About rclone

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 70 cloud storage products 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.

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 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,
compression, chunking, hashing and joining.

Rclone mounts any local, cloud or virtual filesystem as a disk on
Windows, macOS, linux and FreeBSD, and also serves these over SFTP,
HTTP, WebDAV, FTP and DLNA.

Rclone is mature, open-source software originally inspired by rsync and
written in Go. 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 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.

Install

Rclone is a Go program and comes as a single binary file.

Quickstart

-   Download the relevant binary.
-   Extract the rclone executable, rclone.exe on Windows, from the
    archive.
-   Run rclone config to setup. See rclone config docs for more details.
-   Optionally configure automatic execution.

See below for some expanded Linux / macOS / Windows instructions.

See the usage docs for how to use rclone, or run rclone -h.

Already installed rclone can be easily updated to the latest version
using the rclone selfupdate command.

See the release signing docs for how to verify signatures on the
release.

Script installation

To install rclone on Linux/macOS/BSD systems, run:

    sudo -v ; curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | sudo bash

For beta installation, run:

    sudo -v ; curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | sudo bash -s beta

Note that this script checks the version of rclone installed first and
won't re-download if not needed.

Linux installation

Precompiled binary

Fetch and unpack

    curl -O https://downloads.rclone.org/rclone-current-linux-amd64.zip
    unzip rclone-current-linux-amd64.zip
    cd rclone-*-linux-amd64

Copy binary file

    sudo cp rclone /usr/bin/
    sudo chown root:root /usr/bin/rclone
    sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/rclone

Install manpage

    sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/share/man/man1
    sudo cp rclone.1 /usr/local/share/man/man1/
    sudo mandb

Run rclone config to setup. See rclone config docs for more details.

    rclone config

macOS installation

Installation with brew

    brew install rclone

NOTE: This version of rclone will not support mount any more (see
#5373). If mounting is wanted on macOS, either install a precompiled
binary or enable the relevant option when installing from source.

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.

[Homebrew package]

Precompiled binary, using curl

To avoid problems with macOS gatekeeper enforcing the binary to be
signed and notarized it is enough to download with curl.

Download the latest version of rclone.

    cd && curl -O https://downloads.rclone.org/rclone-current-osx-amd64.zip

Unzip the download and cd to the extracted folder.

    unzip -a rclone-current-osx-amd64.zip && cd rclone-*-osx-amd64

Move rclone to your $PATH. You will be prompted for your password.

    sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
    sudo mv rclone /usr/local/bin/

(the mkdir command is safe to run, even if the directory already
exists).

Remove the leftover files.

    cd .. && rm -rf rclone-*-osx-amd64 rclone-current-osx-amd64.zip

Run rclone config to setup. See rclone config docs for more details.

    rclone config

Precompiled binary, using a web browser

When downloading a binary with a web browser, the browser will set the
macOS gatekeeper quarantine attribute. Starting from Catalina, when
attempting to run rclone, a pop-up will appear saying:

    "rclone" cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.
    macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware.

The simplest fix is to run

    xattr -d com.apple.quarantine rclone

Windows installation

Precompiled binary

Fetch the correct binary for your processor type by clicking on these
links. If not sure, use the first link.

-   Intel/AMD - 64 Bit
-   Intel/AMD - 32 Bit
-   ARM - 64 Bit

Open this file in the Explorer and extract rclone.exe. Rclone is a
portable executable so you can place it wherever is convenient.

Open a CMD window (or powershell) and run the binary. Note that rclone
does not launch a GUI by default, it runs in the CMD Window.

-   Run rclone.exe config to setup. See rclone config docs for more
    details.
-   Optionally configure automatic execution.

If you are planning to use the rclone mount feature then you will need
to install the third party utility WinFsp also.

Windows package manager (Winget)

Winget comes pre-installed with the latest versions of Windows. If not,
update the App Installer package from the Microsoft store.

To install rclone

    winget install Rclone.Rclone

To uninstall rclone

    winget uninstall Rclone.Rclone --force

Chocolatey package manager

Make sure you have Choco installed

    choco search rclone
    choco install rclone

This will install rclone on your Windows machine. If you are planning to
use rclone mount then

    choco install winfsp

will install that too.

