.org/docs/#fast-list">rclone docs</a> for
more details.</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync --fast-list --checksum /path/to/source s3:bucket</code></pre>
<p><code>--fast-list</code> trades off API transactions for memory use.
As a rough guide rclone uses 1k of memory per object stored, so using
<code>--fast-list</code> on a sync of a million objects will use roughly
1 GiB of RAM.</p>
<p>If you are only copying a small number of files into a big repository
then using <code>--no-traverse</code> is a good idea. This finds objects
directly instead of through directory listings. You can do a "top-up"
sync very cheaply by using <code>--max-age</code> and
<code>--no-traverse</code> to copy only recent files, eg</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy --max-age 24h --no-traverse /path/to/source s3:bucket</code></pre>
<p>You'd then do a full <code>rclone sync</code> less often.</p>
<p>Note that <code>--fast-list</code> isn't required in the top-up
sync.</p>
<h4 id="avoiding-head-requests-after-put">Avoiding HEAD requests after
PUT</h4>
<p>By default, rclone will HEAD every object it uploads. It does this to
check the object got uploaded correctly.</p>
<p>You can disable this with the <a href="#s3-no-head">--s3-no-head</a>
option - see there for more details.</p>
<p>Setting this flag increases the chance for undetected upload
failures.</p>
<h3 id="increasing-performance">Increasing performance</h3>
<h4 id="using-server-side-copy">Using server-side copy</h4>
<p>If you are copying objects between S3 buckets in the same region, you
should use server-side copy. This is much faster than downloading and
re-uploading the objects, as no data is transferred.</p>
<p>For rclone to use server-side copy, you must use the same remote for
the source and destination.</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy s3:source-bucket s3:destination-bucket</code></pre>
<p>When using server-side copy, the performance is limited by the rate
at which rclone issues API requests to S3. See below for how to increase
the number of API requests rclone makes.</p>
<h4 id="increasing-the-rate-of-api-requests">Increasing the rate of API
requests</h4>
<p>You can increase the rate of API requests to S3 by increasing the
parallelism using <code>--transfers</code> and <code>--checkers</code>
options.</p>
<p>Rclone uses a very conservative defaults for these settings, as not
all providers support high rates of requests. Depending on your
provider, you can increase significantly the number of transfers and
checkers.</p>
<p>For example, with AWS S3, if you can increase the number of checkers
to values like 200. If you are doing a server-side copy, you can also
increase the number of transfers to 200.</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync --transfers 200 --checkers 200 --checksum s3:source-bucket s3:destination-bucket</code></pre>
<p>You will need to experiment with these values to find the optimal
settings for your setup.</p>
<h3 id="versions">Versions</h3>
<p>When bucket versioning is enabled (this can be done with rclone with
the <a href="#versioning"><code>rclone backend versioning</code></a>
command) when rclone uploads a new version of a file it creates a <a
href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/Versioning.html">new
version of it</a> Likewise when you delete a file, the old version will
be marked hidden and still be available.</p>
<p>Old versions of files, where available, are visible using the <a
href="#s3-versions"><code>--s3-versions</code></a> flag.</p>
<p>It is also possible to view a bucket as it was at a certain point in
time, using the <a
href="#s3-version-at"><code>--s3-version-at</code></a> flag. This will
show the file versions as they were at that time, showing files that
have been deleted afterwards, and hiding files that were created
since.</p>
<p>If you wish to remove all the old versions then you can use the <a
href="#cleanup-hidden"><code>rclone backend cleanup-hidden remote:bucket</code></a>
command which will delete all the old hidden versions of files, leaving
the current ones intact. You can also supply a path and only old
versions under that path will be deleted, e.g.
<code>rclone backend cleanup-hidden remote:bucket/path/to/stuff</code>.</p>
<p>When you <code>purge</code> a bucket, the current and the old
versions will be deleted then the bucket will be deleted.</p>
<p>However <code>delete</code> will cause the current versions of the
files to become hidden old versions.</p>
<p>Here is a session showing the listing and retrieval of an old version
followed by a <code>cleanup</code> of the old versions.</p>
<p>Show current version and all the versions with
<code>--s3-versions</code> flag.</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone -q ls s3:cleanup-test
9 one.txt
$ rclone -q --s3-versions ls s3:cleanup-test
9 one.txt
8 one-v2016-07-04-141032-000.txt
16 one-v2016-07-04-141003-000.txt
15 one-v2016-07-02-155621-000.txt</code></pre>
<p>Retrieve an old version</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone -q --s3-versions copy s3:cleanup-test/one-v2016-07-04-141003-000.txt /tmp
$ ls -l /tmp/one-v2016-07-04-141003-000.txt
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ncw ncw 16 Jul 2 17:46 /tmp/one-v2016-07-04-141003-000.txt</code></pre>
<p>Clean up all the old versions and show that they've gone.</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone -q backend cleanup-hidden s3:cleanup-test
$ rclone -q ls s3:cleanup-test
9 one.txt
$ rclone -q --s3-versions ls s3:cleanup-test
9 one.txt</code></pre>
<h4 id="versions-naming-caveat">Versions naming caveat</h4>
<p>When using <code>--s3-versions</code> flag rclone is relying on the
file name to work out whether the objects are versions or not. Versions'
names are created by inserting timestamp between file name and its
extension.</p>
<pre><code> 9 file.txt
8 file-v2023-07-17-161032-000.txt
16 file-v2023-06-15-141003-000.txt</code></pre>
<p>If there are real files present with the same names as versions, then
behaviour of <code>--s3-versions</code> can be unpredictable.</p>
<h3 id="cleanup-1">Cleanup</h3>
<p>If you run <code>rclone cleanup s3:bucket</code> then it will remove
all pending multipart uploads older than 24 hours. You can use the
<code>--interactive</code>/<code>i</code> or <code>--dry-run</code> flag
to see exactly what it will do. If you want more control over the expiry
date then run
<code>rclone backend cleanup s3:bucket -o max-age=1h</code> to expire
all uploads older than one hour. You can use
<code>rclone backend list-multipart-uploads s3:bucket</code> to see the
pending multipart uploads.</p>
<h3 id="restricted-filename-characters-1">Restricted filename
characters</h3>
<p>S3 allows any valid UTF-8 string as a key.</p>
<p>Invalid UTF-8 bytes will be <a
href="https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8">replaced</a>, as they
can't be used in XML.</p>
<p>The following characters are replaced since these are problematic
when dealing with the REST API:</p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr class="header">

<tr class="even">

<td style="text-align: center;">0x2F</td>
<td style="text-align: center;">/</td>

</table>
<p>The encoding will also encode these file names as they don't seem to
work with the SDK properly:</p>

</tbody>
</table>
<h3 id="multipart-uploads">Multipart uploads</h3>
<p>rclone supports multipart uploads with S3 which means that it can
upload files bigger than 5 GiB.</p>
<p>Note that files uploaded <em>both</em> with multipart upload
<em>and</em> through crypt remotes do not have MD5 sums.</p>
<p>rclone switches from single part uploads to multipart uploads at the
point specified by <code>--s3-upload-cutoff</code>. This can be a
maximum of 5 GiB and a minimum of 0 (ie always upload multipart
files).</p>
<p>The chunk sizes used in the multipart upload are specified by
<code>--s3-chunk-size</code> and the number of chunks uploaded
concurrently is specified by <code>--s3-upload-concurrency</code>.</p>
<p>Multipart uploads will use <code>--transfers</code> *
<code>--s3-upload-concurrency</code> * <code>--s3-chunk-size</code>
extra memory. Single part uploads to not use extra memory.</p>
<p>Single part transfers can be faster than multipart transfers or
slower depending on your latency from S3 - the more latency, the more
likely single part transfers will be faster.</p>
<p>Increasing <code>--s3-upload-concurrency</code> will increase
throughput (8 would be a sensible value) and increasing
<code>--s3-chunk-size</code> also increases throughput (16M would be
sensible). Increasing either of these will use more memory. The default
values are high enough to gain most of the possible performance without
using too much memory.</p>
<h3 id="buckets-and-regions">Buckets and Regions</h3>
<p>With Amazon S3 you can list buckets (<code>rclone lsd</code>) using
any region, but you can only access the content of a bucket from the
region it was created in. If you attempt to access a bucket from the
wrong region, you will get an error,
<code>incorrect region, the bucket is not in 'XXX' region</code>.</p>
<h3 id="authentication-5">Authentication</h3>
<p>There are a number of ways to supply <code>rclone</code> with a set
of AWS credentials, with and without using the environment.</p>
<p>The different authentication methods are tried in this order:</p>
<ul>
<li>Directly in the rclone configuration file
(<code>env_auth = false</code> in the config file):
<ul>
<li><code>access_key_id</code> and <code>secret_access_key</code> are
required.</li>
<li><code>session_token</code> can be optionally set when using AWS
STS.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Runtime configuration (<code>env_auth = true</code> in the config
file):
<ul>
<li>Export the following environment variables before running
<code>rclone</code>:
<ul>
<li>Access Key ID: <code>AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID</code> or
<code>AWS_ACCESS_KEY</code></li>
<li>Secret Access Key: <code>AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY</code> or
<code>AWS_SECRET_KEY</code></li>
<li>Session Token: <code>AWS_SESSION_TOKEN</code> (optional)</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Or, use a <a
href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-configure-files.html">named
profile</a>:
<ul>
<li>Profile files are standard files used by AWS CLI tools</li>
<li>By default it will use the profile in your home directory (e.g.
<code>~/.aws/credentials</code> on unix based systems) file and the
"default" profile, to change set these environment variables or config
keys:
<ul>
<li><code>AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE</code> to control which file or
the <code>shared_credentials_file</code> config key.</li>
<li><code>AWS_PROFILE</code> to control which profile to use or the
<code>profile</code> config key.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
<li>Or, run <code>rclone</code> in an ECS task with an IAM role (AWS
only).</li>
<li>Or, run <code>rclone</code> on an EC2 instance with an IAM role (AWS
only).</li>
<li>Or, run <code>rclone</code> in an EKS pod with an IAM role that is
associated with a service account (AWS only).</li>
<li>Or, use <a
href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdkref/latest/guide/feature-process-credentials.html">process
credentials</a> to read config from an external program.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<p>With <code>env_auth = true</code> rclone (which uses the SDK for Go
v2) should support <a
href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdkref/latest/guide/standardized-credentials.html">all
authentication methods</a> that the <code>aws</code> CLI tool does and
the other AWS SDKs.</p>
<p>If none of these option actually end up providing <code>rclone</code>
with AWS credentials then S3 interaction will be non-authenticated (see
the <a href="#anonymous-access">anonymous access</a> section for more
info).</p>
<h3 id="s3-permissions">S3 Permissions</h3>
<p>When using the <code>sync</code> subcommand of <code>rclone</code>
the following minimum permissions are required to be available on the
bucket being written to:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>ListBucket</code></li>
<li><code>DeleteObject</code></li>
<li><code>GetObject</code></li>
<li><code>PutObject</code></li>
<li><code>PutObjectACL</code></li>
<li><code>CreateBucket</code> (unless using <a
href="#s3-no-check-bucket">s3-no-check-bucket</a>)</li>
</ul>
<p>When using the <code>lsd</code> subcommand, the
<code>ListAllMyBuckets</code> permission is required.</p>
<p>Example policy:</p>
<pre><code>{
&quot;Version&quot;: &quot;2012-10-17&quot;,

<p>Notes on above:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>This is a policy that can be used when creating bucket. It assumes
that <code>USER_NAME</code> has been created.</li>
<li>The Resource entry must include both resource ARNs, as one implies

<li>When using <a href="#s3-no-check-bucket">s3-no-check-bucket</a> and
the bucket already exsits, the <code>"arn:aws:s3:::BUCKET_NAME"</code>
doesn't have to be included.</li>

<h3 id="key-management-system-kms">Key Management System (KMS)</h3>
<p>If you are using server-side encryption with KMS then you must make
sure rclone is configured with
<code>server_side_encryption = aws:kms</code> otherwise you will find
you can't transfer small objects - these will create checksum
errors.</p>
<h3 id="glacier-and-glacier-deep-archive">Glacier and Glacier Deep
Archive</h3>
<p>You can upload objects using the glacier storage class or transition
them to glacier using a <a
href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/user-guide/create-lifecycle.html">lifecycle
policy</a>. The bucket can still be synced or copied into normally, but
if rclone tries to access data from the glacier storage class you will
see an error like below.</p>
<pre><code>2017/09/11 19:07:43 Failed to sync: failed to open source object: Object in GLACIER, restore first: path/to/file</code></pre>
<p>In this case you need to <a
href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/user-guide/restore-archived-objects.html">restore</a>
the object(s) in question before using rclone.</p>
<p>Note that rclone only speaks the S3 API it does not speak the Glacier
Vault API, so rclone cannot directly access Glacier Vaults.</p>
<h3 id="object-lock-enabled-s3-bucket">Object-lock enabled S3
bucket</h3>
<p>According to AWS's <a
href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/object-lock-overview.html#object-lock-permission">documentation
on S3 Object Lock</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>If you configure a default retention period on a bucket, requests to
upload objects in such a bucket must include the Content-MD5 header.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>As mentioned in the <a
href="#modification-times-and-hashes">Modification times and hashes</a>
section, small files that are not uploaded as multipart, use a different
tag, causing the upload to fail. A simple solution is to set the
<code>--s3-upload-cutoff 0</code> and force all the files to be uploaded
as multipart.</p>

<p>If you are transferring large files over high-speed links and you
have enough memory, then increasing this will speed up the
transfers.</p>
<p>Rclone will automatically increase the chunk size when uploading a
large file of known size to stay below the 10,000 chunks limit.</p>
<p>Files of unknown size are uploaded with the configured chunk_size.
Since the default chunk size is 5 MiB and there can be at most 10,000
chunks, this means that by default the maximum size of a file you can
stream upload is 48 GiB. If you wish to stream upload larger files then
you will need to increase chunk_size.</p>
<p>Increasing the chunk size decreases the accuracy of the progress
statistics displayed with "-P" flag. Rclone treats chunk as sent when
it's buffered by the AWS SDK, when in fact it may still be uploading. A
bigger chunk size means a bigger AWS SDK buffer and progress reporting
more deviating from the truth.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: chunk_size</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_S3_CHUNK_SIZE</li>
<li>Type: SizeSuffix</li>
<li>Default: 5Mi</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="s3-max-upload-parts">--s3-max-upload-parts</h4>
<p>Maximum number of parts in a multipart upload.</p>
<p>This option defines the maximum number of multipart chunks to use
when doing a multipart upload.</p>
<p>This can be useful if a service does not support the AWS S3
specification of 10,000 chunks.</p>
<p>Rclone will automatically increase the chunk size when uploading a
large file of a known size to stay below this number of chunks
limit.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: max_upload_parts</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_S3_MAX_UPLOAD_PARTS</li>
<li>Type: int</li>
<li>Default: 10000</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="s3-copy-cutoff">--s3-copy-cutoff</h4>
<p>Cutoff for switching to multipart copy.</p>
<p>Any files larger than this that need to be server-side copied will be
copied in chunks of this size.</p>
<p>The minimum is 0 and the maximum is 5 GiB.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: copy_cutoff</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_S3_COPY_CUTOFF</li>
<li>Type: SizeSuffix</li>
<li>Default: 4.656Gi</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="s3-disable-checksum">--s3-disable-checksum</h4>
<p>Don't store MD5 checksum with object metadata.</p>
<p>Normally rclone will calculate the MD5 checksum of the input before
uploading it so it can add it to metadata on the object. This is great
for data integrity checking but can cause long delays for large files to
start uploading.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: disable_checksum</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_S3_DISABLE_CHECKSUM</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="s3-shared-credentials-file">--s3-shared-credentials-file</h4>
<p>Path to the shared credentials file.</p>
<p>If env_auth = true then rclone can use a shared credentials file.</p>
<p>If this variable is empty rclone will look for the
"AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE" env variable. If the env value is empty it
will default to the current user's home directory.</p>
<pre><code>Linux/OSX: &quot;$HOME/.aws/credentials&quot;
Windows: &quot;%USERPROFILE%\.aws\credentials&quot;</code></pre>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: shared_credentials_file</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_S3_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE</li>
<li>Type: string</li>
<li>Required: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="s3-profile">--s3-profile</h4>
<p>Profile to use in the shared credentials file.</p>
<p>If env_auth = true then rclone can use a shared credentials file.
This variable controls which profile is used in that file.</p>
<p>If empty it will default to the environment variable "AWS_PROFILE" or
"default" if that environment variable is also not set.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: profile</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_S3_PROFILE</li>
<li>Type: string</li>
<li>Required: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="s3-session-token">--s3-session-token</h4>

<li>Type: string</li>
<li>Required: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="s3-upload-concurrency">--s3-upload-concurrency</h4>
<p>Concurrency for multipart uploads and copies.</p>
<p>This is the number of chunks of the same file that are uploaded
concurrently for multipart uploads and copies.</p>
<p>If you are uploading small numbers of large files over high-speed
links and these uploads do not fully utilize your bandwidth, then
increasing this may help to speed up the transfers.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: upload_concurrency</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_S3_UPLOAD_CONCURRENCY</li>
<li>Type: int</li>
<li>Default: 4</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="s3-force-path-style">--s3-force-path-style</h4>
<p>If true use path style access if false use virtual hosted style.</p>
<p>If this is true (the default) then rclone will use path style access,
if false then rclone will use virtual path style. See <a
href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/UsingBucket.html#access-bucket-intro">the
AWS S3 docs</a> for more info.</p>
<p>Some providers (e.g. AWS, Aliyun OSS, Netease COS, or Tencent COS)
require this set to false - rclone will do this automatically based on
the provider setting.</p>
<p>Note that if your bucket isn't a valid DNS name, i.e. has '.' or '_'
in, you'll need to set this to true.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: force_path_style</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_S3_FORCE_PATH_STYLE</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: true</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="s3-v2-auth">--s3-v2-auth</h4>
<p>If true use v2 authentication.</p>
<p>If this is false (the default) then rclone will use v4
authentication. If it is set then rclone will use v2 authentication.</p>
<p>Use this only if v4 signatures don't work, e.g. pre Jewel/v10
CEPH.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: v2_auth</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_S3_V2_AUTH</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="s3-use-dual-stack">--s3-use-dual-stack</h4>
<p>If true use AWS S3 dual-stack endpoint (IPv6 support).</p>
<p>See <a

<h4 id="s3-use-accelerate-endpoint">--s3-use-accelerate-endpoint</h4>
<p>If true use the AWS S3 accelerated endpoint.</p>
<p>See: <a

</ul>
<h4 id="s3-leave-parts-on-error">--s3-leave-parts-on-error</h4>
<p>If true avoid calling abort upload on a failure, leaving all
successfully uploaded parts on S3 for manual recovery.</p>
<p>It should be set to true for resuming uploads across different
sessions.</p>
<p>WARNING: Storing parts of an incomplete multipart upload counts
towards space usage on S3 and will add additional costs if not cleaned
up.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: leave_parts_on_error</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_S3_LEAVE_PARTS_ON_ERROR</li>
<li>Provider: AWS</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="s3-list-chunk">--s3-list-chunk</h4>
<p>Size of listing chunk (response list for each ListObject S3
request).</p>
<p>This option is also known as "MaxKeys", "max-items", or "page-size"
from the AWS S3 specification. Most services truncate the response list
to 1000 objects even if requested more than that. In AWS S3 this is a
global maximum and cannot be changed, see <a
href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3/ls.html">AWS
S3</a>. In Ceph, this can be increased with the "rgw list buckets max
chunk" option.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: list_chunk</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_S3_LIST_CHUNK</li>
<li>Type: int</li>
<li>Default: 1000</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="s3-list-version">--s3-list-version</h4>
<p>Version of ListObjects to use: 1,2 or 0 for auto.</p>
<p>When S3 originally launched it only provided the ListObjects call to
enumerate objects in a bucket.</p>
<p>However in May 2016 the ListObjectsV2 call was introduced. This is
much higher performance and should be used if at all possible.</p>
<p>If set to the default, 0, rclone will guess according to the provider
set which list objects method to call. If it guesses wrong, then it may
be set manually here.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: list_version</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_S3_LIST_VERSION</li>
<li>Type: int</li>
<li>Default: 0</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="s3-list-url-encode">--s3-list-url-encode</h4>
<p>Whether to url encode listings: true/false/unset</p>
<p>Some providers support URL encoding listings and where this is
available this is more reliable when using control characters in file
names. If this is set to unset (the default) then rclone will choose
according to the provider setting what to apply, but you can override
rclone's choice here.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: list_url_encode</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_S3_LIST_URL_ENCODE</li>
<li>Type: Tristate</li>
<li>Default: unset</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="s3-no-check-bucket">--s3-no-check-bucket</h4>
<p>If set, don't attempt to check the bucket exists or create it.</p>
<p>This can be useful when trying to minimise the number of transactions
rclone does if you know the bucket exists already.</p>
<p>It can also be needed if the user you are using does not have bucket
creation permissions. Before v1.52.0 this would have passed silently due
to a bug.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: no_check_bucket</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_S3_NO_CHECK_BUCKET</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="s3-no-head">--s3-no-head</h4>
<p>If set, don't HEAD uploaded objects to check integrity.</p>
<p>This can be useful when trying to minimise the number of transactions
rclone does.</p>
<p>Setting it means that if rclone receives a 200 OK message after
uploading an object with PUT then it will assume that it got uploaded
properly.</p>
<p>In particular it will assume:</p>
<ul>
<li>the metadata, including modtime, storage class and content type was
as uploaded</li>
<li>the size was as uploaded</li>
</ul>
<p>It reads the following items from the response for a single part
PUT:</p>
<ul>
<li>the MD5SUM</li>
<li>The uploaded date</li>
</ul>
<p>For multipart uploads these items aren't read.</p>
<p>If an source object of unknown length is uploaded then rclone
<strong>will</strong> do a HEAD request.</p>
<p>Setting this flag increases the chance for undetected upload
failures, in particular an incorrect size, so it isn't recommended for
normal operation. In practice the chance of an undetected upload failure
is very small even with this flag.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: no_head</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_S3_NO_HEAD</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="s3-no-head-object">--s3-no-head-object</h4>

</ul>
<h4 id="s3-disable-http2">--s3-disable-http2</h4>
<p>Disable usage of http2 for S3 backends.</p>
<p>There is currently an unsolved issue with the s3 (specifically minio)
backend and HTTP/2. HTTP/2 is enabled by default for the s3 backend but
can be disabled here. When the issue is solved this flag will be
removed.</p>
<p>See: https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/4673,

<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="s3-download-url">--s3-download-url</h4>
<p>Custom endpoint for downloads. This is usually set to a CloudFront
CDN URL as AWS S3 offers cheaper egress for data downloaded through the
CloudFront network.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: download_url</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_S3_DOWNLOAD_URL</li>
<li>Type: string</li>
<li>Required: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="s3-directory-markers">--s3-directory-markers</h4>
<p>Upload an empty object with a trailing slash when a new directory is
created</p>
<p>Empty folders are unsupported for bucket based remotes, this option
creates an empty object ending with "/", to persist the folder.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>

</ul>
<h4 id="s3-use-multipart-etag">--s3-use-multipart-etag</h4>
<p>Whether to use ETag in multipart uploads for verification</p>
<p>This should be true, false or left unset to use the default for the

</ul>
<h4 id="s3-use-unsigned-payload">--s3-use-unsigned-payload</h4>
<p>Whether to use an unsigned payload in PutObject</p>
<p>Rclone has to avoid the AWS SDK seeking the body when calling
PutObject. The AWS provider can add checksums in the trailer to avoid
seeking but other providers can't.</p>
<p>This should be true, false or left unset to use the default for the
provider.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: use_unsigned_payload</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_S3_USE_UNSIGNED_PAYLOAD</li>
<li>Type: Tristate</li>
<li>Default: unset</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="s3-use-presigned-request">--s3-use-presigned-request</h4>
<p>Whether to use a presigned request or PutObject for single part
uploads</p>
<p>If this is false rclone will use PutObject from the AWS SDK to upload
an object.</p>
<p>Versions of rclone &lt; 1.59 use presigned requests to upload a
single part object and setting this flag to true will re-enable that
functionality. This shouldn't be necessary except in exceptional
circumstances or for testing.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: use_presigned_request</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_S3_USE_PRESIGNED_REQUEST</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>

<h4 id="s3-version-at">--s3-version-at</h4>
<p>Show file versions as they were at the specified time.</p>
<p>The parameter should be a date, "2006-01-02", datetime "2006-01-02
15:04:05" or a duration for that long ago, eg "100d" or "1h".</p>
<p>Note that when using this no file write operations are permitted, so
you can't upload files or delete them.</p>
<p>See <a href="https://rclone.org/docs/#time-option">the time option
docs</a> for valid formats.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: version_at</li>

<li>Type: Time</li>
<li>Default: off</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="s3-version-deleted">--s3-version-deleted</h4>
<p>Show deleted file markers when using versions.</p>
<p>This shows deleted file markers in the listing when using versions.
These will appear as 0 size files. The only operation which can be
performed on them is deletion.</p>
<p>Deleting a delete marker will reveal the previous version.</p>
<p>Deleted files will always show with a timestamp.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: version_deleted</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_S3_VERSION_DELETED</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="s3-decompress">--s3-decompress</h4>
<p>If set this will decompress gzip encoded objects.</p>
<p>It is possible to upload objects to S3 with "Content-Encoding: gzip"
set. Normally rclone will download these files as compressed
objects.</p>
<p>If this flag is set then rclone will decompress these files with
"Content-Encoding: gzip" as they are received. This means that rclone
can't check the size and hash but the file contents will be
decompressed.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: decompress</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_S3_DECOMPRESS</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="s3-might-gzip">--s3-might-gzip</h4>
<p>Set this if the backend might gzip objects.</p>
<p>Normally providers will not alter objects when they are downloaded.
If an object was not uploaded with <code>Content-Encoding: gzip</code>
then it won't be set on download.</p>
<p>However some providers may gzip objects even if they weren't uploaded
with <code>Content-Encoding: gzip</code> (eg Cloudflare).</p>
<p>A symptom of this would be receiving errors like</p>
<pre><code>ERROR corrupted on transfer: sizes differ NNN vs MMM</code></pre>
<p>If you set this flag and rclone downloads an object with
Content-Encoding: gzip set and chunked transfer encoding, then rclone
will decompress the object on the fly.</p>
<p>If this is set to unset (the default) then rclone will choose
according to the provider setting what to apply, but you can override
rclone's choice here.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: might_gzip</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_S3_MIGHT_GZIP</li>
<li>Type: Tristate</li>
<li>Default: unset</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="s3-use-accept-encoding-gzip">--s3-use-accept-encoding-gzip</h4>
<p>Whether to send <code>Accept-Encoding: gzip</code> header.</p>
<p>By default, rclone will append <code>Accept-Encoding: gzip</code> to
the request to download compressed objects whenever possible.</p>
<p>However some providers such as Google Cloud Storage may alter the
HTTP headers, breaking the signature of the request.</p>
<p>A symptom of this would be receiving errors like</p>
<pre><code>SignatureDoesNotMatch: The request signature we calculated does not match the signature you provided.</code></pre>
<p>In this case, you might want to try disabling this option.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>

</ul>
<h4 id="s3-use-already-exists">--s3-use-already-exists</h4>
<p>Set if rclone should report BucketAlreadyExists errors on bucket
creation.</p>
<p>At some point during the evolution of the s3 protocol, AWS started
returning an <code>AlreadyOwnedByYou</code> error when attempting to
create a bucket that the user already owned, rather than a
<code>BucketAlreadyExists</code> error.</p>
<p>Unfortunately exactly what has been implemented by s3 clones is a
little inconsistent, some return <code>AlreadyOwnedByYou</code>, some
return <code>BucketAlreadyExists</code> and some return no error at
all.</p>
<p>This is important to rclone because it ensures the bucket exists by
creating it on quite a lot of operations (unless
<code>--s3-no-check-bucket</code> is used).</p>
<p>If rclone knows the provider can return
<code>AlreadyOwnedByYou</code> or returns no error then it can report
<code>BucketAlreadyExists</code> errors when the user attempts to create
a bucket not owned by them. Otherwise rclone ignores the
<code>BucketAlreadyExists</code> error which can lead to confusion.</p>
<p>This should be automatically set correctly for all providers rclone
knows about - please make a bug report if not.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: use_already_exists</li>

<h4 id="s3-use-multipart-uploads">--s3-use-multipart-uploads</h4>
<p>Set if rclone should use multipart uploads.</p>
<p>You can change this if you want to disable the use of multipart

<p>Options:</p>
<ul>
<li>"max-age": Max age of upload to delete</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="cleanup-hidden">cleanup-hidden</h3>
<p>Remove old versions of files.</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend cleanup-hidden remote: [options] [&lt;arguments&gt;+]</code></pre>
<p>This command removes any old hidden versions of files on a versions
enabled bucket.</p>
<p>Note that you can use --interactive/-i or --dry-run with this command
to see what it would do.</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend cleanup-hidden s3:bucket/path/to/dir</code></pre>
<h3 id="versioning">versioning</h3>
<p>Set/get versioning support for a bucket.</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend versioning remote: [options] [&lt;arguments&gt;+]</code></pre>
<p>This command sets versioning support if a parameter is passed and
then returns the current versioning status for the bucket supplied.</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend versioning s3:bucket # read status only
rclone backend versioning s3:bucket Enabled
rclone backend versioning s3:bucket Suspended</code></pre>
<p>It may return "Enabled", "Suspended" or "Unversioned". Note that once
versioning has been enabled the status can't be set back to
"Unversioned".</p>
<h3 id="set">set</h3>
<p>Set command for updating the config parameters.</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend set remote: [options] [&lt;arguments&gt;+]</code></pre>
<p>This set command can be used to update the config parameters for a
running s3 backend.</p>
<p>Usage Examples:</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend set s3: [-o opt_name=opt_value] [-o opt_name2=opt_value2]
rclone rc backend/command command=set fs=s3: [-o opt_name=opt_value] [-o opt_name2=opt_value2]
rclone rc backend/command command=set fs=s3: -o session_token=X -o access_key_id=X -o secret_access_key=X</code></pre>
<p>The option keys are named as they are in the config file.</p>
<p>This rebuilds the connection to the s3 backend when it is called with
the new parameters. Only new parameters need be passed as the values
will default to those currently in use.</p>
<p>It doesn't return anything.</p>
<h3 id="anonymous-access">Anonymous access to public buckets</h3>
<p>If you want to use rclone to access a public bucket, configure with a
blank <code>access_key_id</code> and <code>secret_access_key</code>.
Your config should end up looking like this:</p>
<pre><code>[anons3]
type = s3
provider = AWS</code></pre>
<p>Then use it as normal with the name of the public bucket, e.g.</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsd anons3:1000genomes</code></pre>
<p>You will be able to list and copy data but not upload it.</p>
<p>You can also do this entirely on the command line</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsd :s3,provider=AWS:1000genomes</code></pre>
<h2 id="providers-1">Providers</h2>
<h3 id="aws-s3">AWS S3</h3>
<p>This is the provider used as main example and described in the <a
href="#configuration">configuration</a> section above.</p>
<h3 id="aws-snowball-edge">AWS Snowball Edge</h3>
<p><a href="https://aws.amazon.com/snowball/">AWS Snowball</a> is a
hardware appliance used for transferring bulk data back to AWS. Its main
software interface is S3 object storage.</p>
<p>To use rclone with AWS Snowball Edge devices, configure as standard
for an 'S3 Compatible Service'.</p>
<p>If using rclone pre v1.59 be sure to set
<code>upload_cutoff = 0</code> otherwise you will run into
authentication header issues as the snowball device does not support
query parameter based authentication.</p>
<p>With rclone v1.59 or later setting <code>upload_cutoff</code> should
not be necessary.</p>
<p>eg.</p>
<pre><code>[snowball]
type = s3
provider = Other
access_key_id = YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
secret_access_key = YOUR_SECRET_KEY
endpoint = http://[IP of Snowball]:8080
upload_cutoff = 0</code></pre>
<h3 id="ceph">Ceph</h3>
<p><a href="https://ceph.com/">Ceph</a> is an open-source, unified,
distributed storage system designed for excellent performance,
reliability and scalability. It has an S3 compatible object storage
interface.</p>
<p>To use rclone with Ceph, configure as above but leave the region
blank and set the endpoint. You should end up with something like this
in your config:</p>
<pre><code>[ceph]
type = s3
provider = Ceph
env_auth = false
access_key_id = XXX
secret_access_key = YYY
region =
endpoint = https://ceph.endpoint.example.com
location_constraint =
acl =
server_side_encryption =
storage_class =</code></pre>
<p>If you are using an older version of CEPH (e.g. 10.2.x Jewel) and a
version of rclone before v1.59 then you may need to supply the parameter
<code>--s3-upload-cutoff 0</code> or put this in the config file as
<code>upload_cutoff 0</code> to work around a bug which causes uploading
of small files to fail.</p>
<p>Note also that Ceph sometimes puts <code>/</code> in the passwords it
gives users. If you read the secret access key using the command line
tools you will get a JSON blob with the <code>/</code> escaped as
<code>\/</code>. Make sure you only write <code>/</code> in the secret
access key.</p>
<p>Eg the dump from Ceph looks something like this (irrelevant keys
removed).</p>
<pre><code>{
&quot;user_id&quot;: &quot;xxx&quot;,
&quot;display_name&quot;: &quot;xxxx&quot;,
&quot;keys&quot;: [
{
&quot;user&quot;: &quot;xxx&quot;,
&quot;access_key&quot;: &quot;xxxxxx&quot;,
&quot;secret_key&quot;: &quot;xxxxxx\/xxxx&quot;
}
],
}</code></pre>
<p>Because this is a json dump, it is encoding the <code>/</code> as
<code>\/</code>, so if you use the secret key as
<code>xxxxxx/xxxx</code> it will work fine.</p>

our "<a href="https://portal.rackcorp.com">portal</a>". Next you can
create an <code>access key</code>, a <code>secret key</code> and
<code>buckets</code>, in your location of choice with ease. These
details are required for the next steps of configuration, when
<code>rclone config</code> asks for your <code>access_key_id</code> and
<code>secret_access_key</code>.</p>
<p>Your config should end up looking a bit like this:</p>
<pre><code>[RCS3-demo-config]
type = s3
provider = RackCorp
env_auth = true
access_key_id = YOURACCESSKEY
secret_access_key = YOURSECRETACCESSKEY
region = au-nsw
endpoint = s3.rackcorp.com
location_constraint = au-nsw</code></pre>
<h3 id="rclone">Rclone Serve S3</h3>
<p>Rclone can serve any remote over the S3 protocol. For details see the
<a href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_serve_http/">rclone serve
s3</a> documentation.</p>
<p>For example, to serve <code>remote:path</code> over s3, run the
server like this:</p>
<pre><code>rclone serve s3 --auth-key ACCESS_KEY_ID,SECRET_ACCESS_KEY remote:path</code></pre>
<p>This will be compatible with an rclone remote which is defined like
this:</p>
<pre><code>[serves3]
type = s3
provider = Rclone
endpoint = http://127.0.0.1:8080/
access_key_id = ACCESS_KEY_ID
secret_access_key = SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
use_multipart_uploads = false</code></pre>
<p>Note that setting <code>disable_multipart_uploads = true</code> is to
work around <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_serve_http/#bugs">a bug</a>
which will be fixed in due course.</p>
<h3 id="scaleway">Scaleway</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.scaleway.com/object-storage/">Scaleway</a> The
Object Storage platform allows you to store anything from backups, logs
and web assets to documents and photos. Files can be dropped from the
Scaleway console or transferred through our API and CLI or using any
S3-compatible tool.</p>
<p>Scaleway provides an S3 interface which can be configured for use
with rclone like this:</p>
<pre><code>[scaleway]
type = s3
provider = Scaleway
env_auth = false
endpoint = s3.nl-ams.scw.cloud
access_key_id = SCWXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
secret_access_key = 1111111-2222-3333-44444-55555555555555
region = nl-ams
location_constraint = nl-ams
acl = private
upload_cutoff = 5M
chunk_size = 5M
copy_cutoff = 5M</code></pre>
<p><a href="https://www.scaleway.com/en/glacier-cold-storage/">Scaleway
Glacier</a> is the low-cost S3 Glacier alternative from Scaleway and it
works the same way as on S3 by accepting the "GLACIER"
<code>storage_class</code>. So you can configure your remote with the
<code>storage_class = GLACIER</code> option to upload directly to
Scaleway Glacier. Don't forget that in this state you can't read files
back after, you will need to restore them to "STANDARD" storage_class
first before being able to read them (see "restore" section above)</p>

<ul>
<li><code>--chunk-size</code> is forced to be 64 MiB or greater. This

<li>Server side copy is disabled as it isn't currently supported in the

<li>GetTier and SetTier are not supported.</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="backend-bugs">Backend bugs</h4>
<p>Due to <a href="https://github.com/storj/gateway-mt/issues/39">issue
#39</a> uploading multipart files via the S3 gateway causes them to lose
their metadata. For rclone's purpose this means that the modification
time is not stored, nor is any MD5SUM (if one is available from the
source).</p>
<p>This has the following consequences:</p>
<ul>
<li>Using <code>rclone rcat</code> will fail as the medatada doesn't
match after upload</li>
<li>Uploading files with <code>rclone mount</code> will fail for the
same reason
<ul>
<li>This can worked around by using <code>--vfs-cache-mode writes</code>
or <code>--vfs-cache-mode full</code> or setting
<code>--s3-upload-cutoff</code> large</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Files uploaded via a multipart upload won't have their modtimes
<ul>
<li>This will mean that <code>rclone sync</code> will likely keep trying
to upload files bigger than <code>--s3-upload-cutoff</code></li>
<li>This can be worked around with <code>--checksum</code> or
<code>--size-only</code> or setting <code>--s3-upload-cutoff</code>
large</li>
<li>The maximum value for <code>--s3-upload-cutoff</code> is 5GiB
though</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<p>One general purpose workaround is to set
<code>--s3-upload-cutoff 5G</code>. This means that rclone will upload
files smaller than 5GiB as single parts. Note that this can be set in
the config file with <code>upload_cutoff = 5G</code> or configured in
the advanced settings. If you regularly transfer files larger than 5G
then using <code>--checksum</code> or <code>--size-only</code> in
<code>rclone sync</code> is the recommended workaround.</p>
<h4 id="comparison-with-the-native-protocol">Comparison with the native
protocol</h4>
<p>Use the <a href="/storj">the native protocol</a> to take advantage of
client-side encryption as well as to achieve the best possible download
performance. Uploads will be erasure-coded locally, thus a 1gb upload
will result in 2.68gb of data being uploaded to storage nodes across the
network.</p>
<p>Use this backend and the S3 compatible Hosted Gateway to increase
upload performance and reduce the load on your systems and network.
Uploads will be encrypted and erasure-coded server-side, thus a 1GB
upload will result in only in 1GB of data being uploaded to storage
nodes across the network.</p>
<p>For more detailed comparison please check the documentation of the <a
href="/storj">storj</a> backend.</p>
<h2 id="memory-usage-memory">Memory usage {memory}</h2>
<p>The most common cause of rclone using lots of memory is a single
directory with millions of files in. Despite s3 not really having the
concepts of directories, rclone does the sync on a directory by
directory basis to be compatible with normal filing systems.</p>
<p>Rclone loads each directory into memory as rclone objects. Each
rclone object takes 0.5k-1k of memory, so approximately 1GB per
1,000,000 files, and the sync for that directory does not begin until it
is entirely loaded in memory. So the sync can take a long time to start
for large directories.</p>
<p>To sync a directory with 100,000,000 files in you would need
approximately 100 GB of memory. At some point the amount of memory
becomes difficult to provide so there is <a
href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/wiki/Big-syncs-with-millions-of-files">a
workaround for this</a> which involves a bit of scripting.</p>
<p>At some point rclone will gain a sync mode which is effectively this
workaround but built in to rclone.</p>
<h2 id="limitations-6">Limitations</h2>
<p><code>rclone about</code> is not supported by the S3 backend.
Backends without this capability cannot determine free space for an
rclone mount or use policy <code>mfs</code> (most free space) as a
member of an rclone union remote.</p>

<p>B2 supports multiple <a
href="https://www.backblaze.com/docs/cloud-storage-application-keys">Application
Keys for different access permission to B2 Buckets</a>.</p>
<p>You can use these with rclone too; you will need to use rclone
version 1.43 or later.</p>
<p>Follow Backblaze's docs to create an Application Key with the
required permission and add the <code>applicationKeyId</code> as the
<code>account</code> and the <code>Application Key</code> itself as the
<code>key</code>.</p>
<p>Note that you must put the <em>applicationKeyId</em> as the
<code>account</code> – you can't use the master Account ID. If you try
then B2 will return 401 errors.</p>
<h3 id="fast-list-1">--fast-list</h3>
<p>This remote supports <code>--fast-list</code> which allows you to use
fewer transactions in exchange for more memory. See the <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#fast-list">rclone docs</a> for more
details.</p>
<h3 id="modification-times-2">Modification times</h3>
<p>The modification time is stored as metadata on the object as
<code>X-Bz-Info-src_last_modified_millis</code> as milliseconds since
1970-01-01 in the Backblaze standard. Other tools should be able to use
this as a modified time.</p>
<p>Modified times are used in syncing and are fully supported. Note that
if a modification time needs to be updated on an object then it will
create a new version of the object.</p>
<h3 id="restricted-filename-characters-2">Restricted filename
characters</h3>
<p>In addition to the <a
href="https://rclone.org/overview/#restricted-characters">default
restricted characters set</a> the following characters are also
replaced:</p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr class="header">
<th>Character</th>
<th style="text-align: center;">Value</th>
<th style="text-align: center;">Replacement</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr class="odd">
<td>\</td>
<td style="text-align: center;">0x5C</td>
<td style="text-align: center;">\</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be <a
href="https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8">replaced</a>, as they
can't be used in JSON strings.</p>
<p>Note that in 2020-05 Backblaze started allowing  characters in file
names. Rclone hasn't changed its encoding as this could cause syncs to
re-transfer files. If you want rclone not to replace  then see the
<code>--b2-encoding</code> flag below and remove the
<code>BackSlash</code> from the string. This can be set in the
config.</p>
<h3 id="sha1-checksums">SHA1 checksums</h3>
<p>The SHA1 checksums of the files are checked on upload and download
and will be used in the syncing process.</p>
<p>Large files (bigger than the limit in
<code>--b2-upload-cutoff</code>) which are uploaded in chunks will store
their SHA1 on the object as <code>X-Bz-Info-large_file_sha1</code> as
recommended by Backblaze.</p>
<p>For a large file to be uploaded with an SHA1 checksum, the source
needs to support SHA1 checksums. The local disk supports SHA1 checksums
so large file transfers from local disk will have an SHA1. See <a
href="https://rclone.org/overview/#features">the overview</a> for
exactly which remotes support SHA1.</p>
<p>Sources which don't support SHA1, in particular <code>crypt</code>
will upload large files without SHA1 checksums. This may be fixed in the
future (see <a
href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/1767">#1767</a>).</p>
<p>Files sizes below <code>--b2-upload-cutoff</code> will always have an
SHA1 regardless of the source.</p>
<h3 id="transfers">Transfers</h3>
<p>Backblaze recommends that you do lots of transfers simultaneously for
maximum speed. In tests from my SSD equipped laptop the optimum setting
is about <code>--transfers 32</code> though higher numbers may be used
for a slight speed improvement. The optimum number for you may vary
depending on your hardware, how big the files are, how much you want to
load your computer, etc. The default of <code>--transfers 4</code> is
definitely too low for Backblaze B2 though.</p>
<p>Note that uploading big files (bigger than 200 MiB by default) will
use a 96 MiB RAM buffer by default. There can be at most
<code>--transfers</code> of these in use at any moment, so this sets the
upper limit on the memory used.</p>
<h3 id="versions-1">Versions</h3>
<p>The default setting of B2 is to keep old versions of files. This
means when rclone uploads a new version of a file it creates a <a
href="https://www.backblaze.com/docs/cloud-storage-file-versions">new
version of it</a>. Likewise when you delete a file, the old version will
be marked hidden and still be available.</p>
<p>Whether B2 keeps old versions of files or not can be adjusted on a
per bucket basis using the "Lifecycle settings" on the B2 control panel
or when creating the bucket using the <a
href="#b2-lifecycle">--b2-lifecycle</a> flag or after creation using the
<a href="#lifecycle">rclone backend lifecycle</a> command.</p>
<p>You may opt in to a "hard delete" of files with the
<code>--b2-hard-delete</code> flag which permanently removes files on
deletion instead of hiding them.</p>
<p>Old versions of files, where available, are visible using the
<code>--b2-versions</code> flag.</p>
<p>It is also possible to view a bucket as it was at a certain point in
time, using the <code>--b2-version-at</code> flag. This will show the
file versions as they were at that time, showing files that have been
deleted afterwards, and hiding files that were created since.</p>
<p>If you wish to remove all the old versions, and unfinished large file
uploads, then you can use the <code>rclone cleanup remote:bucket</code>
command which will delete all the old versions of files, leaving the
current ones intact. You can also supply a path and only old versions
under that path will be deleted, e.g.
<code>rclone cleanup remote:bucket/path/to/stuff</code>.</p>
<p>Note that <code>cleanup</code> will remove partially uploaded files
from the bucket if they are more than a day old. If you want more
control over the expiry date then run
<code>rclone backend cleanup b2:bucket -o max-age=1h</code> to remove
all unfinished large file uploads older than one hour, leaving old
versions intact.</p>
<p>If you wish to remove all the old versions, leaving current files and
unfinished large files intact, then you can use the <a
href="#cleanup-hidden"><code>rclone backend cleanup-hidden remote:bucket</code></a>
command. You can also supply a path and only old versions under that
path will be deleted, e.g.
<code>rclone backend cleanup-hidden remote:bucket/path/to/stuff</code>.</p>
<p>When you <code>purge</code> a bucket, the current and the old
versions will be deleted then the bucket will be deleted.</p>
<p>However <code>delete</code> will cause the current versions of the
files to become hidden old versions.</p>
<p>Here is a session showing the listing and retrieval of an old version
followed by a <code>cleanup</code> of the old versions.</p>
<p>Show current version and all the versions with
<code>--b2-versions</code> flag.</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone -q ls b2:cleanup-test

$ rclone -q ls b2:cleanup-test
9 one.txt
$ rclone -q --b2-versions ls b2:cleanup-test
9 one.txt</code></pre>
<h4 id="versions-naming-caveat-1">Versions naming caveat</h4>
<p>When using <code>--b2-versions</code> flag rclone is relying on the
file name to work out whether the objects are versions or not. Versions'
names are created by inserting timestamp between file name and its
extension.</p>
<pre><code> 9 file.txt
8 file-v2023-07-17-161032-000.txt
16 file-v2023-06-15-141003-000.txt</code></pre>
<p>If there are real files present with the same names as versions, then
behaviour of <code>--b2-versions</code> can be unpredictable.</p>
<h3 id="data-usage">Data usage</h3>
<p>It is useful to know how many requests are sent to the server in
different scenarios.</p>
<p>All copy commands send the following 4 requests:</p>
<pre><code>/b2api/v1/b2_authorize_account
/b2api/v1/b2_create_bucket
/b2api/v1/b2_list_buckets
/b2api/v1/b2_list_file_names</code></pre>
<p>The <code>b2_list_file_names</code> request will be sent once for
every 1k files in the remote path, providing the checksum and
modification time of the listed files. As of version 1.33 issue <a
href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/818">#818</a> causes extra
requests to be sent when using B2 with Crypt. When a copy operation does
not require any files to be uploaded, no more requests will be sent.</p>
<p>Uploading files that do not require chunking, will send 2 requests
per file upload:</p>
<pre><code>/b2api/v1/b2_get_upload_url
/b2api/v1/b2_upload_file/</code></pre>
<p>Uploading files requiring chunking, will send 2 requests (one each to
start and finish the upload) and another 2 requests for each chunk:</p>
<pre><code>/b2api/v1/b2_start_large_file
/b2api/v1/b2_get_upload_part_url
/b2api/v1/b2_upload_part/
/b2api/v1/b2_finish_large_file</code></pre>
<h4 id="versions-2">Versions</h4>
<p>Versions can be viewed with the <code>--b2-versions</code> flag. When
it is set rclone will show and act on older versions of files. For
example</p>
<p>Listing without <code>--b2-versions</code></p>
<pre><code>$ rclone -q ls b2:cleanup-test
9 one.txt</code></pre>
<p>And with</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone -q --b2-versions ls b2:cleanup-test
9 one.txt
8 one-v2016-07-04-141032-000.txt
16 one-v2016-07-04-141003-000.txt
15 one-v2016-07-02-155621-000.txt</code></pre>
<p>Showing that the current version is unchanged but older versions can
be seen. These have the UTC date that they were uploaded to the server
to the nearest millisecond appended to them.</p>
<p>Note that when using <code>--b2-versions</code> no file write
operations are permitted, so you can't upload files or delete them.</p>
<h3 id="b2-and-rclone-link">B2 and rclone link</h3>
<p>Rclone supports generating file share links for private B2 buckets.
They can either be for a file for example:</p>
<pre><code>./rclone link B2:bucket/path/to/file.txt
https://f002.backblazeb2.com/file/bucket/path/to/file.txt?Authorization=xxxxxxxx
</code></pre>
<p>or if run on a directory you will get:</p>
<pre><code>./rclone link B2:bucket/path
https://f002.backblazeb2.com/file/bucket/path?Authorization=xxxxxxxx</code></pre>
<p>you can then use the authorization token (the part of the url from
the <code>?Authorization=</code> on) on any file path under that
directory. For example:</p>
<pre><code>https://f002.backblazeb2.com/file/bucket/path/to/file1?Authorization=xxxxxxxx
https://f002.backblazeb2.com/file/bucket/path/file2?Authorization=xxxxxxxx

<h4 id="b2-upload-cutoff">--b2-upload-cutoff</h4>
<p>Cutoff for switching to chunked upload.</p>
<p>Files above this size will be uploaded in chunks of
"--b2-chunk-size".</p>
<p>This value should be set no larger than 4.657 GiB (== 5 GB).</p>
<p>Properties:</p>

