Install
Rclone is a Go program and comes as a single binary file.
Download the relevant binary.
Or alternatively if you have Go 1.5+ installed use
go get github.com/ncw/rclone
and this will build the binary in $GOPATH/bin. If you have built rclone
before then you will want to update its dependencies first with this
go get -u -v github.com/ncw/rclone/...
See the Usage section of the docs for how to use rclone, or run
rclone -h.
linux binary downloaded files install example
unzip rclone-v1.17-linux-amd64.zip
cd rclone-v1.17-linux-amd64
#copy binary file
sudo cp rclone /usr/sbin/
sudo chown root:root /usr/sbin/rclone
sudo chmod 755 /usr/sbin/rclone
#install manpage
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/share/man/man1
sudo cp rclone.1 /usr/local/share/man/man1/
sudo mandb
Configure
First you'll need to configure rclone. As the object storage systems
have quite complicated authentication these are kept in a config file
.rclone.conf in your home directory by default. (You can use the
--config option to choose a different config file.)
The easiest way to make the config is to run rclone with the config
option:
rclone config
See the following for detailed instructions for
- Google drive
- Amazon S3
- Swift / Rackspace Cloudfiles / Memset Memstore
- Dropbox
- Google Cloud Storage
- Local filesystem
- Amazon Cloud Drive
- Backblaze B2
- Hubic
- Microsoft One Drive
- Yandex Disk
Usage
Rclone syncs a directory tree from one storage system to another.
Its syntax is like this
Syntax: [options] subcommand <parameters> <parameters...>
Source and destination paths are specified by the name you gave the
storage system in the config file then the sub path, eg "drive:myfolder"
to look at "myfolder" in Google drive.
You can define as many storage paths as you like in the config file.
Subcommands
rclone copy source:path dest:path
Copy the source to the destination. Doesn't transfer unchanged files,
testing by size and modification time or MD5SUM. Doesn't delete files
from the destination.
Note that it is always the contents of the directory that is synced, not
the directory so when source:path is a directory, it's the contents of
source:path that are copied, not the directory name and contents.
If dest:path doesn't exist, it is created and the source:path contents
go there.
For example
rclone copy source:sourcepath dest:destpath
Let's say there are two files in sourcepath
sourcepath/one.txt
sourcepath/two.txt
This copies them to
destpath/one.txt
destpath/two.txt
Not to
destpath/sourcepath/one.txt
destpath/sourcepath/two.txt
If you are familiar with rsync, rclone always works as if you had
written a trailing / - meaning "copy the contents of this directory".
This applies to all commands and whether you are talking about the
source or destination.
rclone sync source:path dest:path
Sync the source to the destination, changing the destination only.
Doesn't transfer unchanged files, testing by size and modification time
or MD5SUM. Destination is updated to match source, including deleting
files if necessary.
IMPORTANT: Since this can cause data loss, test first with the --dry-run
flag to see exactly what would be copied and deleted.
Note that files in the destination won't be deleted if there were any
errors at any point.
It is always the contents of the directory that is synced, not the
directory 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 copy command above if unsure.
If dest:path doesn't exist, it is created and the source:path contents
go there.
move source:path dest:path
Moves the source to the destination.
If there are no filters in use this is equivalent to a copy followed by
a purge, but may use server side operations to speed it up if possible.
If filters are in use then it is equivalent to a copy followed by
delete, followed by an rmdir (which only removes the directory if
empty). The individual file moves will be moved with server side
operations if possible.
IMPORTANT: Since this can cause data loss, test first with the --dry-run
flag.
rclone ls remote:path
List all the objects in the path with size and path.
rclone lsd remote:path
List all directories/containers/buckets in the the path.
rclone lsl remote:path
List all the objects in the the path with modification time, size and
path.
rclone md5sum remote:path
Produces an md5sum file for all the objects in the path. This is in the
same format as the standard md5sum tool produces.
rclone sha1sum remote:path
Produces an sha1sum file for all the objects in the path. This is in the
same format as the standard sha1sum tool produces.
rclone size remote:path
Prints the total size of objects in remote:path and the number of
objects.
rclone mkdir remote:path
Make the path if it doesn't already exist
rclone rmdir remote:path
Remove the path. Note that you can't remove a path with objects in it,
use purge for that.
rclone purge remote:path
Remove the path and all of its contents. Note that this does not obey
include/exclude filters - everything will be removed. Use delete if you
want to selectively delete files.
rclone delete remote:path
Remove the contents of path. Unlike purge it obeys include/exclude
filters so can be used to selectively delete files.
Eg delete all files bigger than 100MBytes
Check what would be deleted first (use either)
rclone --min-size 100M lsl remote:path
rclone --dry-run --min-size 100M delete remote:path
Then delete
rclone --min-size 100M delete remote:path
That reads "delete everything with a minimum size of 100 MB", hence
delete all files bigger than 100MBytes.
rclone check source:path dest:path
Checks the files in the source and destination match. It compares sizes
and MD5SUMs and prints a report of files which don't match. It doesn't
alter the source or destination.
--size-only may be used to only compare the sizes, not the MD5SUMs.
rclone dedupe remote:path
By default dedup interactively finds duplicate files and offers to
delete all but one or rename them to be different. Only useful with
Google Drive which can have duplicate file names.
The dedupe command will delete all but one of any identical (same
md5sum) files it finds without confirmation. This means that for most
duplicated files the dedupe command will not be interactive. You can use
--dry-run to see what would happen without doing anything.
Here is an example run.
Before - with duplicates
$ rclone lsl drive:dupes
6048320 2016-03-05 16:23:16.798000000 one.txt