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.

[Chocolatey package]

Scoop package manager

Make sure you have Scoop installed

    scoop install rclone

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.

[Scoop package]

Package manager installation

Many Linux, Windows, macOS and other OS distributions package and
distribute rclone.

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.

You can get an idea of how up to date or not your OS distribution's
package is here.

[Packaging status]

Docker installation

The rclone developers maintain a docker image for rclone.

These images are built as part of the release process based on a minimal
Alpine Linux.

The :latest tag will always point to the latest stable release. You can
use the :beta tag to get the latest build from master. You can also use
version tags, e.g. :1.49.1, :1.49 or :1.

    $ 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

There are a few command line options to consider when starting an rclone
Docker container from the rclone image.

-   You need to mount the host rclone config dir at /config/rclone 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.

-   You need to mount a host data dir at /data into the Docker
    container.

-   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.

-   If you want to access the RC interface (either via the API or the
    Web UI), it is required to set the --rc-addr to :5572 in order to
    connect to it from outside the container. An explanation about why
    this is necessary is present here.

    -   NOTE: Users running this container with the docker network set
        to host should probably set it to listen to localhost only, with
        127.0.0.1:5572 as the value for --rc-addr

-   It is possible to use rclone mount inside a userspace Docker
    container, and expose the resulting fuse mount to the host. The
    exact docker run options to do that might vary slightly between
    hosts. See, e.g. the discussion in this thread.

    You also need to mount the host /etc/passwd and /etc/group for fuse
    to work inside the container.

Here are some commands tested on an Ubuntu 18.04.3 host:

    # 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 \
        rclone/rclone \
        mount dropbox:Photos /data/mount &
    ls ~/data/mount
    kill %1

Snap installation

[Get it from the Snap Store]

Make sure you have Snapd installed

    $ sudo snap install rclone

Due to the strict confinement of Snap, rclone snap cannot acess real
/home/$USER/.config/rclone directory, default config path is as below.

-   Default config directory:
    -   /home/$USER/snap/rclone/current/.config/rclone

Note: Due to the strict confinement of Snap, rclone mount feature is not
supported.

If mounting is wanted, either install a precompiled binary or enable the
relevant option when installing from source.

Note that this is controlled by community maintainer not the rclone
developers so it may be out of date. Its current version is as below.

[rclone]

Source installation

Make sure you have git and Go installed. Go version 1.17 or newer is
required, latest release is recommended. You can get it from your
package manager, or download it from golang.org/dl. Then you can run the
following:

    git clone https://github.com/rclone/rclone.git
    cd rclone
    go build

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
./rclone version (.\rclone version on Windows).

Note that on macOS and Windows the mount command will not be available
unless you specify an additional build tag cmount.

    go build -tags cmount

This assumes you have a GCC compatible C compiler (GCC or Clang) in your
PATH, as it uses cgo. But on Windows, the cgofuse library that the
cmount implementation is based on, also supports building without cgo,
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 MSYS2 distribution (make sure you install it in the
classic mingw64 subsystem, the ucrt64 version is not compatible).

Additionally, on Windows, you must install the third party utility
WinFsp, 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
C:\Program Files (x86)\WinFsp\inc\fuse).

You may also add arguments -ldflags -s (with or without -tags cmount),
to omit symbol table and debug information, making the executable file
smaller, and -trimpath to remove references to local file system paths.
This is how the official rclone releases are built.

    go build -trimpath -ldflags -s -tags cmount

Instead of executing the go build command directly, you can run it via
the Makefile. It changes the version number suffix from "-DEV" to
"-beta" and appends commit details. It also copies the resulting rclone
executable into your GOPATH bin folder ($(go env GOPATH)/bin, which
corresponds to ~/go/bin/rclone by default).

    make

To include mount command on macOS and Windows with Makefile build:

    make GOTAGS=cmount

There are other make targets that can be used for more advanced builds,
such as cross-compiling for all supported os/architectures, embedding
icon and version info resources into windows executable, and packaging
results into release artifacts. See Makefile and cross-compile.go for
details.

