## About rclone {#about}
|
|
|
|
Rclone is a command-line program to manage files on cloud storage. It
|
|
is a feature-rich alternative to cloud vendors' web storage
|
|
interfaces. [Over 40 cloud storage products](#providers) support
|
|
rclone including S3 object stores, business & consumer file storage
|
|
services, as well as standard transfer protocols.
|
|
|
|
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 `--dry-run` protection. It is
|
|
used at the command line, in scripts or via its [API](/rc).
|
|
|
|
Users call rclone *"The Swiss army knife of cloud storage"*, and
|
|
*"Technology indistinguishable from magic"*.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
[check](/commands/rclone_check/) 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.
|
|
|
|
Virtual backends wrap local and cloud file systems to apply
|
|
[encryption](/crypt/),
|
|
[compression](/compress/),
|
|
[chunking](/chunker/),
|
|
[hashing](/hasher/) and
|
|
[joining](/union/).
|
|
|
|
Rclone [mounts](/commands/rclone_mount/) any local, cloud or
|
|
virtual filesystem as a disk on Windows,
|
|
macOS, linux and FreeBSD, and also serves these over
|
|
[SFTP](/commands/rclone_serve_sftp/),
|
|
[HTTP](/commands/rclone_serve_http/),
|
|
[WebDAV](/commands/rclone_serve_webdav/),
|
|
[FTP](/commands/rclone_serve_ftp/) and
|
|
[DLNA](/commands/rclone_serve_dlna/).
|
|
|
|
Rclone is mature, open-source software originally inspired by rsync
|
|
and written in [Go](https://golang.org). The friendly support
|
|
community is familiar with varied use cases. Official Ubuntu, Debian,
|
|
Fedora, Brew and Chocolatey repos. include rclone. For the latest
|
|
version [downloading from rclone.org](/downloads/) is recommended.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Rclone does the heavy lifting of communicating with cloud storage.
|
|
|
|
## What can rclone do for you? {#what}
|
|
|
|
Rclone helps you:
|
|
|
|
- Backup (and encrypt) files to cloud storage
|
|
- Restore (and decrypt) files from cloud storage
|
|
- Mirror cloud data to other cloud services or locally
|
|
- Migrate data to the cloud, or between cloud storage vendors
|
|
- Mount multiple, encrypted, cached or diverse cloud storage as a disk
|
|
- Analyse and account for data held on cloud storage using [lsf](/commands/rclone_lsf/), [ljson](/commands/rclone_lsjson/), [size](/commands/rclone_size/), [ncdu](/commands/rclone_ncdu/)
|
|
- [Union](/union/) file systems together to present multiple local and/or cloud file systems as one
|
|
|
|
## Features {#features}
|
|
|
|
- Transfers
|
|
- MD5, SHA1 hashes are checked at all times for file integrity
|
|
- Timestamps are preserved on files
|
|
- Operations can be restarted at any time
|
|
- Can be to and from network, e.g. two different cloud providers
|
|
- Can use multi-threaded downloads to local disk
|
|
- [Copy](/commands/rclone_copy/) new or changed files to cloud storage
|
|
- [Sync](/commands/rclone_sync/) (one way) to make a directory identical
|
|
- [Move](/commands/rclone_move/) files to cloud storage deleting the local after verification
|
|
- [Check](/commands/rclone_check/) hashes and for missing/extra files
|
|
- [Mount](/commands/rclone_mount/) your cloud storage as a network disk
|
|
- [Serve](/commands/rclone_serve/) local or remote files over [HTTP](/commands/rclone_serve_http/)/[WebDav](/commands/rclone_serve_webdav/)/[FTP](/commands/rclone_serve_ftp/)/[SFTP](/commands/rclone_serve_sftp/)/[dlna](/commands/rclone_serve_dlna/)
|