Dedupe can be run non interactively using the --dedupe-mode flag.
- --dedupe-mode interactive - interactive as above.
- --dedupe-mode skip - removes identical files then skips
anything left.
- --dedupe-mode first - removes identical files then keeps the
first one.
- --dedupe-mode newest - removes identical files then keeps the
newest one.
- --dedupe-mode oldest - removes identical files then keeps the
oldest one.
- --dedupe-mode rename - removes identical files then renames the rest
to be different.
For example to rename all the identically named photos in your Google
Photos directory, do
rclone dedupe --dedupe-mode rename "drive:Google Photos"
rclone config
Enter an interactive configuration session.
rclone help
Prints help on rclone commands and options.
Quoting and the shell
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.
Here are some gotchas which may help users unfamiliar with the shell
rules
Linux / OSX
If your names have spaces or shell metacharacters (eg *, ?, $, ', " etc)
then you must quote them. Use single quotes ' by default.
rclone copy 'Important files?' remote:backup
If you want to send a ' you will need to use ", eg
rclone copy "O'Reilly Reviews" remote:backup
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.
Windows
If your names have spaces in you need to put them in ", eg
rclone copy "E:\folder name\folder name\folder name" remote:backup
If you are using the root directory on its own then don't quote it (see
#464 for why), eg
rclone copy E:\ remote:backup
Server Side Copy
Drive, S3, Dropbox, Swift and Google Cloud Storage support server side
copy.
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.
Eg
rclone copy s3:oldbucket s3:newbucket
Will copy the contents of oldbucket to newbucket without downloading and
re-uploading.
Remotes which don't support server side copy (eg local) WILL download
and re-upload in this case.
Server side copies are used with sync and copy and will be identified in
the log when using the -v flag.
Server side copies will only be attempted if the remote names are the
same.
This can be used when scripting to make aged backups efficiently, eg
rclone sync remote:current-backup remote:previous-backup
rclone sync /path/to/files remote:current-backup
Options
Rclone has a number of options to control its behaviour.
Options which use TIME use the go time parser. 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". Valid time units
are "ns", "us" (or "µs"), "ms", "s", "m", "h".
Options which use SIZE use kByte by default. However a suffix of b for
bytes, k for kBytes, M for MBytes and G for GBytes may be used. These
are the binary units, eg 1, 2**10, 2**20, 2**30 respectively.
--bwlimit=SIZE
Bandwidth limit in kBytes/s, or use suffix b|k|M|G. The default is 0
which means to not limit bandwidth.
For example to limit bandwidth usage to 10 MBytes/s use --bwlimit 10M
This only limits the bandwidth of the data transfer, it doesn't limit
the bandwith of the directory listings etc.
--checkers=N
The number of checkers to run in parallel. Checkers do the equality
checking of files during a sync. For some storage systems (eg s3, swift,
dropbox) this can take a significant amount of time so they are run in
parallel.
The default is to run 8 checkers in parallel.
-c, --checksum
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.
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.
This is very useful when transferring between remotes which store the
same hash type on the object, eg Drive and Swift. For details of which
remotes support which hash type see the table in the overview section.
Eg rclone --checksum sync s3:/bucket swift:/bucket would run much
quicker than without the --checksum flag.
When using this flag, rclone won't update mtimes of remote files if they
are incorrect as it would normally.
--config=CONFIG_FILE
Specify the location of the rclone config file. Normally this is in your
home directory as a file called .rclone.conf. If you run rclone -h and
look at the help for the --config option you will see where the default
location is for you. Use this flag to override the config location, eg
rclone --config=".myconfig" .config.
--contimeout=TIME
Set the connection timeout. This should be in go time format which looks
like 5s for 5 seconds, 10m for 10 minutes, or 3h30m.
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 1m by
default.
--dedupe-mode MODE
Mode to run dedupe command in. One of interactive, skip, first, newest,
oldest, rename. The default is interactive. See the dedupe command for
more information as to what these options mean.
-n, --dry-run
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 sync
command which deletes files in the destination.
--ignore-existing
Using this option will make rclone unconditionally skip all files that
exist on the destination, no matter the content of these files.
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.
--ignore-size
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 --checksum is set then it only checks the
checksum.
It will also cause rclone to skip verifying the sizes are the same after
transfer.
This can be useful for transferring files to and from onedrive which
occasionally misreports the size of image files (see #399 for more
info).
-I, --ignore-times
Using this option will cause rclone to unconditionally upload all files
regardless of the state of files on the destination.
Normally rclone would skip any files that have the same modification
time and are the same size (or have the same checksum if using
--checksum).
--log-file=FILE
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 -v flag. See the Logging section for more info.
--low-level-retries NUMBER
This controls the number of low level retries rclone does.
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 -v flag.
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 --retries flag)
quicker.
Disable low level retries with --low-level-retries 1.
--max-depth=N
This modifies the recursion depth for all the commands except purge.
So if you do rclone --max-depth 1 ls remote:path you will see only the
files in the top level directory. Using --max-depth 2 means you will see
all the files in first two directory levels and so on.
For historical reasons the lsd command defaults to using a --max-depth
of 1 - you can override this with the command line flag.
You can use this command to disable recursion (with --max-depth 1).
Note that if you use this with sync and --delete-excluded the files not
recursed through are considered excluded and will be deleted on the
destination. Test first with --dry-run if you are not sure what will
happen.
--modify-window=TIME
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.
The default is 1ns 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 1s by default.
This command line flag allows you to override that computed default.
--no-gzip-encoding
Don't set Accept-Encoding: gzip. This means that rclone won't ask the
server for compressed files automatically. Useful if you've set the
server to return files with Content-Encoding: gzip but you uploaded
compressed files.
There is no need to set this in normal operation, and doing so will
decrease the network transfer efficiency of rclone.
-q, --quiet
Normally rclone outputs stats and a completion message. If you set this
flag it will make as little output as possible.
--retries int
Retry the entire sync if it fails this many times it fails (default 3).
Some remotes can be unreliable and a few retries helps pick up the files
which didn't get transferred because of errors.
Disable retries with --retries 1.
--size-only
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.
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.
--stats=TIME
Rclone will print stats at regular intervals to show its progress.
This sets the interval.
The default is 1m. Use 0 to disable.
--delete-(before,during,after)
This option allows you to specify when files on your destination are
deleted when you sync folders.
Specifying the value --delete-before will delete all files present on
the destination, but not on the source _before_ starting the transfer of
any new or updated files.
Specifying --delete-during (default value) will delete files while
checking and uploading files. This is usually the fastest option.
Specifying --delete-after will delay deletion of files until all
new/updated files have been successfully transfered.
--timeout=TIME
This sets the IO idle timeout. If a transfer has started but then
becomes idle for this long it is considered broken and disconnected.
The default is 5m. Set to 0 to disable.
--transfers=N
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.
The default is to run 4 file transfers in parallel.
-u, --update
This forces rclone to skip any files which exist on the destination and