Another alternative is to download the source, build and install rclone
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 ($(go env GOPATH)/bin, which corresponds to
~/go/bin/rclone by default).

With Go version 1.17 or newer:

    go install github.com/rclone/rclone@latest

With Go versions older than 1.17 (do not use the -u flag, it causes Go
to try to update the dependencies that rclone uses and sometimes these
don't work with the current version):

    go get github.com/rclone/rclone

Ansible installation

This can be done with Stefan Weichinger's ansible role.

Instructions

1.  git clone https://github.com/stefangweichinger/ansible-rclone.git
    into your local roles-directory
2.  add the role to the hosts you want rclone installed to:

        - hosts: rclone-hosts
          roles:
              - rclone

Portable installation

As mentioned above, rclone is single executable (rclone, or rclone.exe
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.

Run the config paths command to see the locations that rclone will use.

To override them set the corresponding options (as command-line
arguments, or as environment variables): - --config - --cache-dir -
--temp-dir

Autostart

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 periodic operations, such as a regular sync, you will
probably want to configure your rclone command in your operating
system's scheduler. If you need to expose service-like features, such as
remote control, GUI, serve or mount, 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.

NOTE: Before setting up autorun it is highly recommended that you have
tested your command manually from a Command Prompt first.

Autostart on Windows

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

Running in background

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 --no-console (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 --log-file for that.

Example command to run a sync in background:

    c:\rclone\rclone.exe sync c:\files remote:/files --no-console --log-file c:\rclone\logs\sync_files.txt

User account

As mentioned in the mount 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 SYSTEM user account, it will create drives accessible for
everyone on the system. Both scheduled task and Windows service can be
used to achieve this.

NOTE: Remember that when rclone runs as the SYSTEM 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 --config option, or
else it will look in the system users profile path
(C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile). To test your command
manually from a Command Prompt, you can run it with the PsExec utility
from Microsoft's Sysinternals suite, which takes option -s to execute
commands as the SYSTEM user.

Start from Startup folder

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
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup, or
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp if you want
the command to start for every user that logs in.

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.

Start from Task Scheduler

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 SYSTEM user. For technical information, see
https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/win32/taskschd/task-scheduler-start-page.

Run as service

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.

Mount command built-in service integration

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 New-Service (requires administrative privileges).

Example of a PowerShell command that creates a Windows service for
mounting some remote:/files as drive letter X:, for all users (service
will be running as the local system account):

    New-Service -Name Rclone -BinaryPathName 'c:\rclone\rclone.exe mount remote:/files X: --config c:\rclone\config\rclone.conf --log-file c:\rclone\logs\mount.txt'

The WinFsp service infrastructure 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 here.

Third-party service integration

To Windows service running any rclone command, the excellent third-party
utility NSSM, 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 ).

There are also several other alternatives. To mention one more, WinSW,
"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 re-use 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).

Autostart on Linux

Start as a service

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.

Run periodically from cron

To run a periodic command, such as a copy/sync, you can set up a cron
job.

Usage

Rclone is a command line program to manage files on cloud storage. After
download and install, continue here to learn how to use it: Initial
configuration, what the basic syntax looks like, describes the various
subcommands, the various options, and more.

Configure

First, you'll need to configure rclone. As the object storage systems
have quite complicated authentication these are kept in a config file.
(See the --config entry for how to find the config file and choose its
location.)

The easiest way to make the config is to run rclone with the config
option:

    rclone config

Basic syntax

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, e.g.
"drive:myfolder" to look at "myfolder" in Google drive.

You can define as many storage paths as you like in the config file.

Please use the --interactive/-i flag while learning rclone to avoid
accidental data loss.

Subcommands

rclone uses a system of subcommands. For example

    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

rclone config

Enter an interactive configuration session.

Synopsis

Enter an interactive configuration session where you can setup new
remotes and manage existing ones. You may also set or remove a password
to protect your configuration.

rclone copy

Copy files from source to dest, skipping identical files.

Synopsis

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
sync command instead.

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.

To copy single files, use the copyto command instead.