<li>Type: SizeSuffix</li>
<li>Default: 4Gi</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="b2-chunk-size">--b2-chunk-size</h4>
<p>Upload chunk size.</p>
<p>When uploading large files, chunk the file into this size.</p>
<p>Must fit in memory. These chunks are buffered in memory and there
might a maximum of "--transfers" chunks in progress at once.</p>

</ul>
<h4 id="b2-disable-checksum">--b2-disable-checksum</h4>
<p>Disable checksums for large (&gt; upload cutoff) files.</p>
<p>Normally rclone will calculate the SHA1 checksum of the input before
uploading it so it can add it to metadata on the object. This is great
for data integrity checking but can cause long delays for large files to
start uploading.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: disable_checksum</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_B2_DISABLE_CHECKSUM</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="b2-download-url">--b2-download-url</h4>
<p>Custom endpoint for downloads.</p>
<p>This is usually set to a Cloudflare CDN URL as Backblaze offers free
egress for data downloaded through the Cloudflare network. Rclone works
with private buckets by sending an "Authorization" header. If the custom
endpoint rewrites the requests for authentication, e.g., in Cloudflare
Workers, this header needs to be handled properly. Leave blank if you
want to use the endpoint provided by Backblaze.</p>
<p>The URL provided here SHOULD have the protocol and SHOULD NOT have a
trailing slash or specify the /file/bucket subpath as rclone will
request files with "{download_url}/file/{bucket_name}/{path}".</p>
<p>Example: &gt; https://mysubdomain.mydomain.tld (No trailing "/",
"file" or "bucket")</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: download_url</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_B2_DOWNLOAD_URL</li>

<h4 id="b2-download-auth-duration">--b2-download-auth-duration</h4>
<p>Time before the public link authorization token will expire in s or
suffix ms|s|m|h|d.</p>
<p>This is used in combination with "rclone link" for making files
accessible to the public and sets the duration before the download
authorization token will expire.</p>
<p>The minimum value is 1 second. The maximum value is one week.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: download_auth_duration</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_B2_DOWNLOAD_AUTH_DURATION</li>

<li>Default: 1m0s</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="b2-memory-pool-use-mmap">--b2-memory-pool-use-mmap</h4>
<p>Whether to use mmap buffers in internal memory pool. (no longer
used)</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: memory_pool_use_mmap</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_B2_MEMORY_POOL_USE_MMAP</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="b2-lifecycle">--b2-lifecycle</h4>
<p>Set the number of days deleted files should be kept when creating a
bucket.</p>
<p>On bucket creation, this parameter is used to create a lifecycle rule
for the entire bucket.</p>
<p>If lifecycle is 0 (the default) it does not create a lifecycle rule
so the default B2 behaviour applies. This is to create versions of files
on delete and overwrite and to keep them indefinitely.</p>
<p>If lifecycle is &gt;0 then it creates a single rule setting the
number of days before a file that is deleted or overwritten is deleted
permanently. This is known as daysFromHidingToDeleting in the b2
docs.</p>
<p>The minimum value for this parameter is 1 day.</p>
<p>You can also enable hard_delete in the config also which will mean
deletions won't cause versions but overwrites will still cause versions
to be made.</p>
<p>See: <a href="#lifecycle">rclone backend lifecycle</a> for setting
lifecycles after bucket creation.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: lifecycle</li>

<h2 id="backend-commands-1">Backend commands</h2>
<p>Here are the commands specific to the b2 backend.</p>
<p>Run them with</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend COMMAND remote:</code></pre>
<p>The help below will explain what arguments each command takes.</p>
<p>See the <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_backend/">backend</a> command
for more info on how to pass options and arguments.</p>
<p>These can be run on a running backend using the rc command <a
href="https://rclone.org/rc/#backend-command">backend/command</a>.</p>
<h3 id="lifecycle">lifecycle</h3>
<p>Read or set the lifecycle for a bucket</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend lifecycle remote: [options] [&lt;arguments&gt;+]</code></pre>
<p>This command can be used to read or set the lifecycle for a
bucket.</p>
<p>Usage Examples:</p>
<p>To show the current lifecycle rules:</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend lifecycle b2:bucket</code></pre>
<p>This will dump something like this showing the lifecycle rules.</p>
<pre><code>[
{
&quot;daysFromHidingToDeleting&quot;: 1,
&quot;daysFromUploadingToHiding&quot;: null,
&quot;fileNamePrefix&quot;: &quot;&quot;
}
]</code></pre>
<p>If there are no lifecycle rules (the default) then it will just
return [].</p>
<p>To reset the current lifecycle rules:</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend lifecycle b2:bucket -o daysFromHidingToDeleting=30
rclone backend lifecycle b2:bucket -o daysFromUploadingToHiding=5 -o daysFromHidingToDeleting=1</code></pre>
<p>This will run and then print the new lifecycle rules as above.</p>
<p>Rclone only lets you set lifecycles for the whole bucket with the
fileNamePrefix = "".</p>
<p>You can't disable versioning with B2. The best you can do is to set
the daysFromHidingToDeleting to 1 day. You can enable hard_delete in the
config also which will mean deletions won't cause versions but
overwrites will still cause versions to be made.</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend lifecycle b2:bucket -o daysFromHidingToDeleting=1</code></pre>
<p>See: https://www.backblaze.com/docs/cloud-storage-lifecycle-rules</p>
<p>Options:</p>
<ul>
<li>"daysFromHidingToDeleting": After a file has been hidden for this
many days it is deleted. 0 is off.</li>
<li>"daysFromUploadingToHiding": This many days after uploading a file
is hidden</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="cleanup-3">cleanup</h3>
<p>Remove unfinished large file uploads.</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend cleanup remote: [options] [&lt;arguments&gt;+]</code></pre>
<p>This command removes unfinished large file uploads of age greater
than max-age, which defaults to 24 hours.</p>
<p>Note that you can use --interactive/-i or --dry-run with this command
to see what it would do.</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend cleanup b2:bucket/path/to/object
rclone backend cleanup -o max-age=7w b2:bucket/path/to/object</code></pre>
<p>Durations are parsed as per the rest of rclone, 2h, 7d, 7w etc.</p>
<p>Options:</p>
<ul>
<li>"max-age": Max age of upload to delete</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="cleanup-hidden-1">cleanup-hidden</h3>
<p>Remove old versions of files.</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend cleanup-hidden remote: [options] [&lt;arguments&gt;+]</code></pre>
<p>This command removes any old hidden versions of files.</p>
<p>Note that you can use --interactive/-i or --dry-run with this command
to see what it would do.</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend cleanup-hidden b2:bucket/path/to/dir</code></pre>
<h2 id="limitations-7">Limitations</h2>
<p><code>rclone about</code> is not supported by the B2 backend.
Backends without this capability cannot determine free space for an
rclone mount or use policy <code>mfs</code> (most free space) as a
member of an rclone union remote.</p>
<p>See <a href="https://rclone.org/overview/#optional-features">List of
backends that do not support rclone about</a> and <a

<h1 id="box">Box</h1>
<p>Paths are specified as <code>remote:path</code></p>
<p>Paths may be as deep as required, e.g.
<code>remote:directory/subdirectory</code>.</p>
<p>The initial setup for Box involves getting a token from Box which you
can do either in your browser, or with a config.json downloaded from Box
to use JWT authentication. <code>rclone config</code> walks you through
it.</p>
<h2 id="configuration-4">Configuration</h2>
<p>Here is an example of how to make a remote called

y/e/d&gt; y</code></pre>
<p>See the <a href="https://rclone.org/remote_setup/">remote setup
docs</a> for how to set it up on a machine with no Internet browser
available.</p>
<p>Note that rclone runs a webserver on your local machine to collect
the token as returned from Box. This only runs from the moment it opens
your browser to the moment you get back the verification code. This is
on <code>http://127.0.0.1:53682/</code> and this it may require you to
unblock it temporarily if you are running a host firewall.</p>
<p>Once configured you can then use <code>rclone</code> like this,</p>
<p>List directories in top level of your Box</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsd remote:</code></pre>
<p>List all the files in your Box</p>
<pre><code>rclone ls remote:</code></pre>

<pre><code>rclone copy /home/source remote:backup</code></pre>
<h3 id="using-rclone-with-an-enterprise-account-with-sso">Using rclone
with an Enterprise account with SSO</h3>
<p>If you have an "Enterprise" account type with Box with single sign on
(SSO), you need to create a password to use Box with rclone. This can be
done at your Enterprise Box account by going to Settings, "Account" Tab,
and then set the password in the "Authentication" field.</p>
<p>Once you have done this, you can setup your Enterprise Box account
using the same procedure detailed above in the, using the password you
have just set.</p>
<h3 id="invalid-refresh-token">Invalid refresh token</h3>
<p>According to the <a
href="https://developer.box.com/v2.0/docs/oauth-20#section-6-using-the-access-and-refresh-tokens">box
docs</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Each refresh_token is valid for one use in 60 days.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This means that if you</p>
<ul>
<li>Don't use the box remote for 60 days</li>
<li>Copy the config file with a box refresh token in and use it in two
places</li>
<li>Get an error on a token refresh</li>
</ul>
<p>then rclone will return an error which includes the text
<code>Invalid refresh token</code>.</p>
<p>To fix this you will need to use oauth2 again to update the refresh
token. You can use the methods in <a
href="https://rclone.org/remote_setup/">the remote setup docs</a>,
bearing in mind that if you use the copy the config file method, you
should not use that remote on the computer you did the authentication
on.</p>
<p>Here is how to do it.</p>

<h3 id="modification-times-and-hashes-2">Modification times and
hashes</h3>
<p>Box allows modification times to be set on objects accurate to 1
second. These will be used to detect whether objects need syncing or
not.</p>
<p>Box supports SHA1 type hashes, so you can use the
<code>--checksum</code> flag.</p>
<h3 id="restricted-filename-characters-3">Restricted filename

<p>In addition to the <a

<p>Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be <a
href="https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8">replaced</a>, as they
can't be used in JSON strings.</p>
<h3 id="transfers-1">Transfers</h3>
<p>For files above 50 MiB rclone will use a chunked transfer. Rclone
will upload up to <code>--transfers</code> chunks at the same time
(shared among all the multipart uploads). Chunks are buffered in memory
and are normally 8 MiB so increasing <code>--transfers</code> will
increase memory use.</p>
<h3 id="deleting-files">Deleting files</h3>
<p>Depending on the enterprise settings for your user, the item will
either be actually deleted from Box or moved to the trash.</p>
<p>Emptying the trash is supported via the rclone however cleanup
command however this deletes every trashed file and folder individually
so it may take a very long time. Emptying the trash via the WebUI does
not have this limitation so it is advised to empty the trash via the
WebUI.</p>
<h3 id="root-folder-id">Root folder ID</h3>
<p>You can set the <code>root_folder_id</code> for rclone. This is the
directory (identified by its <code>Folder ID</code>) that rclone
considers to be the root of your Box drive.</p>
<p>Normally you will leave this blank and rclone will determine the
correct root to use itself.</p>
<p>However you can set this to restrict rclone to a specific folder
hierarchy.</p>
<p>In order to do this you will have to find the <code>Folder ID</code>
of the directory you wish rclone to display. This will be the last
segment of the URL when you open the relevant folder in the Box web
interface.</p>
<p>So if the folder you want rclone to use has a URL which looks like
<code>https://app.box.com/folder/11xxxxxxxxx8</code> in the browser,
then you use <code>11xxxxxxxxx8</code> as the
<code>root_folder_id</code> in the config.</p>

<h2 id="limitations-8">Limitations</h2>
<p>Note that Box is case insensitive so you can't have a file called
"Hello.doc" and one called "hello.doc".</p>
<p>Box file names can't have the <code>\</code> character in. rclone
maps this to and from an identical looking unicode equivalent
<code>\</code> (U+FF3C Fullwidth Reverse Solidus).</p>
<p>Box only supports filenames up to 255 characters in length.</p>
<p>Box has <a
href="https://developer.box.com/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/rate-limits/">API
rate limits</a> that sometimes reduce the speed of rclone.</p>
<p><code>rclone about</code> is not supported by the Box backend.
Backends without this capability cannot determine free space for an
rclone mount or use policy <code>mfs</code> (most free space) as a
member of an rclone union remote.</p>
<p>See <a href="https://rclone.org/overview/#optional-features">List of
backends that do not support rclone about</a> and <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_about/">rclone about</a></p>
<h2 id="get-your-own-box-app-id">Get your own Box App ID</h2>
<p>Here is how to create your own Box App ID for rclone:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li><p>Go to the <a href="https://app.box.com/developers/console">Box
Developer Console</a> and login, then click <code>My Apps</code> on the
sidebar. Click <code>Create New App</code> and select
<code>Custom App</code>.</p></li>
<li><p>In the first screen on the box that pops up, you can pretty much
enter whatever you want. The <code>App Name</code> can be whatever. For
<code>Purpose</code> choose automation to avoid having to fill out
anything else. Click <code>Next</code>.</p></li>
<li><p>In the second screen of the creation screen, select
<code>User Authentication (OAuth 2.0)</code>. Then click
<code>Create App</code>.</p></li>
<li><p>You should now be on the <code>Configuration</code> tab of your
new app. If not, click on it at the top of the webpage. Copy down
<code>Client ID</code> and <code>Client Secret</code>, you'll need those
for rclone.</p></li>
<li><p>Under "OAuth 2.0 Redirect URI", add
<code>http://127.0.0.1:53682/</code></p></li>
<li><p>For <code>Application Scopes</code>, select
<code>Read all files and folders stored in Box</code> and
<code>Write all files and folders stored in box</code> (assuming you
want to do both). Leave others unchecked. Click
<code>Save Changes</code> at the top right.</p></li>

<h1 id="cache">Cache</h1>
<p>The <code>cache</code> remote wraps another existing remote and
stores file structure and its data for long running tasks like
<code>rclone mount</code>.</p>
<h2 id="status">Status</h2>
<p>The cache backend code is working but it currently doesn't have a
maintainer so there are <a
href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Abug+label%3A%22Remote%3A+Cache%22">outstanding
bugs</a> which aren't getting fixed.</p>
<p>The cache backend is due to be phased out in favour of the VFS
caching layer eventually which is more tightly integrated into
rclone.</p>
<p>Until this happens we recommend only using the cache backend if you
find you can't work without it. There are many docs online describing
the use of the cache backend to minimize API hits and by-and-large these
are out of date and the cache backend isn't needed in those scenarios
any more.</p>
<h2 id="configuration-5">Configuration</h2>
<p>To get started you just need to have an existing remote which can be
configured with <code>cache</code>.</p>
<p>Here is an example of how to make a remote called
<code>test-cache</code>. First run:</p>
<pre><code> rclone config</code></pre>
<p>This will guide you through an interactive setup process:</p>
<pre><code>No remotes found, make a new one?
n) New remote
r) Rename remote
c) Copy remote
s) Set configuration password
q) Quit config

<h3 id="write-features">Write Features</h3>
<h3 id="offline-uploading">Offline uploading</h3>
<p>In an effort to make writing through cache more reliable, the backend
now supports this feature which can be activated by specifying a
<code>cache-tmp-upload-path</code>.</p>
<p>A files goes through these states when using this feature:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>An upload is started (usually by copying a file on the cache
remote)</li>
<li>When the copy to the temporary location is complete the file is part
of the cached remote and looks and behaves like any other file (reading
included)</li>
<li>After <code>cache-tmp-wait-time</code> passes and the file is next
in line, <code>rclone move</code> is used to move the file to the cloud
provider</li>
<li>Reading the file still works during the upload but most
modifications on it will be prohibited</li>
<li>Once the move is complete the file is unlocked for modifications as
it becomes as any other regular file</li>
<li>If the file is being read through <code>cache</code> when it's
actually deleted from the temporary path then <code>cache</code> will
simply swap the source to the cloud provider without interrupting the
reading (small blip can happen though)</li>
</ol>
<p>Files are uploaded in sequence and only one file is uploaded at a
time. Uploads will be stored in a queue and be processed based on the
order they were added. The queue and the temporary storage is persistent
across restarts but can be cleared on startup with the
<code>--cache-db-purge</code> flag.</p>
<h3 id="write-support">Write Support</h3>
<p>Writes are supported through <code>cache</code>. One caveat is that a
mounted cache remote does not add any retry or fallback mechanism to the
upload operation. This will depend on the implementation of the wrapped
remote. Consider using <code>Offline uploading</code> for reliable
writes.</p>
<p>One special case is covered with <code>cache-writes</code> which will
cache the file data at the same time as the upload when it is enabled
making it available from the cache store immediately once the upload is
finished.</p>
<h3 id="read-features">Read Features</h3>
<h4 id="multiple-connections">Multiple connections</h4>
<p>To counter the high latency between a local PC where rclone is
running and cloud providers, the cache remote can split multiple
requests to the cloud provider for smaller file chunks and combines them
together locally where they can be available almost immediately before
the reader usually needs them.</p>
<p>This is similar to buffering when media files are played online.
Rclone will stay around the current marker but always try its best to
stay ahead and prepare the data before.</p>
<h4 id="plex-integration">Plex Integration</h4>
<p>There is a direct integration with Plex which allows cache to detect
during reading if the file is in playback or not. This helps cache to
adapt how it queries the cloud provider depending on what is needed
for.</p>
<p>Scans will have a minimum amount of workers (1) while in a confirmed
playback cache will deploy the configured number of workers.</p>
<p>This integration opens the doorway to additional performance
improvements which will be explored in the near future.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> If Plex options are not configured,
<code>cache</code> will function with its configured options without
adapting any of its settings.</p>
<p>How to enable? Run <code>rclone config</code> and add all the Plex
options (endpoint, username and password) in your remote and it will be
automatically enabled.</p>
<p>Affected settings: - <code>cache-workers</code>: <em>Configured
value</em> during confirmed playback or <em>1</em> all the other
times</p>
<h5 id="certificate-validation">Certificate Validation</h5>
<p>When the Plex server is configured to only accept secure connections,
it is possible to use <code>.plex.direct</code> URLs to ensure
certificate validation succeeds. These URLs are used by Plex internally
to connect to the Plex server securely.</p>
<p>The format for these URLs is the following:</p>
<p><code>https://ip-with-dots-replaced.server-hash.plex.direct:32400/</code></p>
<p>The <code>ip-with-dots-replaced</code> part can be any IPv4 address,
where the dots have been replaced with dashes, e.g.
<code>127.0.0.1</code> becomes <code>127-0-0-1</code>.</p>
<p>To get the <code>server-hash</code> part, the easiest way is to
visit</p>
<p>https://plex.tv/api/resources?includeHttps=1&amp;X-Plex-Token=your-plex-token</p>
<p>This page will list all the available Plex servers for your account
with at least one <code>.plex.direct</code> link for each. Copy one URL
and replace the IP address with the desired address. This can be used as
the <code>plex_url</code> value.</p>
<h3 id="known-issues">Known issues</h3>
<h4 id="mount-and---dir-cache-time">Mount and --dir-cache-time</h4>
<p>--dir-cache-time controls the first layer of directory caching which
works at the mount layer. Being an independent caching mechanism from
the <code>cache</code> backend, it will manage its own entries based on
the configured time.</p>
<p>To avoid getting in a scenario where dir cache has obsolete data and
cache would have the correct one, try to set
<code>--dir-cache-time</code> to a lower time than
<code>--cache-info-age</code>. Default values are already configured in
this way.</p>
<h4 id="windows-support---experimental">Windows support -
Experimental</h4>
<p>There are a couple of issues with Windows <code>mount</code>
functionality that still require some investigations. It should be
considered as experimental thus far as fixes come in for this OS.</p>
<p>Most of the issues seem to be related to the difference between
filesystems on Linux flavors and Windows as cache is heavily dependent
on them.</p>
<p>Any reports or feedback on how cache behaves on this OS is greatly
appreciated.</p>
<ul>

<li>https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/1907</li>
<li>https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/1834</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="risk-of-throttling">Risk of throttling</h4>
<p>Future iterations of the cache backend will make use of the pooling
functionality of the cloud provider to synchronize and at the same time
make writing through it more tolerant to failures.</p>
<p>There are a couple of enhancements in track to add these but in the
meantime there is a valid concern that the expiring cache listings can
lead to cloud provider throttles or bans due to repeated queries on it
for very large mounts.</p>
<p>Some recommendations: - don't use a very small interval for entry
information (<code>--cache-info-age</code>) - while writes aren't yet
optimised, you can still write through <code>cache</code> which gives
you the advantage of adding the file in the cache at the same time if
configured to do so.</p>
<p>Future enhancements:</p>
<ul>
<li>https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/1937</li>
<li>https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/1936</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="cache-and-crypt">cache and crypt</h4>
<p>One common scenario is to keep your data encrypted in the cloud
provider using the <code>crypt</code> remote. <code>crypt</code> uses a
similar technique to wrap around an existing remote and handles this
translation in a seamless way.</p>
<p>There is an issue with wrapping the remotes in this order:
<strong>cloud remote</strong> -&gt; <strong>crypt</strong> -&gt;
<strong>cache</strong></p>
<p>During testing, I experienced a lot of bans with the remotes in this
order. I suspect it might be related to how crypt opens files on the
cloud provider which makes it think we're downloading the full file
instead of small chunks. Organizing the remotes in this order yields
better results: <strong>cloud remote</strong> -&gt;
<strong>cache</strong> -&gt; <strong>crypt</strong></p>
<h4 id="absolute-remote-paths">absolute remote paths</h4>
<p><code>cache</code> can not differentiate between relative and
absolute paths for the wrapped remote. Any path given in the
<code>remote</code> config setting and on the command line will be
passed to the wrapped remote as is, but for storing the chunks on disk
the path will be made relative by removing any leading <code>/</code>
character.</p>
<p>This behavior is irrelevant for most backend types, but there are
backends where a leading <code>/</code> changes the effective directory,
e.g. in the <code>sftp</code> backend paths starting with a
<code>/</code> are relative to the root of the SSH server and paths
without are relative to the user home directory. As a result
<code>sftp:bin</code> and <code>sftp:/bin</code> will share the same
cache folder, even if they represent a different directory on the SSH
server.</p>
<h3 id="cache-and-remote-control---rc">Cache and Remote Control
(--rc)</h3>
<p>Cache supports the new <code>--rc</code> mode in rclone and can be
remote controlled through the following end points: By default, the
listener is disabled if you do not add the flag.</p>
<h3 id="rc-cacheexpire">rc cache/expire</h3>
<p>Purge a remote from the cache backend. Supports either a directory or
a file. It supports both encrypted and unencrypted file names if cache
is wrapped by crypt.</p>

<p>This config follows the "--cache-db-path". If you specify a custom
location for "--cache-db-path" and don't specify one for
"--cache-chunk-path" then "--cache-chunk-path" will use the same path as
"--cache-db-path".</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: chunk_path</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_CACHE_CHUNK_PATH</li>
<li>Type: string</li>
<li>Default: "$HOME/.cache/rclone/cache-backend"</li>

<li>Config: db_purge</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_CACHE_DB_PURGE</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="cache-chunk-clean-interval">--cache-chunk-clean-interval</h4>
<p>How often should the cache perform cleanups of the chunk storage.</p>
<p>The default value should be ok for most people. If you find that the
cache goes over "cache-chunk-total-size" too often then try to lower
this value to force it to perform cleanups more often.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: chunk_clean_interval</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_CACHE_CHUNK_CLEAN_INTERVAL</li>
<li>Type: Duration</li>
<li>Default: 1m0s</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="cache-read-retries">--cache-read-retries</h4>
<p>How many times to retry a read from a cache storage.</p>
<p>Since reading from a cache stream is independent from downloading
file data, readers can get to a point where there's no more data in the
cache. Most of the times this can indicate a connectivity issue if cache
isn't able to provide file data anymore.</p>
<p>For really slow connections, increase this to a point where the
stream is able to provide data but your experience will be very
stuttering.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: read_retries</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_CACHE_READ_RETRIES</li>
<li>Type: int</li>
<li>Default: 10</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="cache-workers">--cache-workers</h4>
<p>How many workers should run in parallel to download chunks.</p>
<p>Higher values will mean more parallel processing (better CPU needed)
and more concurrent requests on the cloud provider. This impacts several
aspects like the cloud provider API limits, more stress on the hardware
that rclone runs on but it also means that streams will be more fluid
and data will be available much more faster to readers.</p>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: If the optional Plex integration is enabled
then this setting will adapt to the type of reading performed and the
value specified here will be used as a maximum number of workers to
use.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: workers</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_CACHE_WORKERS</li>
<li>Type: int</li>
<li>Default: 4</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="cache-chunk-no-memory">--cache-chunk-no-memory</h4>
<p>Disable the in-memory cache for storing chunks during streaming.</p>
<p>By default, cache will keep file data during streaming in RAM as well
to provide it to readers as fast as possible.</p>
<p>This transient data is evicted as soon as it is read and the number
of chunks stored doesn't exceed the number of workers. However,
depending on other settings like "cache-chunk-size" and "cache-workers"
this footprint can increase if there are parallel streams too (multiple
files being read at the same time).</p>
<p>If the hardware permits it, use this feature to provide an overall
better performance during streaming but it can also be disabled if RAM
is not available on the local machine.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: chunk_no_memory</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_CACHE_CHUNK_NO_MEMORY</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="cache-rps">--cache-rps</h4>
<p>Limits the number of requests per second to the source FS (-1 to
disable).</p>
<p>This setting places a hard limit on the number of requests per second
that cache will be doing to the cloud provider remote and try to respect
that value by setting waits between reads.</p>
<p>If you find that you're getting banned or limited on the cloud
provider through cache and know that a smaller number of requests per
second will allow you to work with it then you can use this setting for
that.</p>
<p>A good balance of all the other settings should make this setting
useless but it is available to set for more special cases.</p>
<p><strong>NOTE</strong>: This will limit the number of requests during
streams but other API calls to the cloud provider like directory
listings will still pass.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: rps</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_CACHE_RPS</li>
<li>Type: int</li>
<li>Default: -1</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="cache-writes">--cache-writes</h4>
<p>Cache file data on writes through the FS.</p>
<p>If you need to read files immediately after you upload them through
cache you can enable this flag to have their data stored in the cache
store at the same time during upload.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: writes</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_CACHE_WRITES</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="cache-tmp-upload-path">--cache-tmp-upload-path</h4>
<p>Directory to keep temporary files until they are uploaded.</p>
<p>This is the path where cache will use as a temporary storage for new
files that need to be uploaded to the cloud provider.</p>
<p>Specifying a value will enable this feature. Without it, it is
completely disabled and files will be uploaded directly to the cloud
provider</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: tmp_upload_path</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_CACHE_TMP_UPLOAD_PATH</li>
<li>Type: string</li>
<li>Required: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="cache-tmp-wait-time">--cache-tmp-wait-time</h4>
<p>How long should files be stored in local cache before being
uploaded.</p>
<p>This is the duration that a file must wait in the temporary location
<em>cache-tmp-upload-path</em> before it is selected for upload.</p>
<p>Note that only one file is uploaded at a time and it can take longer
to start the upload if a queue formed for this purpose.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: tmp_wait_time</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_CACHE_TMP_WAIT_TIME</li>
<li>Type: Duration</li>
<li>Default: 15s</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="cache-db-wait-time">--cache-db-wait-time</h4>
<p>How long to wait for the DB to be available - 0 is unlimited.</p>
<p>Only one process can have the DB open at any one time, so rclone
waits for this duration for the DB to become available before it gives
an error.</p>
<p>If you set it to 0 then it will wait forever.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: db_wait_time</li>

<h1 id="chunker">Chunker</h1>
<p>The <code>chunker</code> overlay transparently splits large files
into smaller chunks during upload to wrapped remote and transparently
assembles them back when the file is downloaded. This allows to
effectively overcome size limits imposed by storage providers.</p>
<h2 id="configuration-6">Configuration</h2>
<p>To use it, first set up the underlying remote following the
configuration instructions for that remote. You can also use a local
pathname instead of a remote.</p>
<p>First check your chosen remote is working - we'll call it
<code>remote:path</code> here. Note that anything inside
<code>remote:path</code> will be chunked and anything outside won't.
This means that if you are using a bucket-based remote (e.g. S3, B2,
swift) then you should probably put the bucket in the remote
<code>s3:bucket</code>.</p>
<p>Now configure <code>chunker</code> using <code>rclone config</code>.
We will call this one <code>overlay</code> to separate it from the
<code>remote</code> itself.</p>

<h3 id="specifying-the-remote">Specifying the remote</h3>
<p>In normal use, make sure the remote has a <code>:</code> in. If you
specify the remote without a <code>:</code> then rclone will use a local
directory of that name. So if you use a remote of
<code>/path/to/secret/files</code> then rclone will chunk stuff in that
directory. If you use a remote of <code>name</code> then rclone will put
files in a directory called <code>name</code> in the current
directory.</p>
<h3 id="chunking">Chunking</h3>
<p>When rclone starts a file upload, chunker checks the file size. If it
doesn't exceed the configured chunk size, chunker will just pass the
file to the wrapped remote (however, see caveat below). If a file is
large, chunker will transparently cut data in pieces with temporary
names and stream them one by one, on the fly. Each data chunk will
contain the specified number of bytes, except for the last one which may
have less data. If file size is unknown in advance (this is called a
streaming upload), chunker will internally create a temporary copy,
record its size and repeat the above process.</p>
<p>When upload completes, temporary chunk files are finally renamed.
This scheme guarantees that operations can be run in parallel and look
from outside as atomic. A similar method with hidden temporary chunks is
used for other operations (copy/move/rename, etc.). If an operation
fails, hidden chunks are normally destroyed, and the target composite
file stays intact.</p>
<p>When a composite file download is requested, chunker transparently
assembles it by concatenating data chunks in order. As the split is
trivial one could even manually concatenate data chunks together to
obtain the original content.</p>
<p>When the <code>list</code> rclone command scans a directory on
wrapped remote, the potential chunk files are accounted for, grouped and
assembled into composite directory entries. Any temporary chunks are
hidden.</p>
<p>List and other commands can sometimes come across composite files
with missing or invalid chunks, e.g. shadowed by like-named directory or
another file. This usually means that wrapped file system has been
directly tampered with or damaged. If chunker detects a missing chunk it
will by default print warning, skip the whole incomplete group of chunks
but proceed with current command. You can set the
<code>--chunker-fail-hard</code> flag to have commands abort with error
message in such cases.</p>
<p><strong>Caveat</strong>: As it is now, chunker will always create a
temporary file in the backend and then rename it, even if the file is
below the chunk threshold. This will result in unnecessary API calls and
can severely restrict throughput when handling transfers primarily
composed of small files on some backends (e.g. Box). A workaround to
this issue is to use chunker only for files above the chunk threshold
via <code>--min-size</code> and then perform a separate call without
chunker on the remaining files.</p>
<h4 id="chunk-names">Chunk names</h4>
<p>The default chunk name format is <code>*.rclone_chunk.###</code>,
hence by default chunk names are
<code>BIG_FILE_NAME.rclone_chunk.001</code>,
<code>BIG_FILE_NAME.rclone_chunk.002</code> etc. You can configure
another name format using the <code>name_format</code> configuration
file option. The format uses asterisk <code>*</code> as a placeholder
for the base file name and one or more consecutive hash characters
<code>#</code> as a placeholder for sequential chunk number. There must
be one and only one asterisk. The number of consecutive hash characters
defines the minimum length of a string representing a chunk number. If
decimal chunk number has less digits than the number of hashes, it is
left-padded by zeros. If the decimal string is longer, it is left
intact. By default numbering starts from 1 but there is another option
that allows user to start from 0, e.g. for compatibility with legacy
software.</p>
<p>For example, if name format is <code>big_*-##.part</code> and
original file name is <code>data.txt</code> and numbering starts from 0,
then the first chunk will be named <code>big_data.txt-00.part</code>,
the 99th chunk will be <code>big_data.txt-98.part</code> and the 302nd
chunk will become <code>big_data.txt-301.part</code>.</p>
<p>Note that <code>list</code> assembles composite directory entries
only when chunk names match the configured format and treats
non-conforming file names as normal non-chunked files.</p>
<p>When using <code>norename</code> transactions, chunk names will
additionally have a unique file version suffix. For example,
<code>BIG_FILE_NAME.rclone_chunk.001_bp562k</code>.</p>
<h3 id="metadata-4">Metadata</h3>
<p>Besides data chunks chunker will by default create metadata object
for a composite file. The object is named after the original file.
Chunker allows user to disable metadata completely (the
<code>none</code> format). Note that metadata is normally not created
for files smaller than the configured chunk size. This may change in
future rclone releases.</p>
<h4 id="simple-json-metadata-format">Simple JSON metadata format</h4>
<p>This is the default format. It supports hash sums and chunk
validation for composite files. Meta objects carry the following
fields:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>ver</code> - version of format, currently <code>1</code></li>
<li><code>size</code> - total size of composite file</li>
<li><code>nchunks</code> - number of data chunks in file</li>
<li><code>md5</code> - MD5 hashsum of composite file (if present)</li>
<li><code>sha1</code> - SHA1 hashsum (if present)</li>
<li><code>txn</code> - identifies current version of the file</li>
</ul>
<p>There is no field for composite file name as it's simply equal to the
name of meta object on the wrapped remote. Please refer to respective
sections for details on hashsums and modified time handling.</p>
<h4 id="no-metadata">No metadata</h4>
<p>You can disable meta objects by setting the meta format option to
<code>none</code>. In this mode chunker will scan directory for all
files that follow configured chunk name format, group them by detecting
chunks with the same base name and show group names as virtual composite
files. This method is more prone to missing chunk errors (especially
missing last chunk) than format with metadata enabled.</p>
<h3 id="hashsums">Hashsums</h3>
<p>Chunker supports hashsums only when a compatible metadata is present.
Hence, if you choose metadata format of <code>none</code>, chunker will
report hashsum as <code>UNSUPPORTED</code>.</p>
<p>Please note that by default metadata is stored only for composite
files. If a file is smaller than configured chunk size, chunker will
transparently redirect hash requests to wrapped remote, so support
depends on that. You will see the empty string as a hashsum of requested
type for small files if the wrapped remote doesn't support it.</p>
<p>Many storage backends support MD5 and SHA1 hash types, so does
chunker. With chunker you can choose one or another but not both. MD5 is
set by default as the most supported type. Since chunker keeps hashes
for composite files and falls back to the wrapped remote hash for
non-chunked ones, we advise you to choose the same hash type as
supported by wrapped remote so that your file listings look
coherent.</p>
<p>If your storage backend does not support MD5 or SHA1 but you need
consistent file hashing, configure chunker with <code>md5all</code> or
<code>sha1all</code>. These two modes guarantee given hash for all
files. If wrapped remote doesn't support it, chunker will then add
metadata to all files, even small. However, this can double the amount
of small files in storage and incur additional service charges. You can
even use chunker to force md5/sha1 support in any other remote at
expense of sidecar meta objects by setting e.g.
<code>hash_type=sha1all</code> to force hashsums and
<code>chunk_size=1P</code> to effectively disable chunking.</p>
<p>Normally, when a file is copied to chunker controlled remote, chunker
will ask the file source for compatible file hash and revert to
on-the-fly calculation if none is found. This involves some CPU overhead
but provides a guarantee that given hashsum is available. Also, chunker
will reject a server-side copy or move operation if source and
destination hashsum types are different resulting in the extra network
bandwidth, too. In some rare cases this may be undesired, so chunker
provides two optional choices: <code>sha1quick</code> and
<code>md5quick</code>. If the source does not support primary hash type
and the quick mode is enabled, chunker will try to fall back to the
secondary type. This will save CPU and bandwidth but can result in empty
hashsums at destination. Beware of consequences: the <code>sync</code>
command will revert (sometimes silently) to time/size comparison if
compatible hashsums between source and target are not found.</p>
<h3 id="modification-times-3">Modification times</h3>
<p>Chunker stores modification times using the wrapped remote so support
depends on that. For a small non-chunked file the chunker overlay simply
manipulates modification time of the wrapped remote file. For a
composite file with metadata chunker will get and set modification time
of the metadata object on the wrapped remote. If file is chunked but
metadata format is <code>none</code> then chunker will use modification
time of the first data chunk.</p>
<h3 id="migrations">Migrations</h3>
<p>The idiomatic way to migrate to a different chunk size, hash type,
transaction style or chunk naming scheme is to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Collect all your chunked files under a directory and have your
chunker remote point to it.</li>
<li>Create another directory (most probably on the same cloud storage)
and configure a new remote with desired metadata format, hash type,
chunk naming etc.</li>
<li>Now run <code>rclone sync --interactive oldchunks: newchunks:</code>
and all your data will be transparently converted in transfer. This may
take some time, yet chunker will try server-side copy if possible.</li>
<li>After checking data integrity you may remove configuration section
of the old remote.</li>
</ul>
<p>If rclone gets killed during a long operation on a big composite
file, hidden temporary chunks may stay in the directory. They will not
be shown by the <code>list</code> command but will eat up your account
quota. Please note that the <code>deletefile</code> command deletes only
active chunks of a file. As a workaround, you can use remote of the
wrapped file system to see them. An easy way to get rid of hidden
garbage is to copy littered directory somewhere using the chunker remote
and purge the original directory. The <code>copy</code> command will
copy only active chunks while the <code>purge</code> will remove
everything including garbage.</p>
<h3 id="caveats-and-limitations">Caveats and Limitations</h3>
<p>Chunker requires wrapped remote to support server-side
<code>move</code> (or <code>copy</code> + <code>delete</code>)
operations, otherwise it will explicitly refuse to start. This is
because it internally renames temporary chunk files to their final names
when an operation completes successfully.</p>
<p>Chunker encodes chunk number in file name, so with default
<code>name_format</code> setting it adds 17 characters. Also chunker
adds 7 characters of temporary suffix during operations. Many file
systems limit base file name without path by 255 characters. Using
rclone's crypt remote as a base file system limits file name by 143
characters. Thus, maximum name length is 231 for most files and 119 for
chunker-over-crypt. A user in need can change name format to e.g.
<code>*.rcc##</code> and save 10 characters (provided at most 99 chunks
per file).</p>
<p>Note that a move implemented using the copy-and-delete method may
incur double charging with some cloud storage providers.</p>
<p>Chunker will not automatically rename existing chunks when you run
<code>rclone config</code> on a live remote and change the chunk name
format. Beware that in result of this some files which have been treated
as chunks before the change can pop up in directory listings as normal
files and vice versa. The same warning holds for the chunk size. If you
desperately need to change critical chunking settings, you should run
data migration as described above.</p>
<p>If wrapped remote is case insensitive, the chunker overlay will
inherit that property (so you can't have a file called "Hello.doc" and
"hello.doc" in the same directory).</p>
<p>Chunker included in rclone releases up to <code>v1.54</code> can
sometimes fail to detect metadata produced by recent versions of rclone.
We recommend users to keep rclone up-to-date to avoid data
corruption.</p>
<p>Changing <code>transactions</code> is dangerous and requires explicit
migration.</p>

<p>See the <a href="https://rclone.org/remote_setup/">remote setup
docs</a> for how to set it up on a machine with no Internet browser
available.</p>
<p>Note that rclone runs a webserver on your local machine to collect
the token as returned from Citrix ShareFile. This only runs from the
moment it opens your browser to the moment you get back the verification
code. This is on <code>http://127.0.0.1:53682/</code> and this it may
require you to unblock it temporarily if you are running a host
firewall.</p>
<p>Once configured you can then use <code>rclone</code> like this,</p>
<p>List directories in top level of your ShareFile</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsd remote:</code></pre>
<p>List all the files in your ShareFile</p>
<pre><code>rclone ls remote:</code></pre>

<h3 id="modification-times-and-hashes-3">Modification times and
hashes</h3>
<p>ShareFile allows modification times to be set on objects accurate to
1 second. These will be used to detect whether objects need syncing or
not.</p>
<p>ShareFile supports MD5 type hashes, so you can use the
<code>--checksum</code> flag.</p>
<h3 id="transfers-2">Transfers</h3>
<p>For files above 128 MiB rclone will use a chunked transfer. Rclone
will upload up to <code>--transfers</code> chunks at the same time
(shared among all the multipart uploads). Chunks are buffered in memory
and are normally 64 MiB so increasing <code>--transfers</code> will
increase memory use.</p>

href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_about/">rclone about</a></p>
<h1 id="crypt">Crypt</h1>
<p>Rclone <code>crypt</code> remotes encrypt and decrypt other
remotes.</p>
<p>A remote of type <code>crypt</code> does not access a <a
href="https://rclone.org/overview/">storage system</a> directly, but
instead wraps another remote, which in turn accesses the storage system.
This is similar to how <a href="https://rclone.org/alias/">alias</a>, <a
href="https://rclone.org/union/">union</a>, <a
href="https://rclone.org/chunker/">chunker</a> and a few others work. It
makes the usage very flexible, as you can add a layer, in this case an
encryption layer, on top of any other backend, even in multiple layers.
Rclone's functionality can be used as with any other remote, for example
you can <a href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_mount/">mount</a> a
crypt remote.</p>
<p>Accessing a storage system through a crypt remote realizes
client-side encryption, which makes it safe to keep your data in a
location you do not trust will not get compromised. When working against
the <code>crypt</code> remote, rclone will automatically encrypt (before
uploading) and decrypt (after downloading) on your local system as
needed on the fly, leaving the data encrypted at rest in the wrapped
remote. If you access the storage system using an application other than
rclone, or access the wrapped remote directly using rclone, there will
not be any encryption/decryption: Downloading existing content will just
give you the encrypted (scrambled) format, and anything you upload will
<em>not</em> become encrypted.</p>
<p>The encryption is a secret-key encryption (also called symmetric key
encryption) algorithm, where a password (or pass phrase) is used to
generate real encryption key. The password can be supplied by user, or
you may chose to let rclone generate one. It will be stored in the
configuration file, in a lightly obscured form. If you are in an
environment where you are not able to keep your configuration secured,
you should add <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#configuration-encryption">configuration
encryption</a> as protection. As long as you have this configuration
file, you will be able to decrypt your data. Without the configuration
file, as long as you remember the password (or keep it in a safe place),
you can re-create the configuration and gain access to the existing
data. You may also configure a corresponding remote in a different
installation to access the same data. See below for guidance to <a
href="#changing-password">changing password</a>.</p>
<p>Encryption uses <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_(cryptography)">cryptographic
salt</a>, to permute the encryption key so that the same string may be
encrypted in different ways. When configuring the crypt remote it is
optional to enter a salt, or to let rclone generate a unique salt. If
omitted, rclone uses a built-in unique string. Normally in cryptography,
the salt is stored together with the encrypted content, and do not have
to be memorized by the user. This is not the case in rclone, because
rclone does not store any additional information on the remotes. Use of
custom salt is effectively a second password that must be memorized.</p>
<p><a href="#file-encryption">File content</a> encryption is performed
using <a
href="https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/crypto/nacl/secretbox">NaCl
SecretBox</a>, based on XSalsa20 cipher and Poly1305 for integrity. <a
href="#name-encryption">Names</a> (file- and directory names) are also
encrypted by default, but this has some implications and is therefore
possible to be turned off.</p>
<h2 id="configuration-8">Configuration</h2>
<p>Here is an example of how to make a remote called
<code>secret</code>.</p>
<p>To use <code>crypt</code>, first set up the underlying remote. Follow
the <code>rclone config</code> instructions for the specific
backend.</p>
<p>Before configuring the crypt remote, check the underlying remote is
working. In this example the underlying remote is called
<code>remote</code>. We will configure a path <code>path</code> within
this remote to contain the encrypted content. Anything inside
<code>remote:path</code> will be encrypted and anything outside will
not.</p>
<p>Configure <code>crypt</code> using <code>rclone config</code>. In
this example the <code>crypt</code> remote is called
<code>secret</code>, to differentiate it from the underlying
<code>remote</code>.</p>
<p>When you are done you can use the crypt remote named
<code>secret</code> just as you would with any other remote, e.g.
<code>rclone copy D:\docs secret:\docs</code>, and rclone will encrypt
and decrypt as needed on the fly. If you access the wrapped remote
<code>remote:path</code> directly you will bypass the encryption, and
anything you read will be in encrypted form, and anything you write will
be unencrypted. To avoid issues it is best to configure a dedicated path
for encrypted content, and access it exclusively through a crypt
remote.</p>

<p><strong>Important</strong> The crypt password stored in
<code>rclone.conf</code> is lightly obscured. That only protects it from
cursory inspection. It is not secure unless <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#configuration-encryption">configuration
encryption</a> of <code>rclone.conf</code> is specified.</p>
<p>A long passphrase is recommended, or <code>rclone config</code> can
generate a random one.</p>
<p>The obscured password is created using AES-CTR with a static key. The
IV (nonce) is stored verbatim at the beginning of the obscured password.
This static key is shared between all versions of rclone.</p>
<p>If you reconfigure rclone with the same passwords/passphrases
elsewhere it will be compatible, but the obscured version will be
different due to the different salt.</p>
<p>Rclone does not encrypt</p>
<ul>
<li>file length - this can be calculated within 16 bytes</li>
<li>modification time - used for syncing</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="specifying-the-remote-1">Specifying the remote</h3>
<p>When configuring the remote to encrypt/decrypt, you may specify any
string that rclone accepts as a source/destination of other
commands.</p>
<p>The primary use case is to specify the path into an already
configured remote (e.g. <code>remote:path/to/dir</code> or
<code>remote:bucket</code>), such that data in a remote untrusted
location can be stored encrypted.</p>
<p>You may also specify a local filesystem path, such as
<code>/path/to/dir</code> on Linux, <code>C:\path\to\dir</code> on
Windows. By creating a crypt remote pointing to such a local filesystem
path, you can use rclone as a utility for pure local file encryption,
for example to keep encrypted files on a removable USB drive.</p>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: A string which do not contain a <code>:</code>
will by rclone be treated as a relative path in the local filesystem.
For example, if you enter the name <code>remote</code> without the
trailing <code>:</code>, it will be treated as a subdirectory of the
current directory with name "remote".</p>
<p>If a path <code>remote:path/to/dir</code> is specified, rclone stores
encrypted files in <code>path/to/dir</code> on the remote. With file
name encryption, files saved to <code>secret:subdir/subfile</code> are
stored in the unencrypted path <code>path/to/dir</code> but the
<code>subdir/subpath</code> element is encrypted.</p>
<p>The path you specify does not have to exist, rclone will create it
when needed.</p>
<p>If you intend to use the wrapped remote both directly for keeping
unencrypted content, as well as through a crypt remote for encrypted
content, it is recommended to point the crypt remote to a separate
directory within the wrapped remote. If you use a bucket-based storage
system (e.g. Swift, S3, Google Compute Storage, B2) it is generally
advisable to wrap the crypt remote around a specific bucket
(<code>s3:bucket</code>). If wrapping around the entire root of the
storage (<code>s3:</code>), and use the optional file name encryption,
rclone will encrypt the bucket name.</p>
<h3 id="changing-password">Changing password</h3>
<p>Should the password, or the configuration file containing a lightly
obscured form of the password, be compromised, you need to re-encrypt
your data with a new password. Since rclone uses secret-key encryption,
where the encryption key is generated directly from the password kept on
the client, it is not possible to change the password/key of already
encrypted content. Just changing the password configured for an existing
crypt remote means you will no longer able to decrypt any of the
previously encrypted content. The only possibility is to re-upload
everything via a crypt remote configured with your new password.</p>
<p>Depending on the size of your data, your bandwidth, storage quota
etc, there are different approaches you can take: - If you have
everything in a different location, for example on your local system,
you could remove all of the prior encrypted files, change the password
for your configured crypt remote (or delete and re-create the crypt
configuration), and then re-upload everything from the alternative
location. - If you have enough space on the storage system you can
create a new crypt remote pointing to a separate directory on the same
backend, and then use rclone to copy everything from the original crypt
remote to the new, effectively decrypting everything on the fly using
the old password and re-encrypting using the new password. When done,
delete the original crypt remote directory and finally the rclone crypt
configuration with the old password. All data will be streamed from the
storage system and back, so you will get half the bandwidth and be
charged twice if you have upload and download quota on the storage
system.</p>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: A security problem related to the random
password generator was fixed in rclone version 1.53.3 (released
2020-11-19). Passwords generated by rclone config in version 1.49.0
(released 2019-08-26) to 1.53.2 (released 2020-10-26) are not considered
secure and should be changed. If you made up your own password, or used
rclone version older than 1.49.0 or newer than 1.53.2 to generate it,
you are <em>not</em> affected by this issue. See <a
href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/4783">issue #4783</a> for
more details, and a tool you can use to check if you are affected.</p>
<h3 id="example">Example</h3>
<p>Create the following file structure using "standard" file name
encryption.</p>
<pre><code>plaintext/
├── file0.txt
├── file1.txt
└── subdir
├── file2.txt
├── file3.txt
└── subsubdir
└── file4.txt</code></pre>
<p>Copy these to the remote, and list them</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone -q copy plaintext secret:
$ rclone -q ls secret:
7 file1.txt
6 file0.txt
8 subdir/file2.txt
10 subdir/subsubdir/file4.txt
9 subdir/file3.txt</code></pre>
<p>The crypt remote looks like</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone -q ls remote:path
55 hagjclgavj2mbiqm6u6cnjjqcg
54 v05749mltvv1tf4onltun46gls
57 86vhrsv86mpbtd3a0akjuqslj8/dlj7fkq4kdq72emafg7a7s41uo
58 86vhrsv86mpbtd3a0akjuqslj8/7uu829995du6o42n32otfhjqp4/b9pausrfansjth5ob3jkdqd4lc
56 86vhrsv86mpbtd3a0akjuqslj8/8njh1sk437gttmep3p70g81aps</code></pre>
<p>The directory structure is preserved</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone -q ls secret:subdir
8 file2.txt
9 file3.txt
10 subsubdir/file4.txt</code></pre>
<p>Without file name encryption <code>.bin</code> extensions are added
to underlying names. This prevents the cloud provider attempting to
interpret file content.</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone -q ls remote:path
54 file0.txt.bin
57 subdir/file3.txt.bin
56 subdir/file2.txt.bin
58 subdir/subsubdir/file4.txt.bin
55 file1.txt.bin</code></pre>
<h3 id="file-name-encryption-modes">File name encryption modes</h3>
<p>Off</p>
<ul>
<li>doesn't hide file names or directory structure</li>
<li>allows for longer file names (~246 characters)</li>
<li>can use sub paths and copy single files</li>
</ul>
<p>Standard</p>
<ul>
<li>file names encrypted</li>
<li>file names can't be as long (~143 characters)</li>
<li>can use sub paths and copy single files</li>
<li>directory structure visible</li>
<li>identical files names will have identical uploaded names</li>
<li>can use shortcuts to shorten the directory recursion</li>
</ul>
<p>Obfuscation</p>
<p>This is a simple "rotate" of the filename, with each file having a
rot distance based on the filename. Rclone stores the distance at the
beginning of the filename. A file called "hello" may become
"53.jgnnq".</p>
<p>Obfuscation is not a strong encryption of filenames, but hinders
automated scanning tools picking up on filename patterns. It is an
intermediate between "off" and "standard" which allows for longer path
segment names.</p>
<p>There is a possibility with some unicode based filenames that the
obfuscation is weak and may map lower case characters to upper case
equivalents.</p>
<p>Obfuscation cannot be relied upon for strong protection.</p>
<ul>
<li>file names very lightly obfuscated</li>
<li>file names can be longer than standard encryption</li>
<li>can use sub paths and copy single files</li>
<li>directory structure visible</li>
<li>identical files names will have identical uploaded names</li>
</ul>
<p>Cloud storage systems have limits on file name length and total path
length which rclone is more likely to breach using "Standard" file name
encryption. Where file names are 143 or fewer characters in length
issues should not be encountered, irrespective of cloud storage
provider.</p>
<p>An experimental advanced option <code>filename_encoding</code> is now
provided to address this problem to a certain degree. For cloud storage
systems with case sensitive file names (e.g. Google Drive),
<code>base64</code> can be used to reduce file name length. For cloud
storage systems using UTF-16 to store file names internally (e.g.
OneDrive, Dropbox, Box), <code>base32768</code> can be used to
drastically reduce file name length.</p>
<p>An alternative, future rclone file name encryption mode may tolerate
backend provider path length limits.</p>
<h3 id="directory-name-encryption">Directory name encryption</h3>
<p>Crypt offers the option of encrypting dir names or leaving them
intact. There are two options:</p>
<p>True</p>
<p>Encrypts the whole file path including directory names Example:
<code>1/12/123.txt</code> is encrypted to
<code>p0e52nreeaj0a5ea7s64m4j72s/l42g6771hnv3an9cgc8cr2n1ng/qgm4avr35m5loi1th53ato71v0</code></p>
<p>False</p>
<p>Only encrypts file names, skips directory names Example:
<code>1/12/123.txt</code> is encrypted to
<code>1/12/qgm4avr35m5loi1th53ato71v0</code></p>
<h3 id="modification-times-and-hashes-4">Modification times and
hashes</h3>
<p>Crypt stores modification times using the underlying remote so
support depends on that.</p>
<p>Hashes are not stored for crypt. However the data integrity is
protected by an extremely strong crypto authenticator.</p>
<p>Use the <code>rclone cryptcheck</code> command to check the integrity
of an encrypted remote instead of <code>rclone check</code> which can't
check the checksums properly.</p>
<h3 id="standard-options-8">Standard options</h3>
<p>Here are the Standard options specific to crypt (Encrypt/Decrypt a