have a modified time that is newer than the source file.
If an existing destination file has a modification time equal (within
the computed modify window precision) to the source file's, it will be
updated if the sizes are different.
On remotes which don't support mod time directly the time checked will
be the uploaded time. This means that if uploading to one of these
remoes, rclone will skip any files which exist on the destination and
have an uploaded time that is newer than the modification time of the
source file.
This can be useful when transferring to a remote which doesn't support
mod times directly as it is more accurate than a --size-only check and
faster than using --checksum.
-v, --verbose
If you set this flag, rclone will become very verbose telling you about
every file it considers and transfers.
Very useful for debugging.
-V, --version
Prints the version number
Configuration Encryption
Your configuration file contains information for logging in to your
cloud services. This means that you should keep your .rclone.conf file
in a secure location.
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 enter
the password every time you start rclone.
To add a password to your rclone configuration, execute rclone config.
>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>
Go into s, Set configuration password:
e/n/d/s/q> 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> 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>
Your configuration is now encrypted, and every time you start rclone you
will now be asked for the password. In the same menu you can change the
password or completely remove encryption from your configuration.
There is no way to recover the configuration if you lose your password.
rclone uses nacl secretbox 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.
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.
If it is safe in your environment, you can set the RCLONE_CONFIG_PASS
environment variable to contain your password, in which case it will be
used for decrypting the configuration.
If you are running rclone inside a script, you might want to disable
password prompts. To do that, pass the parameter --ask-password=false to
rclone. This will make rclone fail instead of asking for a password if
RCLONE_CONFIG_PASS doesn't contain a valid password.
Developer options
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 eg
--drive-test-option - see the docs for the remote in question.
--cpuprofile=FILE
Write CPU profile to file. This can be analysed with go tool pprof.
--dump-bodies
Dump HTTP headers and bodies - may contain sensitive info. Can be very
verbose. Useful for debugging only.
--dump-filters
Dump the filters to the output. Useful to see exactly what include and
exclude options are filtering on.
--dump-headers
Dump HTTP headers - may contain sensitive info. Can be very verbose.
Useful for debugging only.
--memprofile=FILE
Write memory profile to file. This can be analysed with go tool pprof.
--no-check-certificate=true/false
--no-check-certificate controls whether a client verifies the server's
certificate chain and host name. If --no-check-certificate 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.
This option defaults to false.
THIS SHOULD BE USED ONLY FOR TESTING.
Filtering
For the filtering options
- --delete-excluded
- --filter
- --filter-from
- --exclude
- --exclude-from
- --include
- --include-from
- --files-from
- --min-size
- --max-size
- --min-age
- --max-age
- --dump-filters
See the filtering section.
Logging
rclone has 3 levels of logging, Error, Info and Debug.
By default rclone logs Error and Info to standard error and Debug to
standard output. This means you can redirect standard output and
standard error to different places.
By default rclone will produce Error and Info level messages.
If you use the -q flag, rclone will only produce Error messages.
If you use the -v flag, rclone will produce Error, Info and Debug
messages.
If you use the --log-file=FILE option, rclone will redirect Error, Info
and Debug messages along with standard error to FILE.
Exit Code
If any errors occurred during the command, rclone will set a non zero
exit code. This allows scripts to detect when rclone operations have
failed.
CONFIGURING RCLONE ON A REMOTE / HEADLESS MACHINE
Some of the configurations (those involving oauth2) require an Internet
connected web browser.
If you are trying to set rclone up on a remote or headless box with no
browser available on it (eg 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.
Configuring using rclone authorize
On the headless box
...
Remote config
Use auto config?
* Say Y if not sure
* Say N if you are working on a remote or headless machine
y) Yes
n) No
y/n> n
For this to work, you will need rclone available on a machine that has a web browser available.
Execute the following on your machine:
rclone authorize "amazon cloud drive"
Then paste the result below:
result>
Then on your main desktop machine
rclone authorize "amazon cloud drive"
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...
Got code
Paste the following into your remote machine --->
SECRET_TOKEN
<---End paste
Then back to the headless box, paste in the code
result> 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>
Configuring by copying the config file
Rclone stores all of its config in a single configuration file. This can
easily be copied to configure a remote rclone.
So first configure rclone on your desktop machine
rclone config
to set up the config file.
Find the config file by running rclone -h and looking for the help for
the --config option
$ rclone -h
[snip]
--config="/home/user/.rclone.conf": Config file.
[snip]
Now transfer it to the remote box (scp, cut paste, ftp, sftp etc) and
place it in the correct place (use rclone -h on the remote box to find
out where).
FILTERING, INCLUDES AND EXCLUDES
Rclone has a sophisticated set of include and exclude rules. Some of
these are based on patterns and some on other things like file size.
The filters are applied for the copy, sync, move, ls, lsl, md5sum,
sha1sum, size, delete and check operations. Note that purge does not
obey the filters.
Each path as it passes through rclone is matched against the include and
exclude rules like --include, --exclude, --include-from, --exclude-from,
--filter, or --filter-from. The simplest way to try them out is using
the ls command, or --dry-run together with -v.
IMPORTANT Due to limitations of the command line parser you can only use
any of these options once - if you duplicate them then rclone will use
the last one only.
Patterns
The patterns used to match files for inclusion or exclusion are based on
"file globs" as used by the unix shell.
If the pattern starts with a / then it only matches at the top level of
the directory tree, relative to the root of the remote. If it doesn't
start with / then it is matched starting at the END OF THE PATH, but it
will only match a complete path element:
file.jpg - matches "file.jpg"
- matches "directory/file.jpg"
- doesn't match "afile.jpg"
- doesn't match "directory/afile.jpg"
/file.jpg - matches "file.jpg" in the root directory of the remote
- doesn't match "afile.jpg"
- doesn't match "directory/file.jpg"
IMPORTANT Note that you must use / in patterns and not \ even if running
on Windows.
A * matches anything but not a /.
*.jpg - matches "file.jpg"
- matches "directory/file.jpg"
- doesn't match "file.jpg/something"
Use ** to match anything, including slashes (/).
dir/** - matches "dir/file.jpg"
- matches "dir/dir1/dir2/file.jpg"
- doesn't match "directory/file.jpg"
- doesn't match "adir/file.jpg"
A ? matches any character except a slash /.
l?ss - matches "less"
- matches "lass"
- doesn't match "floss"
A [ and ] together make a a character class, such as [a-z] or [aeiou] or
[[:alpha:]]. See the go regexp docs for more info on these.
h[ae]llo - matches "hello"
- matches "hallo"
- doesn't match "hullo"
A { and } define a choice between elements. It should contain a comma
seperated list of patterns, any of which might match. These patterns can
contain wildcards.
{one,two}_potato - matches "one_potato"
- matches "two_potato"
- doesn't match "three_potato"
- doesn't match "_potato"
Special characters can be escaped with a \ before them.
\*.jpg - matches "*.jpg"
\\.jpg - matches "\.jpg"
\[one\].jpg - matches "[one].jpg"
Note also that rclone filter globs can only be used in one of the filter
command line flags, not in the specification of the remote, so
rclone copy "remote:dir*.jpg" /path/to/dir won't work - what is required
is rclone --include "*.jpg" copy remote:dir /path/to/dir
Directories
Rclone keeps track of directories that could match any file patterns.
Eg if you add the include rule
\a\*.jpg
Rclone will synthesize the directory include rule