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.

See the --no-traverse 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.

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:

    rclone copy --max-age 24h --no-traverse /path/to/src remote:

Note: Use the -P/--progress flag to view real-time transfer statistics.

Note: Use the --dry-run or the --interactive/-i flag to test without
copying anything.

rclone sync

Make source and dest identical, modifying destination only.

Synopsis

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 copy command instead.

Important: Since this can cause data loss, test first with the --dry-run
or the --interactive/-i flag.

    rclone sync --interactive SOURCE remote:DESTINATION

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.

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 copy command if unsure.

If dest:path doesn't exist, it is created and the source:path contents
go there.

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.

Note: Use the -P/--progress flag to view real-time transfer statistics

Note: Use the rclone dedupe command to deal with "Duplicate
object/directory found in source/destination - ignoring" errors. See
this forum post for more info.

rclone move

Move files from source to dest.

Synopsis

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.

To move single files, use the moveto command instead.

If no filters are in use and if possible this will server-side move
source:path into dest:path. After this source:path will no longer exist.

Otherwise for each file in source:path selected by the filters (if any)
this will move it into dest:path. If possible a server-side move will be
used, otherwise it will copy it (server-side if possible) into dest:path
then delete the original (if no errors on copy) in source:path.

If you want to delete empty source directories after move, use the
--delete-empty-src-dirs flag.

See the --no-traverse 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.

Important: Since this can cause data loss, test first with the --dry-run
or the --interactive/-i flag.

Note: Use the -P/--progress flag to view real-time transfer statistics.

rclone delete

Remove the files in path.

Synopsis

Remove the files in path. Unlike purge it obeys include/exclude filters
so can be used to selectively delete files.

rclone delete only deletes files but leaves the directory structure
alone. If you want to delete a directory and all of its contents use the
purge command.

If you supply the --rmdirs flag, it will remove all empty directories
along with it. You can also use the separate command rmdir or rmdirs to
delete empty directories only.

For example, to delete all files bigger than 100 MiB, you may first want
to check what would be deleted (use either):

    rclone --min-size 100M lsl remote:path
    rclone --dry-run --min-size 100M delete remote:path

Then proceed with the actual delete:

    rclone --min-size 100M delete remote:path

That reads "delete everything with a minimum size of 100 MiB", hence
delete all files bigger than 100 MiB.

Important: Since this can cause data loss, test first with the --dry-run
or the --interactive/-i flag.

rclone check

Checks the files in the source and destination match.

Synopsis

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.

For the crypt remote there is a dedicated command, cryptcheck, that are
able to check the checksums of the encrypted files.

If you supply the --size-only flag, it will only compare the sizes not
the hashes as well. Use this for a quick check.

If you supply the --download 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.

If you supply the --checkfile HASH flag with a valid hash name, the
source:path must point to a text file in the SUM format.

If you supply the --one-way 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.

The --differ, --missing-on-dst, --missing-on-src, --match and --error
flags write paths, one per line, to the file name (or stdout if it is -)
supplied. What they write is described in the help below. For example
--differ will write all paths which are present on both the source and
destination but different.

The --combined 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.

-   = path means path was found in source and destination and was
    identical
-   `- path` means path was missing on the source, so only in the
    destination
-   `+ path` means path was missing on the destination, so only in the
    source
-   `* path` means path was present in source and destination but
    different.
-   ! path means there was an error reading or hashing the source or
    dest.

The default number of parallel checks is 8. See the --checkers=N option
for more information.

          --download                Check by downloading rather than with hash

rclone ls

List the objects in the path with size and path.

Synopsis

Lists the objects in the source path to standard output in a human
readable format with size and path. Recurses by default.

Eg

    $ rclone ls swift:bucket
        60295 bevajer5jef
        90613 canole
        94467 diwogej7
        37600 fubuwic

Any of the filtering options can be applied to this command.

There are several related list commands

-   ls to list size and path of objects only
-   lsl to list modification time, size and path of objects only
-   lsd to list directories only
-   lsf to list objects and directories in easy to parse format
-   lsjson to list objects and directories in JSON format

ls,lsl,lsd are designed to be human-readable. lsf is designed to be
human and machine-readable. lsjson is designed to be machine-readable.