<p>Option to either encrypt directory names or leave them intact.</p>
<p>NB If filename_encryption is "off" then this option will do
nothing.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>

<h3 id="advanced-options-8">Advanced options</h3>
<p>Here are the Advanced options specific to crypt (Encrypt/Decrypt a
remote).</p>
<h4
id="crypt-server-side-across-configs">--crypt-server-side-across-configs</h4>
<p>Deprecated: use --server-side-across-configs instead.</p>
<p>Allow server-side operations (e.g. copy) to work across different
crypt configs.</p>
<p>Normally this option is not what you want, but if you have two crypts
pointing to the same backend you can use it.</p>
<p>This can be used, for example, to change file name encryption type
without re-uploading all the data. Just make two crypt backends pointing
to two different directories with the single changed parameter and use
rclone move to move the files between the crypt remotes.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: server_side_across_configs</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_CRYPT_SERVER_SIDE_ACROSS_CONFIGS</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="crypt-show-mapping">--crypt-show-mapping</h4>
<p>For all files listed show how the names encrypt.</p>
<p>If this flag is set then for each file that the remote is asked to
list, it will log (at level INFO) a line stating the decrypted file name
and the encrypted file name.</p>
<p>This is so you can work out which encrypted names are which decrypted
names just in case you need to do something with the encrypted file
names, or for debugging purposes.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: show_mapping</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_CRYPT_SHOW_MAPPING</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="crypt-no-data-encryption">--crypt-no-data-encryption</h4>
<p>Option to either encrypt file data or leave it unencrypted.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: no_data_encryption</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_CRYPT_NO_DATA_ENCRYPTION</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>

<ul>
<li>Encrypt file data.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<h4 id="crypt-pass-bad-blocks">--crypt-pass-bad-blocks</h4>
<p>If set this will pass bad blocks through as all 0.</p>
<p>This should not be set in normal operation, it should only be set if
trying to recover an encrypted file with errors and it is desired to
recover as much of the file as possible.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: pass_bad_blocks</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_CRYPT_PASS_BAD_BLOCKS</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="crypt-strict-names">--crypt-strict-names</h4>
<p>If set, this will raise an error when crypt comes across a filename
that can't be decrypted.</p>
<p>(By default, rclone will just log a NOTICE and continue as normal.)
This can happen if encrypted and unencrypted files are stored in the
same directory (which is not recommended.) It may also indicate a more
serious problem that should be investigated.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: strict_names</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_CRYPT_STRICT_NAMES</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="crypt-filename-encoding">--crypt-filename-encoding</h4>
<p>How to encode the encrypted filename to text string.</p>
<p>This option could help with shortening the encrypted filename. The
suitable option would depend on the way your remote count the filename
length and if it's case sensitive.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: filename_encoding</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_CRYPT_FILENAME_ENCODING</li>
<li>Type: string</li>
<li>Default: "base32"</li>
<li>Examples:
<ul>
<li>"base32"
<ul>
<li>Encode using base32. Suitable for all remote.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>"base64"
<ul>
<li>Encode using base64. Suitable for case sensitive remote.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>"base32768"
<ul>
<li>Encode using base32768. Suitable if your remote counts UTF-16
or</li>
<li>Unicode codepoint instead of UTF-8 byte length. (Eg. Onedrive,
Dropbox)</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<h4 id="crypt-suffix">--crypt-suffix</h4>
<p>If this is set it will override the default suffix of ".bin".</p>
<p>Setting suffix to "none" will result in an empty suffix. This may be
useful when the path length is critical.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: suffix</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_CRYPT_SUFFIX</li>
<li>Type: string</li>
<li>Default: ".bin"</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="crypt-description">--crypt-description</h4>
<p>Description of the remote.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: description</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_CRYPT_DESCRIPTION</li>
<li>Type: string</li>
<li>Required: false</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="metadata-5">Metadata</h3>
<p>Any metadata supported by the underlying remote is read and
written.</p>
<p>See the <a href="https://rclone.org/docs/#metadata">metadata</a> docs
for more info.</p>
<h2 id="backend-commands-3">Backend commands</h2>
<p>Here are the commands specific to the crypt backend.</p>
<p>Run them with</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend COMMAND remote:</code></pre>
<p>The help below will explain what arguments each command takes.</p>
<p>See the <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_backend/">backend</a> command
for more info on how to pass options and arguments.</p>
<p>These can be run on a running backend using the rc command <a
href="https://rclone.org/rc/#backend-command">backend/command</a>.</p>
<h3 id="encode">encode</h3>
<p>Encode the given filename(s)</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend encode remote: [options] [&lt;arguments&gt;+]</code></pre>
<p>This encodes the filenames given as arguments returning a list of
strings of the encoded results.</p>
<p>Usage Example:</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend encode crypt: file1 [file2...]
rclone rc backend/command command=encode fs=crypt: file1 [file2...]</code></pre>
<h3 id="decode">decode</h3>
<p>Decode the given filename(s)</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend decode remote: [options] [&lt;arguments&gt;+]</code></pre>
<p>This decodes the filenames given as arguments returning a list of
strings of the decoded results. It will return an error if any of the
inputs are invalid.</p>
<p>Usage Example:</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend decode crypt: encryptedfile1 [encryptedfile2...]
rclone rc backend/command command=decode fs=crypt: encryptedfile1 [encryptedfile2...]</code></pre>
<h2 id="backing-up-an-encrypted-remote">Backing up an encrypted
remote</h2>
<p>If you wish to backup an encrypted remote, it is recommended that you
use <code>rclone sync</code> on the encrypted files, and make sure the
passwords are the same in the new encrypted remote.</p>
<p>This will have the following advantages</p>
<ul>
<li><code>rclone sync</code> will check the checksums while copying</li>
<li>you can use <code>rclone check</code> between the encrypted
remotes</li>
<li>you don't decrypt and encrypt unnecessarily</li>
</ul>
<p>For example, let's say you have your original remote at
<code>remote:</code> with the encrypted version at <code>eremote:</code>
with path <code>remote:crypt</code>. You would then set up the new
remote <code>remote2:</code> and then the encrypted version
<code>eremote2:</code> with path <code>remote2:crypt</code> using the
same passwords as <code>eremote:</code>.</p>
<p>To sync the two remotes you would do</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync --interactive remote:crypt remote2:crypt</code></pre>
<p>And to check the integrity you would do</p>
<pre><code>rclone check remote:crypt remote2:crypt</code></pre>
<h2 id="file-formats">File formats</h2>
<h3 id="file-encryption">File encryption</h3>
<p>Files are encrypted 1:1 source file to destination object. The file
has a header and is divided into chunks.</p>
<h4 id="header-1">Header</h4>
<ul>
<li>8 bytes magic string <code>RCLONE\x00\x00</code></li>
<li>24 bytes Nonce (IV)</li>
</ul>
<p>The initial nonce is generated from the operating systems crypto
strong random number generator. The nonce is incremented for each chunk
read making sure each nonce is unique for each block written. The chance
of a nonce being reused is minuscule. If you wrote an exabyte of data
(10¹⁸ bytes) you would have a probability of approximately 2×10⁻³² of
re-using a nonce.</p>
<h4 id="chunk">Chunk</h4>
<p>Each chunk will contain 64 KiB of data, except for the last one which
may have less data. The data chunk is in standard NaCl SecretBox format.
SecretBox uses XSalsa20 and Poly1305 to encrypt and authenticate
messages.</p>
<p>Each chunk contains:</p>
<ul>
<li>16 Bytes of Poly1305 authenticator</li>
<li>1 - 65536 bytes XSalsa20 encrypted data</li>
</ul>
<p>64k chunk size was chosen as the best performing chunk size (the
authenticator takes too much time below this and the performance drops
off due to cache effects above this). Note that these chunks are
buffered in memory so they can't be too big.</p>
<p>This uses a 32 byte (256 bit key) key derived from the user
password.</p>
<h4 id="examples-1">Examples</h4>
<p>1 byte file will encrypt to</p>
<ul>
<li>32 bytes header</li>
<li>17 bytes data chunk</li>
</ul>
<p>49 bytes total</p>
<p>1 MiB (1048576 bytes) file will encrypt to</p>
<ul>
<li>32 bytes header</li>
<li>16 chunks of 65568 bytes</li>
</ul>
<p>1049120 bytes total (a 0.05% overhead). This is the overhead for big
files.</p>
<h3 id="name-encryption">Name encryption</h3>
<p>File names are encrypted segment by segment - the path is broken up
into <code>/</code> separated strings and these are encrypted
individually.</p>
<p>File segments are padded using PKCS#7 to a multiple of 16 bytes
before encryption.</p>
<p>They are then encrypted with EME using AES with 256 bit key. EME
(ECB-Mix-ECB) is a wide-block encryption mode presented in the 2003
paper "A Parallelizable Enciphering Mode" by Halevi and Rogaway.</p>
<p>This makes for deterministic encryption which is what we want - the
same filename must encrypt to the same thing otherwise we can't find it
on the cloud storage system.</p>
<p>This means that</p>
<ul>
<li>filenames with the same name will encrypt the same</li>
<li>filenames which start the same won't have a common prefix</li>
</ul>
<p>This uses a 32 byte key (256 bits) and a 16 byte (128 bits) IV both
of which are derived from the user password.</p>
<p>After encryption they are written out using a modified version of
standard <code>base32</code> encoding as described in RFC4648. The
standard encoding is modified in two ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>it becomes lower case (no-one likes upper case filenames!)</li>
<li>we strip the padding character <code>=</code></li>
</ul>
<p><code>base32</code> is used rather than the more efficient
<code>base64</code> so rclone can be used on case insensitive remotes
(e.g. Windows, Box, Dropbox, Onedrive etc).</p>
<h3 id="key-derivation">Key derivation</h3>
<p>Rclone uses <code>scrypt</code> with parameters
<code>N=16384, r=8, p=1</code> with an optional user supplied salt
(password2) to derive the 32+32+16 = 80 bytes of key material required.
If the user doesn't supply a salt then rclone uses an internal one.</p>
<p><code>scrypt</code> makes it impractical to mount a dictionary attack
on rclone encrypted data. For full protection against this you should
always use a salt.</p>

<h3 id="compression-modes">Compression Modes</h3>
<p>Currently only gzip compression is supported. It provides a decent
balance between speed and size and is well supported by other
applications. Compression strength can further be configured via an
advanced setting where 0 is no compression and 9 is strongest
compression.</p>
<h3 id="file-types">File types</h3>
<p>If you open a remote wrapped by compress, you will see that there are
many files with an extension corresponding to the compression algorithm
you chose. These files are standard files that can be opened by various
archive programs, but they have some hidden metadata that allows them to
be used by rclone. While you may download and decompress these files at
will, do <strong>not</strong> manually delete or rename files. Files
without correct metadata files will not be recognized by rclone.</p>
<h3 id="file-names">File names</h3>
<p>The compressed files will be named <code>*.###########.gz</code>
where <code>*</code> is the base file and the <code>#</code> part is
base64 encoded size of the uncompressed file. The file names should not
be changed by anything other than the rclone compression backend.</p>

<h4 id="compress-level">--compress-level</h4>
<p>GZIP compression level (-2 to 9).</p>
<p>Generally -1 (default, equivalent to 5) is recommended. Levels 1 to 9
increase compression at the cost of speed. Going past 6 generally offers
very little return.</p>

<h4 id="compress-ram-cache-limit">--compress-ram-cache-limit</h4>
<p>Some remotes don't allow the upload of files with unknown size. In
this case the compressed file will need to be cached to determine it's
size.</p>

<h1 id="combine">Combine</h1>
<p>The <code>combine</code> backend joins remotes together into a single
directory tree.</p>
<p>For example you might have a remote for images on one provider:</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone tree s3:imagesbucket
/
├── image1.jpg
└── image2.jpg</code></pre>
<p>And a remote for files on another:</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone tree drive:important/files
/
├── file1.txt
└── file2.txt</code></pre>
<p>The <code>combine</code> backend can join these together into a
synthetic directory structure like this:</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone tree combined:
/
├── files
│ ├── file1.txt
│ └── file2.txt
└── images
├── image1.jpg
└── image2.jpg</code></pre>
<p>You'd do this by specifying an <code>upstreams</code> parameter in
the config like this</p>
<pre><code>upstreams = images=s3:imagesbucket files=drive:important/files</code></pre>
<p>During the initial setup with <code>rclone config</code> you will
specify the upstreams remotes as a space separated list. The upstream
remotes can either be a local paths or other remotes.</p>
<h2 id="configuration-10">Configuration</h2>
<p>Here is an example of how to make a combine called
<code>remote</code> for the example above. First run:</p>
<pre><code> rclone config</code></pre>
<p>This will guide you through an interactive setup process:</p>

<h3 id="configuring-for-google-drive-shared-drives">Configuring for
Google Drive Shared Drives</h3>
<p>Rclone has a convenience feature for making a combine backend for all
the shared drives you have access to.</p>
<p>Assuming your main (non shared drive) Google drive remote is called
<code>drive:</code> you would run</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend -o config drives drive:</code></pre>
<p>This would produce something like this:</p>
<pre><code>[My Drive]
type = alias
remote = drive,team_drive=0ABCDEF-01234567890,root_folder_id=:
[Test Drive]
type = alias
remote = drive,team_drive=0ABCDEFabcdefghijkl,root_folder_id=:
[AllDrives]
type = combine
upstreams = &quot;My Drive=My Drive:&quot; &quot;Test Drive=Test Drive:&quot;</code></pre>
<p>If you then add that config to your config file (find it with
<code>rclone config file</code>) then you can access all the shared
drives in one place with the <code>AllDrives:</code> remote.</p>
<p>See <a href="https://rclone.org/drive/#drives">the Google Drive

<p>See the <a href="https://rclone.org/remote_setup/">remote setup

<p>Note that rclone runs a webserver on your local machine to collect
the token as returned from Dropbox. This only runs from the moment it
opens your browser to the moment you get back the verification code.
This is on <code>http://127.0.0.1:53682/</code> and it may require you
to unblock it temporarily if you are running a host firewall, or use
manual mode.</p>
<p>You can then use it like this,</p>
<p>List directories in top level of your dropbox</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsd remote:</code></pre>
<p>List all the files in your dropbox</p>
<pre><code>rclone ls remote:</code></pre>

<pre><code>rclone copy /home/source remote:backup</code></pre>
<h3 id="dropbox-for-business">Dropbox for business</h3>
<p>Rclone supports Dropbox for business and Team Folders.</p>
<p>When using Dropbox for business <code>remote:</code> and
<code>remote:path/to/file</code> will refer to your personal folder.</p>
<p>If you wish to see Team Folders you must use a leading <code>/</code>
in the path, so <code>rclone lsd remote:/</code> will refer to the root
and show you all Team Folders and your User Folder.</p>
<p>You can then use team folders like this
<code>remote:/TeamFolder</code> and
<code>remote:/TeamFolder/path/to/file</code>.</p>
<p>A leading <code>/</code> for a Dropbox personal account will do
nothing, but it will take an extra HTTP transaction so it should be
avoided.</p>
<h3 id="modification-times-and-hashes-5">Modification times and
hashes</h3>
<p>Dropbox supports modified times, but the only way to set a
modification time is to re-upload the file.</p>
<p>This means that if you uploaded your data with an older version of
rclone which didn't support the v2 API and modified times, rclone will
decide to upload all your old data to fix the modification times. If you
don't want this to happen use <code>--size-only</code> or
<code>--checksum</code> flag to stop it.</p>
<p>Dropbox supports <a
href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/content-hash">its own
hash type</a> which is checked for all transfers.</p>

<h3 id="batch-mode">Batch mode uploads</h3>
<p>Using batch mode uploads is very important for performance when using
the Dropbox API. See <a
href="https://developers.dropbox.com/dbx-performance-guide">the dropbox
performance guide</a> for more info.</p>
<p>There are 3 modes rclone can use for uploads.</p>
<h4 id="dropbox-batch-mode-off">--dropbox-batch-mode off</h4>
<p>In this mode rclone will not use upload batching. This was the
default before rclone v1.55. It has the disadvantage that it is very
likely to encounter <code>too_many_requests</code> errors like this</p>
<pre><code>NOTICE: too_many_requests/.: Too many requests or write operations. Trying again in 15 seconds.</code></pre>
<p>When rclone receives these it has to wait for 15s or sometimes 300s
before continuing which really slows down transfers.</p>
<p>This will happen especially if <code>--transfers</code> is large, so
this mode isn't recommended except for compatibility or investigating
problems.</p>
<h4 id="dropbox-batch-mode-sync">--dropbox-batch-mode sync</h4>
<p>In this mode rclone will batch up uploads to the size specified by
<code>--dropbox-batch-size</code> and commit them together.</p>
<p>Using this mode means you can use a much higher
<code>--transfers</code> parameter (32 or 64 works fine) without
receiving <code>too_many_requests</code> errors.</p>
<p>This mode ensures full data integrity.</p>
<p>Note that there may be a pause when quitting rclone while rclone
finishes up the last batch using this mode.</p>
<h4 id="dropbox-batch-mode-async">--dropbox-batch-mode async</h4>
<p>In this mode rclone will batch up uploads to the size specified by
<code>--dropbox-batch-size</code> and commit them together.</p>
<p>However it will not wait for the status of the batch to be returned
to the caller. This means rclone can use a much bigger batch size (much
bigger than <code>--transfers</code>), at the cost of not being able to
check the status of the upload.</p>
<p>This provides the maximum possible upload speed especially with lots
of small files, however rclone can't check the file got uploaded
properly using this mode.</p>
<p>If you are using this mode then using "rclone check" after the
transfer completes is recommended. Or you could do an initial transfer
with <code>--dropbox-batch-mode async</code> then do a final transfer
with <code>--dropbox-batch-mode sync</code> (the default).</p>
<p>Note that there may be a pause when quitting rclone while rclone
finishes up the last batch using this mode.</p>
<h3 id="standard-options-11">Standard options</h3>
<p>Here are the Standard options specific to dropbox (Dropbox).</p>
<h4 id="dropbox-client-id">--dropbox-client-id</h4>

<li>Type: string</li>
<li>Required: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="dropbox-chunk-size">--dropbox-chunk-size</h4>
<p>Upload chunk size (&lt; 150Mi).</p>
<p>Any files larger than this will be uploaded in chunks of this
size.</p>
<p>Note that chunks are buffered in memory (one at a time) so rclone can
deal with retries. Setting this larger will increase the speed slightly
(at most 10% for 128 MiB in tests) at the cost of using more memory. It
can be set smaller if you are tight on memory.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: chunk_size</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_DROPBOX_CHUNK_SIZE</li>
<li>Type: SizeSuffix</li>
<li>Default: 48Mi</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="dropbox-impersonate">--dropbox-impersonate</h4>
<p>Impersonate this user when using a business account.</p>
<p>Note that if you want to use impersonate, you should make sure this
flag is set when running "rclone config" as this will cause rclone to
request the "members.read" scope which it won't normally. This is needed
to lookup a members email address into the internal ID that dropbox uses
in the API.</p>
<p>Using the "members.read" scope will require a Dropbox Team Admin to
approve during the OAuth flow.</p>
<p>You will have to use your own App (setting your own client_id and
client_secret) to use this option as currently rclone's default set of
permissions doesn't include "members.read". This can be added once v1.55
or later is in use everywhere.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: impersonate</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_DROPBOX_IMPERSONATE</li>
<li>Type: string</li>
<li>Required: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="dropbox-shared-files">--dropbox-shared-files</h4>
<p>Instructs rclone to work on individual shared files.</p>
<p>In this mode rclone's features are extremely limited - only list (ls,
lsl, etc.) operations and read operations (e.g. downloading) are
supported in this mode. All other operations will be disabled.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: shared_files</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_DROPBOX_SHARED_FILES</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="dropbox-shared-folders">--dropbox-shared-folders</h4>
<p>Instructs rclone to work on shared folders.</p>
<p>When this flag is used with no path only the List operation is
supported and all available shared folders will be listed. If you
specify a path the first part will be interpreted as the name of shared
folder. Rclone will then try to mount this shared to the root namespace.
On success shared folder rclone proceeds normally. The shared folder is
now pretty much a normal folder and all normal operations are
supported.</p>
<p>Note that we don't unmount the shared folder afterwards so the
--dropbox-shared-folders can be omitted after the first use of a
particular shared folder.</p>
<p>See also --dropbox-root-namespace for an alternative way to work with
shared folders.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: shared_folders</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_DROPBOX_SHARED_FOLDERS</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>

<li>Default: Slash,BackSlash,Del,RightSpace,InvalidUtf8,Dot</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="dropbox-root-namespace">--dropbox-root-namespace</h4>
<p>Specify a different Dropbox namespace ID to use as the root for all
paths.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: root_namespace</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_DROPBOX_ROOT_NAMESPACE</li>
<li>Type: string</li>
<li>Required: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="dropbox-batch-mode">--dropbox-batch-mode</h4>
<p>Upload file batching sync|async|off.</p>
<p>This sets the batch mode used by rclone.</p>
<p>For full info see <a
href="https://rclone.org/dropbox/#batch-mode">the main docs</a></p>
<p>This has 3 possible values</p>
<ul>
<li>off - no batching</li>
<li>sync - batch uploads and check completion (default)</li>
<li>async - batch upload and don't check completion</li>
</ul>
<p>Rclone will close any outstanding batches when it exits which may
make a delay on quit.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: batch_mode</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_DROPBOX_BATCH_MODE</li>
<li>Type: string</li>
<li>Default: "sync"</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="dropbox-batch-size">--dropbox-batch-size</h4>
<p>Max number of files in upload batch.</p>
<p>This sets the batch size of files to upload. It has to be less than
1000.</p>
<p>By default this is 0 which means rclone will calculate the batch size
depending on the setting of batch_mode.</p>
<ul>
<li>batch_mode: async - default batch_size is 100</li>
<li>batch_mode: sync - default batch_size is the same as
--transfers</li>
<li>batch_mode: off - not in use</li>
</ul>
<p>Rclone will close any outstanding batches when it exits which may
make a delay on quit.</p>
<p>Setting this is a great idea if you are uploading lots of small files
as it will make them a lot quicker. You can use --transfers 32 to
maximise throughput.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: batch_size</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_DROPBOX_BATCH_SIZE</li>
<li>Type: int</li>
<li>Default: 0</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="dropbox-batch-timeout">--dropbox-batch-timeout</h4>
<p>Max time to allow an idle upload batch before uploading.</p>
<p>If an upload batch is idle for more than this long then it will be
uploaded.</p>
<p>The default for this is 0 which means rclone will choose a sensible
default based on the batch_mode in use.</p>
<ul>
<li>batch_mode: async - default batch_timeout is 10s</li>
<li>batch_mode: sync - default batch_timeout is 500ms</li>
<li>batch_mode: off - not in use</li>
</ul>

<li>Type: string</li>
<li>Required: false</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="limitations-10">Limitations</h2>
<p>Note that Dropbox is case insensitive so you can't have a file called
"Hello.doc" and one called "hello.doc".</p>
<p>There are some file names such as <code>thumbs.db</code> which
Dropbox can't store. There is a full list of them in the <a
href="https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/145">"Ignored Files" section of
this document</a>. Rclone will issue an error message
<code>File name disallowed - not uploading</code> if it attempts to
upload one of those file names, but the sync won't fail.</p>
<p>Some errors may occur if you try to sync copyright-protected files
because Dropbox has its own <a
href="https://techcrunch.com/2014/03/30/how-dropbox-knows-when-youre-sharing-copyrighted-stuff-without-actually-looking-at-your-stuff/">copyright
detector</a> that prevents this sort of file being downloaded. This will
return the error
<code>ERROR : /path/to/your/file: Failed to copy: failed to open source object: path/restricted_content/.</code></p>
<p>If you have more than 10,000 files in a directory then
<code>rclone purge dropbox:dir</code> will return the error
<code>Failed to purge: There are too many files involved in this operation</code>.
As a work-around do an <code>rclone delete dropbox:dir</code> followed
by an <code>rclone rmdir dropbox:dir</code>.</p>
<p>When using <code>rclone link</code> you'll need to set
<code>--expire</code> if using a non-personal account otherwise the
visibility may not be correct. (Note that <code>--expire</code> isn't
supported on personal accounts). See the <a
href="https://forum.rclone.org/t/rclone-link-dropbox-permissions/23211">forum

<h2 id="get-your-own-dropbox-app-id">Get your own Dropbox App ID</h2>
<p>When you use rclone with Dropbox in its default configuration you are
using rclone's App ID. This is shared between all the rclone users.</p>
<p>Here is how to create your own Dropbox App ID for rclone:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li><p>Log into the <a
href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps/create">Dropbox App
console</a> with your Dropbox Account (It need not to be the same
account as the Dropbox you want to access)</p></li>
<li><p>Choose an API =&gt; Usually this should be
<code>Dropbox API</code></p></li>
<li><p>Choose the type of access you want to use =&gt;
<code>Full Dropbox</code> or <code>App Folder</code>. If you want to use
Team Folders, <code>Full Dropbox</code> is required (<a
href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/How-to-create-team-folder-inside-my-app-s-folder/m-p/601005/highlight/true#M27911">see
here</a>).</p></li>
<li><p>Name your App. The app name is global, so you can't use
<code>rclone</code> for example</p></li>
<li><p>Click the button <code>Create App</code></p></li>
<li><p>Switch to the <code>Permissions</code> tab. Enable at least the
following permissions: <code>account_info.read</code>,
<code>files.metadata.write</code>, <code>files.content.write</code>,

<h1 id="enterprise-file-fabric">Enterprise File Fabric</h1>
<p>This backend supports <a

File Fabric™</a> which provides a software solution to integrate and
unify File and Object Storage accessible through a global file
system.</p>
<h2 id="configuration-12">Configuration</h2>
<p>The initial setup for the Enterprise File Fabric backend involves
getting a token from the Enterprise File Fabric which you need to do in
your browser. <code>rclone config</code> walks you through it.</p>
<p>Here is an example of how to make a remote called
<code>remote</code>. First run:</p>
<pre><code> rclone config</code></pre>
<p>This will guide you through an interactive setup process:</p>
<pre><code>No remotes found, make a new one?

<p>Once configured you can then use <code>rclone</code> like this,</p>
<p>List directories in top level of your Enterprise File Fabric</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsd remote:</code></pre>
<p>List all the files in your Enterprise File Fabric</p>
<pre><code>rclone ls remote:</code></pre>
<p>To copy a local directory to an Enterprise File Fabric directory
called backup</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy /home/source remote:backup</code></pre>
<h3 id="modification-times-and-hashes-6">Modification times and
hashes</h3>
<p>The Enterprise File Fabric allows modification times to be set on
files accurate to 1 second. These will be used to detect whether objects
need syncing or not.</p>
<p>The Enterprise File Fabric does not support any data hashes at this
time.</p>
<h3 id="restricted-filename-characters-6">Restricted filename
characters</h3>
<p>The <a
href="https://rclone.org/overview/#restricted-characters">default
restricted characters set</a> will be replaced.</p>
<p>Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be <a
href="https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8">replaced</a>, as they
can't be used in JSON strings.</p>
<h3 id="empty-files">Empty files</h3>
<p>Empty files aren't supported by the Enterprise File Fabric. Rclone
will therefore upload an empty file as a single space with a mime type
of <code>application/vnd.rclone.empty.file</code> and files with that
mime type are treated as empty.</p>
<h3 id="root-folder-id-1">Root folder ID</h3>
<p>You can set the <code>root_folder_id</code> for rclone. This is the
directory (identified by its <code>Folder ID</code>) that rclone
considers to be the root of your Enterprise File Fabric.</p>
<p>Normally you will leave this blank and rclone will determine the
correct root to use itself.</p>
<p>However you can set this to restrict rclone to a specific folder
hierarchy.</p>
<p>In order to do this you will have to find the <code>Folder ID</code>
of the directory you wish rclone to display. These aren't displayed in
the web interface, but you can use <code>rclone lsf</code> to find them,
for example</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone lsf --dirs-only -Fip --csv filefabric:
120673758,Burnt PDFs/
120673759,My Quick Uploads/
120673755,My Syncs/
120673756,My backups/
120673757,My contacts/

<h3 id="anonymous-ftp">Anonymous FTP</h3>
<p>When connecting to a FTP server that allows anonymous login, you can
use the special "anonymous" username. Traditionally, this user account
accepts any string as a password, although it is common to use either
the password "anonymous" or "guest". Some servers require the use of a
valid e-mail address as password.</p>
<p>Using <a href="#backend-path-to-dir">on-the-fly</a> or <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#connection-strings">connection string</a>
remotes makes it easy to access such servers, without requiring any
configuration in advance. The following are examples of that:</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsf :ftp: --ftp-host=speedtest.tele2.net --ftp-user=anonymous --ftp-pass=$(rclone obscure dummy)
rclone lsf :ftp,host=speedtest.tele2.net,user=anonymous,pass=$(rclone obscure dummy):</code></pre>
<p>The above examples work in Linux shells and in PowerShell, but not
Windows Command Prompt. They execute the <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_obscure/">rclone obscure</a>
command to create a password string in the format required by the <a
href="#ftp-pass">pass</a> option. The following examples are exactly the
same, except use an already obscured string representation of the same
password "dummy", and therefore works even in Windows Command
Prompt:</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsf :ftp: --ftp-host=speedtest.tele2.net --ftp-user=anonymous --ftp-pass=IXs2wc8OJOz7SYLBk47Ji1rHTmxM

<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="ftp-explicit-tls">--ftp-explicit-tls</h4>
<p>Use Explicit FTPS (FTP over TLS).</p>
<p>When using explicit FTP over TLS the client explicitly requests
security from the server in order to upgrade a plain text connection to
an encrypted one. Cannot be used in combination with implicit FTPS.</p>

<p>If you are doing a sync or copy then make sure concurrency is one
more than the sum of <code>--transfers</code> and
<code>--checkers</code>.</p>
<p>If you use <code>--check-first</code> then it just needs to be one
more than the maximum of <code>--checkers</code> and
<code>--transfers</code>.</p>
<p>So for <code>concurrency 3</code> you'd use
<code>--checkers 2 --transfers 2 --check-first</code> or
<code>--checkers 1 --transfers 1</code>.</p>

<h2 id="limitations-11">Limitations</h2>
<p>FTP servers acting as rclone remotes must support
<code>passive</code> mode. The mode cannot be configured as
<code>passive</code> is the only supported one. Rclone's FTP
implementation is not compatible with <code>active</code> mode as <a
href="https://github.com/jlaffaye/ftp/issues/29">the library it uses
doesn't support it</a>. This will likely never be supported due to
security concerns.</p>
<p>Rclone's FTP backend does not support any checksums but can compare
file sizes.</p>
<p><code>rclone about</code> is not supported by the FTP backend.
Backends without this capability cannot determine free space for an
rclone mount or use policy <code>mfs</code> (most free space) as a
member of an rclone union remote.</p>
<p>See <a href="https://rclone.org/overview/#optional-features">List of
backends that do not support rclone about</a> and <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_about/">rclone about</a></p>
<p>The implementation of : <code>--dump headers</code>,
<code>--dump bodies</code>, <code>--dump auth</code> for debugging isn't
the same as for rclone HTTP based backends - it has less fine grained
control.</p>
<p><code>--timeout</code> isn't supported (but <code>--contimeout</code>
is).</p>
<p><code>--bind</code> isn't supported.</p>
<p>Rclone's FTP backend could support server-side move but does not at
present.</p>
<p>The <code>ftp_proxy</code> environment variable is not currently
supported.</p>
<h3 id="modification-times-4">Modification times</h3>
<p>File modification time (timestamps) is supported to 1 second
resolution for major FTP servers: ProFTPd, PureFTPd, VsFTPd, and
FileZilla FTP server. The <code>VsFTPd</code> server has non-standard
implementation of time related protocol commands and needs a special
configuration setting: <code>writing_mdtm = true</code>.</p>
<p>Support for precise file time with other FTP servers varies depending
on what protocol extensions they advertise. If all the
<code>MLSD</code>, <code>MDTM</code> and <code>MFTM</code> extensions
are present, rclone will use them together to provide precise time.
Otherwise the times you see on the FTP server through rclone are those
of the last file upload.</p>
<p>You can use the following command to check whether rclone can use
precise time with your FTP server:
<code>rclone backend features your_ftp_remote:</code> (the trailing
colon is important). Look for the number in the line tagged by
<code>Precision</code> designating the remote time precision expressed
as nanoseconds. A value of <code>1000000000</code> means that file time
precision of 1 second is available. A value of
<code>3153600000000000000</code> (or another large number) means
"unsupported".</p>

<h3 id="public-links">Public Links</h3>
<p>Gofile supports <code>rclone link</code> to make public links to
files or directories. If you specify a directory it will download as a
<code>zip</code> file. You can use the <code>--expire</code> flag to
specify the time the link should be valid. Note that
<code>rclone link --unlink</code> removes all the public links for a
file.</p>
<h3 id="root-folder-id-2">Root folder ID</h3>
<p>You can set the <code>root_folder_id</code> for rclone. This is the
directory (identified by its <code>Folder ID</code>) that rclone
considers to be the root of your Gofile drive.</p>
<p>Normally you will leave this blank and rclone will determine the
correct root to use itself and fill in the value in the config file.</p>
<p>However you can set this to restrict rclone to a specific folder
hierarchy.</p>
<p>In order to do this you will have to find the <code>Folder ID</code>
of the directory you wish rclone to display.</p>
<p>You can do this with rclone</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone lsf -Fip --dirs-only remote:
d6341f53-ee65-4f29-9f59-d11e8070b2a0;Files/

d50e356c-29ca-4b27-a3a7-494d91026e04;Videos/</code></pre>
<p>The ID to use is the part before the <code>;</code> so you could
set</p>
<pre><code>root_folder_id = d6341f53-ee65-4f29-9f59-d11e8070b2a0</code></pre>

<h2 id="limitations-12">Limitations</h2>
<p>Gofile only supports filenames up to 255 characters in length, where
a character is a unicode character.</p>
<p>Directories should not be cached for more than 24h otherwise files in
the directory may not be downloadable. In practice this means when using
a VFS based rclone command such as <code>rclone mount</code> you should
make sure <code>--dir-cache-time</code> is less than
<code>24h</code>.</p>
<p>Note that Gofile is currently limited to a total of 100,000 items. If
you attempt to upload more than that you will get
<code>error-limit-100000</code>. This limit may be lifted in the
future.</p>
<h3 id="duplicated-files-1">Duplicated files</h3>
<p>Gofile is capable of having files with duplicated file names. For
instance two files called <code>hello.txt</code> in the same
directory.</p>
<p>Rclone cannot sync that to a normal file system but it can be fixed
with the <code>rclone dedupe</code> command.</p>
<p>Duplicated files cause problems with the syncing and you will see
messages in the log about duplicates.</p>
<p>Use <code>rclone dedupe</code> to fix duplicated files.</p>
<h1 id="google-cloud-storage-1">Google Cloud Storage</h1>
<p>Paths are specified as <code>remote:bucket</code> (or
<code>remote:</code> for the <code>lsd</code> command.) You may put
subdirectories in too, e.g. <code>remote:bucket/path/to/dir</code>.</p>
<h2 id="configuration-17">Configuration</h2>
<p>The initial setup for google cloud storage involves getting a token
from Google Cloud Storage which you need to do in your browser.
<code>rclone config</code> walks you through it.</p>
<p>Here is an example of how to make a remote called
<code>remote</code>. First run:</p>
<pre><code> rclone config</code></pre>
<p>This will guide you through an interactive setup process:</p>

<p>See the <a href="https://rclone.org/remote_setup/">remote setup
docs</a> for how to set it up on a machine with no Internet browser
available.</p>
<p>Note that rclone runs a webserver on your local machine to collect
the token as returned from Google if using web browser to automatically
authenticate. This only runs from the moment it opens your browser to
the moment you get back the verification code. This is on
<code>http://127.0.0.1:53682/</code> and this it may require you to
unblock it temporarily if you are running a host firewall, or use manual
mode.</p>
<p>This remote is called <code>remote</code> and can now be used like
this</p>
<p>See all the buckets in your project</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsd remote:</code></pre>
<p>Make a new bucket</p>
<pre><code>rclone mkdir remote:bucket</code></pre>
<p>List the contents of a bucket</p>
<pre><code>rclone ls remote:bucket</code></pre>
<p>Sync <code>/home/local/directory</code> to the remote bucket,
deleting any excess files in the bucket.</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync --interactive /home/local/directory remote:bucket</code></pre>
<h3 id="service-account-support">Service Account support</h3>
<p>You can set up rclone with Google Cloud Storage in an unattended
mode, i.e. not tied to a specific end-user Google account. This is
useful when you want to synchronise files onto machines that don't have
actively logged-in users, for example build machines.</p>
<p>To get credentials for Google Cloud Platform <a
href="https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/service-accounts">IAM Service
Accounts</a>, please head to the <a
href="https://console.cloud.google.com/permissions/serviceaccounts">Service
Account</a> section of the Google Developer Console. Service Accounts
behave just like normal <code>User</code> permissions in <a
href="https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/access-control">Google Cloud
Storage ACLs</a>, so you can limit their access (e.g. make them read
only). After creating an account, a JSON file containing the Service
Account's credentials will be downloaded onto your machines. These
credentials are what rclone will use for authentication.</p>
<p>To use a Service Account instead of OAuth2 token flow, enter the path
to your Service Account credentials at the
<code>service_account_file</code> prompt and rclone won't use the
browser based authentication flow. If you'd rather stuff the contents of
the credentials file into the rclone config file, you can set
<code>service_account_credentials</code> with the actual contents of the
file instead, or set the equivalent environment variable.</p>
<h3 id="anonymous-access-1">Anonymous Access</h3>
<p>For downloads of objects that permit public access you can configure
rclone to use anonymous access by setting <code>anonymous</code> to
<code>true</code>. With unauthorized access you can't write or create
files but only read or list those buckets and objects that have public
read access.</p>
<h3 id="application-default-credentials">Application Default
Credentials</h3>
<p>If no other source of credentials is provided, rclone will fall back
to <a
href="https://cloud.google.com/video-intelligence/docs/common/auth#authenticating_with_application_default_credentials">Application
Default Credentials</a> this is useful both when you already have
configured authentication for your developer account, or in production
when running on a google compute host. Note that if running in docker,
you may need to run additional commands on your google compute machine -
<a
href="https://cloud.google.com/container-registry/docs/advanced-authentication#gcloud_as_a_docker_credential_helper">see
this page</a>.</p>
<p>Note that in the case application default credentials are used, there
is no need to explicitly configure a project number.</p>
<h3 id="fast-list-2">--fast-list</h3>
<p>This remote supports <code>--fast-list</code> which allows you to use
fewer transactions in exchange for more memory. See the <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#fast-list">rclone docs</a> for more
details.</p>
<h3 id="custom-upload-headers">Custom upload headers</h3>
<p>You can set custom upload headers with the
<code>--header-upload</code> flag. Google Cloud Storage supports the
headers as described in the <a
href="https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/gsutil/addlhelp/WorkingWithObjectMetadata">working
with metadata documentation</a></p>
<ul>
<li>Cache-Control</li>
<li>Content-Disposition</li>
<li>Content-Encoding</li>
<li>Content-Language</li>
<li>Content-Type</li>
<li>X-Goog-Storage-Class</li>
<li>X-Goog-Meta-</li>
</ul>
<p>Eg <code>--header-upload "Content-Type text/potato"</code></p>
<p>Note that the last of these is for setting custom metadata in the
form <code>--header-upload "x-goog-meta-key: value"</code></p>
<h3 id="modification-times-5">Modification times</h3>
<p>Google Cloud Storage stores md5sum natively. Google's <a
href="https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/gsutil">gsutil</a> tool
stores modification time with one-second precision as
<code>goog-reserved-file-mtime</code> in file metadata.</p>
<p>To ensure compatibility with gsutil, rclone stores modification time
in 2 separate metadata entries. <code>mtime</code> uses RFC3339 format
with one-nanosecond precision. <code>goog-reserved-file-mtime</code>
uses Unix timestamp format with one-second precision. To get
modification time from object metadata, rclone reads the metadata in the
following order: <code>mtime</code>,
<code>goog-reserved-file-mtime</code>, object updated time.</p>
<p>Note that rclone's default modify window is 1ns. Files uploaded by
gsutil only contain timestamps with one-second precision. If you use
rclone to sync files previously uploaded by gsutil, rclone will attempt
to update modification time for all these files. To avoid these possibly
unnecessary updates, use <code>--modify-window 1s</code>.</p>

<p>See the <a href="https://rclone.org/remote_setup/">remote setup
docs</a> for how to set it up on a machine with no Internet browser
available.</p>
<p>Note that rclone runs a webserver on your local machine to collect
the token as returned from Google if using web browser to automatically
authenticate. This only runs from the moment it opens your browser to
the moment you get back the verification code. This is on
<code>http://127.0.0.1:53682/</code> and it may require you to unblock
it temporarily if you are running a host firewall, or use manual
mode.</p>
<p>You can then use it like this,</p>
<p>List directories in top level of your drive</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsd remote:</code></pre>
<p>List all the files in your drive</p>
<pre><code>rclone ls remote:</code></pre>
<p>To copy a local directory to a drive directory called backup</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy /home/source remote:backup</code></pre>
<h3 id="scopes">Scopes</h3>
<p>Rclone allows you to select which scope you would like for rclone to
use. This changes what type of token is granted to rclone. <a
href="https://developers.google.com/drive/v3/web/about-auth">The scopes
are defined here</a>.</p>
<p>A comma-separated list is allowed e.g.
<code>drive.readonly,drive.file</code>.</p>
<p>The scope are</p>
<h4 id="drive">drive</h4>
<p>This is the default scope and allows full access to all files, except
for the Application Data Folder (see below).</p>
<p>Choose this one if you aren't sure.</p>
<h4 id="drive.readonly">drive.readonly</h4>
<p>This allows read only access to all files. Files may be listed and
downloaded but not uploaded, renamed or deleted.</p>
<h4 id="drive.file">drive.file</h4>
<p>With this scope rclone can read/view/modify only those files and
folders it creates.</p>
<p>So if you uploaded files to drive via the web interface (or any other
means) they will not be visible to rclone.</p>
<p>This can be useful if you are using rclone to backup data and you
want to be sure confidential data on your drive is not visible to
rclone.</p>
<p>Files created with this scope are visible in the web interface.</p>
<h4 id="drive.appfolder">drive.appfolder</h4>
<p>This gives rclone its own private area to store files. Rclone will
not be able to see any other files on your drive and you won't be able
to see rclone's files from the web interface either.</p>
<h4 id="drive.metadata.readonly">drive.metadata.readonly</h4>
<p>This allows read only access to file names only. It does not allow
rclone to download or upload data, or rename or delete files or
directories.</p>
<h3 id="root-folder-id-3">Root folder ID</h3>
<p>This option has been moved to the advanced section. You can set the
<code>root_folder_id</code> for rclone. This is the directory
(identified by its <code>Folder ID</code>) that rclone considers to be
the root of your drive.</p>
<p>Normally you will leave this blank and rclone will determine the
correct root to use itself.</p>
<p>However you can set this to restrict rclone to a specific folder
hierarchy or to access data within the "Computers" tab on the drive web
interface (where files from Google's Backup and Sync desktop program
go).</p>
<p>In order to do this you will have to find the <code>Folder ID</code>
of the directory you wish rclone to display. This will be the last
segment of the URL when you open the relevant folder in the drive web
interface.</p>
<p>So if the folder you want rclone to use has a URL which looks like
<code>https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1XyfxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxKHCh</code>
in the browser, then you use
<code>1XyfxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxKHCh</code> as the
<code>root_folder_id</code> in the config.</p>
<p><strong>NB</strong> folders under the "Computers" tab seem to be read
only (drive gives a 500 error) when using rclone.</p>
<p>There doesn't appear to be an API to discover the folder IDs of the
"Computers" tab - please contact us if you know otherwise!</p>
<p>Note also that rclone can't access any data under the "Backups" tab
on the google drive web interface yet.</p>
<h3 id="service-account-support-1">Service Account support</h3>
<p>You can set up rclone with Google Drive in an unattended mode, i.e.
not tied to a specific end-user Google account. This is useful when you
want to synchronise files onto machines that don't have actively
logged-in users, for example build machines.</p>
<p>To use a Service Account instead of OAuth2 token flow, enter the path
to your Service Account credentials at the
<code>service_account_file</code> prompt during
<code>rclone config</code> and rclone won't use the browser based
authentication flow. If you'd rather stuff the contents of the
credentials file into the rclone config file, you can set
<code>service_account_credentials</code> with the actual contents of the
file instead, or set the equivalent environment variable.</p>
<h4 id="use-case---google-workspace-account-and-individual-drive">Use
case - Google Workspace account and individual Drive</h4>
<p>Let's say that you are the administrator of a Google Workspace. The
goal is to read or write data on an individual's Drive account, who IS a
member of the domain. We'll call the domain
<strong>example.com</strong>, and the user
<strong>foo@example.com</strong>.</p>
<p>There's a few steps we need to go through to accomplish this:</p>
<h5 id="create-a-service-account-for-example.com">1. Create a service
account for example.com</h5>
<ul>
<li>To create a service account and obtain its credentials, go to the <a
href="https://console.developers.google.com">Google Developer
Console</a>.</li>
<li>You must have a project - create one if you don't and make sure you
are on the selected project.</li>
<li>Then go to "IAM &amp; admin" -&gt; "Service Accounts".</li>
<li>Use the "Create Service Account" button. Fill in "Service account
name" and "Service account ID" with something that identifies your
client.</li>
<li>Select "Create And Continue". Step 2 and 3 are optional.</li>
<li>Click on the newly created service account</li>
<li>Click "Keys" and then "Add Key" and then "Create new key"</li>
<li>Choose type "JSON" and click create</li>
<li>This will download a small JSON file that rclone will use for
authentication.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you ever need to remove access, press the "Delete service account
key" button.</p>
<h5 id="allowing-api-access-to-example.com-google-drive">2. Allowing API
access to example.com Google Drive</h5>
<ul>
<li>Go to example.com's <a href="https://admin.google.com">Workspace
Admin Console</a></li>
<li>Go into "Security" (or use the search bar)</li>
<li>Select "Access and data control" and then "API controls"</li>
<li>Click "Manage domain-wide delegation"</li>
<li>Click "Add new"</li>
<li>In the "Client ID" field enter the service account's "Client ID" -
this can be found in the Developer Console under "IAM &amp; Admin" -&gt;
"Service Accounts", then "View Client ID" for the newly created service
account. It is a ~21 character numerical string.</li>
<li>In the next field, "OAuth Scopes", enter
<code>https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive</code> to grant read/write
access to Google Drive specifically. You can also use
<code>https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly</code> for read
only access.</li>
<li>Click "Authorise"</li>
</ul>