\a\
If you put any rules which end in \ then it will only match directories.
Directory matches are ONLY used to optimise directory access patterns -
you must still match the files that you want to match. Directory matches
won't optimise anything on bucket based remotes (eg s3, swift, google
compute storage, b2) which don't have a concept of directory.
Differences between rsync and rclone patterns
Rclone implements bash style {a,b,c} glob matching which rsync doesn't.
Rclone always does a wildcard match so \ must always escape a \.
How the rules are used
Rclone maintains a list of include rules and exclude rules.
Each file is matched in order against the list until it finds a match.
The file is then included or excluded according to the rule type.
If the matcher falls off the bottom of the list then the path is
included.
For example given the following rules, + being include, - being exclude,
- secret*.jpg
+ *.jpg
+ *.png
+ file2.avi
- *
This would include
- file1.jpg
- file3.png
- file2.avi
This would exclude
- secret17.jpg
- non *.jpg and *.png
A similar process is done on directory entries before recursing into
them. This only works on remotes which have a concept of directory (Eg
local, drive, onedrive, amazon cloud drive) and not on bucket based
remotes (eg s3, swift, google compute storage, b2).
Adding filtering rules
Filtering rules are added with the following command line flags.
--exclude - Exclude files matching pattern
Add a single exclude rule with --exclude.
Eg --exclude *.bak to exclude all bak files from the sync.
--exclude-from - Read exclude patterns from file
Add exclude rules from a file.
Prepare a file like this exclude-file.txt
# a sample exclude rule file
*.bak
file2.jpg
Then use as --exclude-from exclude-file.txt. This will sync all files
except those ending in bak and file2.jpg.
This is useful if you have a lot of rules.
--include - Include files matching pattern
Add a single include rule with --include.
Eg --include *.{png,jpg} to include all png and jpg files in the backup
and no others.
This adds an implicit --exclude * at the very end of the filter list.
This means you can mix --include and --include-from with the other
filters (eg --exclude) but you must include all the files you want in
the include statement. If this doesn't provide enough flexibility then
you must use --filter-from.
--include-from - Read include patterns from file
Add include rules from a file.
Prepare a file like this include-file.txt
# a sample include rule file
*.jpg
*.png
file2.avi
Then use as --include-from include-file.txt. This will sync all jpg, png
files and file2.avi.
This is useful if you have a lot of rules.
This adds an implicit --exclude * at the very end of the filter list.
This means you can mix --include and --include-from with the other
filters (eg --exclude) but you must include all the files you want in
the include statement. If this doesn't provide enough flexibility then
you must use --filter-from.
--filter - Add a file-filtering rule
This can be used to add a single include or exclude rule. Include rules
start with + and exclude rules start with -. A special rule called ! can
be used to clear the existing rules.
Eg --filter "- *.bak" to exclude all bak files from the sync.
--filter-from - Read filtering patterns from a file
Add include/exclude rules from a file.
Prepare a file like this filter-file.txt
# a sample exclude rule file
- secret*.jpg
+ *.jpg
+ *.png
+ file2.avi
# exclude everything else
- *
Then use as --filter-from filter-file.txt. The rules are processed in
the order that they are defined.
This example will include all jpg and png files, exclude any files
matching secret*.jpg and include file2.avi. Everything else will be
excluded from the sync.
--files-from - Read list of source-file names
This reads a list of file names from the file passed in and ONLY these
files are transferred. The filtering rules are ignored completely if you
use this option.
Prepare a file like this files-from.txt
# comment
file1.jpg
file2.jpg
Then use as --files-from files-from.txt. This will only transfer
file1.jpg and file2.jpg providing they exist.
--min-size - Don't transfer any file smaller than this
This option controls the minimum size file which will be transferred.
This defaults to kBytes but a suffix of k, M, or G can be used.
For example --min-size 50k means no files smaller than 50kByte will be
transferred.
--max-size - Don't transfer any file larger than this
This option controls the maximum size file which will be transferred.
This defaults to kBytes but a suffix of k, M, or G can be used.
For example --max-size 1G means no files larger than 1GByte will be
transferred.
--max-age - Don't transfer any file older than this
This option controls the maximum age of files to transfer. Give in
seconds or with a suffix of:
- ms - Milliseconds
- s - Seconds
- m - Minutes
- h - Hours
- d - Days
- w - Weeks
- M - Months
- y - Years
For example --max-age 2d means no files older than 2 days will be
transferred.
--min-age - Don't transfer any file younger than this
This option controls the minimum age of files to transfer. Give in
seconds or with a suffix (see --max-age for list of suffixes)
For example --min-age 2d means no files younger than 2 days will be
transferred.
--delete-excluded - Delete files on dest excluded from sync
IMPORTANT this flag is dangerous - use with --dry-run and -v first.
When doing rclone sync this will delete any files which are excluded
from the sync on the destination.
If for example you did a sync from A to B without the --min-size 50k
flag
rclone sync A: B:
Then you repeated it like this with the --delete-excluded
rclone --min-size 50k --delete-excluded sync A: B:
This would delete all files on B which are less than 50 kBytes as these
are now excluded from the sync.
Always test first with --dry-run and -v before using this flag.
--dump-filters - dump the filters to the output
This dumps the defined filters to the output as regular expressions.
Useful for debugging.
Quoting shell metacharacters
The examples above may not work verbatim in your shell as they have
shell metacharacters in them (eg *), and may require quoting.
Eg linux, OSX
- --include \*.jpg
- --include '*.jpg'
- --include='*.jpg'
In Windows the expansion is done by the command not the shell so this
should work fine
- --include *.jpg
OVERVIEW OF CLOUD STORAGE SYSTEMS
Each cloud storage system is slighly different. Rclone attempts to
provide a unified interface to them, but some underlying differences
show through.
Features
Here is an overview of the major features of each cloud storage system.
Name Hash ModTime Case Insensitive Duplicate Files
---------------------- ------ --------- ------------------ -----------------
Google Drive MD5 Yes No Yes
Amazon S3 MD5 Yes No No
Openstack Swift MD5 Yes No No
Dropbox - No Yes No
Google Cloud Storage MD5 Yes No No
Amazon Cloud Drive MD5 No Yes No
Microsoft One Drive SHA1 Yes Yes No
Hubic MD5 Yes No No
Backblaze B2 SHA1 Yes No No
Yandex Disk MD5 Yes No No
The local filesystem All Yes Depends No
Hash
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 --checksum flag in syncs and in the check
command.
To use the checksum checks between filesystems they must support a
common hash type.
ModTime
The cloud storage system supports setting modification times on objects.
If it does then this enables a using the modification times as part of
the sync. If not then only the size will be checked by default, though
the MD5SUM can be checked with the --checksum flag.
All cloud storage systems support some kind of date on the object and
these will be set when transferring from the cloud storage system.
Case Insensitive
If a cloud storage systems is case sensitive then it is possible to have
two files which differ only in case, eg file.txt and FILE.txt. If a
cloud storage system is case insensitive then that isn't possible.
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.
The local filesystem may or may not be case sensitive depending on OS.
- Windows - usually case insensitive, though case is preserved
- OSX - usually case insensitive, though it is possible to format case
sensitive
- Linux - usually case sensitive, but there are case insensitive file
systems (eg FAT formatted USB keys)
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.
Duplicate files
If a cloud storage system allows duplicate files then it can have two
objects with the same name.
This confuses rclone greatly when syncing - use the rclone dedupe
command to rename or remove duplicates.
Google Drive
Paths are specified as drive:path
Drive paths may be as deep as required, eg drive:directory/subdirectory.
The initial setup for drive involves getting a token from Google drive
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

