-----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Paths are specified as `remote:path`
|
|
|
|
Paths may be as deep as required, eg `remote:directory/subdirectory`.
|
|
|
|
The initial setup for Amazon cloud drive involves getting a token from
|
|
Amazon which you need to do in your browser. `rclone config` walks
|
|
you through it.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example of how to make a remote called `remote`. First run:
|
|
|
|
rclone config
|
|
|
|
This will guide you through an interactive setup process:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
n) New remote
|
|
d) Delete remote
|
|
q) Quit config
|
|
e/n/d/q> n
|
|
name> remote
|
|
What type of source is it?
|
|
Choose a number from below
|
|
1) amazon cloud drive
|
|
2) drive
|
|
3) dropbox
|
|
4) google cloud storage
|
|
5) local
|
|
6) s3
|
|
7) swift
|
|

|
|
Amazon Application Client Id - leave blank normally.
|
|
client_id>
|
|
Amazon Application Client Secret - leave blank normally.
|
|
client_secret>
|
|
Remote config
|
|
If your browser doesn'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...

|
|

|
|
client_secret =
|
|
token = {"access_token":"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx","token_type":"bearer","refresh_token":"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx","expiry":"2015-09-06T16:07:39.658438471+01:00"}

y) Yes this is OK
|
|
e) Edit this remote
|
|
d) Delete this remote
|
|
y/e/d> y
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that rclone runs a webserver on your local machine to collect the
|
|
token as returned from Amazon. This only runs from the moment it
|
|
opens your browser to the moment you get back the verification
|
|
code. This is on `http://127.0.0.1:53682/` and this it may require
|
|
you to unblock it temporarily if you are running a host firewall.
|
|
|
|
Once configured you can then use `rclone` like this,
|
|
|
|
List directories in top level of your Amazon cloud drive
|
|
|
|
rclone lsd remote:
|
|
|
|
List all the files in your Amazon cloud drive
|
|
|
|
rclone ls remote:
|
|
|
|
To copy a local directory to an Amazon cloud drive directory called backup
|
|
|
|
rclone copy /home/source remote:backup
|
|
|
|
### Modified time and MD5SUMs ###
|
|
|
|
Amazon cloud drive doesn't allow modification times to be changed via
|
|
the API so these won't be accurate or used for syncing.
|
|
|
|
It does store MD5SUMs so for a more accurate sync, you can use the
|
|
`--checksum` flag.
|
|
|
|
### Deleting files ###
|
|
|
|
Any files you delete with rclone will end up in the trash. Amazon
|
|
don't provide an API to permanently delete files, nor to empty the
|
|
trash, so you will have to do that with one of Amazon's apps or via
|
|
the Amazon cloud drive website.
|
|
|
|
### Limitations ###
|
|
|
|
Note that Amazon cloud drive is case insensitive so you can't have a
|
|
file called "Hello.doc" and one called "hello.doc".
|
|
|
|
Amazon cloud drive has rate limiting so you may notice errors in the
|
|
sync (429 errors). rclone will automatically retry the sync up to 3
|
|
times by default (see `--retries` flag) which should hopefully work
|
|
around this problem.