<li><code>lsf</code> - list files in a parsing friendly way</li>
<li><code>gdrive:backup</code> - use the remote called gdrive, work in
the folder named backup.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<p>Note: in case you configured a specific root folder on gdrive and
rclone is unable to access the contents of that folder when using
<code>--drive-impersonate</code>, do this instead: - in the gdrive web
interface, share your root folder with the user/email of the new Service
Account you created/selected at step 1 - use rclone without specifying
the <code>--drive-impersonate</code> option, like this:
<code>rclone -v lsf gdrive:backup</code></p>
<h3 id="shared-drives-team-drives">Shared drives (team drives)</h3>
<p>If you want to configure the remote to point to a Google Shared Drive
(previously known as Team Drives) then answer <code>y</code> to the
question
<code>Configure this as a Shared Drive (Team Drive)?</code>.</p>
<p>This will fetch the list of Shared Drives from google and allow you
to configure which one you want to use. You can also type in a Shared

y/e/d&gt; y</code></pre>
<h3 id="fast-list-3">--fast-list</h3>
<p>This remote supports <code>--fast-list</code> which allows you to use
fewer transactions in exchange for more memory. See the <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#fast-list">rclone docs</a> for more
details.</p>
<p>It does this by combining multiple <code>list</code> calls into a
single API request.</p>
<p>This works by combining many <code>'%s' in parents</code> filters
into one expression. To list the contents of directories a, b and c, the
following requests will be send by the regular <code>List</code>
function:</p>
<pre><code>trashed=false and &#39;a&#39; in parents
trashed=false and &#39;b&#39; in parents
trashed=false and &#39;c&#39; in parents</code></pre>
<p>These can now be combined into a single request:</p>
<pre><code>trashed=false and (&#39;a&#39; in parents or &#39;b&#39; in parents or &#39;c&#39; in parents)</code></pre>
<p>The implementation of <code>ListR</code> will put up to 50
<code>parents</code> filters into one request. It will use the
<code>--checkers</code> value to specify the number of requests to run
in parallel.</p>
<p>In tests, these batch requests were up to 20x faster than the regular
method. Running the following command against different sized folders
gives:</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsjson -vv -R --checkers=6 gdrive:folder</code></pre>
<p>small folder (220 directories, 700 files):</p>
<ul>
<li>without <code>--fast-list</code>: 38s</li>
<li>with <code>--fast-list</code>: 10s</li>
</ul>
<p>large folder (10600 directories, 39000 files):</p>
<ul>
<li>without <code>--fast-list</code>: 22:05 min</li>
<li>with <code>--fast-list</code>: 58s</li>

<p>Hash algorithms MD5, SHA1 and SHA256 are supported. Note, however,
that a small fraction of files uploaded may not have SHA1 or SHA256
hashes especially if they were uploaded before 2018.</p>
<h3 id="restricted-filename-characters-9">Restricted filename
characters</h3>
<p>Only Invalid UTF-8 bytes will be <a
href="https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8">replaced</a>, as they
can't be used in JSON strings.</p>
<p>In contrast to other backends, <code>/</code> can also be used in
names and <code>.</code> or <code>..</code> are valid names.</p>
<h3 id="revisions">Revisions</h3>
<p>Google drive stores revisions of files. When you upload a change to
an existing file to google drive using rclone it will create a new
revision of that file.</p>
<p>Revisions follow the standard google policy which at time of writing
was</p>
<ul>
<li>They are deleted after 30 days or 100 revisions (whatever comes
first).</li>
<li>They do not count towards a user storage quota.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="deleting-files-1">Deleting files</h3>
<p>By default rclone will send all files to the trash when deleting
files. If deleting them permanently is required then use the
<code>--drive-use-trash=false</code> flag, or set the equivalent
environment variable.</p>
<h3 id="shortcuts">Shortcuts</h3>
<p>In March 2020 Google introduced a new feature in Google Drive called
<a href="https://support.google.com/drive/answer/9700156">drive
shortcuts</a> (<a
href="https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/shortcuts">API</a>).
These will (by September 2020) <a
href="https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/g-suite/simplifying-google-drives-folder-structure-and-sharing-models">replace
the ability for files or folders to be in multiple folders at
once</a>.</p>
<p>Shortcuts are files that link to other files on Google Drive somewhat
like a symlink in unix, except they point to the underlying file data
(e.g. the inode in unix terms) so they don't break if the source is
renamed or moved about.</p>
<p>By default rclone treats these as follows.</p>
<p>For shortcuts pointing to files:</p>
<ul>
<li>When listing a file shortcut appears as the destination file.</li>
<li>When downloading the contents of the destination file is
downloaded.</li>
<li>When updating shortcut file with a non shortcut file, the shortcut
is removed then a new file is uploaded in place of the shortcut.</li>
<li>When server-side moving (renaming) the shortcut is renamed, not the
destination file.</li>
<li>When server-side copying the shortcut is copied, not the contents of
the shortcut. (unless <code>--drive-copy-shortcut-content</code> is in
use in which case the contents of the shortcut gets copied).</li>
<li>When deleting the shortcut is deleted not the linked file.</li>
<li>When setting the modification time, the modification time of the
linked file will be set.</li>
</ul>
<p>For shortcuts pointing to folders:</p>
<ul>
<li>When listing the shortcut appears as a folder and that folder will
contain the contents of the linked folder appear (including any sub
folders)</li>
<li>When downloading the contents of the linked folder and sub contents
are downloaded</li>
<li>When uploading to a shortcut folder the file will be placed in the
linked folder</li>
<li>When server-side moving (renaming) the shortcut is renamed, not the
destination folder</li>
<li>When server-side copying the contents of the linked folder is
copied, not the shortcut.</li>
<li>When deleting with <code>rclone rmdir</code> or
<code>rclone purge</code> the shortcut is deleted not the linked
folder.</li>
<li><strong>NB</strong> When deleting with <code>rclone remove</code> or
<code>rclone mount</code> the contents of the linked folder will be
deleted.</li>
</ul>
<p>The <a href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_backend/">rclone
backend</a> command can be used to create shortcuts.</p>
<p>Shortcuts can be completely ignored with the
<code>--drive-skip-shortcuts</code> flag or the corresponding
<code>skip_shortcuts</code> configuration setting.</p>
<p>If you have shortcuts that lead to an infinite recursion in your
drive (e.g. a shortcut pointing to a parent folder),
<code>skip_shortcuts</code> might be mandatory to be able to copy the
drive.</p>
<h3 id="emptying-trash">Emptying trash</h3>
<p>If you wish to empty your trash you can use the
<code>rclone cleanup remote:</code> command which will permanently
delete all your trashed files. This command does not take any path
arguments.</p>
<p>Note that Google Drive takes some time (minutes to days) to empty the
trash even though the command returns within a few seconds. No output is
echoed, so there will be no confirmation even using -v or -vv.</p>
<h3 id="quota-information">Quota information</h3>
<p>To view your current quota you can use the
<code>rclone about remote:</code> command which will display your usage
limit (quota), the usage in Google Drive, the size of all files in the
Trash and the space used by other Google services such as Gmail. This
command does not take any path arguments.</p>
<h4 id="importexport-of-google-documents">Import/Export of google
documents</h4>
<p>Google documents can be exported from and uploaded to Google
Drive.</p>
<p>When rclone downloads a Google doc it chooses a format to download
depending upon the <code>--drive-export-formats</code> setting. By
default the export formats are <code>docx,xlsx,pptx,svg</code> which are
a sensible default for an editable document.</p>
<p>When choosing a format, rclone runs down the list provided in order
and chooses the first file format the doc can be exported as from the
list. If the file can't be exported to a format on the formats list,
then rclone will choose a format from the default list.</p>
<p>If you prefer an archive copy then you might use
<code>--drive-export-formats pdf</code>, or if you prefer
openoffice/libreoffice formats you might use
<code>--drive-export-formats ods,odt,odp</code>.</p>
<p>Note that rclone adds the extension to the google doc, so if it is
called <code>My Spreadsheet</code> on google docs, it will be exported
as <code>My Spreadsheet.xlsx</code> or <code>My Spreadsheet.pdf</code>
etc.</p>
<p>When importing files into Google Drive, rclone will convert all files
with an extension in <code>--drive-import-formats</code> to their
associated document type. rclone will not convert any files by default,
since the conversion is lossy process.</p>
<p>The conversion must result in a file with the same extension when the
<code>--drive-export-formats</code> rules are applied to the uploaded
document.</p>
<p>Here are some examples for allowed and prohibited conversions.</p>

<p>This limitation can be disabled by specifying
<code>--drive-allow-import-name-change</code>. When using this flag,
rclone can convert multiple files types resulting in the same document
type at once, e.g. with
<code>--drive-import-formats docx,odt,txt</code>, all files having these
extension would result in a document represented as a docx file. This
brings the additional risk of overwriting a document, if multiple files
have the same stem. Many rclone operations will not handle this name
change in any way. They assume an equal name when copying files and
might copy the file again or delete them when the name changes.</p>
<p>Here are the possible export extensions with their corresponding mime
types. Most of these can also be used for importing, but there more that
are not listed here. Some of these additional ones might only be
available when the operating system provides the correct MIME type
entries.</p>
<p>This list can be changed by Google Drive at any time and might not
represent the currently available conversions.</p>

<h4 id="drive-use-created-date">--drive-use-created-date</h4>
<p>Use file created date instead of modified date.</p>
<p>Useful when downloading data and you want the creation date used in
place of the last modified date.</p>
<p><strong>WARNING</strong>: This flag may have some unexpected
consequences.</p>
<p>When uploading to your drive all files will be overwritten unless

<h4 id="drive-chunk-size">--drive-chunk-size</h4>
<p>Upload chunk size.</p>
<p>Must a power of 2 &gt;= 256k.</p>
<p>Making this larger will improve performance, but note that each chunk
is buffered in memory one per transfer.</p>
<p>Reducing this will reduce memory usage but decrease performance.</p>

<h4 id="drive-acknowledge-abuse">--drive-acknowledge-abuse</h4>
<p>Set to allow files which return cannotDownloadAbusiveFile to be
downloaded.</p>
<p>If downloading a file returns the error "This file has been
identified as malware or spam and cannot be downloaded" with the error
code "cannotDownloadAbusiveFile" then supply this flag to rclone to
indicate you acknowledge the risks of downloading the file and rclone
will download it anyway.</p>
<p>Note that if you are using service account it will need Manager
permission (not Content Manager) to for this flag to work. If the SA
does not have the right permission, Google will just ignore the
flag.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: acknowledge_abuse</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_DRIVE_ACKNOWLEDGE_ABUSE</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>

<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="drive-size-as-quota">--drive-size-as-quota</h4>
<p>Show sizes as storage quota usage, not actual size.</p>
<p>Show the size of a file as the storage quota used. This is the
current version plus any older versions that have been set to keep
forever.</p>
<p><strong>WARNING</strong>: This flag may have some unexpected
consequences.</p>
<p>It is not recommended to set this flag in your config - the
recommended usage is using the flag form --drive-size-as-quota when
doing rclone ls/lsl/lsf/lsjson/etc only.</p>
<p>If you do use this flag for syncing (not recommended) then you will
need to use --ignore size also.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: size_as_quota</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_DRIVE_SIZE_AS_QUOTA</li>

<h4
id="drive-server-side-across-configs">--drive-server-side-across-configs</h4>
<p>Deprecated: use --server-side-across-configs instead.</p>
<p>Allow server-side operations (e.g. copy) to work across different
drive configs.</p>
<p>This can be useful if you wish to do a server-side copy between two
different Google drives. Note that this isn't enabled by default because
it isn't easy to tell if it will work between any two
configurations.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: server_side_across_configs</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_DRIVE_SERVER_SIDE_ACROSS_CONFIGS</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="drive-disable-http2">--drive-disable-http2</h4>
<p>Disable drive using http2.</p>
<p>There is currently an unsolved issue with the google drive backend
and HTTP/2. HTTP/2 is therefore disabled by default for the drive
backend but can be re-enabled here. When the issue is solved this flag
will be removed.</p>
<p>See: https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/3631</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: disable_http2</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_DRIVE_DISABLE_HTTP2</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: true</li>

<h4 id="drive-stop-on-upload-limit">--drive-stop-on-upload-limit</h4>
<p>Make upload limit errors be fatal.</p>
<p>At the time of writing it is only possible to upload 750 GiB of data
to Google Drive a day (this is an undocumented limit). When this limit
is reached Google Drive produces a slightly different error message.
When this flag is set it causes these errors to be fatal. These will
stop the in-progress sync.</p>
<p>Note that this detection is relying on error message strings which
Google don't document so it may break in the future.</p>
<p>See: https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/3857</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: stop_on_upload_limit</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_DRIVE_STOP_ON_UPLOAD_LIMIT</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4
id="drive-stop-on-download-limit">--drive-stop-on-download-limit</h4>
<p>Make download limit errors be fatal.</p>
<p>At the time of writing it is only possible to download 10 TiB of data
from Google Drive a day (this is an undocumented limit). When this limit
is reached Google Drive produces a slightly different error message.
When this flag is set it causes these errors to be fatal. These will
stop the in-progress sync.</p>
<p>Note that this detection is relying on error message strings which
Google don't document so it may break in the future.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: stop_on_download_limit</li>

<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="drive-skip-shortcuts">--drive-skip-shortcuts</h4>
<p>If set skip shortcut files.</p>
<p>Normally rclone dereferences shortcut files making them appear as if
they are the original file (see <a href="#shortcuts">the shortcuts
section</a>). If this flag is set then rclone will ignore shortcut files
completely.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: skip_shortcuts</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_DRIVE_SKIP_SHORTCUTS</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4
id="drive-skip-dangling-shortcuts">--drive-skip-dangling-shortcuts</h4>
<p>If set skip dangling shortcut files.</p>
<p>If this is set then rclone will not show any dangling shortcuts in
listings.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: skip_dangling_shortcuts</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_DRIVE_SKIP_DANGLING_SHORTCUTS</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="drive-resource-key">--drive-resource-key</h4>
<p>Resource key for accessing a link-shared file.</p>
<p>If you need to access files shared with a link like this</p>
<pre><code>https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/XXX?resourcekey=YYY&amp;usp=sharing</code></pre>
<p>Then you will need to use the first part "XXX" as the
"root_folder_id" and the second part "YYY" as the "resource_key"
otherwise you will get 404 not found errors when trying to access the
directory.</p>
<p>See: https://developers.google.com/drive/api/guides/resource-keys</p>
<p>This resource key requirement only applies to a subset of old
files.</p>
<p>Note also that opening the folder once in the web interface (with the
user you've authenticated rclone with) seems to be enough so that the
resource key is not needed.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: resource_key</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_DRIVE_RESOURCE_KEY</li>
<li>Type: string</li>
<li>Required: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="drive-fast-list-bug-fix">--drive-fast-list-bug-fix</h4>
<p>Work around a bug in Google Drive listing.</p>
<p>Normally rclone will work around a bug in Google Drive when using
--fast-list (ListR) where the search "(A in parents) or (B in parents)"
returns nothing sometimes. See #3114, #4289 and
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/149522397</p>
<p>Rclone detects this by finding no items in more than one directory
when listing and retries them as lists of individual directories.</p>
<p>This means that if you have a lot of empty directories rclone will
end up listing them all individually and this can take many more API
calls.</p>
<p>This flag allows the work-around to be disabled. This is
<strong>not</strong> recommended in normal use - only if you have a
particular case you are having trouble with like many empty
directories.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: fast_list_bug_fix</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_DRIVE_FAST_LIST_BUG_FIX</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: true</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="drive-metadata-owner">--drive-metadata-owner</h4>
<p>Control whether owner should be read or written in metadata.</p>
<p>Owner is a standard part of the file metadata so is easy to read. But
it isn't always desirable to set the owner from the metadata.</p>
<p>Note that you can't set the owner on Shared Drives, and that setting
ownership will generate an email to the new owner (this can't be
disabled), and you can't transfer ownership to someone outside your
organization.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: metadata_owner</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_DRIVE_METADATA_OWNER</li>
<li>Type: Bits</li>
<li>Default: read</li>
<li>Examples:
<ul>
<li>"off"
<ul>
<li>Do not read or write the value</li>
</ul></li>
<li>"read"

<li>"read,write"
<ul>
<li>Read and Write the value.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<h4 id="drive-metadata-permissions">--drive-metadata-permissions</h4>
<p>Control whether permissions should be read or written in
metadata.</p>
<p>Reading permissions metadata from files can be done quickly, but it
isn't always desirable to set the permissions from the metadata.</p>
<p>Note that rclone drops any inherited permissions on Shared Drives and
any owner permission on My Drives as these are duplicated in the owner
metadata.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: metadata_permissions</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_DRIVE_METADATA_PERMISSIONS</li>
<li>Type: Bits</li>
<li>Default: off</li>
<li>Examples:
<ul>
<li>"off"
<ul>
<li>Do not read or write the value</li>
</ul></li>
<li>"read"
<ul>
<li>Read the value only</li>
</ul></li>
<li>"write"
<ul>
<li>Write the value only</li>
</ul></li>
<li>"failok"
<ul>
<li>If writing fails log errors only, don't fail the transfer</li>
</ul></li>
<li>"read,write"
<ul>
<li>Read and Write the value.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<h4 id="drive-metadata-labels">--drive-metadata-labels</h4>
<p>Control whether labels should be read or written in metadata.</p>
<p>Reading labels metadata from files takes an extra API transaction and
will slow down listings. It isn't always desirable to set the labels
from the metadata.</p>
<p>The format of labels is documented in the drive API documentation at
https://developers.google.com/drive/api/reference/rest/v3/Label - rclone
just provides a JSON dump of this format.</p>
<p>When setting labels, the label and fields must already exist - rclone
will not create them. This means that if you are transferring labels
from two different accounts you will have to create the labels in
advance and use the metadata mapper to translate the IDs between the two
accounts.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: metadata_labels</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_DRIVE_METADATA_LABELS</li>
<li>Type: Bits</li>
<li>Default: off</li>
<li>Examples:
<ul>
<li>"off"

<h2 id="backend-commands-4">Backend commands</h2>
<p>Here are the commands specific to the drive backend.</p>
<p>Run them with</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend COMMAND remote:</code></pre>
<p>The help below will explain what arguments each command takes.</p>
<p>See the <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_backend/">backend</a> command
for more info on how to pass options and arguments.</p>
<p>These can be run on a running backend using the rc command <a
href="https://rclone.org/rc/#backend-command">backend/command</a>.</p>
<h3 id="get">get</h3>
<p>Get command for fetching the drive config parameters</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend get remote: [options] [&lt;arguments&gt;+]</code></pre>
<p>This is a get command which will be used to fetch the various drive
config parameters</p>
<p>Usage Examples:</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend get drive: [-o service_account_file] [-o chunk_size]
rclone rc backend/command command=get fs=drive: [-o service_account_file] [-o chunk_size]</code></pre>
<p>Options:</p>
<ul>
<li>"chunk_size": show the current upload chunk size</li>
<li>"service_account_file": show the current service account file</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="set-1">set</h3>
<p>Set command for updating the drive config parameters</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend set remote: [options] [&lt;arguments&gt;+]</code></pre>
<p>This is a set command which will be used to update the various drive
config parameters</p>
<p>Usage Examples:</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend set drive: [-o service_account_file=sa.json] [-o chunk_size=67108864]
rclone rc backend/command command=set fs=drive: [-o service_account_file=sa.json] [-o chunk_size=67108864]</code></pre>
<p>Options:</p>
<ul>
<li>"chunk_size": update the current upload chunk size</li>
<li>"service_account_file": update the current service account file</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="shortcut">shortcut</h3>
<p>Create shortcuts from files or directories</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend shortcut remote: [options] [&lt;arguments&gt;+]</code></pre>
<p>This command creates shortcuts from files or directories.</p>
<p>Usage:</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend shortcut drive: source_item destination_shortcut
rclone backend shortcut drive: source_item -o target=drive2: destination_shortcut</code></pre>
<p>In the first example this creates a shortcut from the "source_item"
which can be a file or a directory to the "destination_shortcut". The
"source_item" and the "destination_shortcut" should be relative paths
from "drive:"</p>
<p>In the second example this creates a shortcut from the "source_item"
relative to "drive:" to the "destination_shortcut" relative to
"drive2:". This may fail with a permission error if the user
authenticated with "drive2:" can't read files from "drive:".</p>
<p>Options:</p>
<ul>
<li>"target": optional target remote for the shortcut destination</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="drives">drives</h3>
<p>List the Shared Drives available to this account</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend drives remote: [options] [&lt;arguments&gt;+]</code></pre>
<p>This command lists the Shared Drives (Team Drives) available to this
account.</p>
<p>Usage:</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend [-o config] drives drive:</code></pre>
<p>This will return a JSON list of objects like this</p>
<pre><code>[
{
&quot;id&quot;: &quot;0ABCDEF-01234567890&quot;,
&quot;kind&quot;: &quot;drive#teamDrive&quot;,
&quot;name&quot;: &quot;My Drive&quot;
},
{
&quot;id&quot;: &quot;0ABCDEFabcdefghijkl&quot;,
&quot;kind&quot;: &quot;drive#teamDrive&quot;,
&quot;name&quot;: &quot;Test Drive&quot;
}
]</code></pre>
<p>With the -o config parameter it will output the list in a format
suitable for adding to a config file to make aliases for all the drives
found and a combined drive.</p>
<pre><code>[My Drive]
type = alias
remote = drive,team_drive=0ABCDEF-01234567890,root_folder_id=:
[Test Drive]
type = alias
remote = drive,team_drive=0ABCDEFabcdefghijkl,root_folder_id=:
[AllDrives]
type = combine
upstreams = &quot;My Drive=My Drive:&quot; &quot;Test Drive=Test Drive:&quot;</code></pre>
<p>Adding this to the rclone config file will cause those team drives to
be accessible with the aliases shown. Any illegal characters will be
substituted with "_" and duplicate names will have numbers suffixed. It
will also add a remote called AllDrives which shows all the shared
drives combined into one directory tree.</p>
<h3 id="untrash">untrash</h3>
<p>Untrash files and directories</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend untrash remote: [options] [&lt;arguments&gt;+]</code></pre>
<p>This command untrashes all the files and directories in the directory
passed in recursively.</p>
<p>Usage:</p>
<p>This takes an optional directory to trash which make this easier to
use via the API.</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend untrash drive:directory
rclone backend --interactive untrash drive:directory subdir</code></pre>
<p>Use the --interactive/-i or --dry-run flag to see what would be
restored before restoring it.</p>
<p>Result:</p>
<pre><code>{
&quot;Untrashed&quot;: 17,
&quot;Errors&quot;: 0
}</code></pre>
<h3 id="copyid">copyid</h3>
<p>Copy files by ID</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend copyid remote: [options] [&lt;arguments&gt;+]</code></pre>
<p>This command copies files by ID</p>
<p>Usage:</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend copyid drive: ID path
rclone backend copyid drive: ID1 path1 ID2 path2</code></pre>
<p>It copies the drive file with ID given to the path (an rclone path
which will be passed internally to rclone copyto). The ID and path pairs
can be repeated.</p>
<p>The path should end with a / to indicate copy the file as named to
this directory. If it doesn't end with a / then the last path component
will be used as the file name.</p>
<p>If the destination is a drive backend then server-side copying will
be attempted if possible.</p>
<p>Use the --interactive/-i or --dry-run flag to see what would be
copied before copying.</p>

Drive Search query terms and operators</a>.</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend query drive: &quot;&#39;0ABc9DEFGHIJKLMNop0QRatUVW3X&#39; in parents and name contains &#39;foo&#39;&quot;</code></pre>
<p>If the query contains literal ' or  characters, these need to be
escaped with  characters. "'" becomes "'" and "" becomes "\", for
example to match a file named "foo ' .txt":</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend query drive: &quot;name = &#39;foo \&#39; \\\.txt&#39;&quot;</code></pre>
<p>The result is a JSON array of matches, for example:</p>

<h2 id="limitations-14">Limitations</h2>
<p>Drive has quite a lot of rate limiting. This causes rclone to be
limited to transferring about 2 files per second only. Individual files
may be transferred much faster at 100s of MiB/s but lots of small files
can take a long time.</p>
<p>Server side copies are also subject to a separate rate limit. If you
see User rate limit exceeded errors, wait at least 24 hours and retry.
You can disable server-side copies with <code>--disable copy</code> to
download and upload the files if you prefer.</p>
<h3 id="limitations-of-google-docs">Limitations of Google Docs</h3>
<p>Google docs will appear as size -1 in <code>rclone ls</code>,
<code>rclone ncdu</code> etc, and as size 0 in anything which uses the
VFS layer, e.g. <code>rclone mount</code> and <code>rclone serve</code>.
When calculating directory totals, e.g. in <code>rclone size</code> and
<code>rclone ncdu</code>, they will be counted in as empty files.</p>
<p>This is because rclone can't find out the size of the Google docs
without downloading them.</p>
<p>Google docs will transfer correctly with <code>rclone sync</code>,
<code>rclone copy</code> etc as rclone knows to ignore the size when
doing the transfer.</p>
<p>However an unfortunate consequence of this is that you may not be
able to download Google docs using <code>rclone mount</code>. If it
doesn't work you will get a 0 sized file. If you try again the doc may
gain its correct size and be downloadable. Whether it will work on not
depends on the application accessing the mount and the OS you are
running - experiment to find out if it does work for you!</p>
<h3 id="duplicated-files-2">Duplicated files</h3>
<p>Sometimes, for no reason I've been able to track down, drive will
duplicate a file that rclone uploads. Drive unlike all the other remotes
can have duplicated files.</p>
<p>Duplicated files cause problems with the syncing and you will see
messages in the log about duplicates.</p>
<p>Use <code>rclone dedupe</code> to fix duplicated files.</p>
<p>Note that this isn't just a problem with rclone, even Google Photos
on Android duplicates files on drive sometimes.</p>
<h3 id="rclone-appears-to-be-re-copying-files-it-shouldnt">Rclone
appears to be re-copying files it shouldn't</h3>
<p>The most likely cause of this is the duplicated file issue above -
run <code>rclone dedupe</code> and check your logs for duplicate object
or directory messages.</p>
<p>This can also be caused by a delay/caching on google drive's end when
comparing directory listings. Specifically with team drives used in
combination with --fast-list. Files that were uploaded recently may not
appear on the directory list sent to rclone when using --fast-list.</p>
<p>Waiting a moderate period of time between attempts (estimated to be
approximately 1 hour) and/or not using --fast-list both seem to be
effective in preventing the problem.</p>
<h3 id="sha1-or-sha256-hashes-may-be-missing">SHA1 or SHA256 hashes may
be missing</h3>
<p>All files have MD5 hashes, but a small fraction of files uploaded may
not have SHA1 or SHA256 hashes especially if they were uploaded before
2018.</p>
<h2 id="making-your-own-client_id">Making your own client_id</h2>
<p>When you use rclone with Google drive in its default configuration
you are using rclone's client_id. This is shared between all the rclone
users. There is a global rate limit on the number of queries per second
that each client_id can do set by Google. rclone already has a high
quota and I will continue to make sure it is high enough by contacting
Google.</p>
<p>It is strongly recommended to use your own client ID as the default
rclone ID is heavily used. If you have multiple services running, it is
recommended to use an API key for each service. The default Google quota
is 10 transactions per second so it is recommended to stay under that
number as if you use more than that, it will cause rclone to rate limit
and make things slower.</p>
<p>Here is how to create your own Google Drive client ID for rclone:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li><p>Log into the <a
href="https://console.developers.google.com/">Google API Console</a>
with your Google account. It doesn't matter what Google account you use.
(It need not be the same account as the Google Drive you want to
access)</p></li>
<li><p>Select a project or create a new project.</p></li>
<li><p>Under "ENABLE APIS AND SERVICES" search for "Drive", and enable
the "Google Drive API".</p></li>
<li><p>Click "Credentials" in the left-side panel (not "Create
credentials", which opens the wizard).</p></li>
<li><p>If you already configured an "Oauth Consent Screen", then skip to
the next step; if not, click on "CONFIGURE CONSENT SCREEN" button (near
the top right corner of the right panel), then select "External" and
click on "CREATE"; on the next screen, enter an "Application name"
("rclone" is OK); enter "User Support Email" (your own email is OK);
enter "Developer Contact Email" (your own email is OK); then click on
"Save" (all other data is optional). You will also have to add <a
href="https://developers.google.com/drive/api/guides/api-specific-auth">some
scopes</a>, including</p></li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li><code>https://www.googleapis.com/auth/docs</code></li>
<li><code>https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive</code> in order to be
able to edit, create and delete files with RClone.</li>
<li><code>https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.metadata.readonly</code>
which you may also want to add.</li>
<li>If you want to add all at once, comma separated it would be
<code>https://www.googleapis.com/auth/docs,https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive,https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.metadata.readonly</code>.</li>
</ul>
<ol start="6" type="1">
<li><p>After adding scopes, click "Save and continue" to add test users.
Be sure to add your own account to the test users. Once you've added
yourself as a test user and saved the changes, click again on
"Credentials" on the left panel to go back to the "Credentials"
screen.</p>
<p>(PS: if you are a GSuite user, you could also select "Internal"
instead of "External" above, but this will restrict API use to Google
Workspace users in your organisation).</p></li>
<li><p>Click on the "+ CREATE CREDENTIALS" button at the top of the
screen, then select "OAuth client ID".</p></li>
<li><p>Choose an application type of "Desktop app" and click "Create".
(the default name is fine)</p></li>
<li><p>It will show you a client ID and client secret. Make a note of
these.</p>
<p>(If you selected "External" at Step 5 continue to Step 10. If you
chose "Internal" you don't need to publish and can skip straight to Step
11 but your destination drive must be part of the same Google
Workspace.)</p></li>
<li><p>Go to "Oauth consent screen" and then click "PUBLISH APP" button
and confirm. You will also want to add yourself as a test user.</p></li>
<li><p>Provide the noted client ID and client secret to rclone.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Be aware that, due to the "enhanced security" recently introduced by
Google, you are theoretically expected to "submit your app for
verification" and then wait a few weeks(!) for their response; in
practice, you can go right ahead and use the client ID and client secret
with rclone, the only issue will be a very scary confirmation screen
shown when you connect via your browser for rclone to be able to get its
token-id (but as this only happens during the remote configuration, it's
not such a big deal). Keeping the application in "Testing" will work as
well, but the limitation is that any grants will expire after a week,
which can be annoying to refresh constantly. If, for whatever reason, a
short grant time is not a problem, then keeping the application in
testing mode would also be sufficient.</p>

<p>Sometimes, creation of an OAuth consent in Google API Console fails
due to an error message “The request failed because changes to one of
the field of the resource is not supported”. As a convenient workaround,
the necessary Google Drive API key can be created on the <a
href="https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/quickstart/python">Python
Quickstart</a> page. Just push the Enable the Drive API button to
receive the Client ID and Secret. Note that it will automatically create
a new project in the API Console.</p>
<h1 id="google-photos">Google Photos</h1>
<p>The rclone backend for <a
href="https://www.google.com/photos/about/">Google Photos</a> is a
specialized backend for transferring photos and videos to and from
Google Photos.</p>
<p><strong>NB</strong> The Google Photos API which rclone uses has quite
a few limitations, so please read the <a href="#limitations">limitations
section</a> carefully to make sure it is suitable for your use.</p>
<h2 id="configuration-19">Configuration</h2>
<p>The initial setup for google cloud storage involves getting a token
from Google Photos which you need to do in your browser.
<code>rclone config</code> walks you through it.</p>
<p>Here is an example of how to make a remote called
<code>remote</code>. First run:</p>
<pre><code> rclone config</code></pre>
<p>This will guide you through an interactive setup process:</p>

y/e/d&gt; y</code></pre>
<p>See the <a href="https://rclone.org/remote_setup/">remote setup
docs</a> for how to set it up on a machine with no Internet browser
available.</p>
<p>Note that rclone runs a webserver on your local machine to collect
the token as returned from Google if using web browser to automatically
authenticate. This only runs from the moment it opens your browser to
the moment you get back the verification code. This is on
<code>http://127.0.0.1:53682/</code> and this may require you to unblock
it temporarily if you are running a host firewall, or use manual
mode.</p>
<p>This remote is called <code>remote</code> and can now be used like
this</p>
<p>See all the albums in your photos</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsd remote:album</code></pre>
<p>Make a new album</p>
<pre><code>rclone mkdir remote:album/newAlbum</code></pre>
<p>List the contents of an album</p>
<pre><code>rclone ls remote:album/newAlbum</code></pre>
<p>Sync <code>/home/local/images</code> to the Google Photos, removing
any excess files in the album.</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync --interactive /home/local/image remote:album/newAlbum</code></pre>
<h3 id="layout">Layout</h3>
<p>As Google Photos is not a general purpose cloud storage system, the
backend is laid out to help you navigate it.</p>
<p>The directories under <code>media</code> show different ways of
categorizing the media. Each file will appear multiple times. So if you
want to make a backup of your google photos you might choose to backup
<code>remote:media/by-month</code>. (<strong>NB</strong>
<code>remote:media/by-day</code> is rather slow at the moment so avoid
for syncing.)</p>
<p>Note that all your photos and videos will appear somewhere under
<code>media</code>, but they may not appear under <code>album</code>
unless you've put them into albums.</p>

<p>There are two writable parts of the tree, the <code>upload</code>
directory and sub directories of the <code>album</code> directory.</p>
<p>The <code>upload</code> directory is for uploading files you don't
want to put into albums. This will be empty to start with and will
contain the files you've uploaded for one rclone session only, becoming
empty again when you restart rclone. The use case for this would be if
you have a load of files you just want to once off dump into Google
Photos. For repeated syncing, uploading to <code>album</code> will work
better.</p>
<p>Directories within the <code>album</code> directory are also
writeable and you may create new directories (albums) under
<code>album</code>. If you copy files with a directory hierarchy in
there then rclone will create albums with the <code>/</code> character
in them. For example if you do</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy /path/to/images remote:album/images</code></pre>
<p>and the images directory contains</p>
<pre><code>images
- file1.jpg
dir
file2.jpg
dir2
dir3
file3.jpg</code></pre>
<p>Then rclone will create the following albums with the following files
in</p>
<ul>
<li>images
<ul>
<li>file1.jpg</li>
</ul></li>
<li>images/dir
<ul>
<li>file2.jpg</li>
</ul></li>
<li>images/dir2/dir3
<ul>
<li>file3.jpg</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<p>This means that you can use the <code>album</code> path pretty much
like a normal filesystem and it is a good target for repeated
syncing.</p>
<p>The <code>shared-album</code> directory shows albums shared with you
or by you. This is similar to the Sharing tab in the Google Photos web
interface.</p>

</ul>
<h4 id="gphotos-read-size">--gphotos-read-size</h4>
<p>Set to read the size of media items.</p>
<p>Normally rclone does not read the size of media items since this
takes another transaction. This isn't necessary for syncing. However
rclone mount needs to know the size of files in advance of reading them,
so setting this flag when using rclone mount is recommended if you want
to read the media.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>

<h4 id="gphotos-include-archived">--gphotos-include-archived</h4>
<p>Also view and download archived media.</p>
<p>By default, rclone does not request archived media. Thus, when
syncing, archived media is not visible in directory listings or
transferred.</p>
<p>Note that media in albums is always visible and synced, no matter
their archive status.</p>
<p>With this flag, archived media are always visible in directory
listings and transferred.</p>
<p>Without this flag, archived media will not be visible in directory
listings and won't be transferred.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>

<li>Default: Slash,CrLf,InvalidUtf8,Dot</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="gphotos-batch-mode">--gphotos-batch-mode</h4>
<p>Upload file batching sync|async|off.</p>
<p>This sets the batch mode used by rclone.</p>
<p>This has 3 possible values</p>
<ul>
<li>off - no batching</li>
<li>sync - batch uploads and check completion (default)</li>
<li>async - batch upload and don't check completion</li>
</ul>
<p>Rclone will close any outstanding batches when it exits which may
make a delay on quit.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: batch_mode</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_GPHOTOS_BATCH_MODE</li>
<li>Type: string</li>
<li>Default: "sync"</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="gphotos-batch-size">--gphotos-batch-size</h4>
<p>Max number of files in upload batch.</p>
<p>This sets the batch size of files to upload. It has to be less than
50.</p>
<p>By default this is 0 which means rclone will calculate the batch size
depending on the setting of batch_mode.</p>
<ul>
<li>batch_mode: async - default batch_size is 50</li>
<li>batch_mode: sync - default batch_size is the same as
--transfers</li>
<li>batch_mode: off - not in use</li>
</ul>
<p>Rclone will close any outstanding batches when it exits which may
make a delay on quit.</p>
<p>Setting this is a great idea if you are uploading lots of small files
as it will make them a lot quicker. You can use --transfers 32 to
maximise throughput.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: batch_size</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_GPHOTOS_BATCH_SIZE</li>
<li>Type: int</li>
<li>Default: 0</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="gphotos-batch-timeout">--gphotos-batch-timeout</h4>
<p>Max time to allow an idle upload batch before uploading.</p>
<p>If an upload batch is idle for more than this long then it will be
uploaded.</p>
<p>The default for this is 0 which means rclone will choose a sensible
default based on the batch_mode in use.</p>
<ul>
<li>batch_mode: async - default batch_timeout is 10s</li>
<li>batch_mode: sync - default batch_timeout is 1s</li>

<li>Type: string</li>
<li>Required: false</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="limitations-15">Limitations</h2>
<p>Only images and videos can be uploaded. If you attempt to upload non
videos or images or formats that Google Photos doesn't understand,
rclone will upload the file, then Google Photos will give an error when
it is put turned into a media item.</p>
<p>Note that all media items uploaded to Google Photos through the API
are stored in full resolution at "original quality" and
<strong>will</strong> count towards your storage quota in your Google
Account. The API does <strong>not</strong> offer a way to upload in
"high quality" mode..</p>
<p><code>rclone about</code> is not supported by the Google Photos
backend. Backends without this capability cannot determine free space
for an rclone mount or use policy <code>mfs</code> (most free space) as
a member of an rclone union remote.</p>
<p>See <a href="https://rclone.org/overview/#optional-features">List of
backends that do not support rclone about</a> See <a

<h3 id="downloading-images">Downloading Images</h3>
<p>When Images are downloaded this strips EXIF location (according to

and is covered by <a
href="https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/112096115">bug
#112096115</a>.</p>
<p><strong>The current google API does not allow photos to be downloaded
at original resolution. This is very important if you are, for example,
relying on "Google Photos" as a backup of your photos. You will not be
able to use rclone to redownload original images. You could use 'google
takeout' to recover the original photos as a last resort</strong></p>
<h3 id="downloading-videos">Downloading Videos</h3>
<p>When videos are downloaded they are downloaded in a really compressed
version of the video compared to downloading it via the Google Photos
web interface. This is covered by <a
href="https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/113672044">bug
#113672044</a>.</p>
<h3 id="duplicates">Duplicates</h3>
<p>If a file name is duplicated in a directory then rclone will add the
file ID into its name. So two files called <code>file.jpg</code> would
then appear as <code>file {123456}.jpg</code> and
<code>file {ABCDEF}.jpg</code> (the actual IDs are a lot longer
alas!).</p>
<p>If you upload the same image (with the same binary data) twice then
Google Photos will deduplicate it. However it will retain the filename
from the first upload which may confuse rclone. For example if you
uploaded an image to <code>upload</code> then uploaded the same image to
<code>album/my_album</code> the filename of the image in
<code>album/my_album</code> will be what it was uploaded with initially,
not what you uploaded it with to <code>album</code>. In practise this
shouldn't cause too many problems.</p>
<h3 id="modification-times-6">Modification times</h3>
<p>The date shown of media in Google Photos is the creation date as
determined by the EXIF information, or the upload date if that is not
known.</p>
<p>This is not changeable by rclone and is not the modification date of
the media on local disk. This means that rclone cannot use the dates
from Google Photos for syncing purposes.</p>
<h3 id="size">Size</h3>
<p>The Google Photos API does not return the size of media. This means
that when syncing to Google Photos, rclone can only do a file existence
check.</p>
<p>It is possible to read the size of the media, but this needs an extra
HTTP HEAD request per media item so is <strong>very slow</strong> and
uses up a lot of transactions. This can be enabled with the
<code>--gphotos-read-size</code> option or the
<code>read_size = true</code> config parameter.</p>
<p>If you want to use the backend with <code>rclone mount</code> you may
need to enable this flag (depending on your OS and application using the
photos) otherwise you may not be able to read media off the mount.
You'll need to experiment to see if it works for you without the
flag.</p>
<h3 id="albums">Albums</h3>
<p>Rclone can only upload files to albums it created. This is a <a
href="https://developers.google.com/photos/library/guides/manage-albums">limitation
of the Google Photos API</a>.</p>
<p>Rclone can remove files it uploaded from albums it created only.</p>
<h3 id="deleting-files-2">Deleting files</h3>
<p>Rclone can remove files from albums it created, but note that the
Google Photos API does not allow media to be deleted permanently so this
media will still remain. See <a
href="https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/109759781">bug
#109759781</a>.</p>
<p>Rclone cannot delete files anywhere except under
<code>album</code>.</p>
<h3 id="deleting-albums">Deleting albums</h3>
<p>The Google Photos API does not support deleting albums - see <a
href="https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/135714733">bug
#135714733</a>.</p>
<h1 id="hasher">Hasher</h1>
<p>Hasher is a special overlay backend to create remotes which handle
checksums for other remotes. It's main functions include: - Emulate hash
types unimplemented by backends - Cache checksums to help with slow
hashing of large local or (S)FTP files - Warm up checksum cache from
external SUM files</p>
<h2 id="getting-started-1">Getting started</h2>
<p>To use Hasher, first set up the underlying remote following the
configuration instructions for that remote. You can also use a local
pathname instead of a remote. Check that your base remote is
working.</p>
<p>Let's call the base remote <code>myRemote:path</code> here. Note that
anything inside <code>myRemote:path</code> will be handled by hasher and
anything outside won't. This means that if you are using a bucket based
remote (S3, B2, Swift) then you should put the bucket in the remote
<code>s3:bucket</code>.</p>
<p>Now proceed to interactive or manual configuration.</p>
<h3 id="interactive-configuration">Interactive configuration</h3>
<p>Run <code>rclone config</code>:</p>
<pre><code>No remotes found, make a new one?
n) New remote
s) Set configuration password
q) Quit config
n/s/q&gt; n

e) Edit this remote
d) Delete this remote
y/e/d&gt; y</code></pre>
<h3 id="manual-configuration">Manual configuration</h3>
<p>Run <code>rclone config path</code> to see the path of current active
config file, usually <code>YOURHOME/.config/rclone/rclone.conf</code>.
Open it in your favorite text editor, find section for the base remote
and create new section for hasher like in the following examples:</p>
<pre><code>[Hasher1]
type = hasher
remote = myRemote:path
hashes = md5
max_age = off
[Hasher2]
type = hasher
remote = /local/path
hashes = dropbox,sha1
max_age = 24h</code></pre>
<p>Hasher takes basically the following parameters: -
<code>remote</code> is required, - <code>hashes</code> is a comma
separated list of supported checksums (by default
<code>md5,sha1</code>), - <code>max_age</code> - maximum time to keep a
checksum value in the cache, <code>0</code> will disable caching
completely, <code>off</code> will cache "forever" (that is until the
files get changed).</p>
<p>Make sure the <code>remote</code> has <code>:</code> (colon) in. If
you specify the remote without a colon then rclone will use a local
directory of that name. So if you use a remote of
<code>/local/path</code> then rclone will handle hashes for that
directory. If you use <code>remote = name</code> literally then rclone
will put files <strong>in a directory called <code>name</code> located
under current directory</strong>.</p>
<h2 id="usage-1">Usage</h2>
<h3 id="basic-operations">Basic operations</h3>
<p>Now you can use it as <code>Hasher2:subdir/file</code> instead of
base remote. Hasher will transparently update cache with new checksums
when a file is fully read or overwritten, like:</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy External:path/file Hasher:dest/path
rclone cat Hasher:path/to/file &gt; /dev/null</code></pre>
<p>The way to refresh <strong>all</strong> cached checksums (even
unsupported by the base backend) for a subtree is to
<strong>re-download</strong> all files in the subtree. For example, use
<code>hashsum --download</code> using <strong>any</strong> supported
hashsum on the command line (we just care to re-read):</p>
<pre><code>rclone hashsum MD5 --download Hasher:path/to/subtree &gt; /dev/null
rclone backend dump Hasher:path/to/subtree</code></pre>
<p>You can print or drop hashsum cache using custom backend
commands:</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend dump Hasher:dir/subdir
rclone backend drop Hasher:</code></pre>
<h3 id="pre-seed-from-a-sum-file">Pre-Seed from a SUM File</h3>
<p>Hasher supports two backend commands: generic SUM file
<code>import</code> and faster but less consistent
<code>stickyimport</code>.</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend import Hasher:dir/subdir SHA1 /path/to/SHA1SUM [--checkers 4]</code></pre>
<p>Instead of SHA1 it can be any hash supported by the remote. The last
argument can point to either a local or an
<code>other-remote:path</code> text file in SUM format. The command will
parse the SUM file, then walk down the path given by the first argument,
snapshot current fingerprints and fill in the cache entries
correspondingly. - Paths in the SUM file are treated as relative to
<code>hasher:dir/subdir</code>. - The command will <strong>not</strong>
check that supplied values are correct. You <strong>must know</strong>
what you are doing. - This is a one-time action. The SUM file will not
get "attached" to the remote. Cache entries can still be overwritten
later, should the object's fingerprint change. - The tree walk can take
long depending on the tree size. You can increase
<code>--checkers</code> to make it faster. Or use
<code>stickyimport</code> if you don't care about fingerprints and
consistency.</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend stickyimport hasher:path/to/data sha1 remote:/path/to/sum.sha1</code></pre>
<p><code>stickyimport</code> is similar to <code>import</code> but works
much faster because it does not need to stat existing files and skips
initial tree walk. Instead of binding cache entries to file fingerprints
it creates <em>sticky</em> entries bound to the file name alone ignoring
size, modification time etc. Such hash entries can be replaced only by
<code>purge</code>, <code>delete</code>, <code>backend drop</code> or by
full re-read/re-write of the files.</p>

<h2 id="implementation-details-advanced">Implementation details
(advanced)</h2>
<p>This section explains how various rclone operations work on a hasher
remote.</p>
<p><strong>Disclaimer. This section describes current implementation
which can change in future rclone versions!.</strong></p>
<h3 id="hashsum-command">Hashsum command</h3>
<p>The <code>rclone hashsum</code> (or <code>md5sum</code> or
<code>sha1sum</code>) command will:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>if requested hash is supported by lower level, just pass it.</li>
<li>if object size is below <code>auto_size</code> then download object
and calculate <em>requested</em> hashes on the fly.</li>
<li>if unsupported and the size is big enough, build object
<code>fingerprint</code> (including size, modtime if supported,
first-found <em>other</em> hash if any).</li>
<li>if the strict match is found in cache for the requested remote,
return the stored hash.</li>
<li>if remote found but fingerprint mismatched, then purge the entry and
proceed to step 6.</li>
<li>if remote not found or had no requested hash type or after step 5:
download object, calculate all <em>supported</em> hashes on the fly and
store in cache; return requested hash.</li>
</ol>
<h3 id="other-operations">Other operations</h3>
<ul>
<li>any time a hash is requested, follow the logic from 1-4 from
<code>hashsum</code> above</li>
<li>whenever a file is uploaded or downloaded <strong>in full</strong>,
capture the stream to calculate all supported hashes on the fly and
update database</li>
<li>server-side <code>move</code> will update keys of existing cache
entries</li>
<li><code>deletefile</code> will remove a single cache entry</li>
<li><code>purge</code> will remove all cache entries under the purged
path</li>
</ul>
<p>Note that setting <code>max_age = 0</code> will disable checksum
caching completely.</p>
<p>If you set <code>max_age = off</code>, checksums in cache will never
age, unless you fully rewrite or delete the file.</p>
<h3 id="cache-storage">Cache storage</h3>
<p>Cached checksums are stored as <code>bolt</code> database files under
rclone cache directory, usually <code>~/.cache/rclone/kv/</code>.
Databases are maintained one per <em>base</em> backend, named like
<code>BaseRemote~hasher.bolt</code>. Checksums for multiple
<code>alias</code>-es into a single base backend will be stored in the
single database. All local paths are treated as aliases into the
<code>local</code> backend (unless encrypted or chunked) and stored in
<code>~/.cache/rclone/kv/local~hasher.bolt</code>. Databases can be
shared between multiple rclone processes.</p>

<p><strong>You should be aware that OAuth-tokens can be used to access
your account and hence should not be shared with other persons.</strong>
See the <a href="#keeping-your-tokens-safe">below section</a> for more
information.</p>
<p>See the <a href="https://rclone.org/remote_setup/">remote setup
docs</a> for how to set it up on a machine with no Internet browser
available.</p>
<p>Note that rclone runs a webserver on your local machine to collect
the token as returned from HiDrive. This only runs from the moment it
opens your browser to the moment you get back the verification code. The
webserver runs on <code>http://127.0.0.1:53682/</code>. If local port
<code>53682</code> is protected by a firewall you may need to
temporarily unblock the firewall to complete authorization.</p>
<p>Once configured you can then use <code>rclone</code> like this,</p>
<p>List directories in top level of your HiDrive root folder</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsd remote:</code></pre>
<p>List all the files in your HiDrive filesystem</p>
<pre><code>rclone ls remote:</code></pre>
<p>To copy a local directory to a HiDrive directory called backup</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy /home/source remote:backup</code></pre>
<h3 id="keeping-your-tokens-safe">Keeping your tokens safe</h3>
<p>Any OAuth-tokens will be stored by rclone in the remote's
configuration file as unencrypted text. Anyone can use a valid
refresh-token to access your HiDrive filesystem without knowing your
password. Therefore you should make sure no one else can access your
configuration.</p>
<p>It is possible to encrypt rclone's configuration file. You can find
information on securing your configuration file by viewing the <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#configuration-encryption">configuration
encryption docs</a>.</p>
<h3 id="invalid-refresh-token-1">Invalid refresh token</h3>
<p>As can be verified <a
href="https://developer.hidrive.com/basics-flows/">here</a>, each
<code>refresh_token</code> (for Native Applications) is valid for 60
days. If used to access HiDrivei, its validity will be automatically
extended.</p>
<p>This means that if you</p>
<ul>
<li>Don't use the HiDrive remote for 60 days</li>
</ul>
<p>then rclone will return an error which includes a text that implies
the refresh token is <em>invalid</em> or <em>expired</em>.</p>
<p>To fix this you will need to authorize rclone to access your HiDrive
account again.</p>
<p>Using</p>
<pre><code>rclone config reconnect remote:</code></pre>
<p>the process is very similar to the process of initial setup
exemplified before.</p>
<h3 id="modification-times-and-hashes-9">Modification times and
hashes</h3>
<p>HiDrive allows modification times to be set on objects accurate to 1
second.</p>
<p>HiDrive supports <a href="https://static.hidrive.com/dev/0001">its
own hash type</a> which is used to verify the integrity of file contents
after successful transfers.</p>
<h3 id="restricted-filename-characters-11">Restricted filename
characters</h3>
<p>HiDrive cannot store files or folders that include <code>/</code>
(0x2F) or null-bytes (0x00) in their name. Any other characters can be
used in the names of files or folders. Additionally, files or folders
cannot be named either of the following: <code>.</code> or
<code>..</code></p>
<p>Therefore rclone will automatically replace these characters, if
files or folders are stored or accessed with such names.</p>
<p>You can read about how this filename encoding works in general <a
href="overview/#restricted-filenames">here</a>.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that HiDrive only supports file or folder names with a
length of 255 characters or less.</p>
<h3 id="transfers-3">Transfers</h3>
<p>HiDrive limits file sizes per single request to a maximum of 2 GiB.
To allow storage of larger files and allow for better upload
performance, the hidrive backend will use a chunked transfer for files
larger than 96 MiB. Rclone will upload multiple parts/chunks of the file
at the same time. Chunks in the process of being uploaded are buffered
in memory, so you may want to restrict this behaviour on systems with
limited resources.</p>
<p>You can customize this behaviour using the following options:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>chunk_size</code>: size of file parts</li>
<li><code>upload_cutoff</code>: files larger or equal to this in size
will use a chunked transfer</li>
<li><code>upload_concurrency</code>: number of file-parts to upload at
the same time</li>
</ul>
<p>See the below section about configuration options for more
details.</p>
<h3 id="root-folder">Root folder</h3>
<p>You can set the root folder for rclone. This is the directory that
rclone considers to be the root of your HiDrive.</p>
<p>Usually, you will leave this blank, and rclone will use the root of
the account.</p>
<p>However, you can set this to restrict rclone to a specific folder
hierarchy.</p>
<p>This works by prepending the contents of the <code>root_prefix</code>
option to any paths accessed by rclone. For example, the following two
ways to access the home directory are equivalent:</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsd --hidrive-root-prefix=&quot;/users/test/&quot; remote:path
rclone lsd remote:/users/test/path</code></pre>
<p>See the below section about configuration options for more
details.</p>
<h3 id="directory-member-count">Directory member count</h3>
<p>By default, rclone will know the number of directory members
contained in a directory. For example, <code>rclone lsd</code> uses this
information.</p>
<p>The acquisition of this information will result in additional time
costs for HiDrive's API. When dealing with large directory structures,
it may be desirable to circumvent this time cost, especially when this
information is not explicitly needed. For this, the
<code>disable_fetching_member_count</code> option can be used.</p>
<p>See the below section about configuration options for more
details.</p>