* Say N if you are working on a remote or headless machine or Y didn't work
y) Yes
n) No
y/n> y
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

--------------------
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 Google if you use auto config mode. 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, or use manual mode.
You can then use it like this,
List directories in top level of your drive
rclone lsd remote:
List all the files in your drive
rclone ls remote:
To copy a local directory to a drive directory called backup
rclone copy /home/source remote:backup
Modified time
Google drive stores modification times accurate to 1 ms.
Revisions
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.
Revisions follow the standard google policy which at time of writing was
- They are deleted after 30 days or 100 revisions (whatever
comes first).
- They do not count towards a user storage quota.
Deleting files
By default rclone will delete files permanently when requested. If
sending them to the trash is required instead then use the
--drive-use-trash flag.
Specific options
Here are the command line options specific to this cloud storage system.
--drive-chunk-size=SIZE
Upload chunk size. Must a power of 2 >= 256k. Default value is 8 MB.
Making this larger will improve performance, but note that each chunk is
buffered in memory one per transfer.
Reducing this will reduce memory usage but decrease performance.
--drive-full-list
No longer does anything - kept for backwards compatibility.
--drive-upload-cutoff=SIZE
File size cutoff for switching to chunked upload. Default is 8 MB.
--drive-use-trash
Send files to the trash instead of deleting permanently. Defaults to
off, namely deleting files permanently.
--drive-auth-owner-only
Only consider files owned by the authenticated user. Requires that
--drive-full-list=true (default).
--drive-formats
Google documents can only be exported from Google drive. When rclone
downloads a Google doc it chooses a format to download depending upon
this setting.
By default the formats are docx,xlsx,pptx,svg which are a sensible
default for an editable document.
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.
If you prefer an archive copy then you might use --drive-formats pdf, or
if you prefer openoffice/libreoffice formats you might use
--drive-formats ods,odt.
Note that rclone adds the extension to the google doc, so if it is
calles My Spreadsheet on google docs, it will be exported as
My Spreadsheet.xlsx or My Spreadsheet.pdf etc.
Here are the possible extensions with their corresponding mime types.