Note that ls and lsl recurse by default - use --max-depth 1 to stop the
recursion.

The other list commands lsd,lsf,lsjson do not recurse by default - use
-R to make them recurse.

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).

rclone lsd

List all directories/containers/buckets in the path.

Synopsis

Lists the directories in the source path to standard output. Does not
recurse by default. Use the -R flag to recurse.

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

    $ rclone lsd swift:
          494000 2018-04-26 08:43:20     10000 10000files
              65 2018-04-26 08:43:20         1 1File

Or

    $ rclone lsd drive:test
              -1 2016-10-17 17:41:53        -1 1000files
              -1 2017-01-03 14:40:54        -1 2500files
              -1 2017-07-08 14:39:28        -1 4000files

If you just want the directory names use rclone lsf --dirs-only.

Any of the filtering options can be applied to this command.

There are several related list commands

-   ls to list size and path of objects only
-   lsl to list modification time, size and path of objects only
-   lsd to list directories only
-   lsf to list objects and directories in easy to parse format
-   lsjson to list objects and directories in JSON format

ls,lsl,lsd are designed to be human-readable. lsf is designed to be
human and machine-readable. lsjson is designed to be machine-readable.

Note that ls and lsl recurse by default - use --max-depth 1 to stop the
recursion.

The other list commands lsd,lsf,lsjson do not recurse by default - use
-R to make them recurse.

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).

rclone md5sum

Produces an md5sum file for all the objects in the path.

Synopsis

Produces an md5sum file for all the objects in the path. This is in the
same format as the standard md5sum tool produces.

By default, the hash is requested from the remote. If MD5 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 MD5 for any remote.

For other algorithms, see the hashsum command. Running
rclone md5sum remote:path is equivalent to running
rclone hashsum MD5 remote:path.

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).

rclone size

Prints the total size and number of objects in remote:path.

Synopsis

Counts objects in the path and calculates the total size. Prints the
result to standard output.

By default the output is in human-readable format, but shows values in
both human-readable format as well as the raw numbers (global option
--human-readable is not considered). Use option --json to format output
as JSON instead.

Recurses by default, use --max-depth 1 to stop the recursion.

Some backends do not always provide file sizes, see for example Google
Photos and Google Docs. Rclone will then show a notice in the log
indicating how many such files were encountered, and count them in as
empty files in the output of the size command.

rclone version

Show the version number.

Synopsis

Show the rclone version number, the go version, the build target OS and
architecture, the runtime OS and kernel version and bitness, build tags
and the type of executable (static or dynamic).

For example:

    $ rclone version
    rclone v1.55.0
    - os/version: ubuntu 18.04 (64 bit)
    - os/kernel: 4.15.0-136-generic (x86_64)
    - os/type: linux
    - os/arch: amd64
    - go/version: go1.16
    - go/linking: static
    - go/tags: none

Note: before rclone version 1.55 the os/type and os/arch lines were
merged, and the "go/version" line was tagged as "go version".

If you supply the --check flag, then it will do an online check to
compare your version with the latest release and the latest beta.

    $ rclone version --check
    yours:  1.42.0.6
    latest: 1.42          (released 2018-06-16)

rclone dedupe

Interactively find duplicate filenames and delete/rename them.

Synopsis

By default dedupe 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.

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.

However if --by-hash 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.

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.

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 dedupe
command will not be interactive.

dedupe 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 --size-only 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.

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.

Important: Since this can cause data loss, test first with the --dry-run
or the --interactive/-i flag.

Here is an example run.

Before - with duplicates

Dedupe can be run non interactively using the --dedupe-mode flag or by
using an extra parameter with the same value

-   --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 largest - removes identical files then keeps the
    largest one.
-   --dedupe-mode smallest - removes identical files then keeps the
    smallest one.
-   --dedupe-mode rename - removes identical files then renames the rest
    to be different.
-   --dedupe-mode list - lists duplicate dirs and files only and changes
    nothing.