<h4 id="hidrive-chunk-size">--hidrive-chunk-size</h4>
<p>Chunksize for chunked uploads.</p>
<p>Any files larger than the configured cutoff (or files of unknown
size) will be uploaded in chunks of this size.</p>
<p>The upper limit for this is 2147483647 bytes (about 2.000Gi). That is
the maximum amount of bytes a single upload-operation will support.
Setting this above the upper limit or to a negative value will cause
uploads to fail.</p>
<p>Setting this to larger values may increase the upload speed at the
cost of using more memory. It can be set to smaller values smaller to

<p>Concurrency for chunked uploads.</p>
<p>This is the upper limit for how many transfers for the same file are
running concurrently. Setting this above to a value smaller than 1 will
cause uploads to deadlock.</p>
<p>If you are uploading small numbers of large files over high-speed
links and these uploads do not fully utilize your bandwidth, then
increasing this may help to speed up the transfers.</p>

</ul>
<h2 id="limitations-17">Limitations</h2>
<h3 id="symbolic-links">Symbolic links</h3>
<p>HiDrive is able to store symbolic links (<em>symlinks</em>) by
design, for example, when unpacked from a zip archive.</p>
<p>There exists no direct mechanism to manage native symlinks in
remotes. As such this implementation has chosen to ignore any native
symlinks present in the remote. rclone will not be able to access or
show any symlinks stored in the hidrive-remote. This means symlinks
cannot be individually removed, copied, or moved, except when removing,
copying, or moving the parent folder.</p>
<p><em>This does not affect the <code>.rclonelink</code>-files that
rclone uses to encode and store symbolic links.</em></p>
<h3 id="sparse-files">Sparse files</h3>
<p>It is possible to store sparse files in HiDrive.</p>
<p>Note that copying a sparse file will expand the holes into null-byte
(0x00) regions that will then consume disk space. Likewise, when
downloading a sparse file, the resulting file will have null-byte
regions in the place of file holes.</p>
<h1 id="http">HTTP</h1>
<p>The HTTP remote is a read only remote for reading files of a
webserver. The webserver should provide file listings which rclone will
read and turn into a remote. This has been tested with common webservers
such as Apache/Nginx/Caddy and will likely work with file listings from
most web servers. (If it doesn't then please file an issue, or send a
pull request!)</p>
<p>Paths are specified as <code>remote:</code> or
<code>remote:path</code>.</p>
<p>The <code>remote:</code> represents the configured <a
href="#http-url">url</a>, and any path following it will be resolved
relative to this url, according to the URL standard. This means with
remote url <code>https://beta.rclone.org/branch</code> and path
<code>fix</code>, the resolved URL will be
<code>https://beta.rclone.org/branch/fix</code>, while with path
<code>/fix</code> the resolved URL will be
<code>https://beta.rclone.org/fix</code> as the absolute path is
resolved from the root of the domain.</p>
<p>If the path following the <code>remote:</code> ends with
<code>/</code> it will be assumed to point to a directory. If the path
does not end with <code>/</code>, then a HEAD request is sent and the
response used to decide if it it is treated as a file or a directory
(run with <code>-vv</code> to see details). When <a
href="#http-no-head">--http-no-head</a> is specified, a path without
ending <code>/</code> is always assumed to be a file. If rclone
incorrectly assumes the path is a file, the solution is to specify the
path with ending <code>/</code>. When you know the path is a directory,
ending it with <code>/</code> is always better as it avoids the initial
HEAD request.</p>
<p>To just download a single file it is easier to use <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_copyurl/">copyurl</a>.</p>
<h2 id="configuration-22">Configuration</h2>
<p>Here is an example of how to make a remote called

<h3 id="read-only">Read only</h3>
<p>This remote is read only - you can't upload files to an HTTP
server.</p>
<h3 id="modification-times-8">Modification times</h3>
<p>Most HTTP servers store time accurate to 1 second.</p>
<h3 id="checksum-1">Checksum</h3>
<p>No checksums are stored.</p>
<h3 id="usage-without-a-config-file">Usage without a config file</h3>
<p>Since the http remote only has one config parameter it is easy to use
without a config file:</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsd --http-url https://beta.rclone.org :http:</code></pre>
<p>or:</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsd :http,url=&#39;https://beta.rclone.org&#39;:</code></pre>
<h3 id="standard-options-23">Standard options</h3>
<p>Here are the Standard options specific to http (HTTP).</p>
<h4 id="http-url">--http-url</h4>
<p>URL of HTTP host to connect to.</p>
<p>E.g. "https://example.com", or "https://user:pass@example.com" to use

<h3 id="advanced-options-23">Advanced options</h3>
<p>Here are the Advanced options specific to http (HTTP).</p>
<h4 id="http-headers">--http-headers</h4>
<p>Set HTTP headers for all transactions.</p>
<p>Use this to set additional HTTP headers for all transactions.</p>
<p>The input format is comma separated list of key,value pairs. Standard
<a href="https://godoc.org/encoding/csv">CSV encoding</a> may be
used.</p>
<p>For example, to set a Cookie use 'Cookie,name=value', or
'"Cookie","name=value"'.</p>
<p>You can set multiple headers, e.g.
'"Cookie","name=value","Authorization","xxx"'.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: headers</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_HTTP_HEADERS</li>
<li>Type: CommaSepList</li>
<li>Default:</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="http-no-slash">--http-no-slash</h4>
<p>Set this if the site doesn't end directories with /.</p>
<p>Use this if your target website does not use / on the end of
directories.</p>
<p>A / on the end of a path is how rclone normally tells the difference
between files and directories. If this flag is set, then rclone will
treat all files with Content-Type: text/html as directories and read
URLs from them rather than downloading them.</p>
<p>Note that this may cause rclone to confuse genuine HTML files with
directories.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: no_slash</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_HTTP_NO_SLASH</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="http-no-head">--http-no-head</h4>
<p>Don't use HEAD requests.</p>
<p>HEAD requests are mainly used to find file sizes in dir listing. If
your site is being very slow to load then you can try this option.
Normally rclone does a HEAD request for each potential file in a
directory listing to:</p>
<ul>
<li>find its size</li>
<li>check it really exists</li>
<li>check to see if it is a directory</li>
</ul>
<p>If you set this option, rclone will not do the HEAD request. This
will mean that directory listings are much quicker, but rclone won't
have the times or sizes of any files, and some files that don't exist
may be in the listing.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: no_head</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_HTTP_NO_HEAD</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="http-description">--http-description</h4>
<p>Description of the remote.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: description</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_HTTP_DESCRIPTION</li>
<li>Type: string</li>
<li>Required: false</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="backend-commands-6">Backend commands</h2>
<p>Here are the commands specific to the http backend.</p>
<p>Run them with</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend COMMAND remote:</code></pre>
<p>The help below will explain what arguments each command takes.</p>
<p>See the <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_backend/">backend</a> command
for more info on how to pass options and arguments.</p>
<p>These can be run on a running backend using the rc command <a
href="https://rclone.org/rc/#backend-command">backend/command</a>.</p>
<h3 id="set-2">set</h3>
<p>Set command for updating the config parameters.</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend set remote: [options] [&lt;arguments&gt;+]</code></pre>
<p>This set command can be used to update the config parameters for a
running http backend.</p>
<p>Usage Examples:</p>
<pre><code>rclone backend set remote: [-o opt_name=opt_value] [-o opt_name2=opt_value2]
rclone rc backend/command command=set fs=remote: [-o opt_name=opt_value] [-o opt_name2=opt_value2]
rclone rc backend/command command=set fs=remote: -o url=https://example.com</code></pre>
<p>The option keys are named as they are in the config file.</p>
<p>This rebuilds the connection to the http backend when it is called
with the new parameters. Only new parameters need be passed as the
values will default to those currently in use.</p>
<p>It doesn't return anything.</p>
<h2 id="limitations-18">Limitations</h2>
<p><code>rclone about</code> is not supported by the HTTP backend.
Backends without this capability cannot determine free space for an
rclone mount or use policy <code>mfs</code> (most free space) as a
member of an rclone union remote.</p>

<h1 id="internet-archive">Internet Archive</h1>
<p>The Internet Archive backend utilizes Items on <a
href="https://archive.org/">archive.org</a></p>
<p>Refer to <a
href="https://archive.org/services/docs/api/ias3.html">IAS3 API
documentation</a> for the API this backend uses.</p>
<p>Paths are specified as <code>remote:bucket</code> (or
<code>remote:</code> for the <code>lsd</code> command.) You may put
subdirectories in too, e.g. <code>remote:item/path/to/dir</code>.</p>
<p>Unlike S3, listing up all items uploaded by you isn't supported.</p>
<p>Once you have made a remote, you can use it like this:</p>
<p>Make a new item</p>
<pre><code>rclone mkdir remote:item</code></pre>
<p>List the contents of a item</p>
<pre><code>rclone ls remote:item</code></pre>
<p>Sync <code>/home/local/directory</code> to the remote item, deleting
any excess files in the item.</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync --interactive /home/local/directory remote:item</code></pre>
<h2 id="notes">Notes</h2>
<p>Because of Internet Archive's architecture, it enqueues write
operations (and extra post-processings) in a per-item queue. You can
check item's queue at
https://catalogd.archive.org/history/item-name-here . Because of that,
all uploads/deletes will not show up immediately and takes some time to
be available. The per-item queue is enqueued to an another queue, Item
Deriver Queue. <a
href="https://catalogd.archive.org/catalog.php?whereami=1">You can check
the status of Item Deriver Queue here.</a> This queue has a limit, and
it may block you from uploading, or even deleting. You should avoid
uploading a lot of small files for better behavior.</p>
<p>You can optionally wait for the server's processing to finish, by
setting non-zero value to <code>wait_archive</code> key. By making it
wait, rclone can do normal file comparison. Make sure to set a large
enough value (e.g. <code>30m0s</code> for smaller files) as it can take
a long time depending on server's queue.</p>
<h2 id="about-metadata">About metadata</h2>
<p>This backend supports setting, updating and reading metadata of each
file. The metadata will appear as file metadata on Internet Archive.
However, some fields are reserved by both Internet Archive and
rclone.</p>
<p>The following are reserved by Internet Archive: - <code>name</code> -
<code>source</code> - <code>size</code> - <code>md5</code> -
<code>crc32</code> - <code>sha1</code> - <code>format</code> -
<code>old_version</code> - <code>viruscheck</code> -
<code>summation</code></p>
<p>Trying to set values to these keys is ignored with a warning. Only
setting <code>mtime</code> is an exception. Doing so make it the
identical behavior as setting ModTime.</p>
<p>rclone reserves all the keys starting with <code>rclone-</code>.
Setting value for these keys will give you warnings, but values are set
according to request.</p>
<p>If there are multiple values for a key, only the first one is
returned. This is a limitation of rclone, that supports one value per
one key. It can be triggered when you did a server-side copy.</p>
<p>Reading metadata will also provide custom (non-standard nor reserved)
ones.</p>
<h2 id="filtering-auto-generated-files">Filtering auto generated
files</h2>
<p>The Internet Archive automatically creates metadata files after
upload. These can cause problems when doing an <code>rclone sync</code>
as rclone will try, and fail, to delete them. These metadata files are
not changeable, as they are created by the Internet Archive
automatically.</p>
<p>These auto-created files can be excluded from the sync using <a
href="https://rclone.org/filtering/#metadata">metadata
filtering</a>.</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync ... --metadata-exclude &quot;source=metadata&quot; --metadata-exclude &quot;format=Metadata&quot;</code></pre>
<p>Which excludes from the sync any files which have the
<code>source=metadata</code> or <code>format=Metadata</code> flags which
are added to Internet Archive auto-created files.</p>
<h2 id="configuration-24">Configuration</h2>
<p>Here is an example of making an internetarchive configuration. Most

<h1 id="jottacloud">Jottacloud</h1>
<p>Jottacloud is a cloud storage service provider from a Norwegian
company, using its own datacenters in Norway. In addition to the
official service at <a
href="https://www.jottacloud.com/">jottacloud.com</a>, it also provides
white-label solutions to different companies, such as: * Telia * Telia
Cloud (cloud.telia.se) * Telia Sky (sky.telia.no) * Tele2 * Tele2 Cloud
(mittcloud.tele2.se) * Onlime * Onlime Cloud Storage (onlime.dk) *
Elkjøp (with subsidiaries): * Elkjøp Cloud (cloud.elkjop.no) *
Elgiganten Sweden (cloud.elgiganten.se) * Elgiganten Denmark
(cloud.elgiganten.dk) * Giganti Cloud (cloud.gigantti.fi) * ELKO Cloud
(cloud.elko.is)</p>
<p>Most of the white-label versions are supported by this backend,
although may require different authentication setup - described
below.</p>
<p>Paths are specified as <code>remote:path</code></p>
<p>Paths may be as deep as required, e.g.
<code>remote:directory/subdirectory</code>.</p>
<h2 id="authentication-types">Authentication types</h2>
<p>Some of the whitelabel versions uses a different authentication
method than the official service, and you have to choose the correct one
when setting up the remote.</p>
<h3 id="standard-authentication">Standard authentication</h3>
<p>The standard authentication method used by the official service
(jottacloud.com), as well as some of the whitelabel services, requires
you to generate a single-use personal login token from the account
security settings in the service's web interface. Log in to your
account, go to "Settings" and then "Security", or use the direct link
presented to you by rclone when configuring the remote: <a
href="https://www.jottacloud.com/web/secure"
class="uri">https://www.jottacloud.com/web/secure</a>. Scroll down to
the section "Personal login token", and click the "Generate" button.
Note that if you are using a whitelabel service you probably can't use
the direct link, you need to find the same page in their dedicated web
interface, and also it may be in a different location than described
above.</p>
<p>To access your account from multiple instances of rclone, you need to
configure each of them with a separate personal login token. E.g. you
create a Jottacloud remote with rclone in one location, and copy the
configuration file to a second location where you also want to run
rclone and access the same remote. Then you need to replace the token
for one of them, using the <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_config_reconnect/">config
reconnect</a> command, which requires you to generate a new personal
login token and supply as input. If you do not do this, the token may
easily end up being invalidated, resulting in both instances failing
with an error message something along the lines of:</p>
<pre><code>oauth2: cannot fetch token: 400 Bad Request
Response: {&quot;error&quot;:&quot;invalid_grant&quot;,&quot;error_description&quot;:&quot;Stale token&quot;}</code></pre>
<p>When this happens, you need to replace the token as described above
to be able to use your remote again.</p>
<p>All personal login tokens you have taken into use will be listed in
the web interface under "My logged in devices", and from the right side
of that list you can click the "X" button to revoke individual
tokens.</p>
<h3 id="legacy-authentication">Legacy authentication</h3>
<p>If you are using one of the whitelabel versions (e.g. from Elkjøp)
you may not have the option to generate a CLI token. In this case you'll
have to use the legacy authentication. To do this select yes when the
setup asks for legacy authentication and enter your username and
password. The rest of the setup is identical to the default setup.</p>
<h3 id="telia-cloud-authentication">Telia Cloud authentication</h3>
<p>Similar to other whitelabel versions Telia Cloud doesn't offer the
option of creating a CLI token, and additionally uses a separate
authentication flow where the username is generated internally. To setup
rclone to use Telia Cloud, choose Telia Cloud authentication in the
setup. The rest of the setup is identical to the default setup.</p>
<h3 id="tele2-cloud-authentication">Tele2 Cloud authentication</h3>
<p>As Tele2-Com Hem merger was completed this authentication can be used
for former Com Hem Cloud and Tele2 Cloud customers as no support for
creating a CLI token exists, and additionally uses a separate
authentication flow where the username is generated internally. To setup

authentication</h3>
<p>Onlime has sold access to Jottacloud proper, while providing
localized support to Danish Customers, but have recently set up their
own hosting, transferring their customers from Jottacloud servers to
their own ones.</p>
<p>This, of course, necessitates using their servers for authentication,
but otherwise functionality and architecture seems equivalent to
Jottacloud.</p>
<p>To setup rclone to use Onlime Cloud Storage, choose Onlime Cloud
authentication in the setup. The rest of the setup is identical to the

<p>Once configured you can then use <code>rclone</code> like this,</p>
<p>List directories in top level of your Jottacloud</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsd remote:</code></pre>
<p>List all the files in your Jottacloud</p>
<pre><code>rclone ls remote:</code></pre>
<p>To copy a local directory to an Jottacloud directory called
backup</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy /home/source remote:backup</code></pre>
<h3 id="devices-and-mountpoints">Devices and Mountpoints</h3>
<p>The official Jottacloud client registers a device for each computer
you install it on, and shows them in the backup section of the user
interface. For each folder you select for backup it will create a
mountpoint within this device. A built-in device called Jotta is
special, and contains mountpoints Archive, Sync and some others, used
for corresponding features in official clients.</p>
<p>With rclone you'll want to use the standard Jotta/Archive
device/mountpoint in most cases. However, you may for example want to
access files from the sync or backup functionality provided by the
official clients, and rclone therefore provides the option to select
other devices and mountpoints during config.</p>
<p>You are allowed to create new devices and mountpoints. All devices
except the built-in Jotta device are treated as backup devices by
official Jottacloud clients, and the mountpoints on them are individual
backup sets.</p>
<p>With the built-in Jotta device, only existing, built-in, mountpoints
can be selected. In addition to the mentioned Archive and Sync, it may
contain several other mountpoints such as: Latest, Links, Shared and
Trash. All of these are special mountpoints with a different internal
representation than the "regular" mountpoints. Rclone will only to a
very limited degree support them. Generally you should avoid these,
unless you know what you are doing.</p>
<h3 id="fast-list-4">--fast-list</h3>
<p>This backend supports <code>--fast-list</code> which allows you to
use fewer transactions in exchange for more memory. See the <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#fast-list">rclone docs</a> for more
details.</p>
<p>Note that the implementation in Jottacloud always uses only a single
API request to get the entire list, so for large folders this could lead
to long wait time before the first results are shown.</p>
<p>Note also that with rclone version 1.58 and newer, information about
<a href="https://rclone.org/overview/#mime-type">MIME types</a> and
metadata item <a href="#metadata">utime</a> are not available when using
<code>--fast-list</code>.</p>
<h3 id="modification-times-and-hashes-10">Modification times and
hashes</h3>
<p>Jottacloud allows modification times to be set on objects accurate to
1 second. These will be used to detect whether objects need syncing or
not.</p>
<p>Jottacloud supports MD5 type hashes, so you can use the
<code>--checksum</code> flag.</p>
<p>Note that Jottacloud requires the MD5 hash before upload so if the
source does not have an MD5 checksum then the file will be cached
temporarily on disk (in location given by <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#temp-dir-dir">--temp-dir</a>) before it
is uploaded. Small files will be cached in memory - see the <a
href="#jottacloud-md5-memory-limit">--jottacloud-md5-memory-limit</a>
flag. When uploading from local disk the source checksum is always
available, so this does not apply. Starting with rclone version 1.52 the
same is true for encrypted remotes (in older versions the crypt backend
would not calculate hashes for uploads from local disk, so the
Jottacloud backend had to do it as described above).</p>

<h3 id="deleting-files-3">Deleting files</h3>
<p>By default, rclone will send all files to the trash when deleting
files. They will be permanently deleted automatically after 30 days. You
may bypass the trash and permanently delete files immediately by using
the <a href="#jottacloud-hard-delete">--jottacloud-hard-delete</a> flag,
or set the equivalent environment variable. Emptying the trash is
supported by the <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_cleanup/">cleanup</a>
command.</p>
<h3 id="versions-3">Versions</h3>
<p>Jottacloud supports file versioning. When rclone uploads a new
version of a file it creates a new version of it. Currently rclone only
supports retrieving the current version but older versions can be
accessed via the Jottacloud Website.</p>
<p>Versioning can be disabled by <code>--jottacloud-no-versions</code>
option. This is achieved by deleting the remote file prior to uploading
a new version. If the upload the fails no version of the file will be
available in the remote.</p>
<h3 id="quota-information-1">Quota information</h3>
<p>To view your current quota you can use the
<code>rclone about remote:</code> command which will display your usage
limit (unless it is unlimited) and the current usage.</p>

<p>Configuration of this backend does not require a local web browser.
You can use the configured backend as shown below:</p>

<p>Make a new directory</p>
<pre><code>rclone mkdir remote:directory</code></pre>
<p>List the contents of a directory</p>
<pre><code>rclone ls remote:directory</code></pre>
<p>Sync <code>/home/local/directory</code> to the remote path, deleting
any excess files in the path.</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync --interactive /home/local/directory remote:directory</code></pre>
<h3 id="modification-times-and-hashes-11">Modification times and
hashes</h3>
<p>Files support a modification time attribute with up to 1 second
precision. Directories do not have a modification time, which is shown
as "Jan 1 1970".</p>
<p>File hashes are supported, with a custom Mail.ru algorithm based on
SHA1. If file size is less than or equal to the SHA1 block size (20
bytes), its hash is simply its data right-padded with zero bytes. Hashes
of a larger file is computed as a SHA1 of the file data bytes
concatenated with a decimal representation of the data length.</p>
<h3 id="emptying-trash-1">Emptying Trash</h3>
<p>Removing a file or directory actually moves it to the trash, which is
not visible to rclone but can be seen in a web browser. The trashed file
still occupies part of total quota. If you wish to empty your trash and
free some quota, you can use the <code>rclone cleanup remote:</code>
command, which will permanently delete all your trashed files. This
command does not take any path arguments.</p>
<h3 id="quota-information-2">Quota information</h3>
<p>To view your current quota you can use the
<code>rclone about remote:</code> command which will display your usage
limit (quota) and the current usage.</p>

<p>Skip full upload if there is another file with same data hash.</p>
<p>This feature is called "speedup" or "put by hash". It is especially
efficient in case of generally available files like popular books, video
or audio clips, because files are searched by hash in all accounts of
all mailru users. It is meaningless and ineffective if source file is
unique or encrypted. Please note that rclone may need local memory and
disk space to calculate content hash in advance and decide whether full
upload is required. Also, if rclone does not know file size in advance
(e.g. in case of streaming or partial uploads), it will not even try
this optimization.</p>

<h4 id="object-not-found">Object not found</h4>
<p>If you are connecting to your Mega remote for the first time, to test
access and synchronization, you may receive an error such as</p>
<pre><code>Failed to create file system for &quot;my-mega-remote:&quot;:
couldn&#39;t login: Object (typically, node or user) not found</code></pre>
<p>The diagnostic steps often recommended in the <a
href="https://forum.rclone.org/search?q=mega">rclone forum</a> start
with the <strong>MEGAcmd</strong> utility. Note that this refers to the
official C++ command from https://github.com/meganz/MEGAcmd and not the
go language built command from t3rm1n4l/megacmd that is no longer
maintained.</p>
<p>Follow the instructions for installing MEGAcmd and try accessing your
remote as they recommend. You can establish whether or not you can log
in using MEGAcmd, and obtain diagnostic information to help you, and
search or work with others in the forum.</p>
<pre><code>MEGA CMD&gt; login me@example.com
Password:
Fetching nodes ...
Loading transfers from local cache
Login complete as me@example.com
me@example.com:/$ </code></pre>
<p>Note that some have found issues with passwords containing special
characters. If you can not log on with rclone, but MEGAcmd logs on just
fine, then consider changing your password temporarily to pure
alphanumeric characters, in case that helps.</p>
<h4 id="repeated-commands-blocks-access">Repeated commands blocks
access</h4>
<p>Mega remotes seem to get blocked (reject logins) under "heavy use".
We haven't worked out the exact blocking rules but it seems to be
related to fast paced, successive rclone commands.</p>
<p>For example, executing this command 90 times in a row
<code>rclone link remote:file</code> will cause the remote to become
"blocked". This is not an abnormal situation, for example if you wish to
get the public links of a directory with hundred of files... After more
or less a week, the remote will remote accept rclone logins normally
again.</p>
<p>You can mitigate this issue by mounting the remote it with
<code>rclone mount</code>. This will log-in when mounting and a log-out
when unmounting only. You can also run <code>rclone rcd</code> and then
use <code>rclone rc</code> to run the commands over the API to avoid
logging in each time.</p>
<p>Rclone does not currently close mega sessions (you can see them in
the web interface), however closing the sessions does not solve the
issue.</p>
<p>If you space rclone commands by 3 seconds it will avoid blocking the
remote. We haven't identified the exact blocking rules, so perhaps one
could execute the command 80 times without waiting and avoid blocking by
waiting 3 seconds, then continuing...</p>
<p>Note that this has been observed by trial and error and might not be
set in stone.</p>
<p>Other tools seem not to produce this blocking effect, as they use a
different working approach (state-based, using sessionIDs instead of
log-in) which isn't compatible with the current stateless rclone
approach.</p>
<p>Note that once blocked, the use of other tools (such as megacmd) is
not a sure workaround: following megacmd login times have been observed
in succession for blocked remote: 7 minutes, 20 min, 30min, 30 min,
30min. Web access looks unaffected though.</p>
<p>Investigation is continuing in relation to workarounds based on
timeouts, pacers, retrials and tpslimits - if you discover something
relevant, please post on the forum.</p>
<p>So, if rclone was working nicely and suddenly you are unable to
log-in and you are sure the user and the password are correct, likely
you have got the remote blocked for a while.</p>

<p>MEGA uses plain text HTTP connections by default. Some ISPs throttle
HTTP connections, this causes transfers to become very slow. Enabling
this will force MEGA to use HTTPS for all transfers. HTTPS is normally
not necessary since all data is already encrypted anyway. Enabling it
will increase CPU usage and add network overhead.</p>

<p>On accounts with large files or something else, memory usage can
significantly increase when executing list/sync instructions. When
running on cloud providers (like AWS with EC2), check if the instance
type has sufficient memory/CPU to execute the commands. Use the resource
monitoring tools to inspect after sending the commands. Look <a

<h2 id="limitations-23">Limitations</h2>
<p>This backend uses the <a
href="https://github.com/t3rm1n4l/go-mega">go-mega go library</a> which
is an opensource go library implementing the Mega API. There doesn't
appear to be any documentation for the mega protocol beyond the <a
href="https://github.com/meganz/sdk">mega C++ SDK</a> source code so
there are likely quite a few errors still remaining in this library.</p>
<p>Mega allows duplicate files which may confuse rclone.</p>
<h1 id="memory">Memory</h1>
<p>The memory backend is an in RAM backend. It does not persist its data
- use the local backend for that.</p>
<p>The memory backend behaves like a bucket-based remote (e.g. like s3).
Because it has no parameters you can just use it with the
<code>:memory:</code> remote name.</p>
<h2 id="configuration-30">Configuration</h2>
<p>You can configure it as a remote like this with
<code>rclone config</code> too if you want to:</p>
<pre><code>No remotes found, make a new one?

<h2 id="features-2">Features</h2>
<h3 id="symlink-support">Symlink Support</h3>
<p>The Netstorage backend changes the rclone <code>--links, -l</code>
behavior. When uploading, instead of creating the .rclonelink file, use
the "symlink" API in order to create the corresponding symlink on the
remote. The .rclonelink file will not be created, the upload will be
intercepted and only the symlink file that matches the source file name
with no suffix will be created on the remote.</p>
<p>This will effectively allow commands like copy/copyto, move/moveto
and sync to upload from local to remote and download from remote to
local directories with symlinks. Due to internal rclone limitations, it
is not possible to upload an individual symlink file to any remote
backend. You can always use the "backend symlink" command to create a
symlink on the NetStorage server, refer to "symlink" section below.</p>
<p>Individual symlink files on the remote can be used with the commands
like "cat" to print the destination name, or "delete" to delete symlink,
or copy, copy/to and move/moveto to download from the remote to local.
Note: individual symlink files on the remote should be specified
including the suffix .rclonelink.</p>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: No file with the suffix .rclonelink should
ever exist on the server since it is not possible to actually
upload/create a file with .rclonelink suffix with rclone, it can only
exist if it is manually created through a non-rclone method on the
remote.</p>
<h3 id="implicit-vs.-explicit-directories">Implicit vs. Explicit
Directories</h3>
<p>With NetStorage, directories can exist in one of two forms:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li><strong>Explicit Directory</strong>. This is an actual, physical
directory that you have created in a storage group.</li>
<li><strong>Implicit Directory</strong>. This refers to a directory
within a path that has not been physically created. For example, during
upload of a file, nonexistent subdirectories can be specified in the
target path. NetStorage creates these as "implicit." While the
directories aren't physically created, they exist implicitly and the
noted path is connected with the uploaded file.</li>
</ol>
<p>Rclone will intercept all file uploads and mkdir commands for the
NetStorage remote and will explicitly issue the mkdir command for each
directory in the uploading path. This will help with the
interoperability with the other Akamai services such as SFTP and the
Content Management Shell (CMShell). Rclone will not guarantee
correctness of operations with implicit directories which might have
been created as a result of using an upload API directly.</p>
<h3 id="fast-list-listr-support"><code>--fast-list</code> / ListR
support</h3>
<p>NetStorage remote supports the ListR feature by using the "list"
NetStorage API action to return a lexicographical list of all objects
within the specified CP code, recursing into subdirectories as they're
encountered.</p>
<ul>
<li><p><strong>Rclone will use the ListR method for some commands by
default</strong>. Commands such as <code>lsf -R</code> will use ListR by
default. To disable this, include the <code>--disable listR</code>
option to use the non-recursive method of listing objects.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Rclone will not use the ListR method for some
commands</strong>. Commands such as <code>sync</code> don't use ListR by
default. To force using the ListR method, include the
<code>--fast-list</code> option.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>There are pros and cons of using the ListR method, refer to <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#fast-list">rclone documentation</a>. In
general, the sync command over an existing deep tree on the remote will
run faster with the "--fast-list" flag but with extra memory usage as a
side effect. It might also result in higher CPU utilization but the
whole task can be completed faster.</p>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: There is a known limitation that "lsf -R" will
display number of files in the directory and directory size as -1 when
ListR method is used. The workaround is to pass "--disable listR" flag
if these numbers are important in the output.</p>
<h3 id="purge-1">Purge</h3>
<p>NetStorage remote supports the purge feature by using the
"quick-delete" NetStorage API action. The quick-delete action is
disabled by default for security reasons and can be enabled for the
account through the Akamai portal. Rclone will first try to use
quick-delete action for the purge command and if this functionality is
disabled then will fall back to a standard delete method.</p>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: Read the <a
href="https://learn.akamai.com/en-us/webhelp/netstorage/netstorage-http-api-developer-guide/GUID-15836617-9F50-405A-833C-EA2556756A30.html">NetStorage
Usage API</a> for considerations when using "quick-delete". In general,
using quick-delete method will not delete the tree immediately and
objects targeted for quick-delete may still be accessible.</p>

<h3 id="fast-list-5">--fast-list</h3>
<p>This remote supports <code>--fast-list</code> which allows you to use
fewer transactions in exchange for more memory. See the <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#fast-list">rclone docs</a> for more
details.</p>
<h3 id="modification-times-and-hashes-14">Modification times and
hashes</h3>
<p>The modification time is stored as metadata on the object with the
<code>mtime</code> key. It is stored using RFC3339 Format time with
nanosecond precision. The metadata is supplied during directory listings
so there is no performance overhead to using it.</p>
<p>If you wish to use the Azure standard <code>LastModified</code> time
stored on the object as the modified time, then use the
<code>--use-server-modtime</code> flag. Note that rclone can't set
<code>LastModified</code>, so using the <code>--update</code> flag when
syncing is recommended if using <code>--use-server-modtime</code>.</p>
<p>MD5 hashes are stored with blobs. However blobs that were uploaded in
chunks only have an MD5 if the source remote was capable of MD5 hashes,
e.g. the local disk.</p>
<h3 id="performance-1">Performance</h3>
<p>When uploading large files, increasing the value of
<code>--azureblob-upload-concurrency</code> will increase performance at
the cost of using more memory. The default of 16 is set quite
conservatively to use less memory. It maybe be necessary raise it to 64
or higher to fully utilize a 1 GBit/s link with a single file
transfer.</p>

<h3 id="authentication">Authentication</h3>
<p>There are a number of ways of supplying credentials for Azure Blob
Storage. Rclone tries them in the order of the sections below.</p>
<h4 id="env-auth">Env Auth</h4>
<p>If the <code>env_auth</code> config parameter is <code>true</code>
then rclone will pull credentials from the environment or runtime.</p>
<p>It tries these authentication methods in this order:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>Environment Variables</li>
<li>Managed Service Identity Credentials</li>
<li>Azure CLI credentials (as used by the az tool)</li>
</ol>
<p>These are described in the following sections</p>
<h5 id="env-auth-1.-environment-variables">Env Auth: 1. Environment
Variables</h5>
<p>If <code>env_auth</code> is set and environment variables are present
rclone authenticates a service principal with a secret or certificate,
or a user with a password, depending on which environment variable are
set. It reads configuration from these variables, in the following
order:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>Service principal with client secret
<ul>
<li><code>AZURE_TENANT_ID</code>: ID of the service principal's tenant.
Also called its "directory" ID.</li>
<li><code>AZURE_CLIENT_ID</code>: the service principal's client ID</li>
<li><code>AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET</code>: one of the service principal's
client secrets</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Service principal with certificate
<ul>
<li><code>AZURE_TENANT_ID</code>: ID of the service principal's tenant.
Also called its "directory" ID.</li>
<li><code>AZURE_CLIENT_ID</code>: the service principal's client ID</li>
<li><code>AZURE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE_PATH</code>: path to a PEM or PKCS12
certificate file including the private key.</li>
<li><code>AZURE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD</code>: (optional) password
for the certificate file.</li>
<li><code>AZURE_CLIENT_SEND_CERTIFICATE_CHAIN</code>: (optional)
Specifies whether an authentication request will include an x5c header
to support subject name / issuer based authentication. When set to
"true" or "1", authentication requests include the x5c header.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>User with username and password
<ul>
<li><code>AZURE_TENANT_ID</code>: (optional) tenant to authenticate in.
Defaults to "organizations".</li>
<li><code>AZURE_CLIENT_ID</code>: client ID of the application the user
will authenticate to</li>
<li><code>AZURE_USERNAME</code>: a username (usually an email
address)</li>
<li><code>AZURE_PASSWORD</code>: the user's password</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Workload Identity
<ul>
<li><code>AZURE_TENANT_ID</code>: Tenant to authenticate in.</li>
<li><code>AZURE_CLIENT_ID</code>: Client ID of the application the user
will authenticate to.</li>
<li><code>AZURE_FEDERATED_TOKEN_FILE</code>: Path to projected service
account token file.</li>
<li><code>AZURE_AUTHORITY_HOST</code>: Authority of an Azure Active
Directory endpoint (default: login.microsoftonline.com).</li>
</ul></li>
</ol>
<h5 id="env-auth-2.-managed-service-identity-credentials">Env Auth: 2.
Managed Service Identity Credentials</h5>
<p>When using Managed Service Identity if the VM(SS) on which this
program is running has a system-assigned identity, it will be used by
default. If the resource has no system-assigned but exactly one
user-assigned identity, the user-assigned identity will be used by
default.</p>
<p>If the resource has multiple user-assigned identities you will need
to unset <code>env_auth</code> and set <code>use_msi</code> instead. See
the <a href="#use_msi"><code>use_msi</code> section</a>.</p>
<h5 id="env-auth-3.-azure-cli-credentials-as-used-by-the-az-tool">Env
Auth: 3. Azure CLI credentials (as used by the az tool)</h5>
<p>Credentials created with the <code>az</code> tool can be picked up
using <code>env_auth</code>.</p>
<p>For example if you were to login with a service principal like
this:</p>
<pre><code>az login --service-principal -u XXX -p XXX --tenant XXX</code></pre>
<p>Then you could access rclone resources like this:</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsf :azureblob,env_auth,account=ACCOUNT:CONTAINER</code></pre>
<p>Or</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsf --azureblob-env-auth --azureblob-account=ACCOUNT :azureblob:CONTAINER</code></pre>
<p>Which is analogous to using the <code>az</code> tool:</p>
<pre><code>az storage blob list --container-name CONTAINER --account-name ACCOUNT --auth-mode login</code></pre>
<h4 id="account-and-shared-key">Account and Shared Key</h4>
<p>This is the most straight forward and least flexible way. Just fill
in the <code>account</code> and <code>key</code> lines and leave the
rest blank.</p>
<h4 id="sas-url">SAS URL</h4>
<p>This can be an account level SAS URL or container level SAS URL.</p>
<p>To use it leave <code>account</code> and <code>key</code> blank and
fill in <code>sas_url</code>.</p>
<p>An account level SAS URL or container level SAS URL can be obtained
from the Azure portal or the Azure Storage Explorer. To get a container
level SAS URL right click on a container in the Azure Blob explorer in
the Azure portal.</p>
<p>If you use a container level SAS URL, rclone operations are permitted
only on a particular container, e.g.</p>
<pre><code>rclone ls azureblob:container</code></pre>
<p>You can also list the single container from the root. This will only
show the container specified by the SAS URL.</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone lsd azureblob:
container/</code></pre>
<p>Note that you can't see or access any other containers - this will
fail</p>
<pre><code>rclone ls azureblob:othercontainer</code></pre>
<p>Container level SAS URLs are useful for temporarily allowing third
parties access to a single container or putting credentials into an
untrusted environment such as a CI build server.</p>
<h4 id="service-principal-with-client-secret">Service principal with
client secret</h4>
<p>If these variables are set, rclone will authenticate with a service
principal with a client secret.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>tenant</code>: ID of the service principal's tenant. Also
called its "directory" ID.</li>
<li><code>client_id</code>: the service principal's client ID</li>
<li><code>client_secret</code>: one of the service principal's client
secrets</li>
</ul>
<p>The credentials can also be placed in a file using the
<code>service_principal_file</code> configuration option.</p>
<h4 id="service-principal-with-certificate">Service principal with
certificate</h4>
<p>If these variables are set, rclone will authenticate with a service
principal with certificate.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>tenant</code>: ID of the service principal's tenant. Also
called its "directory" ID.</li>
<li><code>client_id</code>: the service principal's client ID</li>
<li><code>client_certificate_path</code>: path to a PEM or PKCS12
certificate file including the private key.</li>
<li><code>client_certificate_password</code>: (optional) password for
the certificate file.</li>
<li><code>client_send_certificate_chain</code>: (optional) Specifies
whether an authentication request will include an x5c header to support
subject name / issuer based authentication. When set to "true" or "1",
authentication requests include the x5c header.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>NB</strong> <code>client_certificate_password</code> must be
obscured - see <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_obscure/">rclone
obscure</a>.</p>
<h4 id="user-with-username-and-password">User with username and
password</h4>
<p>If these variables are set, rclone will authenticate with username
and password.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>tenant</code>: (optional) tenant to authenticate in. Defaults
to "organizations".</li>
<li><code>client_id</code>: client ID of the application the user will
authenticate to</li>
<li><code>username</code>: a username (usually an email address)</li>
<li><code>password</code>: the user's password</li>
</ul>
<p>Microsoft doesn't recommend this kind of authentication, because it's
less secure than other authentication flows. This method is not
interactive, so it isn't compatible with any form of multi-factor
authentication, and the application must already have user or admin
consent. This credential can only authenticate work and school accounts;
it can't authenticate Microsoft accounts.</p>
<p><strong>NB</strong> <code>password</code> must be obscured - see <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_obscure/">rclone
obscure</a>.</p>
<h4 id="use_msi">Managed Service Identity Credentials</h4>
<p>If <code>use_msi</code> is set then managed service identity
credentials are used. This authentication only works when running in an
Azure service. <code>env_auth</code> needs to be unset to use this.</p>
<p>However if you have multiple user identities to choose from these
must be explicitly specified using exactly one of the
<code>msi_object_id</code>, <code>msi_client_id</code>, or
<code>msi_mi_res_id</code> parameters.</p>
<p>If none of <code>msi_object_id</code>, <code>msi_client_id</code>, or
<code>msi_mi_res_id</code> is set, this is is equivalent to using
<code>env_auth</code>.</p>
<h4 id="anonymous">Anonymous</h4>
<p>If you want to access resources with public anonymous access then set
<code>account</code> only. You can do this without making an rclone
config:</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsf :azureblob,account=ACCOUNT:CONTAINER</code></pre>

in memory.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: chunk_size</li>

<li>Type: SizeSuffix</li>
<li>Default: 4Mi</li>
</ul>
<h4
id="azureblob-upload-concurrency">--azureblob-upload-concurrency</h4>
<p>Concurrency for multipart uploads.</p>
<p>This is the number of chunks of the same file that are uploaded
concurrently.</p>
<p>If you are uploading small numbers of large files over high-speed
links and these uploads do not fully utilize your bandwidth, then
increasing this may help to speed up the transfers.</p>
<p>In tests, upload speed increases almost linearly with upload
concurrency. For example to fill a gigabit pipe it may be necessary to
raise this to 64. Note that this will use more memory.</p>
<p>Note that chunks are stored in memory and there may be up to
"--transfers" * "--azureblob-upload-concurrency" chunks stored at once
in memory.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: upload_concurrency</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_AZUREBLOB_UPLOAD_CONCURRENCY</li>
<li>Type: int</li>
<li>Default: 16</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="azureblob-list-chunk">--azureblob-list-chunk</h4>
<p>Size of blob list.</p>
<p>This sets the number of blobs requested in each listing chunk.
Default is the maximum, 5000. "List blobs" requests are permitted 2
minutes per megabyte to complete. If an operation is taking longer than
2 minutes per megabyte on average, it will time out ( <a
href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/setting-timeouts-for-blob-service-operations#exceptions-to-default-timeout-interval">source</a>
). This can be used to limit the number of blobs items to return, to
avoid the time out.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>

</ul>
<h4 id="azureblob-access-tier">--azureblob-access-tier</h4>
<p>Access tier of blob: hot, cool, cold or archive.</p>
<p>Archived blobs can be restored by setting access tier to hot, cool or
cold. Leave blank if you intend to use default access tier, which is set
at account level</p>
<p>If there is no "access tier" specified, rclone doesn't apply any
tier. rclone performs "Set Tier" operation on blobs while uploading, if
objects are not modified, specifying "access tier" to new one will have
no effect. If blobs are in "archive tier" at remote, trying to perform
data transfer operations from remote will not be allowed. User should
first restore by tiering blob to "Hot", "Cool" or "Cold".</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: access_tier</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_AZUREBLOB_ACCESS_TIER</li>
<li>Type: string</li>
<li>Required: false</li>
</ul>
<h4
id="azureblob-archive-tier-delete">--azureblob-archive-tier-delete</h4>
<p>Delete archive tier blobs before overwriting.</p>
<p>Archive tier blobs cannot be updated. So without this flag, if you
attempt to update an archive tier blob, then rclone will produce the
error:</p>
<pre><code>can&#39;t update archive tier blob without --azureblob-archive-tier-delete</code></pre>
<p>With this flag set then before rclone attempts to overwrite an
archive tier blob, it will delete the existing blob before uploading its
replacement. This has the potential for data loss if the upload fails
(unlike updating a normal blob) and also may cost more since deleting
archive tier blobs early may be chargable.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: archive_tier_delete</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_AZUREBLOB_ARCHIVE_TIER_DELETE</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="azureblob-disable-checksum">--azureblob-disable-checksum</h4>
<p>Don't store MD5 checksum with object metadata.</p>
<p>Normally rclone will calculate the MD5 checksum of the input before
uploading it so it can add it to metadata on the object. This is great
for data integrity checking but can cause long delays for large files to
start uploading.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: disable_checksum</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_AZUREBLOB_DISABLE_CHECKSUM</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>

<h4
id="azureblob-memory-pool-flush-time">--azureblob-memory-pool-flush-time</h4>
<p>How often internal memory buffer pools will be flushed. (no longer
used)</p>
<p>Properties:</p>

<p><code>rclone about</code> is not supported by the Microsoft Azure
Blob storage backend. Backends without this capability cannot determine
free space for an rclone mount or use policy <code>mfs</code> (most free
space) as a member of an rclone union remote.</p>
<p>See <a href="https://rclone.org/overview/#optional-features">List of

<h2 id="azure-storage-emulator-support">Azure Storage Emulator
Support</h2>
<p>You can run rclone with the storage emulator (usually
<em>azurite</em>).</p>
<p>To do this, just set up a new remote with <code>rclone config</code>
following the instructions in the introduction and set
<code>use_emulator</code> in the advanced settings as <code>true</code>.
You do not need to provide a default account name nor an account key.
But you can override them in the <code>account</code> and
<code>key</code> options. (Prior to v1.61 they were hard coded to
<em>azurite</em>'s <code>devstoreaccount1</code>.)</p>
<p>Also, if you want to access a storage emulator instance running on a
different machine, you can override the <code>endpoint</code> parameter
in the advanced settings, setting it to
<code>http(s)://&lt;host&gt;:&lt;port&gt;/devstoreaccount1</code> (e.g.
<code>http://10.254.2.5:10000/devstoreaccount1</code>).</p>

<h3 id="hashes-1">Hashes</h3>
<p>MD5 hashes are stored with files. Not all files will have MD5 hashes