Limitations
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 MBytes/s but lots of small files can
take a long time.
Amazon S3
Paths are specified as remote:bucket (or remote: for the lsd command.)
You may put subdirectories in too, eg remote:bucket/path/to/dir.
Here is an example of making an s3 configuration. First run
rclone config

y) Yes this is OK
e) Edit this remote
d) Delete this remote
y/e/d> y
This remote is called remote and can now be used like this
See all buckets
rclone lsd remote:
Make a new bucket
rclone mkdir remote:bucket
List the contents of a bucket
rclone ls remote:bucket
Sync /home/local/directory to the remote bucket, deleting any excess
files in the bucket.
rclone sync /home/local/directory remote:bucket
Modified time
The modified time is stored as metadata on the object as
X-Amz-Meta-Mtime as floating point since the epoch accurate to 1 ns.
Multipart uploads
rclone supports multipart uploads with S3 which means that it can upload
files bigger than 5GB. Note that files uploaded with multipart upload
don't have an MD5SUM.
Buckets and Regions
With Amazon S3 you can list buckets (rclone lsd) 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, incorrect region, the bucket is not in 'XXX' region.
Authentication
There are two ways to supply rclone with a set of AWS credentials. In
order of precedence:
- Directly in the rclone configuration file (as configured by
rclone config)
- set access_key_id and secret_access_key
- Runtime configuration:
- set env_auth to true in the config file
- Exporting the following environment variables before running rclone
- Access Key ID: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID or AWS_ACCESS_KEY
- Secret Access Key: AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY or AWS_SECRET_KEY
- Running rclone on an EC2 instance with an IAM role
If none of these option actually end up providing rclone with AWS
credentials then S3 interaction will be non-authenticated (see below).
Anonymous access to public buckets
If you want to use rclone to access a public bucket, configure with a
blank access_key_id and secret_access_key. Eg
No remotes found - make a new one
n) New remote
q) Quit config
n/q> n
name> anons3
What type of source is it?
Choose a number from below
1) amazon cloud drive
2) b2
3) drive
4) dropbox
5) google cloud storage
6) swift
7) hubic
8) local
9) onedrive
10) s3
11) yandex
type> 10
Get AWS credentials from runtime (environment variables or EC2 meta data if no env vars). Only applies if access_key_id and secret_access_key is blank.
Choose a number from below, or type in your own value
* Enter AWS credentials in the next step
1) false
* Get AWS credentials from the environment (env vars or IAM)
2) true
env_auth> 1
AWS Access Key ID - leave blank for anonymous access or runtime credentials.
access_key_id>
AWS Secret Access Key (password) - leave blank for anonymous access or runtime credentials.
secret_access_key>
...
Then use it as normal with the name of the public bucket, eg
rclone lsd anons3:1000genomes
You will be able to list and copy data but not upload it.
Ceph
Ceph is an object storage system which presents an Amazon S3 interface.
To use rclone with ceph, you need to set the following parameters in the
config.
access_key_id = Whatever
secret_access_key = Whatever
endpoint = https://ceph.endpoint.goes.here/
region = other-v2-signature
Note also that Ceph sometimes puts / 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 / escaped as \/. Make sure you only write / in the
secret access key.
Eg the dump from Ceph looks something like this (irrelevant keys
removed).
{
"user_id": "xxx",
"display_name": "xxxx",
"keys": [
{
"user": "xxx",
"access_key": "xxxxxx",
"secret_key": "xxxxxx\/xxxx"
}
],
}
Because this is a json dump, it is encoding the / as \/, so if you use
the secret key as xxxxxx/xxxx it will work fine.
Swift
Swift refers to Openstack Object Storage. Commercial implementations of
that being:
- Rackspace Cloud Files
- Memset Memstore
Paths are specified as remote:container (or remote: for the lsd
command.) You may put subdirectories in too, eg
remote:container/path/to/dir.
Here is an example of making a swift configuration. First run
rclone config
This will guide you through an interactive setup process.

This remote is called remote and can now be used like this
See all containers
rclone lsd remote:
Make a new container
rclone mkdir remote:container
List the contents of a container
rclone ls remote:container
Sync /home/local/directory to the remote container, deleting any excess
files in the container.
rclone sync /home/local/directory remote:container
Specific options
Here are the command line options specific to this cloud storage system.
--swift-chunk-size=SIZE
Above this size files will be chunked into a _segments container. The
default for this is 5GB which is its maximum value.
Modified time
The modified time is stored as metadata on the object as
X-Object-Meta-Mtime as floating point since the epoch accurate to 1 ns.
This is a defacto standard (used in the official python-swiftclient
amongst others) for storing the modification time for an object.
Limitations
The Swift API doesn't return a correct MD5SUM for segmented files
(Dynamic or Static Large Objects) so rclone won't check or use the
MD5SUM for these.
Troubleshooting
Rclone gives Failed to create file system for "remote:": Bad Request
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.
So this most likely means your username / password is wrong. You can
investigate further with the --dump-bodies flag.
Rclone gives Failed to create file system: Response didn't have storage storage url and auth token
This is most likely caused by forgetting to specify your tenant when
setting up a swift remote.
Dropbox
Paths are specified as remote:path
Dropbox paths may be as deep as required, eg
remote:directory/subdirectory.
The initial setup for dropbox involves getting a token from Dropbox
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:

You can then use it like this,
List directories in top level of your dropbox
rclone lsd remote:
List all the files in your dropbox
rclone ls remote:
To copy a local directory to a dropbox directory called backup
rclone copy /home/source remote:backup
Modified time and MD5SUMs
Dropbox doesn't provide the ability to set modification times in the V1
public API, so rclone can't support modified time with Dropbox.
This may change in the future - see these issues for details:
- Dropbox V2 API
- Allow syncs for remotes that can't set modtime on existing objects
Dropbox doesn't return any sort of checksum (MD5 or SHA1).
Together that means that syncs to dropbox will effectively have the
--size-only flag set.
Specific options
Here are the command line options specific to this cloud storage system.
--dropbox-chunk-size=SIZE
Upload chunk size. Max 150M. The default is 128MB. Note that this isn't
buffered into memory.
Limitations
Note that Dropbox is case insensitive so you can't have a file called
"Hello.doc" and one called "hello.doc".
There are some file names such as thumbs.db which Dropbox can't store.
There is a full list of them in the "Ignored Files" section of this
document. Rclone will issue an error message
File name disallowed - not uploading if it attempt to upload one of
those file names, but the sync won't fail.
If you have more than 10,000 files in a directory then
rclone purge dropbox:dir will return the error
Failed to purge: There are too many files involved in this operation. As
a work-around do an rclone delete dropbix:dir followed by an
rclone rmdir dropbox:dir.
Google Cloud Storage
Paths are specified as remote:bucket (or remote: for the lsd command.)
You may put subdirectories in too, eg remote:bucket/path/to/dir.