For example, to rename all the identically named photos in your Google
Photos directory, do

    rclone dedupe --dedupe-mode rename "drive:Google Photos"

Or

    rclone dedupe rename "drive:Google Photos"

    rclone dedupe [mode] remote:path [flags]

rclone about

Get quota information from the remote.

Synopsis

rclone about prints quota information about a remote to standard output.
The output is typically used, free, quota and trash contents.

E.g. Typical output from rclone about remote: is:

    Total:   17 GiB
    Used:    7.444 GiB
    Free:    1.315 GiB
    Trashed: 100.000 MiB
    Other:   8.241 GiB

Where the fields are:

-   Total: Total size available.
-   Used: Total size used.
-   Free: Total space available to this user.
-   Trashed: Total space used by trash.
-   Other: Total amount in other storage (e.g. Gmail, Google Photos).
-   Objects: Total number of objects in the storage.

All sizes are in number of bytes.

Applying a --full flag to the command prints the bytes in full, e.g.

    Total:   18253611008
    Used:    7993453766
    Free:    1411001220
    Trashed: 104857602
    Other:   8849156022

A --json flag generates conveniently machine-readable output, e.g.

    {
        "total": 18253611008,
        "used": 7993453766,
        "trashed": 104857602,
        "other": 8849156022,
        "free": 1411001220
    }

Not all backends print all fields. Information is not included if it is
not provided by a backend. Where the value is unlimited it is omitted.

Some backends does not support the rclone about command at all, see
complete list in documentation.

for "help" and "features") are defined by the backends and you should
see the backend docs for definitions.

You can discover what commands a backend implements by using

    rclone backend help remote:
    rclone backend help <backendname>

You can also discover information about the backend using (see
operations/fsinfo in the remote control docs for more info).

    rclone backend features remote:

Pass options to the backend command with -o. This should be key=value or
key, e.g.:

    rclone backend stats remote:path stats -o format=json -o long

Pass arguments to the backend by placing them on the end of the line

    rclone backend cleanup remote:path file1 file2 file3

Note to run these commands on a running backend then see backend/command
in the rc docs.

    rclone backend <command> remote:path [opts] <args> [flags]

rclone bisync

Perform bidirectional synchronization between two paths.

Synopsis

Perform bidirectional synchronization between two paths.

Bisync 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 New, Newer, Older, and Deleted
files. - Propagate changes on Path1 to Path2, and vice-versa.

See full bisync description for details.

    rclone bisync remote1:path1 remote2:path2 [flags]

Options

          --check-access              Ensure expected RCLONE_TEST files are found on both Path1 and Path2 filesystems, else abort.

rclone cat

Concatenates any files and sends them to stdout.

Synopsis

rclone cat sends any files to standard output.

You can use it like this to output a single file

    rclone cat remote:path/to/file

Or like this to output any file in dir or its subdirectories.

    rclone cat remote:path/to/dir

Or like this to output any .txt files in dir or its subdirectories.

    rclone --include "*.txt" cat remote:path/to/dir

Use the --head flag to print characters only at the start, --tail for
the end and --offset and --count to print a section in the middle. Note
that if offset is negative it will count from the end, so
--offset -1 --count 1 is equivalent to --tail 1.

Use the --separator flag to print a separator value between files. Be
sure to shell-escape special characters. For example, to print a newline
between files, use:

-   bash:

        rclone --include "*.txt" --separator $'\n' cat remote:path/to/dir

-   powershell:

        rclone --include "*.txt" --separator "`n" cat remote:path/to/dir

    rclone cat remote:path [flags]

Options

          --count int          Only print N characters (default -1)
          --discard            Discard the output instead of printing
          --head int           Only print the first N characters
      -h, --help               help for cat
          --offset int         Start printing at offset N (or from end if -ve)
          --separator string   Separator to use between objects when printing multiple files
          --tail int           Only print the last N characters

rclone checksum

Checks the files in the source against a SUM file.

Synopsis

Checks that hashsums of source 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.

If you supply the --download flag, it will download the data from remote
and calculate the contents 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.

Note that hash values in the SUM file are treated as case insensitive.

If you supply the --one-way 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.