<h3 id="authentication">Authentication</h3>
<p>There are a number of ways of supplying credentials for Azure Files
Storage. Rclone tries them in the order of the sections below.</p>
<h4 id="env-auth-1">Env Auth</h4>
<p>If the <code>env_auth</code> config parameter is <code>true</code>
then rclone will pull credentials from the environment or runtime.</p>
<p>It tries these authentication methods in this order:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>Environment Variables</li>
<li>Managed Service Identity Credentials</li>
<li>Azure CLI credentials (as used by the az tool)</li>
</ol>
<p>These are described in the following sections</p>
<h5 id="env-auth-1.-environment-variables-1">Env Auth: 1. Environment
Variables</h5>
<p>If <code>env_auth</code> is set and environment variables are present
rclone authenticates a service principal with a secret or certificate,
or a user with a password, depending on which environment variable are
set. It reads configuration from these variables, in the following
order:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>Service principal with client secret
<ul>
<li><code>AZURE_TENANT_ID</code>: ID of the service principal's tenant.
Also called its "directory" ID.</li>
<li><code>AZURE_CLIENT_ID</code>: the service principal's client ID</li>
<li><code>AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET</code>: one of the service principal's
client secrets</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Service principal with certificate
<ul>
<li><code>AZURE_TENANT_ID</code>: ID of the service principal's tenant.
Also called its "directory" ID.</li>
<li><code>AZURE_CLIENT_ID</code>: the service principal's client ID</li>
<li><code>AZURE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE_PATH</code>: path to a PEM or PKCS12
certificate file including the private key.</li>
<li><code>AZURE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD</code>: (optional) password
for the certificate file.</li>
<li><code>AZURE_CLIENT_SEND_CERTIFICATE_CHAIN</code>: (optional)
Specifies whether an authentication request will include an x5c header
to support subject name / issuer based authentication. When set to
"true" or "1", authentication requests include the x5c header.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>User with username and password
<ul>
<li><code>AZURE_TENANT_ID</code>: (optional) tenant to authenticate in.
Defaults to "organizations".</li>
<li><code>AZURE_CLIENT_ID</code>: client ID of the application the user
will authenticate to</li>
<li><code>AZURE_USERNAME</code>: a username (usually an email
address)</li>
<li><code>AZURE_PASSWORD</code>: the user's password</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Workload Identity
<ul>
<li><code>AZURE_TENANT_ID</code>: Tenant to authenticate in.</li>
<li><code>AZURE_CLIENT_ID</code>: Client ID of the application the user
will authenticate to.</li>
<li><code>AZURE_FEDERATED_TOKEN_FILE</code>: Path to projected service
account token file.</li>
<li><code>AZURE_AUTHORITY_HOST</code>: Authority of an Azure Active
Directory endpoint (default: login.microsoftonline.com).</li>
</ul></li>
</ol>
<h5 id="env-auth-2.-managed-service-identity-credentials-1">Env Auth: 2.
Managed Service Identity Credentials</h5>
<p>When using Managed Service Identity if the VM(SS) on which this
program is running has a system-assigned identity, it will be used by
default. If the resource has no system-assigned but exactly one
user-assigned identity, the user-assigned identity will be used by
default.</p>
<p>If the resource has multiple user-assigned identities you will need
to unset <code>env_auth</code> and set <code>use_msi</code> instead. See
the <a href="#use_msi"><code>use_msi</code> section</a>.</p>
<h5 id="env-auth-3.-azure-cli-credentials-as-used-by-the-az-tool-1">Env
Auth: 3. Azure CLI credentials (as used by the az tool)</h5>
<p>Credentials created with the <code>az</code> tool can be picked up
using <code>env_auth</code>.</p>
<p>For example if you were to login with a service principal like
this:</p>
<pre><code>az login --service-principal -u XXX -p XXX --tenant XXX</code></pre>
<p>Then you could access rclone resources like this:</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsf :azurefiles,env_auth,account=ACCOUNT:</code></pre>
<p>Or</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsf --azurefiles-env-auth --azurefiles-account=ACCOUNT :azurefiles:</code></pre>
<h4 id="account-and-shared-key-1">Account and Shared Key</h4>
<p>This is the most straight forward and least flexible way. Just fill
in the <code>account</code> and <code>key</code> lines and leave the
rest blank.</p>
<h4 id="sas-url-1">SAS URL</h4>
<p>To use it leave <code>account</code>, <code>key</code> and
<code>connection_string</code> blank and fill in
<code>sas_url</code>.</p>
<h4 id="connection-string">Connection String</h4>
<p>To use it leave <code>account</code>, <code>key</code> and "sas_url"
blank and fill in <code>connection_string</code>.</p>
<h4 id="service-principal-with-client-secret-1">Service principal with
client secret</h4>
<p>If these variables are set, rclone will authenticate with a service
principal with a client secret.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>tenant</code>: ID of the service principal's tenant. Also
called its "directory" ID.</li>
<li><code>client_id</code>: the service principal's client ID</li>
<li><code>client_secret</code>: one of the service principal's client
secrets</li>
</ul>
<p>The credentials can also be placed in a file using the
<code>service_principal_file</code> configuration option.</p>
<h4 id="service-principal-with-certificate-1">Service principal with
certificate</h4>
<p>If these variables are set, rclone will authenticate with a service
principal with certificate.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>tenant</code>: ID of the service principal's tenant. Also
called its "directory" ID.</li>
<li><code>client_id</code>: the service principal's client ID</li>
<li><code>client_certificate_path</code>: path to a PEM or PKCS12
certificate file including the private key.</li>
<li><code>client_certificate_password</code>: (optional) password for
the certificate file.</li>
<li><code>client_send_certificate_chain</code>: (optional) Specifies
whether an authentication request will include an x5c header to support
subject name / issuer based authentication. When set to "true" or "1",
authentication requests include the x5c header.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>NB</strong> <code>client_certificate_password</code> must be
obscured - see <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_obscure/">rclone
obscure</a>.</p>
<h4 id="user-with-username-and-password-1">User with username and
password</h4>
<p>If these variables are set, rclone will authenticate with username
and password.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>tenant</code>: (optional) tenant to authenticate in. Defaults
to "organizations".</li>
<li><code>client_id</code>: client ID of the application the user will
authenticate to</li>
<li><code>username</code>: a username (usually an email address)</li>
<li><code>password</code>: the user's password</li>
</ul>
<p>Microsoft doesn't recommend this kind of authentication, because it's
less secure than other authentication flows. This method is not
interactive, so it isn't compatible with any form of multi-factor
authentication, and the application must already have user or admin
consent. This credential can only authenticate work and school accounts;
it can't authenticate Microsoft accounts.</p>
<p><strong>NB</strong> <code>password</code> must be obscured - see <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_obscure/">rclone
obscure</a>.</p>
<h4 id="use_msi">Managed Service Identity Credentials</h4>
<p>If <code>use_msi</code> is set then managed service identity
credentials are used. This authentication only works when running in an
Azure service. <code>env_auth</code> needs to be unset to use this.</p>
<p>However if you have multiple user identities to choose from these
must be explicitly specified using exactly one of the
<code>msi_object_id</code>, <code>msi_client_id</code>, or
<code>msi_mi_res_id</code> parameters.</p>
<p>If none of <code>msi_object_id</code>, <code>msi_client_id</code>, or
<code>msi_mi_res_id</code> is set, this is is equivalent to using
<code>env_auth</code>.</p>

<p>See the <a href="https://rclone.org/remote_setup/">remote setup
docs</a> for how to set it up on a machine with no Internet browser
available.</p>
<p>Note that rclone runs a webserver on your local machine to collect
the token as returned from Microsoft. This only runs from the moment it
opens your browser to the moment you get back the verification code.
This is on <code>http://127.0.0.1:53682/</code> and this it may require
you to unblock it temporarily if you are running a host firewall.</p>
<p>Once configured you can then use <code>rclone</code> like this,</p>
<p>List directories in top level of your OneDrive</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsd remote:</code></pre>
<p>List all the files in your OneDrive</p>
<pre><code>rclone ls remote:</code></pre>
<p>To copy a local directory to an OneDrive directory called backup</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy /home/source remote:backup</code></pre>
<h3 id="getting-your-own-client-id-and-key">Getting your own Client ID
and Key</h3>
<p>rclone uses a default Client ID when talking to OneDrive, unless a
custom <code>client_id</code> is specified in the config. The default
Client ID and Key are shared by all rclone users when performing
requests.</p>
<p>You may choose to create and use your own Client ID, in case the
default one does not work well for you. For example, you might see
throttling.</p>
<h4 id="creating-client-id-for-onedrive-personal">Creating Client ID for
OneDrive Personal</h4>
<p>To create your own Client ID, please follow these steps:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>Open
https://portal.azure.com/#blade/Microsoft_AAD_RegisteredApps/ApplicationsListBlade
and then click <code>New registration</code>.</li>
<li>Enter a name for your app, choose account type
<code>Accounts in any organizational directory (Any Azure AD directory - Multitenant) and personal Microsoft accounts (e.g. Skype, Xbox)</code>,
select <code>Web</code> in <code>Redirect URI</code>, then type (do not
copy and paste) <code>http://localhost:53682/</code> and click Register.
Copy and keep the <code>Application (client) ID</code> under the app
name for later use.</li>
<li>Under <code>manage</code> select
<code>Certificates &amp; secrets</code>, click
<code>New client secret</code>. Enter a description (can be anything)
and set <code>Expires</code> to 24 months. Copy and keep that secret
<em>Value</em> for later use (you <em>won't</em> be able to see this
value afterwards).</li>
<li>Under <code>manage</code> select <code>API permissions</code>, click
<code>Add a permission</code> and select <code>Microsoft Graph</code>
then select <code>delegated permissions</code>.</li>
<li>Search and select the following permissions:
<code>Files.Read</code>, <code>Files.ReadWrite</code>,
<code>Files.Read.All</code>, <code>Files.ReadWrite.All</code>,
<code>offline_access</code>, <code>User.Read</code> and
<code>Sites.Read.All</code> (if custom access scopes are configured,
select the permissions accordingly). Once selected click
<code>Add permissions</code> at the bottom.</li>
</ol>
<p>Now the application is complete. Run <code>rclone config</code> to
create or edit a OneDrive remote. Supply the app ID and password as
Client ID and Secret, respectively. rclone will walk you through the
remaining steps.</p>
<p>The access_scopes option allows you to configure the permissions
requested by rclone. See <a
href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/permissions-reference#files-permissions">Microsoft
Docs</a> for more information about the different scopes.</p>
<p>The <code>Sites.Read.All</code> permission is required if you need to
<a href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/pull/5883">search SharePoint
sites when configuring the remote</a>. However, if that permission is
not assigned, you need to exclude <code>Sites.Read.All</code> from your
access scopes or set <code>disable_site_permission</code> option to true
in the advanced options.</p>
<h4 id="creating-client-id-for-onedrive-business">Creating Client ID for
OneDrive Business</h4>
<p>The steps for OneDrive Personal may or may not work for OneDrive
Business, depending on the security settings of the organization. A
common error is that the publisher of the App is not verified.</p>
<p>You may try to <a
href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/publisher-verification-overview">verify
you account</a>, or try to limit the App to your organization only, as
shown below.</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>Make sure to create the App with your business account.</li>
<li>Follow the steps above to create an App. However, we need a
different account type here:
<code>Accounts in this organizational directory only (*** - Single tenant)</code>.
Note that you can also change the account type after creating the
App.</li>
<li>Find the <a
href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/fundamentals/active-directory-how-to-find-tenant">tenant
ID</a> of your organization.</li>
<li>In the rclone config, set <code>auth_url</code> to
<code>https://login.microsoftonline.com/YOUR_TENANT_ID/oauth2/v2.0/authorize</code>.</li>
<li>In the rclone config, set <code>token_url</code> to
<code>https://login.microsoftonline.com/YOUR_TENANT_ID/oauth2/v2.0/token</code>.</li>
</ol>
<p>Note: If you have a special region, you may need a different host in
step 4 and 5. Here are <a
href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/blob/bc23bf11db1c78c6ebbf8ea538fbebf7058b4176/backend/onedrive/onedrive.go#L86">some
hints</a>.</p>
<h3 id="modification-times-and-hashes-15">Modification times and
hashes</h3>
<p>OneDrive allows modification times to be set on objects accurate to 1
second. These will be used to detect whether objects need syncing or
not.</p>
<p>OneDrive Personal, OneDrive for Business and Sharepoint Server
support <a
href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/developer/code-snippets/quickxorhash">QuickXorHash</a>.</p>
<p>Before rclone 1.62 the default hash for Onedrive Personal was
<code>SHA1</code>. For rclone 1.62 and above the default for all
Onedrive backends is <code>QuickXorHash</code>.</p>
<p>Starting from July 2023 <code>SHA1</code> support is being phased out
in Onedrive Personal in favour of <code>QuickXorHash</code>. If
necessary the <code>--onedrive-hash-type</code> flag (or
<code>hash_type</code> config option) can be used to select
<code>SHA1</code> during the transition period if this is important your
workflow.</p>
<p>For all types of OneDrive you can use the <code>--checksum</code>
flag.</p>
<h3 id="fast-list-6">--fast-list</h3>
<p>This remote supports <code>--fast-list</code> which allows you to use
fewer transactions in exchange for more memory. See the <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#fast-list">rclone docs</a> for more
details.</p>
<p>This must be enabled with the <code>--onedrive-delta</code> flag (or
<code>delta = true</code> in the config file) as it can cause
performance degradation.</p>
<p>It does this by using the delta listing facilities of OneDrive which
returns all the files in the remote very efficiently. This is much more
efficient than listing directories recursively and is Microsoft's
recommended way of reading all the file information from a drive.</p>
<p>This can be useful with <code>rclone mount</code> and <a
href="https://rclone.org/rc/#vfs-refresh">rclone rc vfs/refresh
recursive=true</a>) to very quickly fill the mount with information
about all the files.</p>
<p>The API used for the recursive listing (<code>ListR</code>) only
supports listing from the root of the drive. This will become
increasingly inefficient the further away you get from the root as
rclone will have to discard files outside of the directory you are
using.</p>
<p>Some commands (like <code>rclone lsf -R</code>) will use
<code>ListR</code> by default - you can turn this off with
<code>--disable ListR</code> if you need to.</p>
<h3 id="restricted-filename-characters-19">Restricted filename

<h4 id="onedrive-root-folder-id">--onedrive-root-folder-id</h4>
<p>ID of the root folder.</p>
<p>This isn't normally needed, but in special circumstances you might
know the folder ID that you wish to access but not be able to get there
through a path traversal.</p>

<h4 id="onedrive-access-scopes">--onedrive-access-scopes</h4>
<p>Set scopes to be requested by rclone.</p>
<p>Choose or manually enter a custom space separated list with all
scopes, that rclone should request.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: access_scopes</li>

<li>Same as if disable_site_permission was set to true</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<h4
id="onedrive-disable-site-permission">--onedrive-disable-site-permission</h4>
<p>Disable the request for Sites.Read.All permission.</p>
<p>If set to true, you will no longer be able to search for a SharePoint
site when configuring drive ID, because rclone will not request
Sites.Read.All permission. Set it to true if your organization didn't
assign Sites.Read.All permission to the application, and your
organization disallows users to consent app permission request on their
own.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: disable_site_permission</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_ONEDRIVE_DISABLE_SITE_PERMISSION</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4
id="onedrive-expose-onenote-files">--onedrive-expose-onenote-files</h4>
<p>Set to make OneNote files show up in directory listings.</p>
<p>By default, rclone will hide OneNote files in directory listings
because operations like "Open" and "Update" won't work on them. But this
behaviour may also prevent you from deleting them. If you want to delete
OneNote files or otherwise want them to show up in directory listing,
set this option.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: expose_onenote_files</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_ONEDRIVE_EXPOSE_ONENOTE_FILES</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4
id="onedrive-server-side-across-configs">--onedrive-server-side-across-configs</h4>
<p>Deprecated: use --server-side-across-configs instead.</p>
<p>Allow server-side operations (e.g. copy) to work across different
onedrive configs.</p>
<p>This will work if you are copying between two OneDrive
<em>Personal</em> drives AND the files to copy are already shared
between them. Additionally, it should also function for a user who has
access permissions both between Onedrive for <em>business</em> and
<em>SharePoint</em> under the <em>same tenant</em>, and between
<em>SharePoint</em> and another <em>SharePoint</em> under the <em>same
tenant</em>. In other cases, rclone will fall back to normal copy (which
will be slightly slower).</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: server_side_across_configs</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_ONEDRIVE_SERVER_SIDE_ACROSS_CONFIGS</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="onedrive-list-chunk">--onedrive-list-chunk</h4>

<li>Type: int</li>
<li>Default: 1000</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="onedrive-no-versions">--onedrive-no-versions</h4>
<p>Remove all versions on modifying operations.</p>
<p>Onedrive for business creates versions when rclone uploads new files
overwriting an existing one and when it sets the modification time.</p>
<p>These versions take up space out of the quota.</p>
<p>This flag checks for versions after file upload and setting
modification time and removes all but the last version.</p>
<p><strong>NB</strong> Onedrive personal can't currently delete versions
so don't use this flag there.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: no_versions</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_ONEDRIVE_NO_VERSIONS</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="onedrive-hard-delete">--onedrive-hard-delete</h4>
<p>Permanently delete files on removal.</p>
<p>Normally files will get sent to the recycle bin on deletion. Setting
this flag causes them to be permanently deleted. Use with care.</p>
<p>OneDrive personal accounts do not support the permanentDelete API, it
only applies to OneDrive for Business and SharePoint document
libraries.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: hard_delete</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_ONEDRIVE_HARD_DELETE</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>

</ul>
<h4 id="onedrive-link-type">--onedrive-link-type</h4>
<p>Set the type of the links created by the link command.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>

<h4 id="onedrive-link-password">--onedrive-link-password</h4>
<p>Set the password for links created by the link command.</p>
<p>At the time of writing this only works with OneDrive personal paid
accounts.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: link_password</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_ONEDRIVE_LINK_PASSWORD</li>
<li>Type: string</li>
<li>Required: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="onedrive-hash-type">--onedrive-hash-type</h4>
<p>Specify the hash in use for the backend.</p>
<p>This specifies the hash type in use. If set to "auto" it will use the
default hash which is QuickXorHash.</p>
<p>Before rclone 1.62 an SHA1 hash was used by default for Onedrive
Personal. For 1.62 and later the default is to use a QuickXorHash for
all onedrive types. If an SHA1 hash is desired then set this option
accordingly.</p>
<p>From July 2023 QuickXorHash will be the only available hash for both
OneDrive for Business and OneDrive Personal.</p>
<p>This can be set to "none" to not use any hashes.</p>
<p>If the hash requested does not exist on the object, it will be
returned as an empty string which is treated as a missing hash by
rclone.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: hash_type</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_ONEDRIVE_HASH_TYPE</li>
<li>Type: string</li>
<li>Default: "auto"</li>

</ul></li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<h4 id="onedrive-av-override">--onedrive-av-override</h4>
<p>Allows download of files the server thinks has a virus.</p>
<p>The onedrive/sharepoint server may check files uploaded with an Anti
Virus checker. If it detects any potential viruses or malware it will
block download of the file.</p>
<p>In this case you will see a message like this</p>
<pre><code>server reports this file is infected with a virus - use --onedrive-av-override to download anyway: Infected (name of virus): 403 Forbidden: </code></pre>
<p>If you are 100% sure you want to download this file anyway then use
the --onedrive-av-override flag, or av_override = true in the config
file.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: av_override</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_ONEDRIVE_AV_OVERRIDE</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="onedrive-delta">--onedrive-delta</h4>
<p>If set rclone will use delta listing to implement recursive
listings.</p>
<p>If this flag is set the onedrive backend will advertise
<code>ListR</code> support for recursive listings.</p>
<p>Setting this flag speeds up these things greatly:</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsf -R onedrive:
rclone size onedrive:
rclone rc vfs/refresh recursive=true</code></pre>
<p><strong>However</strong> the delta listing API <strong>only</strong>
works at the root of the drive. If you use it not at the root then it
recurses from the root and discards all the data that is not under the
directory you asked for. So it will be correct but may not be very
efficient.</p>
<p>This is why this flag is not set as the default.</p>
<p>As a rule of thumb if nearly all of your data is under rclone's root
directory (the <code>root/directory</code> in
<code>onedrive:root/directory</code>) then using this flag will be be a
big performance win. If your data is mostly not under the root then
using this flag will be a big performance loss.</p>
<p>It is recommended if you are mounting your onedrive at the root (or
near the root when using crypt) and using rclone
<code>rc vfs/refresh</code>.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: delta</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_ONEDRIVE_DELTA</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4
id="onedrive-metadata-permissions">--onedrive-metadata-permissions</h4>
<p>Control whether permissions should be read or written in
metadata.</p>
<p>Reading permissions metadata from files can be done quickly, but it
isn't always desirable to set the permissions from the metadata.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: metadata_permissions</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_ONEDRIVE_METADATA_PERMISSIONS</li>

<h3 id="metadata-13">Metadata</h3>
<p>OneDrive supports System Metadata (not User Metadata, as of this
writing) for both files and directories. Much of the metadata is
read-only, and there are some differences between OneDrive Personal and
Business (see table below for details).</p>
<p>Permissions are also supported, if
<code>--onedrive-metadata-permissions</code> is set. The accepted values
for <code>--onedrive-metadata-permissions</code> are
"<code>read</code>", "<code>write</code>", "<code>read,write</code>",
and "<code>off</code>" (the default). "<code>write</code>" supports
adding new permissions, updating the "role" of existing permissions, and
removing permissions. Updating and removing require the Permission ID to
be known, so it is recommended to use "<code>read,write</code>" instead
of "<code>write</code>" if you wish to update/remove permissions.</p>
<p>Permissions are read/written in JSON format using the same schema as
the <a
href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/developer/rest-api/resources/permission?view=odsp-graph-online">OneDrive
API</a>, which differs slightly between OneDrive Personal and
Business.</p>

<p>To write permissions, pass in a "permissions" metadata key using this
same format. The <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#metadata-mapper"><code>--metadata-mapper</code></a>
tool can be very helpful for this.</p>
<p>When adding permissions, an email address can be provided in the
<code>User.ID</code> or <code>DisplayName</code> properties of
<code>grantedTo</code> or <code>grantedToIdentities</code>.
Alternatively, an ObjectID can be provided in <code>User.ID</code>. At
least one valid recipient must be provided in order to add a permission
for a user. Creating a Public Link is also supported, if
<code>Link.Scope</code> is set to <code>"anonymous"</code>.</p>
<p>Example request to add a "read" permission with
<code>--metadata-mapper</code>:</p>

<p>Note that adding a permission can fail if a conflicting permission
already exists for the file/folder.</p>
<p>To update an existing permission, include both the Permission ID and
the new <code>roles</code> to be assigned. <code>roles</code> is the
only property that can be changed.</p>
<p>To remove permissions, pass in a blob containing only the permissions
you wish to keep (which can be empty, to remove all.) Note that the
<code>owner</code> role will be ignored, as it cannot be removed.</p>
<p>Note that both reading and writing permissions requires extra API
calls, so if you don't need to read or write permissions it is
recommended to omit <code>--onedrive-metadata-permissions</code>.</p>
<p>Metadata and permissions are supported for Folders (directories) as
well as Files. Note that setting the <code>mtime</code> or
<code>btime</code> on a Folder requires one extra API call on OneDrive
Business only.</p>
<p>OneDrive does not currently support User Metadata. When writing
metadata, only writeable system properties will be written -- any
read-only or unrecognized keys passed in will be ignored.</p>
<p>TIP: to see the metadata and permissions for any file or folder,
run:</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsjson remote:path --stat -M --onedrive-metadata-permissions read</code></pre>
<p>Here are the possible system metadata items for the onedrive
backend.</p>

<h2 id="limitations-26">Limitations</h2>
<p>If you don't use rclone for 90 days the refresh token will expire.
This will result in authorization problems. This is easy to fix by
running the <code>rclone config reconnect remote:</code> command to get
a new token and refresh token.</p>
<h3 id="naming">Naming</h3>
<p>Note that OneDrive is case insensitive so you can't have a file
called "Hello.doc" and one called "hello.doc".</p>
<p>There are quite a few characters that can't be in OneDrive file
names. These can't occur on Windows platforms, but on non-Windows
platforms they are common. Rclone will map these names to and from an
identical looking unicode equivalent. For example if a file has a
<code>?</code> in it will be mapped to <code>?</code> instead.</p>
<h3 id="file-sizes">File sizes</h3>
<p>The largest allowed file size is 250 GiB for both OneDrive Personal
and OneDrive for Business <a
href="https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/invalid-file-names-and-file-types-in-onedrive-and-sharepoint-64883a5d-228e-48f5-b3d2-eb39e07630fa?ui=en-us&amp;rs=en-us&amp;ad=us#individualfilesize">(Updated
13 Jan 2021)</a>.</p>
<h3 id="path-length">Path length</h3>
<p>The entire path, including the file name, must contain fewer than 400
characters for OneDrive, OneDrive for Business and SharePoint Online. If
you are encrypting file and folder names with rclone, you may want to
pay attention to this limitation because the encrypted names are
typically longer than the original ones.</p>
<h3 id="number-of-files">Number of files</h3>
<p>OneDrive seems to be OK with at least 50,000 files in a folder, but
at 100,000 rclone will get errors listing the directory like
<code>couldn’t list files: UnknownError:</code>. See <a
href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/2707">#2707</a> for more
info.</p>
<p>An official document about the limitations for different types of
OneDrive can be found <a
href="https://support.office.com/en-us/article/invalid-file-names-and-file-types-in-onedrive-onedrive-for-business-and-sharepoint-64883a5d-228e-48f5-b3d2-eb39e07630fa">here</a>.</p>
<h2 id="versions-4">Versions</h2>
<p>Every change in a file OneDrive causes the service to create a new
version of the file. This counts against a users quota. For example
changing the modification time of a file creates a second version, so
the file apparently uses twice the space.</p>
<p>For example the <code>copy</code> command is affected by this as
rclone copies the file and then afterwards sets the modification time to
match the source file which uses another version.</p>
<p>You can use the <code>rclone cleanup</code> command (see below) to
remove all old versions.</p>
<p>Or you can set the <code>no_versions</code> parameter to
<code>true</code> and rclone will remove versions after operations which
create new versions. This takes extra transactions so only enable it if
you need it.</p>
<p><strong>Note</strong> At the time of writing Onedrive Personal
creates versions (but not for setting the modification time) but the API
for removing them returns "API not found" so cleanup and
<code>no_versions</code> should not be used on Onedrive Personal.</p>
<h3 id="disabling-versioning">Disabling versioning</h3>
<p>Starting October 2018, users will no longer be able to disable
versioning by default. This is because Microsoft has brought an <a
href="https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-OneDrive-Blog/New-Updates-to-OneDrive-and-SharePoint-Team-Site-Versioning/ba-p/204390">update</a>
to the mechanism. To change this new default setting, a PowerShell
command is required to be run by a SharePoint admin. If you are an
admin, you can run these commands in PowerShell to change that
setting:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li><code>Install-Module -Name Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell</code>
(in case you haven't installed this already)</li>
<li><code>Import-Module Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell -DisableNameChecking</code></li>
<li><code>Connect-SPOService -Url https://YOURSITE-admin.sharepoint.com -Credential YOU@YOURSITE.COM</code>
(replacing <code>YOURSITE</code>, <code>YOU</code>,
<code>YOURSITE.COM</code> with the actual values; this will prompt for
your credentials)</li>
<li><code>Set-SPOTenant -EnableMinimumVersionRequirement $False</code></li>
<li><code>Disconnect-SPOService</code> (to disconnect from the
server)</li>
</ol>
<p><em>Below are the steps for normal users to disable versioning. If
you don't see the "No Versioning" option, make sure the above
requirements are met.</em></p>
<p>User <a href="https://github.com/Weropol">Weropol</a> has found a
method to disable versioning on OneDrive</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>Open the settings menu by clicking on the gear symbol at the top of
the OneDrive Business page.</li>
<li>Click Site settings.</li>
<li>Once on the Site settings page, navigate to Site Administration &gt;
Site libraries and lists.</li>
<li>Click Customize "Documents".</li>
<li>Click General Settings &gt; Versioning Settings.</li>
<li>Under Document Version History select the option No versioning.
Note: This will disable the creation of new file versions, but will not
remove any previous versions. Your documents are safe.</li>
<li>Apply the changes by clicking OK.</li>
<li>Use rclone to upload or modify files. (I also use the
--no-update-modtime flag)</li>
<li>Restore the versioning settings after using rclone. (Optional)</li>
</ol>
<h2 id="cleanup-4">Cleanup</h2>
<p>OneDrive supports <code>rclone cleanup</code> which causes rclone to
look through every file under the path supplied and delete all version
but the current version. Because this involves traversing all the files,
then querying each file for versions it can be quite slow. Rclone does
<code>--checkers</code> tests in parallel. The command also supports
<code>--interactive</code>/<code>i</code> or <code>--dry-run</code>
which is a great way to see what it would do.</p>
<pre><code>rclone cleanup --interactive remote:path/subdir # interactively remove all old version for path/subdir
rclone cleanup remote:path/subdir # unconditionally remove all old version for path/subdir</code></pre>
<p><strong>NB</strong> Onedrive personal can't currently delete
versions</p>
<h2 id="troubleshooting-2">Troubleshooting</h2>
<h3 id="excessive-throttling-or-blocked-on-sharepoint">Excessive
throttling or blocked on SharePoint</h3>
<p>If you experience excessive throttling or is being blocked on
SharePoint then it may help to set the user agent explicitly with a flag
like this: <code>--user-agent "ISV|rclone.org|rclone/v1.55.1"</code></p>
<p>The specific details can be found in the Microsoft document: <a
href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/general-development/how-to-avoid-getting-throttled-or-blocked-in-sharepoint-online#how-to-decorate-your-http-traffic-to-avoid-throttling">Avoid
getting throttled or blocked in SharePoint Online</a></p>
<h3 id="unexpected-file-sizehash-differences-on-sharepoint">Unexpected
file size/hash differences on Sharepoint</h3>
<p>It is a <a
href="https://github.com/OneDrive/onedrive-api-docs/issues/935#issuecomment-441741631">known</a>
issue that Sharepoint (not OneDrive or OneDrive for Business) silently
modifies uploaded files, mainly Office files (.docx, .xlsx, etc.),
causing file size and hash checks to fail. There are also other
situations that will cause OneDrive to report inconsistent file sizes.
To use rclone with such affected files on Sharepoint, you may disable
these checks with the following command line arguments:</p>
<pre><code>--ignore-checksum --ignore-size</code></pre>
<p>Alternatively, if you have write access to the OneDrive files, it may
be possible to fix this problem for certain files, by attempting the
steps below. Open the web interface for <a
href="https://onedrive.live.com">OneDrive</a> and find the affected
files (which will be in the error messages/log for rclone). Simply click
on each of these files, causing OneDrive to open them on the web. This
will cause each file to be converted in place to a format that is
functionally equivalent but which will no longer trigger the size
discrepancy. Once all problematic files are converted you will no longer
need the ignore options above.</p>
<h3
id="replacingdeleting-existing-files-on-sharepoint-gets-item-not-found">Replacing/deleting
existing files on Sharepoint gets "item not found"</h3>
<p>It is a <a
href="https://github.com/OneDrive/onedrive-api-docs/issues/1068">known</a>
issue that Sharepoint (not OneDrive or OneDrive for Business) may return
"item not found" errors when users try to replace or delete uploaded
files; this seems to mainly affect Office files (.docx, .xlsx, etc.) and
web files (.html, .aspx, etc.). As a workaround, you may use the
<code>--backup-dir &lt;BACKUP_DIR&gt;</code> command line argument so
rclone moves the files to be replaced/deleted into a given backup
directory (instead of directly replacing/deleting them). For example, to
instruct rclone to move the files into the directory
<code>rclone-backup-dir</code> on backend <code>mysharepoint</code>, you
may use:</p>
<pre><code>--backup-dir mysharepoint:rclone-backup-dir</code></pre>
<h3 id="access_denied-aadsts65005">access_denied (AADSTS65005)</h3>
<pre><code>Error: access_denied
Code: AADSTS65005
Description: Using application &#39;rclone&#39; is currently not supported for your organization [YOUR_ORGANIZATION] because it is in an unmanaged state. An administrator needs to claim ownership of the company by DNS validation of [YOUR_ORGANIZATION] before the application rclone can be provisioned.</code></pre>
<p>This means that rclone can't use the OneDrive for Business API with
your account. You can't do much about it, maybe write an email to your
admins.</p>
<p>However, there are other ways to interact with your OneDrive account.
Have a look at the WebDAV backend:
https://rclone.org/webdav/#sharepoint</p>
<h3 id="invalid_grant-aadsts50076">invalid_grant (AADSTS50076)</h3>
<pre><code>Error: invalid_grant
Code: AADSTS50076
Description: Due to a configuration change made by your administrator, or because you moved to a new location, you must use multi-factor authentication to access &#39;...&#39;.</code></pre>
<p>If you see the error above after enabling multi-factor authentication
for your account, you can fix it by refreshing your OAuth refresh token.
To do that, run <code>rclone config</code>, and choose to edit your
OneDrive backend. Then, you don't need to actually make any changes
until you reach this question:
<code>Already have a token - refresh?</code>. For this question, answer
<code>y</code> and go through the process to refresh your token, just
like the first time the backend is configured. After this, rclone should
work again for this backend.</p>
<h3 id="invalid-request-when-making-public-links">Invalid request when
making public links</h3>
<p>On Sharepoint and OneDrive for Business, <code>rclone link</code> may
return an "Invalid request" error. A possible cause is that the
organisation admin didn't allow public links to be made for the
organisation/sharepoint library. To fix the permissions as an admin,
take a look at the docs: <a
href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/turn-external-sharing-on-or-off">1</a>,
<a
href="https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/set-up-and-manage-access-requests-94b26e0b-2822-49d4-929a-8455698654b3">2</a>.</p>
<h3 id="can-not-access-shared-with-me-files">Can not access
<code>Shared</code> with me files</h3>
<p>Shared with me files is not supported by rclone <a
href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/4062">currently</a>, but
there is a workaround:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>Visit <a
href="https://onedrive.live.com/">https://onedrive.live.com</a></li>
<li>Right click a item in <code>Shared</code>, then click
<code>Add shortcut to My files</code> in the context <img

title="Screenshot (Shared with me)" alt="make_shortcut" /></li>
<li>The shortcut will appear in <code>My files</code>, you can access it
with rclone, it behaves like a normal folder/file. <img

<h3
id="live-photos-uploaded-from-ios-small-video-clips-in-.heic-files">Live
Photos uploaded from iOS (small video clips in .heic files)</h3>
<p>The iOS OneDrive app introduced <a
href="https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-onedrive-blog/live-photos-come-to-onedrive/ba-p/1953452">upload
and storage</a> of <a
href="https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT207310">Live Photos</a> in 2020.
The usage and download of these uploaded Live Photos is unfortunately
still work-in-progress and this introduces several issues when copying,
synchronising and mounting – both in rclone and in the native OneDrive
client on Windows.</p>
<p>The root cause can easily be seen if you locate one of your Live
Photos in the OneDrive web interface. Then download the photo from the
web interface. You will then see that the size of downloaded .heic file
is smaller than the size displayed in the web interface. The downloaded
file is smaller because it only contains a single frame (still photo)
extracted from the Live Photo (movie) stored in OneDrive.</p>
<p>The different sizes will cause <code>rclone copy/sync</code> to
repeatedly recopy unmodified photos something like this:</p>
<pre><code>DEBUG : 20230203_123826234_iOS.heic: Sizes differ (src 4470314 vs dst 1298667)
DEBUG : 20230203_123826234_iOS.heic: sha1 = fc2edde7863b7a7c93ca6771498ac797f8460750 OK
INFO : 20230203_123826234_iOS.heic: Copied (replaced existing)</code></pre>
<p>These recopies can be worked around by adding
<code>--ignore-size</code>. Please note that this workaround only syncs
the still-picture not the movie clip, and relies on modification dates
being correctly updated on all files in all situations.</p>
<p>The different sizes will also cause <code>rclone check</code> to
report size errors something like this:</p>
<pre><code>ERROR : 20230203_123826234_iOS.heic: sizes differ</code></pre>
<p>These check errors can be suppressed by adding
<code>--ignore-size</code>.</p>
<p>The different sizes will also cause <code>rclone mount</code> to fail
downloading with an error something like this:</p>
<pre><code>ERROR : 20230203_123826234_iOS.heic: ReadFileHandle.Read error: low level retry 1/10: unexpected EOF</code></pre>

<h2 id="limitations-27">Limitations</h2>
<p>Note that OpenDrive is case insensitive so you can't have a file
called "Hello.doc" and one called "hello.doc".</p>
<p>There are quite a few characters that can't be in OpenDrive file
names. These can't occur on Windows platforms, but on non-Windows
platforms they are common. Rclone will map these names to and from an
identical looking unicode equivalent. For example if a file has a
<code>?</code> in it will be mapped to <code>?</code> instead.</p>
<p><code>rclone about</code> is not supported by the OpenDrive backend.
Backends without this capability cannot determine free space for an
rclone mount or use policy <code>mfs</code> (most free space) as a
member of an rclone union remote.</p>

<h2 id="authentication-providers">Authentication Providers</h2>
<p>OCI has various authentication methods. To learn more about
authentication methods please refer <a
href="https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/API/Concepts/sdk_authentication_methods.htm">oci
authentication methods</a> These choices can be specified in the rclone
config file.</p>
<p>Rclone supports the following OCI authentication provider.</p>
<pre><code>User Principal
Instance Principal
Resource Principal
Workload Identity
No authentication</code></pre>
<h3 id="user-principal">User Principal</h3>
<p>Sample rclone config file for Authentication Provider User
Principal:</p>
<pre><code>[oos]
type = oracleobjectstorage
namespace = id&lt;redacted&gt;34
compartment = ocid1.compartment.oc1..aa&lt;redacted&gt;ba
region = us-ashburn-1
provider = user_principal_auth
config_file = /home/opc/.oci/config
config_profile = Default</code></pre>
<p>Advantages: - One can use this method from any server within OCI or
on-premises or from other cloud provider.</p>
<p>Considerations: - you need to configure user’s privileges / policy to
allow access to object storage - Overhead of managing users and keys. -
If the user is deleted, the config file will no longer work and may
cause automation regressions that use the user's credentials.</p>
<h3 id="instance-principal">Instance Principal</h3>
<p>An OCI compute instance can be authorized to use rclone by using it's
identity and certificates as an instance principal. With this approach
no credentials have to be stored and managed.</p>
<p>Sample rclone configuration file for Authentication Provider Instance
Principal:</p>
<pre><code>[opc@rclone ~]$ cat ~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf
[oos]
type = oracleobjectstorage
namespace = id&lt;redacted&gt;fn
compartment = ocid1.compartment.oc1..aa&lt;redacted&gt;k7a
region = us-ashburn-1
provider = instance_principal_auth</code></pre>
<p>Advantages:</p>
<ul>
<li>With instance principals, you don't need to configure user
credentials and transfer/ save it to disk in your compute instances or
rotate the credentials.</li>
<li>You don’t need to deal with users and keys.</li>
<li>Greatly helps in automation as you don't have to manage access keys,
user private keys, storing them in vault, using kms etc.</li>
</ul>
<p>Considerations:</p>
<ul>
<li>You need to configure a dynamic group having this instance as member
and add policy to read object storage to that dynamic group.</li>
<li>Everyone who has access to this machine can execute the CLI
commands.</li>
<li>It is applicable for oci compute instances only. It cannot be used
on external instance or resources.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="resource-principal">Resource Principal</h3>
<p>Resource principal auth is very similar to instance principal auth
but used for resources that are not compute instances such as <a
href="https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Functions/Concepts/functionsoverview.htm">serverless
functions</a>. To use resource principal ensure Rclone process is
started with these environment variables set in its process.</p>
<pre><code>export OCI_RESOURCE_PRINCIPAL_VERSION=2.2
export OCI_RESOURCE_PRINCIPAL_REGION=us-ashburn-1
export OCI_RESOURCE_PRINCIPAL_PRIVATE_PEM=/usr/share/model-server/key.pem
export OCI_RESOURCE_PRINCIPAL_RPST=/usr/share/model-server/security_token</code></pre>
<p>Sample rclone configuration file for Authentication Provider Resource
Principal:</p>
<pre><code>[oos]
type = oracleobjectstorage
namespace = id&lt;redacted&gt;34
compartment = ocid1.compartment.oc1..aa&lt;redacted&gt;ba
region = us-ashburn-1
provider = resource_principal_auth</code></pre>
<h3 id="workload-identity">Workload Identity</h3>
<p>Workload Identity auth may be used when running Rclone from
Kubernetes pod on a Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE) cluster. For
more details on configuring Workload Identity, see <a
href="https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/ContEng/Tasks/contenggrantingworkloadaccesstoresources.htm">Granting
Workloads Access to OCI Resources</a>. To use workload identity, ensure
Rclone is started with these environment variables set in its
process.</p>
<pre><code>export OCI_RESOURCE_PRINCIPAL_VERSION=2.2
export OCI_RESOURCE_PRINCIPAL_REGION=us-ashburn-1</code></pre>
<h3 id="no-authentication">No authentication</h3>
<p>Public buckets do not require any authentication mechanism to read
objects. Sample rclone configuration file for No authentication:</p>
<pre><code>[oos]
type = oracleobjectstorage
namespace = id&lt;redacted&gt;34
compartment = ocid1.compartment.oc1..aa&lt;redacted&gt;ba
region = us-ashburn-1
provider = no_auth</code></pre>
<h3 id="modification-times-and-hashes-17">Modification times and
hashes</h3>
<p>The modification time is stored as metadata on the object as
<code>opc-meta-mtime</code> as floating point since the epoch, accurate
to 1 ns.</p>
<p>If the modification time needs to be updated rclone will attempt to
perform a server side copy to update the modification if the object can
be copied in a single part. In the case the object is larger than 5Gb,
the object will be uploaded rather than copied.</p>
<p>Note that reading this from the object takes an additional
<code>HEAD</code> request as the metadata isn't returned in object
listings.</p>
<p>The MD5 hash algorithm is supported.</p>
<h3 id="multipart-uploads-1">Multipart uploads</h3>
<p>rclone supports multipart uploads with OOS which means that it can
upload files bigger than 5 GiB.</p>
<p>Note that files uploaded <em>both</em> with multipart upload
<em>and</em> through crypt remotes do not have MD5 sums.</p>
<p>rclone switches from single part uploads to multipart uploads at the
point specified by <code>--oos-upload-cutoff</code>. This can be a
maximum of 5 GiB and a minimum of 0 (ie always upload multipart
files).</p>
<p>The chunk sizes used in the multipart upload are specified by
<code>--oos-chunk-size</code> and the number of chunks uploaded
concurrently is specified by <code>--oos-upload-concurrency</code>.</p>
<p>Multipart uploads will use <code>--transfers</code> *
<code>--oos-upload-concurrency</code> * <code>--oos-chunk-size</code>
extra memory. Single part uploads to not use extra memory.</p>
<p>Single part transfers can be faster than multipart transfers or
slower depending on your latency from oos - the more latency, the more
likely single part transfers will be faster.</p>
<p>Increasing <code>--oos-upload-concurrency</code> will increase
throughput (8 would be a sensible value) and increasing
<code>--oos-chunk-size</code> also increases throughput (16M would be
sensible). Increasing either of these will use more memory. The default
values are high enough to gain most of the possible performance without
using too much memory.</p>

size (e.g. from "rclone rcat" or uploaded with "rclone mount" they will
be uploaded as multipart uploads using this chunk size.</p>
<p>Note that "upload_concurrency" chunks of this size are buffered in
memory per transfer.</p>
<p>If you are transferring large files over high-speed links and you
have enough memory, then increasing this will speed up the
transfers.</p>
<p>Rclone will automatically increase the chunk size when uploading a
large file of known size to stay below the 10,000 chunks limit.</p>
<p>Files of unknown size are uploaded with the configured chunk_size.
Since the default chunk size is 5 MiB and there can be at most 10,000
chunks, this means that by default the maximum size of a file you can
stream upload is 48 GiB. If you wish to stream upload larger files then
you will need to increase chunk_size.</p>
<p>Increasing the chunk size decreases the accuracy of the progress
statistics displayed with "-P" flag.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: chunk_size</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_OOS_CHUNK_SIZE</li>

<p>This option defines the maximum number of multipart chunks to use
when doing a multipart upload.</p>
<p>OCI has max parts limit of 10,000 chunks.</p>
<p>Rclone will automatically increase the chunk size when uploading a
large file of a known size to stay below this number of chunks
limit.</p>

details.</p>
<h3 id="multipart-uploads-2">Multipart uploads</h3>
<p>rclone supports multipart uploads with QingStor which means that it
can upload files bigger than 5 GiB. Note that files uploaded with
multipart upload don't have an MD5SUM.</p>
<p>Note that incomplete multipart uploads older than 24 hours can be
removed with <code>rclone cleanup remote:bucket</code> just for one
bucket <code>rclone cleanup remote:</code> for all buckets. QingStor
does not ever remove incomplete multipart uploads so it may be necessary
to run this from time to time.</p>
<h3 id="buckets-and-zone">Buckets and Zone</h3>
<p>With QingStor you can list buckets (<code>rclone lsd</code>) using
any zone, but you can only access the content of a bucket from the zone
it was created in. If you attempt to access a bucket from the wrong
zone, you will get an error,
<code>incorrect zone, the bucket is not in 'XXX' zone</code>.</p>
<h3 id="authentication-6">Authentication</h3>
<p>There are two ways to supply <code>rclone</code> with a set of
QingStor credentials. In order of precedence:</p>
<ul>
<li>Directly in the rclone configuration file (as configured by
<code>rclone config</code>)
<ul>
<li>set <code>access_key_id</code> and
<code>secret_access_key</code></li>
</ul></li>
<li>Runtime configuration:
<ul>
<li>set <code>env_auth</code> to <code>true</code> in the config

<li>Exporting the following environment variables before running
<code>rclone</code>
<ul>
<li>Access Key ID: <code>QS_ACCESS_KEY_ID</code> or

<p>API Key is created with no expiration date. It will be valid until
you delete or deactivate it in your account. After disabling, the API

<h3 id="modification-times-and-hashes-18">Modification times and
hashes</h3>
<p>Quatrix allows modification times to be set on objects accurate to 1
microsecond. These will be used to detect whether objects need syncing
or not.</p>
<p>Quatrix does not support hashes, so you cannot use the
<code>--checksum</code> flag.</p>
<h3 id="restricted-filename-characters-22">Restricted filename
characters</h3>
<p>File names in Quatrix are case sensitive and have limitations like
the maximum length of a filename is 255, and the minimum length is 1. A
file name cannot be equal to <code>.</code> or <code>..</code> nor
contain <code>/</code> , <code>\</code> or non-printable ascii.</p>
<h3 id="transfers-4">Transfers</h3>
<p>For files above 50 MiB rclone will use a chunked transfer. Rclone
will upload up to <code>--transfers</code> chunks at the same time
(shared among all multipart uploads). Chunks are buffered in memory, and
the minimal chunk size is 10_000_000 bytes by default, and it can be
changed in the advanced configuration, so increasing
<code>--transfers</code> will increase the memory use. The chunk size
has a maximum size limit, which is set to 100_000_000 bytes by default
and can be changed in the advanced configuration. The size of the
uploaded chunk will dynamically change depending on the upload speed.
The total memory use equals the number of transfers multiplied by the
minimal chunk size. In case there's free memory allocated for the upload
(which equals the difference of <code>maximal_summary_chunk_size</code>
and <code>minimal_chunk_size</code> * <code>transfers</code>), the chunk
size may increase in case of high upload speed. As well as it can
decrease in case of upload speed problems. If no free memory is
available, all chunks will equal <code>minimal_chunk_size</code>.</p>
<h3 id="deleting-files-5">Deleting files</h3>
<p>Files you delete with rclone will end up in Trash and be stored there
for 30 days. Quatrix also provides an API to permanently delete files
and an API to empty the Trash so that you can remove files permanently
from your account.</p>

<h2 id="storage-usage">Storage usage</h2>
<p>The storage usage in Quatrix is restricted to the account during the
purchase. You can restrict any user with a smaller storage limit. The
account limit is applied if the user has no custom storage limit. Once
you've reached the limit, the upload of files will fail. This can be
fixed by freeing up the space or increasing the quota.</p>
<h2 id="server-side-operations">Server-side operations</h2>
<p>Quatrix supports server-side operations (copy and move). In case of
conflict, files are overwritten during server-side operation.</p>
<h1 id="sia">Sia</h1>
<p>Sia (<a href="https://sia.tech/">sia.tech</a>) is a decentralized
cloud storage platform based on the <a
href="https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockchain">blockchain</a> technology.
With rclone you can use it like any other remote filesystem or mount Sia
folders locally. The technology behind it involves a number of new
concepts such as Siacoins and Wallet, Blockchain and Consensus, Renting
and Hosting, and so on. If you are new to it, you'd better first
familiarize yourself using their excellent <a
href="https://support.sia.tech/">support documentation</a>.</p>
<h2 id="introduction-1">Introduction</h2>
<p>Before you can use rclone with Sia, you will need to have a running
copy of <code>Sia-UI</code> or <code>siad</code> (the Sia daemon)
locally on your computer or on local network (e.g. a NAS). Please follow
the <a href="https://sia.tech/get-started">Get started</a> guide and
install one.</p>
<p>rclone interacts with Sia network by talking to the Sia daemon via <a
href="https://sia.tech/docs/">HTTP API</a> which is usually available on
port <em>9980</em>. By default you will run the daemon locally on the
same computer so it's safe to leave the API password blank (the API URL
will be <code>http://127.0.0.1:9980</code> making external access
impossible).</p>
<p>However, if you want to access Sia daemon running on another node,
for example due to memory constraints or because you want to share
single daemon between several rclone and Sia-UI instances, you'll need
to make a few more provisions: - Ensure you have <em>Sia daemon</em>
installed directly or in a <a
href="https://github.com/SiaFoundation/siad/pkgs/container/siad">docker
container</a> because Sia-UI does not support this mode natively. - Run
it on externally accessible port, for example provide
<code>--api-addr :9980</code> and <code>--disable-api-security</code>
arguments on the daemon command line. - Enforce API password for the
<code>siad</code> daemon via environment variable
<code>SIA_API_PASSWORD</code> or text file named
<code>apipassword</code> in the daemon directory. - Set rclone backend
option <code>api_password</code> taking it from above locations.</p>
<p>Notes: 1. If your wallet is locked, rclone cannot unlock it
automatically. You should either unlock it in advance by using Sia-UI or
via command line <code>siac wallet unlock</code>. Alternatively you can
make <code>siad</code> unlock your wallet automatically upon startup by
running it with environment variable <code>SIA_WALLET_PASSWORD</code>.
2. If <code>siad</code> cannot find the <code>SIA_API_PASSWORD</code>
variable or the <code>apipassword</code> file in the
<code>SIA_DIR</code> directory, it will generate a random password and
store in the text file named <code>apipassword</code> under
<code>YOUR_HOME/.sia/</code> directory on Unix or
<code>C:\Users\YOUR_HOME\AppData\Local\Sia\apipassword</code> on
Windows. Remember this when you configure password in rclone. 3. The
only way to use <code>siad</code> without API password is to run it
<strong>on localhost</strong> with command line argument
<code>--authorize-api=false</code>, but this is insecure and
<strong>strongly discouraged</strong>.</p>
<h2 id="configuration-39">Configuration</h2>
<p>Here is an example of how to make a <code>sia</code> remote called
<code>mySia</code>. First, run:</p>

<h3 id="configuration-from-an-openstack-credentials-file">Configuration
from an OpenStack credentials file</h3>
<p>An OpenStack credentials file typically looks something something
like this (without the comments)</p>
<pre><code>export OS_AUTH_URL=https://a.provider.net/v2.0
export OS_TENANT_ID=ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
export OS_TENANT_NAME=&quot;1234567890123456&quot;

export OS_PASSWORD=$OS_PASSWORD_INPUT
export OS_REGION_NAME=&quot;SBG1&quot;
if [ -z &quot;$OS_REGION_NAME&quot; ]; then unset OS_REGION_NAME; fi</code></pre>
<p>The config file needs to look something like this where
<code>$OS_USERNAME</code> represents the value of the
<code>OS_USERNAME</code> variable - <code>123abc567xy</code> in the
example above.</p>
<pre><code>[remote]
type = swift
user = $OS_USERNAME
key = $OS_PASSWORD
auth = $OS_AUTH_URL

<p>Note that you may (or may not) need to set <code>region</code> too -
try without first.</p>
<h3 id="configuration-from-the-environment">Configuration from the
environment</h3>
<p>If you prefer you can configure rclone to use swift using a standard
set of OpenStack environment variables.</p>
<p>When you run through the config, make sure you choose
<code>true</code> for <code>env_auth</code> and leave everything else
blank.</p>
<p>rclone will then set any empty config parameters from the environment
using standard OpenStack environment variables. There is <a
href="https://godoc.org/github.com/ncw/swift#Connection.ApplyEnvironment">a
list of the variables</a> in the docs for the swift library.</p>
<h3 id="using-an-alternate-authentication-method">Using an alternate