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

rclone sync /home/local/directory remote:bucket
Service Account support
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.
To get credentials for Google Cloud Platform IAM Service Accounts,
please head to the Service Account section of the Google Developer
Console. Service Accounts behave just like normal User permissions in
Google Cloud Storage ACLs, 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.
To use a Service Account instead of OAuth2 token flow, enter the path to
your Service Account credentials at the service_account_file prompt and
rclone won't use the browser based authentication flow.
Modified time
Google google cloud storage stores md5sums natively and rclone stores
modification times as metadata on the object, under the "mtime" key in
RFC3339 format accurate to 1ns.
Amazon Cloud Drive
Paths are specified as remote:path
Paths may be as deep as required, eg remote:directory/subdirectory.

See the remote setup docs for how to set it up on a machine with no
Internet browser available.
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.
Specific options
Here are the command line options specific to this cloud storage system.
--acd-templink-threshold=SIZE
Files this size or more will be downloaded via their tempLink. This is
to work around a problem with Amazon Cloud Drive which blocks downloads
of files bigger than about 10GB. The default for this is 9GB which
shouldn't need to be changed.
To download files above this threshold, rclone requests a tempLink which
downloads the file through a temporary URL directly from the underlying
S3 storage.
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.
Amazon cloud drive has an internal limit of file sizes that can be
uploaded to the service. This limit is not officially published, but all
files larger than this will fail.
At the time of writing (Jan 2016) is in the area of 50GB per file. This
means that larger files are likely to fail.
Unfortunatly there is no way for rclone to see that this failure is
because of file size, so it will retry the operation, as any other
failure. To avoid this problem, use --max-size=50GB option to limit the
maximum size of uploaded files.
Microsoft One Drive
Paths are specified as remote:path
Paths may be as deep as required, eg remote:directory/subdirectory.
The initial setup for One Drive involves getting a token from Microsoft
which you need to do in your browser. rclone config walks you through
it.

rclone lsd remote:
List all the files in your One Drive
rclone ls remote:
To copy a local directory to an One Drive directory called backup
rclone copy /home/source remote:backup
Modified time and hashes
One Drive allows modification times to be set on objects accurate to 1
second. These will be used to detect whether objects need syncing or
not.
One drive supports SHA1 type hashes, so you can use --checksum flag.
Deleting files
Any files you delete with rclone will end up in the trash. Microsoft
doesn't provide an API to permanently delete files, nor to empty the
trash, so you will have to do that with one of Microsoft's apps or via
the One Drive website.
Specific options
Here are the command line options specific to this cloud storage system.
--onedrive-chunk-size=SIZE
Above this size files will be chunked - must be multiple of 320k. The
default is 10MB. Note that the chunks will be buffered into memory.
--onedrive-upload-cutoff=SIZE
Cutoff for switching to chunked upload - must be <= 100MB. The default
is 10MB.
Limitations
Note that One Drive is case insensitive so you can't have a file called
"Hello.doc" and one called "hello.doc".
Rclone only supports your default One Drive, and doesn't work with One
Drive for business. Both these issues may be fixed at some point
depending on user demand!
There are quite a few characters that can't be in One Drive 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 ? in it will be
mapped to ？ instead.
Hubic
Paths are specified as remote:path
Paths are specified as remote:container (or remote: for the lsd

rclone copy /home/source remote:backup
If you want the directory to be visible in the official _Hubic browser_,
you need to copy your files to the default directory
rclone copy /home/source remote:default/backup
Modified time
The modified time is stored as metadata on the object as
X-Object-Meta-Mtime as floating point since the epoch accurate to 1 ns.
This is a defacto standard (used in the official python-swiftclient
amongst others) for storing the modification time for an object.
Note that Hubic wraps the Swift backend, so most of the properties of
are the same.
Limitations
This uses the normal OpenStack Swift mechanism to refresh the Swift API
credentials and ignores the expires field returned by the Hubic API.
The Swift API doesn't return a correct MD5SUM for segmented files
(Dynamic or Static Large Objects) so rclone won't check or use the
MD5SUM for these.
Backblaze B2
B2 is Backblaze's cloud storage system.

See all buckets
rclone lsd remote:
Make a new bucket
rclone mkdir remote:bucket
List the contents of a bucket
rclone ls remote:bucket
Sync /home/local/directory to the remote bucket, deleting any excess
files in the bucket.
rclone sync /home/local/directory remote:bucket
Modified time
The modified time is stored as metadata on the object as
X-Bz-Info-src_last_modified_millis as milliseconds since 1970-01-01 in
the Backblaze standard. Other tools should be able to use this as a
modified time.
Modified times are used in syncing and are fully supported except in the
case of updating a modification time on an existing object. In this case
the object will be uploaded again as B2 doesn't have an API method to
set the modification time independent of doing an upload.
SHA1 checksums
The SHA1 checksums of the files are checked on upload and download and
will be used in the syncing process. You can use the --checksum flag.
Large files which are uploaded in chunks will store their SHA1 on the
object as X-Bz-Info-large_file_sha1 as recommended by Backblaze.
Versions
When rclone uploads a new version of a file it creates a new version of
it. Likewise when you delete a file, the old version will still be
available.
The old versions of files are visible in the B2 web interface, but not
via rclone yet.
Rclone doesn't provide any way of managing old versions (downloading
them or deleting them) at the moment. When you purge a bucket, all the
old versions will be deleted.
Transfers
Backblaze recommends that you do lots of transfers simultaneously for
maximum speed. In tests from my SSD equiped laptop the optimum setting
is about --transfers 32 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 --transfers 4 is definitely too low for
Backblaze B2 though.
Specific options
Here are the command line options specific to this cloud storage system.
--b2-chunk-size valuee=SIZE
When uploading large files chunk the file into this size. Note that
these chunks are buffered in memory. 100,000,000 Bytes is the minimim
size (default 96M).
--b2-upload-cutoff=SIZE
Cutoff for switching to chunked upload (default 4.657GiB == 5GB). Files
above this size will be uploaded in chunks of --b2-chunk-size. The
default value is the largest file which can be uploaded without chunks.
API
Here are some notes I made on the backblaze API while integrating it
with rclone.

See the remote setup docs for how to set it up on a machine with no
Internet browser available.
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 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,
See top level directories
rclone lsd remote:
Make a new directory
rclone mkdir remote:directory
List the contents of a directory
rclone ls remote:directory
Sync /home/local/directory to the remote path, deleting any excess files
in the path.
rclone sync /home/local/directory remote:directory
Modified time
Modified times are supported and are stored accurate to 1 ns in custom
metadata called rclone_modified in RFC3339 with nanoseconds format.
MD5 checksums
MD5 checksums are natively supported by Yandex Disk.
Local Filesystem
Local paths are specified as normal filesystem paths, eg
/path/to/wherever, so
rclone sync /home/source /tmp/destination
Will sync /home/source to /tmp/destination
These can be configured into the config file for consistencies sake, but
it is probably easier not to.
Modified time
Rclone reads and writes the modified time using an accuracy determined
by the OS. Typically this is 1ns on Linux, 10 ns on Windows and 1 Second
on OS X.
Filenames
Filenames are expected to be encoded in UTF-8 on disk. This is the
normal case for Windows and OS X.
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 (eg latin1) then you can
use the convmv tool to convert the filesystem to UTF-8. This tool is
available in most distributions' package managers.
If an invalid (non-UTF8) filename is read, the invalid caracters will be
replaced with the unicode replacement character, '�'. rclone will emit a
debug message in this case (use -v to see), eg
Local file system at .: Replacing invalid UTF-8 characters in "gro\xdf"
Long paths on Windows
Rclone handles long paths automatically, by converting all paths to long
UNC paths which allows paths up to 32,767 characters.
This is why you will see that your paths, for instance c:\files is
converted to the UNC path \\?\c:\files in the output, and \\server\share
is converted to \\?\UNC\server\share.
However, in rare cases this may cause problems with buggy file system
drivers like EncFS. To disable UNC conversion globally, add this to your
.rclone.conf file:
[local]
nounc = true
If you want to selectively disable UNC, you can add it to a separate
entry like this:
[nounc]
type = local
nounc = true
And use rclone like this:
rclone copy c:\src nounc:z:\dst
This will use UNC paths on c:\src but not on z:\dst. Of course this will
cause problems if the absolute path length of a file exceeds 258
characters on z, so only use this option if you have to.

Bugs and Limitations
Empty directories are left behind / not created
With remotes that have a concept of directory, eg Local and Drive, empty
directories may be left behind, or not created when one was expected.
This is because rclone doesn't have a concept of a directory - it only
works on objects. Most of the object storage systems can't actually
store a directory so there is nowhere for rclone to store anything about
directories.
You can work round this to some extent with thepurge command which will
delete everything under the path, INLUDING empty directories.
This may be fixed at some point in Issue #100
Directory timestamps aren't preserved
For the same reason as the above, rclone doesn't have a concept of a
directory - it only works on objects, therefore it can't preserve the
timestamps of directories.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do all cloud storage systems support all rclone commands
Yes they do. All the rclone commands (eg sync, copy etc) will work on
all the remote storage systems.
Can I copy the config from one machine to another
Sure! Rclone stores all of its config in a single file. If you want to
find this file, the simplest way is to run rclone -h and look at the
help for the --config flag which will tell you where it is.
See the remote setup docs for more info.
How do I configure rclone on a remote / headless box with no browser?
This has now been documented in its own remote setup page.
Can rclone sync directly from drive to s3
Rclone can sync between two remote cloud storage systems just fine.
Note that it effectively downloads the file and uploads it again, so the
node running rclone would need to have lots of bandwidth.
The syncs would be incremental (on a file by file basis).
Eg
rclone sync drive:Folder s3:bucket
Using rclone from multiple locations at the same time
You can use rclone from multiple places at the same time if you choose
different subdirectory for the output, eg
Server A> rclone sync /tmp/whatever remote:ServerA
Server B> rclone sync /tmp/whatever remote:ServerB
If you sync to the same directory then you should use rclone copy
otherwise the two rclones may delete each others files, eg
Server A> rclone copy /tmp/whatever remote:Backup
Server B> rclone copy /tmp/whatever remote:Backup
The file names you upload from Server A and Server B should be different
in this case, otherwise some file systems (eg Drive) may make
duplicates.
Why doesn't rclone support partial transfers / binary diffs like rsync?
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 (eg 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.
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.
It would be possible to make a sync system which stored binary diffs
instead of whole objects like rclone does, but that would break the 1:1
mapping of files on your hard disk to objects in the remote cloud
storage system.
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.
Can rclone do bi-directional sync?
No, not at present. rclone only does uni-directional sync from A -> B.
It may do in the future though since it has all the primitives - it just
requires writing the algorithm to do it.
Can I use rclone with an HTTP proxy?
Yes. rclone will use the environment variables HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY
and NO_PROXY, similar to cURL and other programs.
HTTPS_PROXY takes precedence over HTTP_PROXY for https requests.
The environment values may be either a complete URL or a "host[:port]",
in which case the "http" scheme is assumed.
The NO_PROXY 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".
Rclone gives x509: failed to load system roots and no roots provided error
This means that rclone can't file the SSL root certificates. Likely you
are running rclone on a NAS with a cut-down Linux OS, or possibly on
Solaris.
Rclone (via the Go runtime) tries to load the root certificates from
these places on Linux.
"/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt", // Debian/Ubuntu/Gentoo etc.
"/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt", // Fedora/RHEL
"/etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem", // OpenSUSE
"/etc/pki/tls/cacert.pem", // OpenELEC
So doing something like this should fix the problem. It also sets the
time which is important for SSL to work properly.
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
Note that you may need to add the --insecure option to the curl command
line if it doesn't work without.
curl --insecure -o /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bagder/ca-bundle/master/ca-bundle.crt
Rclone gives Failed to load config file: function not implemented error
Likely this means that you are running rclone on Linux version not
supported by the go runtime, ie earlier than version 2.6.23.
See the system requirements section in the go install docs for full
details.
All my uploaded docx/xlsx/pptx files appear as archive/zip
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