<p>If your OpenStack installation uses a non-standard authentication
method that might not be yet supported by rclone or the underlying swift
library, you can authenticate externally (e.g. calling manually the
<code>openstack</code> commands to get a token). Then, you just need to
pass the two configuration variables <code>auth_token</code> and
<code>storage_url</code>. If they are both provided, the other variables
are ignored. rclone will not try to authenticate but instead assume it
is already authenticated and use these two variables to access the
OpenStack installation.</p>
<h4 id="using-rclone-without-a-config-file">Using rclone without a
config file</h4>
<p>You can use rclone with swift without a config file, if desired, like
this:</p>
<pre><code>source openstack-credentials-file
export RCLONE_CONFIG_MYREMOTE_TYPE=swift
export RCLONE_CONFIG_MYREMOTE_ENV_AUTH=true
rclone lsd myremote:</code></pre>
<h3 id="fast-list-8">--fast-list</h3>
<p>This remote supports <code>--fast-list</code> which allows you to use
fewer transactions in exchange for more memory. See the <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#fast-list">rclone docs</a> for more
details.</p>
<h3 id="update-and---use-server-modtime">--update and
--use-server-modtime</h3>
<p>As noted below, the modified time is stored on metadata on the
object. It is used by default for all operations that require checking
the time a file was last updated. It allows rclone to treat the remote
more like a true filesystem, but it is inefficient because it requires
an extra API call to retrieve the metadata.</p>
<p>For many operations, the time the object was last uploaded to the
remote is sufficient to determine if it is "dirty". By using
<code>--update</code> along with <code>--use-server-modtime</code>, you
can avoid the extra API call and simply upload files whose local modtime
is newer than the time it was last uploaded.</p>
<h3 id="modification-times-and-hashes-19">Modification times and
hashes</h3>
<p>The modified time is stored as metadata on the object as
<code>X-Object-Meta-Mtime</code> as floating point since the epoch
accurate to 1 ns.</p>
<p>This is a de facto standard (used in the official python-swiftclient
amongst others) for storing the modification time for an object.</p>
<p>The MD5 hash algorithm is supported.</p>

<p>When paginating, always fetch unless we received an empty page.</p>
<p>Consider using this option if rclone listings show fewer objects than
expected, or if repeated syncs copy unchanged objects.</p>
<p>It is safe to enable this, but rclone may make more API calls than
necessary.</p>
<p>This is one of a pair of workarounds to handle implementations of the

</ul>
<h4 id="swift-chunk-size">--swift-chunk-size</h4>
<p>Above this size files will be chunked.</p>
<p>Above this size files will be chunked into a a <code>_segments</code>
container or a <code>.file-segments</code> directory. (See the
<code>use_segments_container</code> option for more info). Default for
this is 5 GiB which is its maximum value, which means only files above
this size will be chunked.</p>
<p>Rclone uploads chunked files as dynamic large objects (DLO).</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: chunk_size</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_SWIFT_CHUNK_SIZE</li>
<li>Type: SizeSuffix</li>
<li>Default: 5Gi</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="swift-no-chunk">--swift-no-chunk</h4>
<p>Don't chunk files during streaming upload.</p>
<p>When doing streaming uploads (e.g. using <code>rcat</code> or
<code>mount</code> with <code>--vfs-cache-mode off</code>) setting this
flag will cause the swift backend to not upload chunked files.</p>
<p>This will limit the maximum streamed upload size to 5 GiB. This is
useful because non chunked files are easier to deal with and have an
MD5SUM.</p>
<p>Rclone will still chunk files bigger than <code>chunk_size</code>
when doing normal copy operations.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: no_chunk</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_SWIFT_NO_CHUNK</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="swift-no-large-objects">--swift-no-large-objects</h4>
<p>Disable support for static and dynamic large objects</p>
<p>Swift cannot transparently store files bigger than 5 GiB. There are
two schemes for chunking large files, static large objects (SLO) or
dynamic large objects (DLO), and the API does not allow rclone to
determine whether a file is a static or dynamic large object without
doing a HEAD on the object. Since these need to be treated differently,
this means rclone has to issue HEAD requests for objects for example
when reading checksums.</p>
<p>When <code>no_large_objects</code> is set, rclone will assume that
there are no static or dynamic large objects stored. This means it can
stop doing the extra HEAD calls which in turn increases performance
greatly especially when doing a swift to swift transfer with
<code>--checksum</code> set.</p>
<p>Setting this option implies <code>no_chunk</code> and also that no
files will be uploaded in chunks, so files bigger than 5 GiB will just
fail on upload.</p>
<p>If you set this option and there <strong>are</strong> static or
dynamic large objects, then this will give incorrect hashes for them.
Downloads will succeed, but other operations such as Remove and Copy
will fail.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: no_large_objects</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_SWIFT_NO_LARGE_OBJECTS</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4
id="swift-use-segments-container">--swift-use-segments-container</h4>
<p>Choose destination for large object segments</p>
<p>Swift cannot transparently store files bigger than 5 GiB and rclone
will chunk files larger than <code>chunk_size</code> (default 5 GiB) in
order to upload them.</p>
<p>If this value is <code>true</code> the chunks will be stored in an
additional container named the same as the destination container but
with <code>_segments</code> appended. This means that there won't be any
duplicated data in the original container but having another container
may not be acceptable.</p>
<p>If this value is <code>false</code> the chunks will be stored in a
<code>.file-segments</code> directory in the root of the container. This
directory will be omitted when listing the container. Some providers (eg
Blomp) require this mode as creating additional containers isn't
allowed. If it is desired to see the <code>.file-segments</code>
directory in the root then this flag must be set to
<code>true</code>.</p>
<p>If this value is <code>unset</code> (the default), then rclone will
choose the value to use. It will be <code>false</code> unless rclone
detects any <code>auth_url</code>s that it knows need it to be
<code>true</code>. In this case you'll see a message in the DEBUG
log.</p>

<h2 id="limitations-30">Limitations</h2>

<h2 id="troubleshooting-3">Troubleshooting</h2>
<h3
id="rclone-gives-failed-to-create-file-system-for-remote-bad-request">Rclone
gives Failed to create file system for "remote:": Bad Request</h3>
<p>Due to an oddity of the underlying swift library, it gives a "Bad
Request" error rather than a more sensible error when the authentication
fails for Swift.</p>
<p>So this most likely means your username / password is wrong. You can
investigate further with the <code>--dump-bodies</code> flag.</p>
<p>This may also be caused by specifying the region when you shouldn't
have (e.g. OVH).</p>
<h3
id="rclone-gives-failed-to-create-file-system-response-didnt-have-storage-url-and-auth-token">Rclone
gives Failed to create file system: Response didn't have storage url and

<p>This is most likely caused by forgetting to specify your tenant when
setting up a swift remote.</p>
<h2 id="ovh-cloud-archive">OVH Cloud Archive</h2>
<p>To use rclone with OVH cloud archive, first use
<code>rclone config</code> to set up a <code>swift</code> backend with
OVH, choosing <code>pca</code> as the <code>storage_policy</code>.</p>
<h3 id="uploading-objects">Uploading Objects</h3>
<p>Uploading objects to OVH cloud archive is no different to object
storage, you just simply run the command you like (move, copy or sync)
to upload the objects. Once uploaded the objects will show in a "Frozen"
state within the OVH control panel.</p>
<h3 id="retrieving-objects">Retrieving Objects</h3>
<p>To retrieve objects use <code>rclone copy</code> as normal. If the
objects are in a frozen state then rclone will ask for them all to be
unfrozen and it will wait at the end of the output with a message like
the following:</p>
<p><code>2019/03/23 13:06:33 NOTICE: Received retry after error - sleeping until 2019-03-23T13:16:33.481657164+01:00 (9m59.99985121s)</code></p>
<p>Rclone will wait for the time specified then retry the copy.</p>
<h1 id="pcloud">pCloud</h1>
<p>Paths are specified as <code>remote:path</code></p>
<p>Paths may be as deep as required, e.g.
<code>remote:directory/subdirectory</code>.</p>
<h2 id="configuration-41">Configuration</h2>
<p>The initial setup for pCloud involves getting a token from pCloud
which you need to do in your browser. <code>rclone config</code> walks
you through it.</p>
<p>Here is an example of how to make a remote called
<code>remote</code>. First run:</p>
<pre><code> rclone config</code></pre>
<p>This will guide you through an interactive setup process:</p>

<p>See the <a href="https://rclone.org/remote_setup/">remote setup
docs</a> for how to set it up on a machine with no Internet browser
available.</p>
<p>Note that rclone runs a webserver on your local machine to collect
the token as returned from pCloud. This only runs from the moment it
opens your browser to the moment you get back the verification code.
This is on <code>http://127.0.0.1:53682/</code> and this it may require
you to unblock it temporarily if you are running a host firewall.</p>
<p>Once configured you can then use <code>rclone</code> like this,</p>
<p>List directories in top level of your pCloud</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsd remote:</code></pre>
<p>List all the files in your pCloud</p>
<pre><code>rclone ls remote:</code></pre>

<pre><code>rclone copy /home/source remote:backup</code></pre>
<h3 id="modification-times-and-hashes-20">Modification times and
hashes</h3>
<p>pCloud allows modification times to be set on objects accurate to 1
second. These will be used to detect whether objects need syncing or
not. In order to set a Modification time pCloud requires the object be
re-uploaded.</p>
<p>pCloud supports MD5 and SHA1 hashes in the US region, and SHA1 and
SHA256 hashes in the EU region, so you can use the
<code>--checksum</code> flag.</p>
<h3 id="restricted-filename-characters-24">Restricted filename

<h3 id="deleting-files-6">Deleting files</h3>
<p>Deleted files will be moved to the trash. Your subscription level
will determine how long items stay in the trash.
<code>rclone cleanup</code> can be used to empty the trash.</p>
<h3 id="emptying-the-trash">Emptying the trash</h3>
<p>Due to an API limitation, the <code>rclone cleanup</code> command
will only work if you set your username and password in the advanced
options for this backend. Since we generally want to avoid storing user
passwords in the rclone config file, we advise you to only set this up
if you need the <code>rclone cleanup</code> command to work.</p>
<h3 id="root-folder-id-4">Root folder ID</h3>
<p>You can set the <code>root_folder_id</code> for rclone. This is the

considers to be the root of your pCloud drive.</p>
<p>Normally you will leave this blank and rclone will determine the
correct root to use itself.</p>
<p>However you can set this to restrict rclone to a specific folder
hierarchy.</p>
<p>In order to do this you will have to find the <code>Folder ID</code>
of the directory you wish rclone to display. This will be the
<code>folder</code> field of the URL when you open the relevant folder
in the pCloud web interface.</p>
<p>So if the folder you want rclone to use has a URL which looks like
<code>https://my.pcloud.com/#page=filemanager&amp;folder=5xxxxxxxx8&amp;tpl=foldergrid</code>
in the browser, then you use <code>5xxxxxxxx8</code> as the
<code>root_folder_id</code> in the config.</p>

<h3 id="usage-without-account">Usage without account</h3>
<p>It is possible to gain read-only access to publicly shared
directories through rclone. For this you only need a directory ID. The
directory ID can be found in the URL of a shared directory, the URL will
look like this <code>https://pixeldrain.com/d/abcd1234</code> where
<code>abcd1234</code> is the directory ID. Directory IDs in your own
filesystem can also be listed with the <code>lsf</code> command:</p>
<p><code>rclone lsf Pixeldrain: --dirs-only -Fpi</code></p>
<p>This will print directories in your <code>Pixeldrain</code> home
directory and their public IDs.</p>
<p>Enter this directory ID in the rclone config and you will be able to
access the directory.</p>

<h1 id="proton-drive">Proton Drive</h1>
<p><a href="https://proton.me/drive">Proton Drive</a> is an end-to-end
encrypted Swiss vault for your files that protects your data.</p>
<p>This is an rclone backend for Proton Drive which supports the file
transfer features of Proton Drive using the same client-side
encryption.</p>
<p>Due to the fact that Proton Drive doesn't publish its API
documentation, this backend is implemented with best efforts by reading
the open-sourced client source code and observing the Proton Drive
traffic in the browser.</p>
<p><strong>NB</strong> This backend is currently in Beta. It is believed
to be correct and all the integration tests pass. However the Proton
Drive protocol has evolved over time there may be accounts it is not
compatible with. Please <a href="https://forum.rclone.org/">post on the
rclone forum</a> if you find an incompatibility.</p>

<p>This backend uses the <a
href="https://github.com/henrybear327/Proton-API-Bridge">Proton-API-Bridge</a>,
which is based on <a
href="https://github.com/henrybear327/go-proton-api">go-proton-api</a>,
a fork of the <a
href="https://github.com/ProtonMail/go-proton-api">official
repo</a>.</p>
<p>There is no official API documentation available from Proton Drive.
But, thanks to Proton open sourcing <a
href="https://github.com/ProtonMail/go-proton-api">proton-go-api</a> and
the web, iOS, and Android client codebases, we don't need to completely
reverse engineer the APIs by observing the web client traffic!</p>
<p><a
href="https://github.com/ProtonMail/go-proton-api">proton-go-api</a>
provides the basic building blocks of API calls and error handling, such
as 429 exponential back-off, but it is pretty much just a barebone
interface to the Proton API. For example, the encryption and decryption
of the Proton Drive file are not provided in this library.</p>
<p>The Proton-API-Bridge, attempts to bridge the gap, so rclone can be
built on top of this quickly. This codebase handles the intricate tasks
before and after calling Proton APIs, particularly the complex
encryption scheme, allowing developers to implement features for other
software on top of this codebase. There are likely quite a few errors in
this library, as there isn't official documentation available.</p>

<h1 id="proton-drive-1">Proton Drive</h1>
<p><a href="https://proton.me/drive">Proton Drive</a> is an end-to-end
encrypted Swiss vault for your files that protects your data.</p>
<p>This is an rclone backend for Proton Drive which supports the file
transfer features of Proton Drive using the same client-side
encryption.</p>
<p>Due to the fact that Proton Drive doesn't publish its API
documentation, this backend is implemented with best efforts by reading
the open-sourced client source code and observing the Proton Drive
traffic in the browser.</p>
<p><strong>NB</strong> This backend is currently in Beta. It is believed
to be correct and all the integration tests pass. However the Proton
Drive protocol has evolved over time there may be accounts it is not
compatible with. Please <a href="https://forum.rclone.org/">post on the
rclone forum</a> if you find an incompatibility.</p>
<p>Paths are specified as <code>remote:path</code></p>
<p>Paths may be as deep as required, e.g.
<code>remote:directory/subdirectory</code>.</p>
<h2 id="configurations-1">Configurations</h2>
<p>Here is an example of how to make a remote called
<code>remote</code>. First run:</p>
<pre><code> rclone config</code></pre>
<p>This will guide you through an interactive setup process:</p>
<pre><code>No remotes found, make a new one?
n) New remote
s) Set configuration password
q) Quit config

Keep this &quot;remote&quot; remote?
y) Yes this is OK
e) Edit this remote
d) Delete this remote
y/e/d&gt; y</code></pre>
<p><strong>NOTE:</strong> The Proton Drive encryption keys need to have
been already generated after a regular login via the browser, otherwise
attempting to use the credentials in <code>rclone</code> will fail.</p>
<p>Once configured you can then use <code>rclone</code> like this,</p>
<p>List directories in top level of your Proton Drive</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsd remote:</code></pre>
<p>List all the files in your Proton Drive</p>
<pre><code>rclone ls remote:</code></pre>

<h3 id="caching-1">Caching</h3>
<p>The cache is currently built for the case when the rclone is the only
instance performing operations to the mount point. The event system,
which is the proton API system that provides visibility of what has
changed on the drive, is yet to be implemented, so updates from other
clients won’t be reflected in the cache. Thus, if there are concurrent
clients accessing the same mount point, then we might have a problem
with caching the stale data.</p>

<p>The value can also be set by
--protondrive-replace-existing-draft=true</p>
<p>If the option is set to true, the draft will be replaced and then the
upload operation will restart. If there are other clients also uploading
at the same file location at the same time, the behavior is currently
unknown. Need to set to true for integration tests. If the option is set
to false, an error "a draft exist - usually this means a file is being
uploaded at another client, or, there was a failed upload attempt" will
be returned, and no upload will happen.</p>

<h2 id="limitations-35">Limitations</h2>
<p>This backend uses the <a
href="https://github.com/henrybear327/Proton-API-Bridge">Proton-API-Bridge</a>,
which is based on <a
href="https://github.com/henrybear327/go-proton-api">go-proton-api</a>,
a fork of the <a
href="https://github.com/ProtonMail/go-proton-api">official
repo</a>.</p>
<p>There is no official API documentation available from Proton Drive.
But, thanks to Proton open sourcing <a
href="https://github.com/ProtonMail/go-proton-api">proton-go-api</a> and
the web, iOS, and Android client codebases, we don't need to completely
reverse engineer the APIs by observing the web client traffic!</p>
<p><a
href="https://github.com/ProtonMail/go-proton-api">proton-go-api</a>
provides the basic building blocks of API calls and error handling, such
as 429 exponential back-off, but it is pretty much just a barebone
interface to the Proton API. For example, the encryption and decryption
of the Proton Drive file are not provided in this library.</p>
<p>The Proton-API-Bridge, attempts to bridge the gap, so rclone can be
built on top of this quickly. This codebase handles the intricate tasks
before and after calling Proton APIs, particularly the complex
encryption scheme, allowing developers to implement features for other
software on top of this codebase. There are likely quite a few errors in
this library, as there isn't official documentation available.</p>
<h1 id="seafile">Seafile</h1>
<p>This is a backend for the <a
href="https://www.seafile.com/">Seafile</a> storage service: - It works
with both the free community edition or the professional edition. -
Seafile versions 6.x, 7.x, 8.x and 9.x are all supported. - Encrypted
libraries are also supported. - It supports 2FA enabled users - Using a
Library API Token is <strong>not</strong> supported</p>
<h2 id="configuration-45">Configuration</h2>
<p>There are two distinct modes you can setup your remote: - you point
your remote to the <strong>root of the server</strong>, meaning you
don't specify a library during the configuration: Paths are specified as
<code>remote:library</code>. You may put subdirectories in too, e.g.
<code>remote:library/path/to/dir</code>. - you point your remote to a
specific library during the configuration: Paths are specified as
<code>remote:path/to/dir</code>. <strong>This is the recommended mode
when using encrypted libraries</strong>. (<em>This mode is possibly
slightly faster than the root mode</em>)</p>

<h1 id="sftp">SFTP</h1>
<p>SFTP is the <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_File_Transfer_Protocol">Secure
(or SSH) File Transfer Protocol</a>.</p>
<p>The SFTP backend can be used with a number of different
providers:</p>
<ul>
<li>Hetzner Storage Box</li>
<li>rsync.net</li>
</ul>
<p>SFTP runs over SSH v2 and is installed as standard with most modern
SSH installations.</p>
<p>Paths are specified as <code>remote:path</code>. If the path does not
begin with a <code>/</code> it is relative to the home directory of the
user. An empty path <code>remote:</code> refers to the user's home
directory. For example, <code>rclone lsd remote:</code> would list the
home directory of the user configured in the rclone remote config
(<code>i.e /home/sftpuser</code>). However,
<code>rclone lsd remote:/</code> would list the root directory for
remote machine (i.e. <code>/</code>)</p>
<p>Note that some SFTP servers will need the leading / - Synology is a
good example of this. rsync.net and Hetzner, on the other hand, requires
users to OMIT the leading /.</p>
<p>Note that by default rclone will try to execute shell commands on the
server, see <a href="#shell-access-considerations">shell access
considerations</a>.</p>
<h2 id="configuration-46">Configuration</h2>
<p>Here is an example of making an SFTP configuration. First run</p>

y/e/d&gt; y</code></pre>
<p>This remote is called <code>remote</code> and can now be used like
this:</p>
<p>See all directories in the home directory</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsd remote:</code></pre>
<p>See all directories in the root directory</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsd remote:/</code></pre>
<p>Make a new directory</p>
<pre><code>rclone mkdir remote:path/to/directory</code></pre>
<p>List the contents of a directory</p>
<pre><code>rclone ls remote:path/to/directory</code></pre>

<p>Mount the remote path <code>/srv/www-data/</code> to the local path
<code>/mnt/www-data</code></p>
<pre><code>rclone mount remote:/srv/www-data/ /mnt/www-data</code></pre>
<h3 id="ssh-authentication">SSH Authentication</h3>
<p>The SFTP remote supports three authentication methods:</p>
<ul>
<li>Password</li>
<li>Key file, including certificate signed keys</li>
<li>ssh-agent</li>
</ul>
<p>Key files should be PEM-encoded private key files. For instance
<code>/home/$USER/.ssh/id_rsa</code>. Only unencrypted OpenSSH or PEM
encrypted files are supported.</p>
<p>The key file can be specified in either an external file (key_file)
or contained within the rclone config file (key_pem). If using key_pem
in the config file, the entry should be on a single line with new line
('' or '') separating lines. i.e.</p>
<pre><code>key_pem = -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\nMaMbaIXtE\n0gAMbMbaSsd\nMbaass\n-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----</code></pre>
<p>This will generate it correctly for key_pem for use in the
config:</p>
<pre><code>awk &#39;{printf &quot;%s\\n&quot;, $0}&#39; &lt; ~/.ssh/id_rsa</code></pre>
<p>If you don't specify <code>pass</code>, <code>key_file</code>, or
<code>key_pem</code> or <code>ask_password</code> then rclone will
attempt to contact an ssh-agent. You can also specify
<code>key_use_agent</code> to force the usage of an ssh-agent. In this
case <code>key_file</code> or <code>key_pem</code> can also be specified
to force the usage of a specific key in the ssh-agent.</p>
<p>Using an ssh-agent is the only way to load encrypted OpenSSH keys at
the moment.</p>
<p>If you set the <code>ask_password</code> option, rclone will prompt
for a password when needed and no password has been configured.</p>
<h4 id="certificate-signed-keys">Certificate-signed keys</h4>
<p>With traditional key-based authentication, you configure your private
key only, and the public key built into it will be used during the
authentication process.</p>
<p>If you have a certificate you may use it to sign your public key,
creating a separate SSH user certificate that should be used instead of
the plain public key extracted from the private key. Then you must
provide the path to the user certificate public key file in
<code>pubkey_file</code>.</p>
<p>Note: This is not the traditional public key paired with your private
key, typically saved as <code>/home/$USER/.ssh/id_rsa.pub</code>.
Setting this path in <code>pubkey_file</code> will not work.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre><code>[remote]
type = sftp
host = example.com
user = sftpuser
key_file = ~/id_rsa
pubkey_file = ~/id_rsa-cert.pub</code></pre>
<p>If you concatenate a cert with a private key then you can specify the
merged file in both places.</p>
<p>Note: the cert must come first in the file. e.g.</p>
<pre><code>cat id_rsa-cert.pub id_rsa &gt; merged_key</code></pre>
<h3 id="host-key-validation">Host key validation</h3>
<p>By default rclone will not check the server's host key for
validation. This can allow an attacker to replace a server with their
own and if you use password authentication then this can lead to that
password being exposed.</p>
<p>Host key matching, using standard <code>known_hosts</code> files can
be turned on by enabling the <code>known_hosts_file</code> option. This
can point to the file maintained by <code>OpenSSH</code> or can point to
a unique file.</p>
<p>e.g. using the OpenSSH <code>known_hosts</code> file:</p>
<pre><code>[remote]
type = sftp
host = example.com
user = sftpuser
pass =
known_hosts_file = ~/.ssh/known_hosts</code></pre>
<p>Alternatively you can create your own known hosts file like this:</p>
<pre><code>ssh-keyscan -t dsa,rsa,ecdsa,ed25519 example.com &gt;&gt; known_hosts</code></pre>
<p>There are some limitations:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>rclone</code> will not <em>manage</em> this file for you. If
the key is missing or wrong then the connection will be refused.</li>
<li>If the server is set up for a certificate host key then the entry in
the <code>known_hosts</code> file <em>must</em> be the
<code>@cert-authority</code> entry for the CA</li>
</ul>
<p>If the host key provided by the server does not match the one in the
file (or is missing) then the connection will be aborted and an error
returned such as</p>
<pre><code>NewFs: couldn&#39;t connect SSH: ssh: handshake failed: knownhosts: key mismatch</code></pre>
<p>or</p>
<pre><code>NewFs: couldn&#39;t connect SSH: ssh: handshake failed: knownhosts: key is unknown</code></pre>
<p>If you see an error such as</p>
<pre><code>NewFs: couldn&#39;t connect SSH: ssh: handshake failed: ssh: no authorities for hostname: example.com:22</code></pre>
<p>then it is likely the server has presented a CA signed host
certificate and you will need to add the appropriate
<code>@cert-authority</code> entry.</p>
<p>The <code>known_hosts_file</code> setting can be set during
<code>rclone config</code> as an advanced option.</p>
<h3 id="ssh-agent-on-macos">ssh-agent on macOS</h3>
<p>Note that there seem to be various problems with using an ssh-agent
on macOS due to recent changes in the OS. The most effective work-around
seems to be to start an ssh-agent in each session, e.g.</p>
<pre><code>eval `ssh-agent -s` &amp;&amp; ssh-add -A</code></pre>
<p>And then at the end of the session</p>
<pre><code>eval `ssh-agent -k`</code></pre>
<p>These commands can be used in scripts of course.</p>
<h3 id="shell-access">Shell access</h3>
<p>Some functionality of the SFTP backend relies on remote shell access,
and the possibility to execute commands. This includes <a
href="#checksum">checksum</a>, and in some cases also <a
href="#about-command">about</a>. The shell commands that must be
executed may be different on different type of shells, and also
quoting/escaping of file path arguments containing special characters
may be different. Rclone therefore needs to know what type of shell it
is, and if shell access is available at all.</p>
<p>Most servers run on some version of Unix, and then a basic Unix shell
can be assumed, without further distinction. Windows 10, Server 2019,
and later can also run a SSH server, which is a port of OpenSSH (see
official <a
href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/openssh/openssh_install_firstuse">installation
guide</a>). On a Windows server the shell handling is different:
Although it can also be set up to use a Unix type shell, e.g. Cygwin
bash, the default is to use Windows Command Prompt (cmd.exe), and
PowerShell is a recommended alternative. All of these have behave
differently, which rclone must handle.</p>
<p>Rclone tries to auto-detect what type of shell is used on the server,
first time you access the SFTP remote. If a remote shell session is
successfully created, it will look for indications that it is CMD or
PowerShell, with fall-back to Unix if not something else is detected. If
unable to even create a remote shell session, then shell command
execution will be disabled entirely. The result is stored in the SFTP
remote configuration, in option <code>shell_type</code>, so that the
auto-detection only have to be performed once. If you manually set a
value for this option before first run, the auto-detection will be
skipped, and if you set a different value later this will override any
existing. Value <code>none</code> can be set to avoid any attempts at
executing shell commands, e.g. if this is not allowed on the server. If
you have <code>shell_type = none</code> in the configuration then the <a
href="#sftp-ssh">ssh</a> must not be set.</p>
<p>When the server is <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_serve_sftp/">rclone serve
sftp</a>, the rclone SFTP remote will detect this as a Unix type shell -
even if it is running on Windows. This server does not actually have a
shell, but it accepts input commands matching the specific ones that the
SFTP backend relies on for Unix shells, e.g. <code>md5sum</code> and
<code>df</code>. Also it handles the string escape rules used for Unix
shell. Treating it as a Unix type shell from a SFTP remote will
therefore always be correct, and support all features.</p>
<h4 id="shell-access-considerations">Shell access considerations</h4>
<p>The shell type auto-detection logic, described above, means that by
default rclone will try to run a shell command the first time a new sftp
remote is accessed. If you configure a sftp remote without a config
file, e.g. an <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#backend-path-to-dir%5D">on the fly</a>
remote, rclone will have nowhere to store the result, and it will re-run
the command on every access. To avoid this you should explicitly set the
<code>shell_type</code> option to the correct value, or to
<code>none</code> if you want to prevent rclone from executing any
remote shell commands.</p>
<p>It is also important to note that, since the shell type decides how
quoting and escaping of file paths used as command-line arguments are
performed, configuring the wrong shell type may leave you exposed to
command injection exploits. Make sure to confirm the auto-detected shell
type, or explicitly set the shell type you know is correct, or disable
shell access until you know.</p>
<h3 id="checksum-2">Checksum</h3>
<p>SFTP does not natively support checksums (file hash), but rclone is
able to use checksumming if the same login has shell access, and can
execute remote commands. If there is a command that can calculate
compatible checksums on the remote system, Rclone can then be configured
to execute this whenever a checksum is needed, and read back the
results. Currently MD5 and SHA-1 are supported.</p>
<p>Normally this requires an external utility being available on the
server. By default rclone will try commands <code>md5sum</code>,
<code>md5</code> and <code>rclone md5sum</code> for MD5 checksums, and
the first one found usable will be picked. Same with
<code>sha1sum</code>, <code>sha1</code> and <code>rclone sha1sum</code>
commands for SHA-1 checksums. These utilities normally need to be in the
remote's PATH to be found.</p>
<p>In some cases the shell itself is capable of calculating checksums.
PowerShell is an example of such a shell. If rclone detects that the
remote shell is PowerShell, which means it most probably is a Windows
OpenSSH server, rclone will use a predefined script block to produce the
checksums when no external checksum commands are found (see <a
href="#shell-access">shell access</a>). This assumes PowerShell version
4.0 or newer.</p>
<p>The options <code>md5sum_command</code> and <code>sha1_command</code>
can be used to customize the command to be executed for calculation of
checksums. You can for example set a specific path to where md5sum and
sha1sum executables are located, or use them to specify some other tools
that print checksums in compatible format. The value can include
command-line arguments, or even shell script blocks as with PowerShell.
Rclone has subcommands <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_md5sum/">md5sum</a> and <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_sha1sum/">sha1sum</a> that use
compatible format, which means if you have an rclone executable on the
server it can be used. As mentioned above, they will be automatically
picked up if found in PATH, but if not you can set something like
<code>/path/to/rclone md5sum</code> as the value of option
<code>md5sum_command</code> to make sure a specific executable is
used.</p>
<p>Remote checksumming is recommended and enabled by default. First time
rclone is using a SFTP remote, if options <code>md5sum_command</code> or
<code>sha1_command</code> are not set, it will check if any of the
default commands for each of them, as described above, can be used. The
result will be saved in the remote configuration, so next time it will
use the same. Value <code>none</code> will be set if none of the default
commands could be used for a specific algorithm, and this algorithm will
not be supported by the remote.</p>
<p>Disabling the checksumming may be required if you are connecting to
SFTP servers which are not under your control, and to which the
execution of remote shell commands is prohibited. Set the configuration
option <code>disable_hashcheck</code> to <code>true</code> to disable
checksumming entirely, or set <code>shell_type</code> to
<code>none</code> to disable all functionality based on remote shell
command execution.</p>
<h3 id="modification-times-and-hashes-25">Modification times and
hashes</h3>
<p>Modified times are stored on the server to 1 second precision.</p>
<p>Modified times are used in syncing and are fully supported.</p>
<p>Some SFTP servers disable setting/modifying the file modification
time after upload (for example, certain configurations of ProFTPd with
mod_sftp). If you are using one of these servers, you can set the option
<code>set_modtime = false</code> in your RClone backend configuration to
disable this behaviour.</p>
<h3 id="about-command">About command</h3>
<p>The <code>about</code> command returns the total space, free space,
and used space on the remote for the disk of the specified path on the
remote or, if not set, the disk of the root on the remote.</p>
<p>SFTP usually supports the <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_about/">about</a> command, but
it depends on the server. If the server implements the vendor-specific
VFS statistics extension, which is normally the case with OpenSSH
instances, it will be used. If not, but the same login has access to a
Unix shell, where the <code>df</code> command is available (e.g. in the
remote's PATH), then this will be used instead. If the server shell is
PowerShell, probably with a Windows OpenSSH server, rclone will use a
built-in shell command (see <a href="#shell-access">shell access</a>).
If none of the above is applicable, <code>about</code> will fail.</p>

<h4 id="sftp-key-use-agent">--sftp-key-use-agent</h4>
<p>When set forces the usage of the ssh-agent.</p>
<p>When key-file is also set, the ".pub" file of the specified key-file

<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="sftp-ssh">--sftp-ssh</h4>
<p>Path and arguments to external ssh binary.</p>
<p>Normally rclone will use its internal ssh library to connect to the
SFTP server. However it does not implement all possible ssh options so
it may be desirable to use an external ssh binary.</p>
<p>Rclone ignores all the internal config if you use this option and
expects you to configure the ssh binary with the user/host/port and any
other options you need.</p>
<p><strong>Important</strong> The ssh command must log in without asking
for a password so needs to be configured with keys or certificates.</p>
<p>Rclone will run the command supplied either with the additional
arguments "-s sftp" to access the SFTP subsystem or with commands such
as "md5sum /path/to/file" appended to read checksums.</p>
<p>Any arguments with spaces in should be surrounded by "double
quotes".</p>
<p>An example setting might be:</p>
<pre><code>ssh -o ServerAliveInterval=20 user@example.com</code></pre>
<p>Note that when using an external ssh binary rclone makes a new ssh
connection for every hash it calculates.</p>

<p>Leading <code>~</code> will be expanded in the file name as will
environment variables such as <code>${RCLONE_CONFIG_DIR}</code>.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: known_hosts_file</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_KNOWN_HOSTS_FILE</li>
<li>Type: string</li>
<li>Required: false</li>

<h4 id="sftp-ask-password">--sftp-ask-password</h4>
<p>Allow asking for SFTP password when needed.</p>
<p>If this is set and no password is supplied then rclone will: - ask
for a password - not contact the ssh agent</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: ask_password</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_ASK_PASSWORD</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="sftp-path-override">--sftp-path-override</h4>
<p>Override path used by SSH shell commands.</p>
<p>This allows checksum calculation when SFTP and SSH paths are
different. This issue affects among others Synology NAS boxes.</p>
<p>E.g. if shared folders can be found in directories representing
volumes:</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync /home/local/directory remote:/directory --sftp-path-override /volume2/directory</code></pre>
<p>E.g. if home directory can be found in a shared folder called
"home":</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync /home/local/directory remote:/home/directory --sftp-path-override /volume1/homes/USER/directory</code></pre>
<p>To specify only the path to the SFTP remote's root, and allow rclone
to add any relative subpaths automatically (including
unwrapping/decrypting remotes as necessary), add the '@' character to
the beginning of the path.</p>
<p>E.g. the first example above could be rewritten as:</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync /home/local/directory remote:/directory --sftp-path-override @/volume2</code></pre>
<p>Note that when using this method with Synology "home" folders, the
full "/homes/USER" path should be specified instead of "/home".</p>
<p>E.g. the second example above should be rewritten as:</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync /home/local/directory remote:/homes/USER/directory --sftp-path-override @/volume1</code></pre>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: path_override</li>

<h4 id="sftp-subsystem">--sftp-subsystem</h4>
<p>Specifies the SSH2 subsystem on the remote host.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: subsystem</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_SUBSYSTEM</li>
<li>Type: string</li>
<li>Default: "sftp"</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="sftp-server-command">--sftp-server-command</h4>
<p>Specifies the path or command to run a sftp server on the remote
host.</p>
<p>The subsystem option is ignored when server_command is defined.</p>
<p>If adding server_command to the configuration file please note that
it should not be enclosed in quotes, since that will make rclone
fail.</p>
<p>A working example is:</p>
<pre><code>[remote_name]
type = sftp
server_command = sudo /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server</code></pre>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: server_command</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_SERVER_COMMAND</li>
<li>Type: string</li>
<li>Required: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="sftp-use-fstat">--sftp-use-fstat</h4>
<p>If set use fstat instead of stat.</p>
<p>Some servers limit the amount of open files and calling Stat after
opening the file will throw an error from the server. Setting this flag
will call Fstat instead of Stat which is called on an already open file
handle.</p>
<p>It has been found that this helps with IBM Sterling SFTP servers
which have "extractability" level set to 1 which means only 1 file can
be opened at any given time.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: use_fstat</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_USE_FSTAT</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4
id="sftp-disable-concurrent-reads">--sftp-disable-concurrent-reads</h4>
<p>If set don't use concurrent reads.</p>
<p>Normally concurrent reads are safe to use and not using them will
degrade performance, so this option is disabled by default.</p>
<p>Some servers limit the amount number of times a file can be
downloaded. Using concurrent reads can trigger this limit, so if you
have a server which returns</p>
<pre><code>Failed to copy: file does not exist</code></pre>
<p>Then you may need to enable this flag.</p>
<p>If concurrent reads are disabled, the use_fstat option is
ignored.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: disable_concurrent_reads</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_DISABLE_CONCURRENT_READS</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4
id="sftp-disable-concurrent-writes">--sftp-disable-concurrent-writes</h4>
<p>If set don't use concurrent writes.</p>
<p>Normally rclone uses concurrent writes to upload files. This improves
the performance greatly, especially for distant servers.</p>
<p>This option disables concurrent writes should that be necessary.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: disable_concurrent_writes</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_DISABLE_CONCURRENT_WRITES</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="sftp-idle-timeout">--sftp-idle-timeout</h4>
<p>Max time before closing idle connections.</p>
<p>If no connections have been returned to the connection pool in the
time given, rclone will empty the connection pool.</p>
<p>Set to 0 to keep connections indefinitely.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: idle_timeout</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_IDLE_TIMEOUT</li>
<li>Type: Duration</li>
<li>Default: 1m0s</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="sftp-chunk-size">--sftp-chunk-size</h4>
<p>Upload and download chunk size.</p>
<p>This controls the maximum size of payload in SFTP protocol packets.
The RFC limits this to 32768 bytes (32k), which is the default. However,
a lot of servers support larger sizes, typically limited to a maximum
total package size of 256k, and setting it larger will increase transfer
speed dramatically on high latency links. This includes OpenSSH, and,
for example, using the value of 255k works well, leaving plenty of room
for overhead while still being within a total packet size of 256k.</p>
<p>Make sure to test thoroughly before using a value higher than 32k,
and only use it if you always connect to the same server or after
sufficiently broad testing. If you get errors such as "failed to send
packet payload: EOF", lots of "connection lost", or "corrupted on
transfer", when copying a larger file, try lowering the value. The
server run by <a href="/commands/rclone_serve_sftp">rclone serve
sftp</a> sends packets with standard 32k maximum payload so you must not
set a different chunk_size when downloading files, but it accepts
packets up to the 256k total size, so for uploads the chunk_size can be
set as for the OpenSSH example above.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: chunk_size</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_CHUNK_SIZE</li>
<li>Type: SizeSuffix</li>
<li>Default: 32Ki</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="sftp-concurrency">--sftp-concurrency</h4>
<p>The maximum number of outstanding requests for one file</p>
<p>This controls the maximum number of outstanding requests for one
file. Increasing it will increase throughput on high latency links at
the cost of using more memory.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: concurrency</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_CONCURRENCY</li>
<li>Type: int</li>
<li>Default: 64</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="sftp-connections">--sftp-connections</h4>
<p>Maximum number of SFTP simultaneous connections, 0 for unlimited.</p>
<p>Note that setting this is very likely to cause deadlocks so it should
be used with care.</p>
<p>If you are doing a sync or copy then make sure connections is one
more than the sum of <code>--transfers</code> and
<code>--checkers</code>.</p>
<p>If you use <code>--check-first</code> then it just needs to be one
more than the maximum of <code>--checkers</code> and
<code>--transfers</code>.</p>
<p>So for <code>connections 3</code> you'd use
<code>--checkers 2 --transfers 2 --check-first</code> or
<code>--checkers 1 --transfers 1</code>.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: connections</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_CONNECTIONS</li>

<h4 id="sftp-set-env">--sftp-set-env</h4>
<p>Environment variables to pass to sftp and commands</p>
<p>Set environment variables in the form:</p>
<pre><code>VAR=value</code></pre>
<p>to be passed to the sftp client and to any commands run (eg
md5sum).</p>
<p>Pass multiple variables space separated, eg</p>
<pre><code>VAR1=value VAR2=value</code></pre>
<p>and pass variables with spaces in quotes, eg</p>

<p>Space separated list of ciphers to be used for session encryption,
ordered by preference.</p>
<p>At least one must match with server configuration. This can be
checked for example using ssh -Q cipher.</p>
<p>This must not be set if use_insecure_cipher is true.</p>
<p>Example:</p>

<h4 id="sftp-host-key-algorithms">--sftp-host-key-algorithms</h4>
<p>Space separated list of host key algorithms, ordered by
preference.</p>
<p>At least one must match with server configuration. This can be
checked for example using ssh -Q HostKeyAlgorithms.</p>
<p>Note: This can affect the outcome of key negotiation with the server
even if server host key validation is not enabled.</p>
<p>Example:</p>

</ul>
<h4 id="sftp-copy-is-hardlink">--sftp-copy-is-hardlink</h4>
<p>Set to enable server side copies using hardlinks.</p>
<p>The SFTP protocol does not define a copy command so normally server
side copies are not allowed with the sftp backend.</p>
<p>However the SFTP protocol does support hardlinking, and if you enable
this flag then the sftp backend will support server side copies. These
will be implemented by doing a hardlink from the source to the
destination.</p>
<p>Not all sftp servers support this.</p>
<p>Note that hardlinking two files together will use no additional space
as the source and the destination will be the same file.</p>
<p>This feature may be useful backups made with --copy-dest.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: copy_is_hardlink</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_COPY_IS_HARDLINK</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>

<li>Type: string</li>
<li>Required: false</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="limitations-36">Limitations</h2>
<p>On some SFTP servers (e.g. Synology) the paths are different for SSH
and SFTP so the hashes can't be calculated properly. For them using
<code>disable_hashcheck</code> is a good idea.</p>
<p>The only ssh agent supported under Windows is Putty's pageant.</p>
<p>The Go SSH library disables the use of the aes128-cbc cipher by
default, due to security concerns. This can be re-enabled on a
per-connection basis by setting the <code>use_insecure_cipher</code>
setting in the configuration file to <code>true</code>. Further details
on the insecurity of this cipher can be found <a
href="http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/SandPfinal.pdf">in this
paper</a>.</p>
<p>SFTP isn't supported under plan9 until <a
href="https://github.com/pkg/sftp/issues/156">this issue</a> is
fixed.</p>
<p>Note that since SFTP isn't HTTP based the following flags don't work
with it: <code>--dump-headers</code>, <code>--dump-bodies</code>,
<code>--dump-auth</code>.</p>
<p>Note that <code>--timeout</code> and <code>--contimeout</code> are
both supported.</p>
<h2 id="rsync-net">rsync.net</h2>
<p>rsync.net is supported through the SFTP backend.</p>
<p>See <a href="https://www.rsync.net/products/rclone.html">rsync.net's
documentation of rclone examples</a>.</p>
<h2 id="hetzner-storage-box">Hetzner Storage Box</h2>
<p>Hetzner Storage Boxes are supported through the SFTP backend on port
23.</p>
<p>See <a
href="https://docs.hetzner.com/robot/storage-box/access/access-ssh-rsync-borg#rclone">Hetzner's
documentation for details</a></p>
<h1 id="smb">SMB</h1>
<p>SMB is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Message_Block">a
communication protocol to share files over network</a>.</p>
<p>This relies on <a
href="https://github.com/hirochachacha/go-smb2/">go-smb2 library</a> for
communication with SMB protocol.</p>
<p>Paths are specified as <code>remote:sharename</code> (or
<code>remote:</code> for the <code>lsd</code> command.) You may put
subdirectories in too, e.g. <code>remote:item/path/to/dir</code>.</p>
<h2 id="notes-1">Notes</h2>
<p>The first path segment must be the name of the share, which you
entered when you started to share on Windows. On smbd, it's the section
title in <code>smb.conf</code> (usually in <code>/etc/samba/</code>)
file. You can find shares by querying the root if you're unsure (e.g.
<code>rclone lsd remote:</code>).</p>
<p>You can't access to the shared printers from rclone, obviously.</p>
<p>You can't use Anonymous access for logging in. You have to use the
<code>guest</code> user with an empty password instead. The rclone
client tries to avoid 8.3 names when uploading files by encoding
trailing spaces and periods. Alternatively, <a
href="https://rclone.org/local/#paths-on-windows">the local backend</a>
on Windows can access SMB servers using UNC paths, by
<code>\\server\share</code>. This doesn't apply to non-Windows OSes,
such as Linux and macOS.</p>
<h2 id="configuration-47">Configuration</h2>
<p>Here is an example of making a SMB configuration.</p>
<p>First run</p>
<pre><code>rclone config</code></pre>

<h1 id="storj-1">Storj</h1>
<p><a href="https://storj.io">Storj</a> is redefining the cloud to
support the future of data—sustainably and economically. Storj leverages
the vast global supply of underutilized resources to deliver better
security, durability, and performance services. Experience up to 90%
lower costs and carbon reduction with Storj.</p>
<p>Storj is an encrypted, secure, and cost-effective object storage
service that enables you to store, back up, and archive large amounts of
data in a decentralized manner.</p>
<h2 id="backend-options">Backend options</h2>
<p>Storj can be used both with this native backend and with the <a
href="https://rclone.org/s3/#storj">s3 backend using the Storj S3
compatible gateway</a> (shared or private).</p>
<p>Use this backend to take advantage of client-side encryption as well
as to achieve the best possible download performance. Uploads will be
erasure-coded locally, thus a 1gb upload will result in 2.68gb of data
being uploaded to storage nodes across the network.</p>
<p>Use the s3 backend and one of the S3 compatible Hosted Gateways to
increase upload performance and reduce the load on your systems and
network. Uploads will be encrypted and erasure-coded server-side, thus a
1GB upload will result in only in 1GB of data being uploaded to storage
nodes across the network.</p>
<p>Side by side comparison with more details:</p>
<ul>
<li>Characteristics:
<ul>
<li><em>Storj backend</em>: Uses native RPC protocol, connects directly
to the storage nodes which hosts the data. Requires more CPU resource of
encoding/decoding and has network amplification (especially during the
upload), uses lots of TCP connections</li>
<li><em>S3 backend</em>: Uses S3 compatible HTTP Rest API via the shared
gateways. There is no network amplification, but performance depends on
the shared gateways and the secret encryption key is shared with the
gateway.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Typical usage:
<ul>
<li><em>Storj backend</em>: Server environments and desktops with enough
resources, internet speed and connectivity - and applications where
storjs client-side encryption is required.</li>
<li><em>S3 backend</em>: Desktops and similar with limited resources,
internet speed or connectivity.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Security:
<ul>
<li><em>Storj backend</em>: <strong>strong</strong>. Private encryption
key doesn't need to leave the local computer.</li>
<li><em>S3 backend</em>: <strong>weaker</strong>. Private encryption key
is <a
href="https://docs.storj.io/dcs/api-reference/s3-compatible-gateway#security-and-encryption">shared
with</a> the authentication service of the hosted gateway, where it's
stored encrypted. It can be stronger when combining with the rclone <a
href="/crypt">crypt</a> backend.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Bandwidth usage (upload):
<ul>
<li><em>Storj backend</em>: <strong>higher</strong>. As data is erasure
coded on the client side both the original data and the parities should
be uploaded. About ~2.7 times more data is required to be uploaded.
Client may start to upload with even higher number of nodes (~3.7 times
more) and abandon/stop the slow uploads.</li>
<li><em>S3 backend</em>: <strong>normal</strong>. Only the raw data is
uploaded, erasure coding happens on the gateway.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Bandwidth usage (download)
<ul>
<li><em>Storj backend</em>: <strong>almost normal</strong>. Only the
minimal number of data is required, but to avoid very slow data
providers a few more sources are used and the slowest are ignored (max
1.2x overhead).</li>
<li><em>S3 backend</em>: <strong>normal</strong>. Only the raw data is
downloaded, erasure coding happens on the shared gateway.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>CPU usage:
<ul>
<li><em>Storj backend</em>: <strong>higher</strong>, but more
predictable. Erasure code and encryption/decryption happens locally
which requires significant CPU usage.</li>
<li><em>S3 backend</em>: <strong>less</strong>. Erasure code and
encryption/decryption happens on shared s3 gateways (and as is, it
depends on the current load on the gateways)</li>
</ul></li>
<li>TCP connection usage:
<ul>
<li><em>Storj backend</em>: <strong>high</strong>. A direct connection
is required to each of the Storj nodes resulting in 110 connections on
upload and 35 on download per 64 MB segment. Not all the connections are
actively used (slow ones are pruned), but they are all opened. <a
href="https://rclone.org/storj/#known-issues">Adjusting the max open
file limit</a> may be required.</li>
<li><em>S3 backend</em>: <strong>normal</strong>. Only one connection
per download/upload thread is required to the shared gateway.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Overall performance:
<ul>
<li><em>Storj backend</em>: with enough resources (CPU and bandwidth)
<em>storj</em> backend can provide even 2x better performance. Data is
directly downloaded to / uploaded from to the client instead of the
gateway.</li>
<li><em>S3 backend</em>: Can be faster on edge devices where CPU and
network bandwidth is limited as the shared S3 compatible gateways take
care about the encrypting/decryption and erasure coding and no
download/upload amplification.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Decentralization:
<ul>
<li><em>Storj backend</em>: <strong>high</strong>. Data is downloaded
directly from the distributed cloud of storage providers.</li>
<li><em>S3 backend</em>: <strong>low</strong>. Requires a running S3
gateway (either self-hosted or Storj-hosted).</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Limitations:
<ul>
<li><em>Storj backend</em>: <code>rclone checksum</code> is not possible
without download, as checksum metadata is not calculated during
upload</li>
<li><em>S3 backend</em>: secret encryption key is shared with the
gateway</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>

<p>Use the <code>purge</code> command to delete a non-empty bucket with
all its content.</p>
<pre><code>rclone purge remote:bucket</code></pre>
<h3 id="upload-objects">Upload objects</h3>
<p>Use the <code>copy</code> command to upload an object.</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy --progress /home/local/directory/file.ext remote:bucket/path/to/dir/</code></pre>
<p>The <code>--progress</code> flag is for displaying progress
information. Remove it if you don't need this information.</p>
<p>Use a folder in the local path to upload all its objects.</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy --progress /home/local/directory/ remote:bucket/path/to/dir/</code></pre>
<p>Only modified files will be copied.</p>
<h3 id="list-objects">List objects</h3>
<p>Use the <code>ls</code> command to list recursively all objects in a
bucket.</p>
<pre><code>rclone ls remote:bucket</code></pre>
<p>Add the folder to the remote path to list recursively all objects in
this folder.</p>
<pre><code>rclone ls remote:bucket/path/to/dir/</code></pre>

folder.</p>
<pre><code>rclone delete remote:bucket/path/to/dir/</code></pre>
<h3 id="print-the-total-size-of-objects">Print the total size of
objects</h3>
<p>Use the <code>size</code> command to print the total size of objects
in a bucket or a folder.</p>
<pre><code>rclone size remote:bucket/path/to/dir/</code></pre>
<h3 id="sync-two-locations">Sync two Locations</h3>
<p>Use the <code>sync</code> command to sync the source to the
destination, changing the destination only, deleting any excess
files.</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync --interactive --progress /home/local/directory/ remote:bucket/path/to/dir/</code></pre>
<p>The <code>--progress</code> flag is for displaying progress
information. Remove it if you don't need this information.</p>
<p>Since this can cause data loss, test first with the
<code>--dry-run</code> flag to see exactly what would be copied and
deleted.</p>
<p>The sync can be done also from Storj to the local file system.</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync --interactive --progress remote:bucket/path/to/dir/ /home/local/directory/</code></pre>
<p>Or between two Storj buckets.</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync --interactive --progress remote-us:bucket/path/to/dir/ remote-europe:bucket/path/to/dir/</code></pre>
<p>Or even between another cloud storage and Storj.</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync --interactive --progress s3:bucket/path/to/dir/ storj:bucket/path/to/dir/</code></pre>
<h2 id="limitations-37">Limitations</h2>
<p><code>rclone about</code> is not supported by the rclone Storj
backend. Backends without this capability cannot determine free space
for an rclone mount or use policy <code>mfs</code> (most free space) as
a member of an rclone union remote.</p>
<p>See <a href="https://rclone.org/overview/#optional-features">List of
backends that do not support rclone about</a> and <a
href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_about/">rclone about</a></p>
<h2 id="known-issues-1">Known issues</h2>
<p>If you get errors like <code>too many open files</code> this usually
happens when the default <code>ulimit</code> for system max open files
is exceeded. Native Storj protocol opens a large number of TCP
connections (each of which is counted as an open file). For a single
upload stream you can expect 110 TCP connections to be opened. For a
single download stream you can expect 35. This batch of connections will
be opened for every 64 MiB segment and you should also expect TCP
connections to be reused. If you do many transfers you eventually open a
connection to most storage nodes (thousands of nodes).</p>
<p>To fix these, please raise your system limits. You can do this
issuing a <code>ulimit -n 65536</code> just before you run rclone. To
change the limits more permanently you can add this to your shell
startup script, e.g. <code>$HOME/.bashrc</code>, or change the
system-wide configuration, usually <code>/etc/sysctl.conf</code> and/or
<code>/etc/security/limits.conf</code>, but please refer to your
operating system manual.</p>
<h1 id="sugarsync">SugarSync</h1>

<p>The initial setup for Uloz.to involves filling in the user
credentials. <code>rclone config</code> walks you through it.</p>
<h2 id="configuration-50">Configuration</h2>
<p>Here is an example of how to make a remote called

<p>Once configured you can then use <code>rclone</code> like this,</p>
<p>List folders in root level folder:</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsd remote:</code></pre>
<p>List all the files in your root folder:</p>
<pre><code>rclone ls remote:</code></pre>
<p>To copy a local folder to a Uloz.to folder called backup:</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy /home/source remote:backup</code></pre>
<h3 id="user-credentials">User credentials</h3>
<p>The only reliable method is to authenticate the user using username
and password. Uloz.to offers an API key as well, but it's reserved for
the use of Uloz.to's in-house application and using it in different
circumstances is unreliable.</p>
<h3 id="modification-times-and-hashes-27">Modification times and
hashes</h3>
<p>Uloz.to doesn't allow the user to set a custom modification time, or
retrieve the hashes after upload. As a result, the integration uses a
free form field the API provides to encode client-provided timestamps
and hashes. Timestamps are stored with microsecond precision.</p>
<p>A server calculated MD5 hash of the file is verified upon upload.
Afterwards, the backend only serves the client-side calculated hashes.
Hashes can also be retrieved upon creating a file download link, but
it's impractical for <code>list</code>-like use cases.</p>
<h3 id="restricted-filename-characters-31">Restricted filename

can't be used in JSON strings.</p>
<h3 id="transfers-5">Transfers</h3>
<p>All files are currently uploaded using a single HTTP request, so for
uploading large files a stable connection is necessary. Rclone will
upload up to <code>--transfers</code> chunks at the same time (shared
among all uploads).</p>
<h3 id="deleting-files-8">Deleting files</h3>
<p>By default, files are moved to the recycle bin whereas folders are
deleted immediately. Trashed files are permanently deleted after 30 days
in the recycle bin.</p>
<p>Emptying the trash is currently not implemented in rclone.</p>
<h3 id="root-folder-id-5">Root folder ID</h3>
<p>You can set the <code>root_folder_slug</code> for rclone. This is the
folder (identified by its <code>Folder slug</code>) that rclone
considers to be the root of your Uloz.to drive.</p>
<p>Normally you will leave this blank and rclone will determine the
correct root to use itself. However you can set this to restrict rclone
to a specific folder hierarchy.</p>
<p>In order to do this you will have to find the
<code>Folder slug</code> of the folder you wish to use as root. This
will be the last segment of the URL when you open the relevant folder in
the Uloz.to web interface.</p>
<p>For example, for exploring a folder with URL
<code>https://uloz.to/fm/my-files/foobar</code>, <code>foobar</code>
should be used as the root slug.</p>
<p><code>root_folder_slug</code> can be used alongside a specific path
in the remote path. For example, if your remote's
<code>root_folder_slug</code> corresponds to <code>/foo/bar</code>,
<code>remote:baz/qux</code> will refer to
<code>ABSOLUTE_ULOZTO_ROOT/foo/bar/baz/qux</code>.</p>

<p>Uloz.to file names can't have the <code>\</code> character in. rclone
maps this to and from an identical looking unicode equivalent
<code>\</code> (U+FF3C Fullwidth Reverse Solidus).</p>
<p>Uloz.to only supports filenames up to 255 characters in length.</p>
<p>Uloz.to rate limits access to the API, but exact details are
undisclosed. Practical testing reveals that hitting the rate limit
during normal use is very rare, although not impossible with higher
number of concurrently uploaded files.</p>
<p><code>rclone about</code> is not supported by the Uloz.to backend.
Although there's an endpoint to retrieve the information for the UI,

<h1 id="union">Union</h1>
<p>The <code>union</code> backend joins several remotes together to make
a single unified view of them.</p>
<p>During the initial setup with <code>rclone config</code> you will
specify the upstream remotes as a space separated list. The upstream
remotes can either be a local paths or other remotes.</p>
<p>The attributes <code>:ro</code>, <code>:nc</code> and
<code>:writeback</code> can be attached to the end of the remote to tag
the remote as <strong>read only</strong>, <strong>no create</strong> or
<strong>writeback</strong>, e.g.
<code>remote:directory/subdirectory:ro</code> or
<code>remote:directory/subdirectory:nc</code>.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>:ro</code> means files will only be read from here and never
written</li>
<li><code>:nc</code> means new files or directories won't be created

<li><code>:writeback</code> means files found in different remotes will
be written back here. See the <a href="#writeback">writeback section</a>

</ul>
<p>Subfolders can be used in upstream remotes. Assume a union remote
named <code>backup</code> with the remotes
<code>mydrive:private/backup</code>. Invoking
<code>rclone mkdir backup:desktop</code> is exactly the same as invoking
<code>rclone mkdir mydrive:private/backup/desktop</code>.</p>

<h3 id="behavior-policies">Behavior / Policies</h3>
<p>The behavior of union backend is inspired by <a
href="https://github.com/trapexit/mergerfs">trapexit/mergerfs</a>. All
functions are grouped into 3 categories: <strong>action</strong>,
<strong>create</strong> and <strong>search</strong>. These functions and
categories can be assigned a policy which dictates what file or
directory is chosen when performing that behavior. Any policy can be
assigned to a function or category though some may not be very useful in
practice. For instance: <strong>rand</strong> (random) may be useful for
file creation (create) but could lead to very odd behavior if used for
<code>delete</code> if there were more than one copy of the file.</p>

<p>All policies which start with <code>ep</code> (<strong>epff</strong>,
<strong>eplfs</strong>, <strong>eplus</strong>, <strong>epmfs</strong>,
<strong>eprand</strong>) are <code>path preserving</code>.
<code>ep</code> stands for <code>existing path</code>.</p>
<p>A path preserving policy will only consider upstreams where the
relative path being accessed already exists.</p>
<p>When using non-path preserving policies paths will be created in
target upstreams as necessary.</p>
<h3 id="quota-relevant-policies">Quota Relevant Policies</h3>

<p>To check if your upstream supports the field, run

<h3 id="filters-2">Filters</h3>
<p>Policies basically search upstream remotes and create a list of files

filtering and sorting. The policy type defines the sorting but filtering
is mostly uniform as described below.</p>
<ul>
<li>No <strong>search</strong> policies filter.</li>
<li>All <strong>action</strong> policies will filter out remotes which
are tagged as <strong>read-only</strong>.</li>
<li>All <strong>create</strong> policies will filter out remotes which
are tagged <strong>read-only</strong> or
<strong>no-create</strong>.</li>
</ul>
<p>If all remotes are filtered an error will be returned.</p>

<h3 id="writeback">Writeback</h3>
<p>The tag <code>:writeback</code> on an upstream remote can be used to
make a simple cache system like this:</p>
<pre><code>[union]
type = union
action_policy = all
create_policy = all
search_policy = ff
upstreams = /local:writeback remote:dir</code></pre>
<p>When files are opened for read, if the file is in
<code>remote:dir</code> but not <code>/local</code> then rclone will
copy the file entirely into <code>/local</code> before returning a
reference to the file in <code>/local</code>. The copy will be done with
the equivalent of <code>rclone copy</code> so will use
<code>--multi-thread-streams</code> if configured. Any copies will be
logged with an INFO log.</p>
<p>When files are written, they will be written to both
<code>remote:dir</code> and <code>/local</code>.</p>
<p>As many remotes as desired can be added to <code>upstreams</code> but
there should only be one <code>:writeback</code> tag.</p>
<p>Rclone does not manage the <code>:writeback</code> remote in any way
other than writing files back to it. So if you need to expire old files
or manage the size then you will have to do this yourself.</p>

<h2 id="provider-notes">Provider notes</h2>
<p>See below for notes on specific providers.</p>
<h3 id="fastmail-files">Fastmail Files</h3>
<p>Use <code>https://webdav.fastmail.com/</code> or a subdirectory as
the URL, and your Fastmail email <code>username@domain.tld</code> as the
username. Follow <a
href="https://www.fastmail.help/hc/en-us/articles/360058752854-App-passwords">this
documentation</a> to create an app password with access to
<code>Files (WebDAV)</code> and use this as the password.</p>
<p>Fastmail supports modified times using the <code>X-OC-Mtime</code>
header.</p>
<h3 id="owncloud">Owncloud</h3>
<p>Click on the settings cog in the bottom right of the page and this
will show the WebDAV URL that rclone needs in the config step. It will
look something like
<code>https://example.com/remote.php/webdav/</code>.</p>
<p>Owncloud supports modified times using the <code>X-OC-Mtime</code>
header.</p>
<h3 id="nextcloud">Nextcloud</h3>
<p>This is configured in an identical way to Owncloud. Note that
Nextcloud initially did not support streaming of files
(<code>rcat</code>) whereas Owncloud did, but <a
href="https://github.com/nextcloud/nextcloud-snap/issues/365">this</a>
seems to be fixed as of 2020-11-27 (tested with rclone v1.53.1 and
Nextcloud Server v19).</p>
<h3 id="sharepoint-online">Sharepoint Online</h3>
<p>Rclone can be used with Sharepoint provided by OneDrive for Business
or Office365 Education Accounts. This feature is only needed for a few
of these Accounts, mostly Office365 Education ones. These accounts are
sometimes not verified by the domain owner <a
href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/1975">github#1975</a></p>
<p>This means that these accounts can't be added using the official API
(other Accounts should work with the "onedrive" option). However, it is
possible to access them using webdav.</p>
<p>To use a sharepoint remote with rclone, add it like this: First, you
need to get your remote's URL:</p>
<ul>
<li>Go <a href="https://onedrive.live.com/about/en-us/signin/">here</a>
to open your OneDrive or to sign in</li>
<li>Now take a look at your address bar, the URL should look like this:
<code>https://[YOUR-DOMAIN]-my.sharepoint.com/personal/[YOUR-EMAIL]/_layouts/15/onedrive.aspx</code></li>
</ul>
<p>You'll only need this URL up to the email address. After that, you'll
most likely want to add "/Documents". That subdirectory contains the
actual data stored on your OneDrive.</p>
<p>Add the remote to rclone like this: Configure the <code>url</code> as
<code>https://[YOUR-DOMAIN]-my.sharepoint.com/personal/[YOUR-EMAIL]/Documents</code>
and use your normal account email and password for <code>user</code> and
<code>pass</code>. If you have 2FA enabled, you have to generate an app
password. Set the <code>vendor</code> to <code>sharepoint</code>.</p>
<p>Your config file should look like this:</p>
<pre><code>[sharepoint]
type = webdav
url = https://[YOUR-DOMAIN]-my.sharepoint.com/personal/[YOUR-EMAIL]/Documents
vendor = sharepoint
user = YourEmailAddress
pass = encryptedpassword</code></pre>
<h3 id="sharepoint-with-ntlm-authentication">Sharepoint with NTLM
Authentication</h3>
<p>Use this option in case your (hosted) Sharepoint is not tied to
OneDrive accounts and uses NTLM authentication.</p>
<p>To get the <code>url</code> configuration, similarly to the above,
first navigate to the desired directory in your browser to get the URL,
then strip everything after the name of the opened directory.</p>
<p>Example: If the URL is:
https://example.sharepoint.com/sites/12345/Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx</p>
<p>The configuration to use would be:
https://example.sharepoint.com/sites/12345/Documents</p>
<p>Set the <code>vendor</code> to <code>sharepoint-ntlm</code>.</p>
<p>NTLM uses domain and user name combination for authentication, set
<code>user</code> to <code>DOMAIN\username</code>.</p>
<p>Your config file should look like this:</p>
<pre><code>[sharepoint]
type = webdav
url = https://[YOUR-DOMAIN]/some-path-to/Documents
vendor = sharepoint-ntlm
user = DOMAIN\user
pass = encryptedpassword</code></pre>
<h4 id="required-flags-for-sharepoint">Required Flags for
SharePoint</h4>
<p>As SharePoint does some special things with uploaded documents, you
won't be able to use the documents size or the documents hash to compare
if a file has been changed since the upload / which file is newer.</p>
<p>For Rclone calls copying files (especially Office files such as
.docx, .xlsx, etc.) from/to SharePoint (like copy, sync, etc.), you
should append these flags to ensure Rclone uses the "Last Modified"
datetime property to compare your documents:</p>
<pre><code>--ignore-size --ignore-checksum --update</code></pre>
<h2 id="rclone-1">Rclone</h2>
<p>Use this option if you are hosting remotes over WebDAV provided by
rclone. Read <a href="commands/rclone_serve_webdav/">rclone serve
webdav</a> for more details.</p>
<p>rclone serve supports modified times using the
<code>X-OC-Mtime</code> header.</p>
<h3 id="dcache">dCache</h3>
<p>dCache is a storage system that supports many protocols and
authentication/authorisation schemes. For WebDAV clients, it allows
users to authenticate with username and password (BASIC), X.509,
Kerberos, and various bearer tokens, including <a
href="https://www.dcache.org/manuals/workshop-2017-05-29-Umea/000-Final/anupam_macaroons_v02.pdf">Macaroons</a>
and <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenID_Connect">OpenID-Connect</a>
access tokens.</p>
<p>Configure as normal using the <code>other</code> type. Don't enter a
username or password, instead enter your Macaroon as the
<code>bearer_token</code>.</p>
<p>The config will end up looking something like this.</p>
<pre><code>[dcache]
type = webdav
url = https://dcache...
vendor = other
user =
pass =
bearer_token = your-macaroon</code></pre>
<p>There is a <a
href="https://github.com/sara-nl/GridScripts/blob/master/get-macaroon">script</a>
that obtains a Macaroon from a dCache WebDAV endpoint, and creates an
rclone config file.</p>
<p>Macaroons may also be obtained from the dCacheView
web-browser/JavaScript client that comes with dCache.</p>
<h3 id="openid-connect">OpenID-Connect</h3>
<p>dCache also supports authenticating with OpenID-Connect access
tokens. OpenID-Connect is a protocol (based on OAuth 2.0) that allows
services to identify users who have authenticated with some central
service.</p>
<p>Support for OpenID-Connect in rclone is currently achieved using
another software package called <a
href="https://github.com/indigo-dc/oidc-agent">oidc-agent</a>. This is a
command-line tool that facilitates obtaining an access token. Once
installed and configured, an access token is obtained by running the
<code>oidc-token</code> command. The following example shows a
(shortened) access token obtained from the <em>XDC</em> OIDC
Provider.</p>
<pre><code>paul@celebrimbor:~$ oidc-token XDC
eyJraWQ[...]QFXDt0
paul@celebrimbor:~$</code></pre>
<p><strong>Note</strong> Before the <code>oidc-token</code> command will
work, the refresh token must be loaded into the oidc agent. This is done
with the <code>oidc-add</code> command (e.g.,
<code>oidc-add XDC</code>). This is typically done once per login
session. Full details on this and how to register oidc-agent with your
OIDC Provider are provided in the <a
href="https://indigo-dc.gitbooks.io/oidc-agent/">oidc-agent
documentation</a>.</p>
<p>The rclone <code>bearer_token_command</code> configuration option is
used to fetch the access token from oidc-agent.</p>
<p>Configure as a normal WebDAV endpoint, using the 'other' vendor,
leaving the username and password empty. When prompted, choose to edit
the advanced config and enter the command to get a bearer token (e.g.,
<code>oidc-agent XDC</code>).</p>
<p>The following example config shows a WebDAV endpoint that uses
oidc-agent to supply an access token from the <em>XDC</em> OIDC
Provider.</p>
<pre><code>[dcache]
type = webdav
url = https://dcache.example.org/
vendor = other
bearer_token_command = oidc-token XDC</code></pre>

<p>Note that rclone runs a webserver on your local machine to collect
the token as returned from Yandex Disk. This only runs from the moment
it opens your browser to the moment you get back the verification code.
This is on <code>http://127.0.0.1:53682/</code> and this it may require
you to unblock it temporarily if you are running a host firewall.</p>
<p>Once configured you can then use <code>rclone</code> like this,</p>

<h2 id="limitations-41">Limitations</h2>
<p>When uploading very large files (bigger than about 5 GiB) you will
need to increase the <code>--timeout</code> parameter. This is because
Yandex pauses (perhaps to calculate the MD5SUM for the entire file)
before returning confirmation that the file has been uploaded. The
default handling of timeouts in rclone is to assume a 5 minute pause is
an error and close the connection - you'll see
<code>net/http: timeout awaiting response headers</code> errors in the
logs if this is happening. Setting the timeout to twice the max size of
file in GiB should be enough, so if you want to upload a 30 GiB file set
a timeout of <code>2 * 30 = 60m</code>, that is
<code>--timeout 60m</code>.</p>
<p>Having a Yandex Mail account is mandatory to use the Yandex.Disk
subscription. Token generation will work without a mail account, but
Rclone won't be able to complete any actions.</p>

<h2 id="setting-up-your-own-client_id">Setting up your own
client_id</h2>
<p>For Zoho we advise you to set up your own client_id. To do so you
have to complete the following steps.</p>
<ol type="1">
<li><p>Log in to the <a href="https://api-console.zoho.com">Zoho API
Console</a></p></li>
<li><p>Create a new client of type "Server-based Application". The name
and website don't matter, but you must add the redirect URL
<code>http://localhost:53682/</code>.</p></li>
<li><p>Once the client is created, you can go to the settings tab and
enable it in other regions.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>The client id and client secret can now be used with rclone.</p>
<h1 id="local-filesystem">Local Filesystem</h1>
<p>Local paths are specified as normal filesystem paths, e.g.
<code>/path/to/wherever</code>, so</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync --interactive /home/source /tmp/destination</code></pre>
<p>Will sync <code>/home/source</code> to
<code>/tmp/destination</code>.</p>
<h2 id="configuration-56">Configuration</h2>
<p>For consistencies sake one can also configure a remote of type
<code>local</code> in the config file, and access the local filesystem
using rclone remote paths, e.g. <code>remote:path/to/wherever</code>,
but it is probably easier not to.</p>
<h3 id="modification-times-9">Modification times</h3>
<p>Rclone reads and writes the modification times using an accuracy
determined by the OS. Typically this is 1ns on Linux, 10 ns on Windows
and 1 Second on OS X.</p>
<h3 id="filenames">Filenames</h3>
<p>Filenames should be encoded in UTF-8 on disk. This is the normal case
for Windows and OS X.</p>
<p>There is a bit more uncertainty in the Linux world, but new
distributions will have UTF-8 encoded files names. If you are using an
old Linux filesystem with non UTF-8 file names (e.g. latin1) then you
can use the <code>convmv</code> tool to convert the filesystem to UTF-8.
This tool is available in most distributions' package managers.</p>
<p>If an invalid (non-UTF8) filename is read, the invalid characters
will be replaced with a quoted representation of the invalid bytes. The
name <code>gro\xdf</code> will be transferred as <code>gro‛DF</code>.
<code>rclone</code> will emit a debug message in this case (use
<code>-v</code> to see), e.g.</p>
<pre><code>Local file system at .: Replacing invalid UTF-8 characters in &quot;gro\xdf&quot;</code></pre>
<h4 id="restricted-characters-1">Restricted characters</h4>
<p>With the local backend, restrictions on the characters that are
usable in file or directory names depend on the operating system. To
check what rclone will replace by default on your system, run
<code>rclone help flags local-encoding</code>.</p>
<p>On non Windows platforms the following characters are replaced when
handling file names.</p>
<table>

<h3 id="paths-on-windows">Paths on Windows</h3>
<p>On Windows there are many ways of specifying a path to a file system
resource. Local paths can be absolute, like
<code>C:\path\to\wherever</code>, or relative, like
<code>..\wherever</code>. Network paths in UNC format,
<code>\\server\share</code>, are also supported. Path separator can be
either <code>\</code> (as in <code>C:\path\to\wherever</code>) or
<code>/</code> (as in <code>C:/path/to/wherever</code>). Length of these
paths are limited to 259 characters for files and 247 characters for
directories, but there is an alternative extended-length path format
increasing the limit to (approximately) 32,767 characters. This format
requires absolute paths and the use of prefix <code>\\?\</code>, e.g.
<code>\\?\D:\some\very\long\path</code>. For convenience rclone will
automatically convert regular paths into the corresponding
extended-length paths, so in most cases you do not have to worry about
this (read more <a href="#long-paths">below</a>). Using the same prefix
<code>\\?\</code> it is also possible to specify path to volumes
identified by their GUID, e.g.
<code>\\?\Volume{b75e2c83-0000-0000-0000-602f00000000}\some\path</code>.</p>
<h4 id="long-paths">Long paths</h4>
<p>Rclone handles long paths automatically, by converting all paths to
<a
href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation">extended-length
path format</a>, which allows paths up to 32,767 characters.</p>
<p>This conversion will ensure paths are absolute and prefix them with
the <code>\\?\</code>. This is why you will see that your paths, for
instance <code>.\files</code> is shown as path <code>\\?\C:\files</code>
in the output, and <code>\\server\share</code> as
<code>\\?\UNC\server\share</code>.</p>
<p>However, in rare cases this may cause problems with buggy file system
drivers like <a
href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/261">EncFS</a>. To disable
UNC conversion globally, add this to your <code>.rclone.conf</code>
file:</p>
<pre><code>[local]
nounc = true</code></pre>
<p>If you want to selectively disable UNC, you can add it to a separate
entry like this:</p>
<pre><code>[nounc]
type = local
nounc = true</code></pre>
<p>And use rclone like this:</p>
<p><code>rclone copy c:\src nounc:z:\dst</code></p>
<p>This will use UNC paths on <code>c:\src</code> but not on
<code>z:\dst</code>. Of course this will cause problems if the absolute
path length of a file exceeds 259 characters on z, so only use this
option if you have to.</p>
<h3 id="symlinks-junction-points">Symlinks / Junction points</h3>
<p>Normally rclone will ignore symlinks or junction points (which behave
like symlinks under Windows).</p>
<p>If you supply <code>--copy-links</code> or <code>-L</code> then
rclone will follow the symlink and copy the pointed to file or
directory. Note that this flag is incompatible with <code>--links</code>
/ <code>-l</code>.</p>
<p>This flag applies to all commands.</p>
<p>For example, supposing you have a directory structure like this</p>
<pre><code>$ tree /tmp/a
/tmp/a
├── b -&gt; ../b
├── expected -&gt; ../expected
├── one
└── two
└── three</code></pre>
<p>Then you can see the difference with and without the flag like
this</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone ls /tmp/a
6 one
6 two/three</code></pre>
<p>and</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone -L ls /tmp/a
4174 expected
6 one
6 two/three
6 b/two
6 b/one</code></pre>
<h4 id="links--l">--links, -l</h4>
<p>Normally rclone will ignore symlinks or junction points (which behave
like symlinks under Windows).</p>
<p>If you supply this flag then rclone will copy symbolic links from the
local storage, and store them as text files, with a '.rclonelink' suffix
in the remote storage.</p>
<p>The text file will contain the target of the symbolic link (see
example).</p>
<p>This flag applies to all commands.</p>
<p>For example, supposing you have a directory structure like this</p>
<pre><code>$ tree /tmp/a
/tmp/a
├── file1 -&gt; ./file4
└── file2 -&gt; /home/user/file3</code></pre>
<p>Copying the entire directory with '-l'</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone copy -l /tmp/a/ remote:/tmp/a/</code></pre>
<p>The remote files are created with a '.rclonelink' suffix</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone ls remote:/tmp/a
5 file1.rclonelink
14 file2.rclonelink</code></pre>
<p>The remote files will contain the target of the symbolic links</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone cat remote:/tmp/a/file1.rclonelink
./file4
$ rclone cat remote:/tmp/a/file2.rclonelink
/home/user/file3</code></pre>
<p>Copying them back with '-l'</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone copy -l remote:/tmp/a/ /tmp/b/
$ tree /tmp/b
/tmp/b
├── file1 -&gt; ./file4
└── file2 -&gt; /home/user/file3</code></pre>
<p>However, if copied back without '-l'</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone copyto remote:/tmp/a/ /tmp/b/
$ tree /tmp/b
/tmp/b
├── file1.rclonelink
└── file2.rclonelink</code></pre>
<p>If you want to copy a single file with <code>-l</code> then you must
use the <code>.rclonelink</code> suffix.</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone copy -l remote:/tmp/a/file1.rclonelink /tmp/c
$ tree /tmp/c
/tmp/c
└── file1 -&gt; ./file4</code></pre>
<p>Note that this flag is incompatible with <code>-copy-links</code> /
<code>-L</code>.</p>
<h3 id="restricting-filesystems-with---one-file-system">Restricting
filesystems with --one-file-system</h3>
<p>Normally rclone will recurse through filesystems as mounted.</p>
<p>However if you set <code>--one-file-system</code> or <code>-x</code>
this tells rclone to stay in the filesystem specified by the root and
not to recurse into different file systems.</p>
<p>For example if you have a directory hierarchy like this</p>
<pre><code>root
├── disk1 - disk1 mounted on the root
│   └── file3 - stored on disk1
├── disk2 - disk2 mounted on the root
│   └── file4 - stored on disk12
├── file1 - stored on the root disk
└── file2 - stored on the root disk</code></pre>
<p>Using <code>rclone --one-file-system copy root remote:</code> will
only copy <code>file1</code> and <code>file2</code>. Eg</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone -q --one-file-system ls root
0 file1
0 file2</code></pre>
<pre><code>$ rclone -q ls root
0 disk1/file3
0 disk2/file4
0 file1
0 file2</code></pre>
<p><strong>NB</strong> Rclone (like most unix tools such as
<code>du</code>, <code>rsync</code> and <code>tar</code>) treats a bind
mount to the same device as being on the same filesystem.</p>
<p><strong>NB</strong> This flag is only available on Unix based
systems. On systems where it isn't supported (e.g. Windows) it will be
ignored.</p>
<h3 id="advanced-options-60">Advanced options</h3>
<p>Here are the Advanced options specific to local (Local Disk).</p>
<h4 id="local-nounc">--local-nounc</h4>
<p>Disable UNC (long path names) conversion on Windows.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: nounc</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_NOUNC</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
<li>Examples:
<ul>
<li>"true"
<ul>
<li>Disables long file names.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<h4 id="copy-links--l">--copy-links / -L</h4>
<p>Follow symlinks and copy the pointed to item.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: copy_links</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_COPY_LINKS</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="links--l-1">--links / -l</h4>
<p>Translate symlinks to/from regular files with a '.rclonelink'
extension.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: links</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_LINKS</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="skip-links">--skip-links</h4>
<p>Don't warn about skipped symlinks.</p>
<p>This flag disables warning messages on skipped symlinks or junction
points, as you explicitly acknowledge that they should be skipped.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: skip_links</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_SKIP_LINKS</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="local-zero-size-links">--local-zero-size-links</h4>
<p>Assume the Stat size of links is zero (and read them instead)
(deprecated).</p>
<p>Rclone used to use the Stat size of links as the link size, but this
fails in quite a few places:</p>
<ul>
<li>Windows</li>
<li>On some virtual filesystems (such ash LucidLink)</li>
<li>Android</li>
</ul>
<p>So rclone now always reads the link.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: zero_size_links</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_ZERO_SIZE_LINKS</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="local-unicode-normalization">--local-unicode-normalization</h4>
<p>Apply unicode NFC normalization to paths and filenames.</p>
<p>This flag can be used to normalize file names into unicode NFC form
that are read from the local filesystem.</p>
<p>Rclone does not normally touch the encoding of file names it reads
from the file system.</p>
<p>This can be useful when using macOS as it normally provides
decomposed (NFD) unicode which in some language (eg Korean) doesn't
display properly on some OSes.</p>
<p>Note that rclone compares filenames with unicode normalization in the
sync routine so this flag shouldn't normally be used.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: unicode_normalization</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_UNICODE_NORMALIZATION</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="local-no-check-updated">--local-no-check-updated</h4>
<p>Don't check to see if the files change during upload.</p>
<p>Normally rclone checks the size and modification time of files as
they are being uploaded and aborts with a message which starts "can't
copy - source file is being updated" if the file changes during
upload.</p>
<p>However on some file systems this modification time check may fail
(e.g. <a href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/2206">Glusterfs
#2206</a>) so this check can be disabled with this flag.</p>
<p>If this flag is set, rclone will use its best efforts to transfer a
file which is being updated. If the file is only having things appended
to it (e.g. a log) then rclone will transfer the log file with the size
it had the first time rclone saw it.</p>
<p>If the file is being modified throughout (not just appended to) then
the transfer may fail with a hash check failure.</p>
<p>In detail, once the file has had stat() called on it for the first
time we:</p>
<ul>
<li>Only transfer the size that stat gave</li>
<li>Only checksum the size that stat gave</li>
<li>Don't update the stat info for the file</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>NB</strong> do not use this flag on a Windows Volume Shadow
(VSS). For some unknown reason, files in a VSS sometimes show different
sizes from the directory listing (where the initial stat value comes
from on Windows) and when stat is called on them directly. Other copy
tools always use the direct stat value and setting this flag will
disable that.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: no_check_updated</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_NO_CHECK_UPDATED</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="one-file-system--x">--one-file-system / -x</h4>
<p>Don't cross filesystem boundaries (unix/macOS only).</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: one_file_system</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_ONE_FILE_SYSTEM</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="local-case-sensitive">--local-case-sensitive</h4>
<p>Force the filesystem to report itself as case sensitive.</p>
<p>Normally the local backend declares itself as case insensitive on
Windows/macOS and case sensitive for everything else. Use this flag to
override the default choice.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: case_sensitive</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_CASE_SENSITIVE</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="local-case-insensitive">--local-case-insensitive</h4>
<p>Force the filesystem to report itself as case insensitive.</p>
<p>Normally the local backend declares itself as case insensitive on
Windows/macOS and case sensitive for everything else. Use this flag to
override the default choice.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: case_insensitive</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_CASE_INSENSITIVE</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="local-no-clone">--local-no-clone</h4>
<p>Disable reflink cloning for server-side copies.</p>
<p>Normally, for local-to-local transfers, rclone will "clone" the file
when possible, and fall back to "copying" only when cloning is not
supported.</p>
<p>Cloning creates a shallow copy (or "reflink") which initially shares
blocks with the original file. Unlike a "hardlink", the two files are
independent and neither will affect the other if subsequently
modified.</p>
<p>Cloning is usually preferable to copying, as it is much faster and is
deduplicated by default (i.e. having two identical files does not
consume more storage than having just one.) However, for use cases where
data redundancy is preferable, --local-no-clone can be used to disable
cloning and force "deep" copies.</p>
<p>Currently, cloning is only supported when using APFS on macOS
(support for other platforms may be added in the future.)</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: no_clone</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_NO_CLONE</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="local-no-preallocate">--local-no-preallocate</h4>
<p>Disable preallocation of disk space for transferred files.</p>
<p>Preallocation of disk space helps prevent filesystem fragmentation.
However, some virtual filesystem layers (such as Google Drive File
Stream) may incorrectly set the actual file size equal to the
preallocated space, causing checksum and file size checks to fail. Use
this flag to disable preallocation.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: no_preallocate</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_NO_PREALLOCATE</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="local-no-sparse">--local-no-sparse</h4>
<p>Disable sparse files for multi-thread downloads.</p>
<p>On Windows platforms rclone will make sparse files when doing
multi-thread downloads. This avoids long pauses on large files where the
OS zeros the file. However sparse files may be undesirable as they cause
disk fragmentation and can be slow to work with.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: no_sparse</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_NO_SPARSE</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="local-no-set-modtime">--local-no-set-modtime</h4>
<p>Disable setting modtime.</p>
<p>Normally rclone updates modification time of files after they are
done uploading. This can cause permissions issues on Linux platforms
when the user rclone is running as does not own the file uploaded, such
as when copying to a CIFS mount owned by another user. If this option is
enabled, rclone will no longer update the modtime after copying a
file.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: no_set_modtime</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_NO_SET_MODTIME</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="local-time-type">--local-time-type</h4>
<p>Set what kind of time is returned.</p>
<p>Normally rclone does all operations on the mtime or Modification
time.</p>
<p>If you set this flag then rclone will return the Modified time as
whatever you set here. So if you use "rclone lsl --local-time-type
ctime" then you will see ctimes in the listing.</p>
<p>If the OS doesn't support returning the time_type specified then
rclone will silently replace it with the modification time which all
OSes support.</p>
<ul>
<li>mtime is supported by all OSes</li>
<li>atime is supported on all OSes except: plan9, js</li>
<li>btime is only supported on: Windows, macOS, freebsd, netbsd</li>
<li>ctime is supported on all Oses except: Windows, plan9, js</li>
</ul>
<p>Note that setting the time will still set the modified time so this
is only useful for reading.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: time_type</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_TIME_TYPE</li>
<li>Type: mtime|atime|btime|ctime</li>
<li>Default: mtime</li>
<li>Examples:
<ul>
<li>"mtime"
<ul>
<li>The last modification time.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>"atime"
<ul>
<li>The last access time.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>"btime"
<ul>
<li>The creation time.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>"ctime"
<ul>
<li>The last status change time.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<h4 id="local-encoding">--local-encoding</h4>
<p>The encoding for the backend.</p>
<p>See the <a href="https://rclone.org/overview/#encoding">encoding
section in the overview</a> for more info.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: encoding</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_ENCODING</li>
<li>Type: Encoding</li>
<li>Default: Slash,Dot</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="local-description">--local-description</h4>
<p>Description of the remote.</p>
<p>Properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Config: description</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_DESCRIPTION</li>
<li>Type: string</li>
<li>Required: false</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="metadata-16">Metadata</h3>
<p>Depending on which OS is in use the local backend may return only
some of the system metadata. Setting system metadata is supported on all
OSes but setting user metadata is only supported on linux, freebsd,
netbsd, macOS and Solaris. It is <strong>not</strong> supported on
Windows yet (<a href="https://github.com/pkg/xattr/issues/47">see
pkg/attrs#47</a>).</p>
<p>User metadata is stored as extended attributes (which may not be
supported by all file systems) under the "user.*" prefix.</p>
<p>Metadata is supported on files and directories.</p>
<p>Here are the possible system metadata items for the local
backend.</p>

<li>Files will be copied to a temporary name ending in
<code>.partial</code> when copying to
<code>local</code>,<code>ftp</code>,<code>sftp</code> then renamed at
the end of the transfer. (Janne Hellsten, Nick Craig-Wood)
<ul>
<li>This helps with data integrity as we don't delete the existing file
until the new one is complete.</li>
<li>It can be disabled with the <a

set this time to the time rclone started up.</li>

<h1 id="bugs-and-limitations">Bugs and Limitations</h1>
<h2 id="limitations-42">Limitations</h2>
<h3 id="directory-timestamps-arent-preserved-on-some-backends">Directory
timestamps aren't preserved on some backends</h3>
<p>As of <code>v1.66</code>, rclone supports syncing directory modtimes,
if the backend supports it. Some backends do not support it -- see <a
href="https://rclone.org/overview/">overview</a> for a complete list.
Additionally, note that empty directories are not synced by default
(this can be enabled with <code>--create-empty-src-dirs</code>.)</p>
<h3
id="rclone-struggles-with-millions-of-files-in-a-directorybucket">Rclone
struggles with millions of files in a directory/bucket</h3>
<p>Currently rclone loads each directory/bucket entirely into memory
before using it. Since each rclone object takes 0.5k-1k of memory this
can take a very long time and use a large amount of memory.</p>
<p>Millions of files in a directory tends to occur on bucket-based
remotes (e.g. S3 buckets) since those remotes do not segregate
subdirectories within the bucket.</p>
<h3 id="bucket-based-remotes-and-folders">Bucket-based remotes and
folders</h3>
<p>Bucket-based remotes (e.g. S3/GCS/Swift/B2) do not have a concept of
directories. Rclone therefore cannot create directories in them which
means that empty directories on a bucket-based remote will tend to
disappear.</p>
<p>Some software creates empty keys ending in <code>/</code> as
directory markers. Rclone doesn't do this as it potentially creates more
objects and costs more. This ability may be added in the future
(probably via a flag/option).</p>

<h1 id="frequently-asked-questions">Frequently Asked Questions</h1>
<h3 id="do-all-cloud-storage-systems-support-all-rclone-commands">Do all
cloud storage systems support all rclone commands</h3>
<p>Yes they do. All the rclone commands (e.g. <code>sync</code>,
<code>copy</code>, etc.) will work on all the remote storage
systems.</p>
<h3 id="can-i-copy-the-config-from-one-machine-to-another">Can I copy
the config from one machine to another</h3>
<p>Sure! Rclone stores all of its config in a single file. If you want
to find this file, run <code>rclone config file</code> which will tell
you where it is.</p>
<p>See the <a href="https://rclone.org/remote_setup/">remote setup
docs</a> for more info.</p>
<h3
id="how-do-i-configure-rclone-on-a-remote-headless-box-with-no-browser">How
do I configure rclone on a remote / headless box with no browser?</h3>
<p>This has now been documented in its own <a
href="https://rclone.org/remote_setup/">remote setup page</a>.</p>
<h3 id="can-rclone-sync-directly-from-drive-to-s3">Can rclone sync
directly from drive to s3</h3>
<p>Rclone can sync between two remote cloud storage systems just
fine.</p>
<p>Note that it effectively downloads the file and uploads it again, so
the node running rclone would need to have lots of bandwidth.</p>
<p>The syncs would be incremental (on a file by file basis).</p>
<p>e.g.</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync --interactive drive:Folder s3:bucket</code></pre>
<h3 id="using-rclone-from-multiple-locations-at-the-same-time">Using
rclone from multiple locations at the same time</h3>
<p>You can use rclone from multiple places at the same time if you
choose different subdirectory for the output, e.g.</p>
<pre><code>Server A&gt; rclone sync --interactive /tmp/whatever remote:ServerA
Server B&gt; rclone sync --interactive /tmp/whatever remote:ServerB</code></pre>
<p>If you sync to the same directory then you should use rclone copy
otherwise the two instances of rclone may delete each other's files,
e.g.</p>
<pre><code>Server A&gt; rclone copy /tmp/whatever remote:Backup
Server B&gt; rclone copy /tmp/whatever remote:Backup</code></pre>
<p>The file names you upload from Server A and Server B should be
different in this case, otherwise some file systems (e.g. Drive) may
make duplicates.</p>
<h3
id="why-doesnt-rclone-support-partial-transfers-binary-diffs-like-rsync">Why
doesn't rclone support partial transfers / binary diffs like rsync?</h3>
<p>Rclone stores each file you transfer as a native object on the remote
cloud storage system. This means that you can see the files you upload
as expected using alternative access methods (e.g. using the Google
Drive web interface). There is a 1:1 mapping between files on your hard
disk and objects created in the cloud storage system.</p>
<p>Cloud storage systems (at least none I've come across yet) don't
support partially uploading an object. You can't take an existing
object, and change some bytes in the middle of it.</p>
<p>It would be possible to make a sync system which stored binary diffs
like rsync does, instead of whole objects, but that would break the 1:1
mapping of files on your hard disk to objects in the remote cloud
storage system.</p>
<p>All the cloud storage systems support partial downloads of content,
so it would be possible to make partial downloads work. However to make
this work efficiently this would require storing a significant amount of
metadata, which breaks the desired 1:1 mapping of files to objects.</p>
<h3 id="can-rclone-do-bi-directional-sync">Can rclone do bi-directional
sync?</h3>
<p>Yes, since rclone v1.58.0, <a
href="https://rclone.org/bisync/">bidirectional cloud sync</a> is
available.</p>
<h3 id="can-i-use-rclone-with-an-http-proxy">Can I use rclone with an
HTTP proxy?</h3>
<p>Yes. rclone will follow the standard environment variables for
proxies, similar to cURL and other programs.</p>
<p>In general the variables are called <code>http_proxy</code> (for
services reached over <code>http</code>) and <code>https_proxy</code>
(for services reached over <code>https</code>). Most public services
will be using <code>https</code>, but you may wish to set both.</p>
<p>The content of the variable is <code>protocol://server:port</code>.
The protocol value is the one used to talk to the proxy server, itself,
and is commonly either <code>http</code> or <code>socks5</code>.</p>
<p>Slightly annoyingly, there is no <em>standard</em> for the name; some
applications may use <code>http_proxy</code> but another one
<code>HTTP_PROXY</code>. The <code>Go</code> libraries used by
<code>rclone</code> will try both variations, but you may wish to set
all possibilities. So, on Linux, you may end up with code similar to</p>
<pre><code>export http_proxy=http://proxyserver:12345
export https_proxy=$http_proxy
export HTTP_PROXY=$http_proxy
export HTTPS_PROXY=$http_proxy</code></pre>
<p>Note: If the proxy server requires a username and password, then
use</p>
<pre><code>export http_proxy=http://username:password@proxyserver:12345
export https_proxy=$http_proxy
export HTTP_PROXY=$http_proxy
export HTTPS_PROXY=$http_proxy</code></pre>
<p>The <code>NO_PROXY</code> allows you to disable the proxy for
specific hosts. Hosts must be comma separated, and can contain domains
or parts. For instance "foo.com" also matches "bar.foo.com".</p>
<p>e.g.</p>
<pre><code>export no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,my.host.name
export NO_PROXY=$no_proxy</code></pre>
<p>Note that the FTP backend does not support <code>ftp_proxy</code>
yet.</p>
<h3
id="rclone-gives-x509-failed-to-load-system-roots-and-no-roots-provided-error">Rclone
gives x509: failed to load system roots and no roots provided error</h3>
<p>This means that <code>rclone</code> can't find the SSL root
certificates. Likely you are running <code>rclone</code> on a NAS with a
cut-down Linux OS, or possibly on Solaris.</p>
<p>Rclone (via the Go runtime) tries to load the root certificates from
these places on Linux.</p>
<pre><code>&quot;/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt&quot;, // Debian/Ubuntu/Gentoo etc.
&quot;/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt&quot;, // Fedora/RHEL
&quot;/etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem&quot;, // OpenSUSE
&quot;/etc/pki/tls/cacert.pem&quot;, // OpenELEC</code></pre>
<p>So doing something like this should fix the problem. It also sets the
time which is important for SSL to work properly.</p>
<pre><code>mkdir -p /etc/ssl/certs/
curl -o /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bagder/ca-bundle/master/ca-bundle.crt
ntpclient -s -h pool.ntp.org</code></pre>
<p>The two environment variables <code>SSL_CERT_FILE</code> and
<code>SSL_CERT_DIR</code>, mentioned in the <a
href="https://godoc.org/crypto/x509">x509 package</a>, provide an
additional way to provide the SSL root certificates.</p>
<p>Note that you may need to add the <code>--insecure</code> option to
the <code>curl</code> command line if it doesn't work without.</p>
<pre><code>curl --insecure -o /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bagder/ca-bundle/master/ca-bundle.crt</code></pre>
<h3
id="rclone-gives-failed-to-load-config-file-function-not-implemented-error">Rclone
gives Failed to load config file: function not implemented error</h3>
<p>Likely this means that you are running rclone on Linux version not
supported by the go runtime, ie earlier than version 2.6.23.</p>
<p>See the <a href="https://golang.org/doc/install">system requirements
section in the go install docs</a> for full details.</p>
<h3 id="all-my-uploaded-docxxlsxpptx-files-appear-as-archivezip">All my
uploaded docx/xlsx/pptx files appear as archive/zip</h3>
<p>This is caused by uploading these files from a Windows computer which
hasn't got the Microsoft Office suite installed. The easiest way to fix
is to install the Word viewer and the Microsoft Office Compatibility
Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 and later versions' file
formats</p>
<h3 id="tcp-lookup-some.domain.com-no-such-host">tcp lookup
some.domain.com no such host</h3>
<p>This happens when rclone cannot resolve a domain. Please check that
your DNS setup is generally working, e.g.</p>
<pre><code># both should print a long list of possible IP addresses
dig www.googleapis.com # resolve using your default DNS
dig www.googleapis.com @8.8.8.8 # resolve with Google&#39;s DNS server</code></pre>
<p>If you are using <code>systemd-resolved</code> (default on Arch
Linux), ensure it is at version 233 or higher. Previous releases contain
a bug which causes not all domains to be resolved properly.</p>
<p>The Go resolver decision can be influenced with the
<code>GODEBUG=netdns=...</code> environment variable. This also allows
to resolve certain issues with DNS resolution. On Windows or MacOS
systems, try forcing use of the internal Go resolver by setting
<code>GODEBUG=netdns=go</code> at runtime. On other systems (Linux,
*BSD, etc) try forcing use of the system name resolver by setting
<code>GODEBUG=netdns=cgo</code> (and recompile rclone from source with
CGO enabled if necessary). See the <a
href="https://golang.org/pkg/net/#hdr-Name_Resolution">name resolution
section in the go docs</a>.</p>
<h3 id="failed-to-start-auth-webserver-on-windows">Failed to start auth
webserver on Windows</h3>
<pre><code>Error: config failed to refresh token: failed to start auth webserver: listen tcp 127.0.0.1:53682: bind: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions.
...
yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss Fatal error: config failed to refresh token: failed to start auth webserver: listen tcp 127.0.0.1:53682: bind: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions.</code></pre>
<p>This is sometimes caused by the Host Network Service causing issues
with opening the port on the host.</p>
<p>A simple solution may be restarting the Host Network Service with eg.
Powershell</p>
<pre><code>Restart-Service hns</code></pre>
<h3
id="the-total-size-reported-in-the-stats-for-a-sync-is-wrong-and-keeps-changing">The
total size reported in the stats for a sync is wrong and keeps
changing</h3>
<p>It is likely you have more than 10,000 files that need to be synced.
By default, rclone only gets 10,000 files ahead in a sync so as not to
use up too much memory. You can change this default with the <a
href="https://rclone.org/docs/#max-backlog-n">--max-backlog</a>
flag.</p>
<h3
id="rclone-is-using-too-much-memory-or-appears-to-have-a-memory-leak">Rclone
is using too much memory or appears to have a memory leak</h3>
<p>Rclone is written in Go which uses a garbage collector. The default
settings for the garbage collector mean that it runs when the heap size
has doubled.</p>
<p>However it is possible to tune the garbage collector to use less
memory by <a href="https://dave.cheney.net/tag/gogc">setting GOGC</a> to
a lower value, say <code>export GOGC=20</code>. This will make the
garbage collector work harder, reducing memory size at the expense of
CPU usage.</p>
<p>The most common cause of rclone using lots of memory is a single
directory with millions of files in. Rclone has to load this entirely
into memory as rclone objects. Each rclone object takes 0.5k-1k of
memory. There is <a
href="https://github.com/rclone/rclone/wiki/Big-syncs-with-millions-of-files">a
workaround for this</a> which involves a bit of scripting.</p>
<h3
id="rclone-changes-fullwidth-unicode-punctuation-marks-in-file-names">Rclone
changes fullwidth Unicode punctuation marks in file names</h3>
<p>For example: On a Windows system, you have a file with name
<code>Test:1.jpg</code>, where <code>:</code> is the Unicode fullwidth
colon symbol. When using rclone to copy this to your Google Drive, you
will notice that the file gets renamed to <code>Test:1.jpg</code>, where
<code>:</code> is the regular (halfwidth) colon.</p>
<p>The reason for such renames is the way rclone handles different <a
href="https://rclone.org/overview/#restricted-filenames">restricted
filenames</a> on different cloud storage systems. It tries to avoid
ambiguous file names as much and allow moving files between many cloud
storage systems transparently, by replacing invalid characters with
similar looking Unicode characters when transferring to one storage
system, and replacing back again when transferring to a different
storage system where the original characters are supported. When the
same Unicode characters are intentionally used in file names, this
replacement strategy leads to unwanted renames. Read more <a