The --differ, --missing-on-dst, --missing-on-src, --match and --error
flags write paths, one per line, to the file name (or stdout if it is -)
supplied. What they write is described in the help below. For example
--differ will write all paths which are present on both the source and
destination but different.

The --combined 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.

-   = path means path was found in source and destination and was
    identical
-   `- path` means path was missing on the source, so only in the
    destination
-   `+ path` means path was missing on the destination, so only in the
    source
-   `* path` means path was present in source and destination but
    different.
-   ! path means there was an error reading or hashing the source or
    dest.

The default number of parallel checks is 8. See the --checkers=N option
for more information.

rclone config create

Create a new remote with name, type and options.

Synopsis

Create a new remote of name with type and options. The options should be
passed in pairs of key value or as key=value.

For example, to make a swift remote of name myremote using auto config
you would do:

    rclone config create myremote swift env_auth true
    rclone config create myremote swift env_auth=true

So for example if you wanted to configure a Google Drive remote but
using remote authorization you would do this:

    rclone config create mydrive drive config_is_local=false

Note that if the config process would normally ask a question the
default is taken (unless --non-interactive is used). Each time that
happens rclone will print or DEBUG a message saying how to affect the
value taken.

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.

NB 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 --obscure flag, or if you are 100% certain you are
already passing obscured passwords then use --no-obscure. You can also
set obscured passwords using the rclone config password command.

The flag --non-interactive 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.

This will look something like (some irrelevant detail removed):

    {
        "State": "*oauth-islocal,teamdrive,,",
        "Option": {
            "Name": "config_is_local",
            "Help": "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",
            "Default": true,
            "Examples": [
                {
                    "Value": "true",
                    "Help": "Yes"
                },
                {
                    "Value": "false",
                    "Help": "No"
                }
            ],
            "Required": false,
            "IsPassword": false,
            "Type": "bool",
            "Exclusive": true,
        },
        "Error": "",
    }

The format of Option is the same as returned by rclone config providers.
The question should be asked to the user and returned to rclone as the
--result option along with the --state parameter.

The keys of Option are used as follows:

-   Name - name of variable - show to user
-   Help - help text. Hard wrapped at 80 chars. Any URLs should be
    clicky.
-   Default - default value - return this if the user just wants the
    default.
-   Examples - the user should be able to choose one of these
-   Required - the value should be non-empty
-   IsPassword - the value is a password and should be edited as such
-   Type - type of value, eg bool, string, int and others
-   Exclusive - if set no free-form entry allowed only the Examples
-   Irrelevant keys Provider, ShortOpt, Hide, NoPrefix, Advanced

If Error is set then it should be shown to the user at the same time as
the question.

    rclone config update name --continue --state "*oauth-islocal,teamdrive,," --result "true"

Note that when using --continue all passwords should be passed in the
clear (not obscured). Any default config values should be passed in with
each invocation of --continue.

At the end of the non interactive process, rclone will return a result
with State as empty string.

If --all 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.

Note that bin/config.py in the rclone source implements this protocol as
a readable demonstration.

you would do:

    rclone config update myremote env_auth true
    rclone config update myremote env_auth=true

If the remote uses OAuth the token will be updated, if you don't require
this add an extra parameter thus:

    rclone config update myremote env_auth=true config_refresh_token=false

Note that if the config process would normally ask a question the
default is taken (unless --non-interactive is used). Each time that
happens rclone will print or DEBUG a message saying how to affect the
value taken.

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.

NB 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 --obscure flag, or if you are 100% certain you are
already passing obscured passwords then use --no-obscure. You can also
set obscured passwords using the rclone config password command.

The flag --non-interactive 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.

This will look something like (some irrelevant detail removed):

    {
        "State": "*oauth-islocal,teamdrive,,",
        "Option": {
            "Name": "config_is_local",
            "Help": "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",
            "Default": true,
            "Examples": [
                {
                    "Value": "true",
                    "Help": "Yes"
                },
                {
                    "Value": "false",
                    "Help": "No"
                }
            ],
            "Required": false,
            "IsPassword": false,
            "Type": "bool",
            "Exclusive": true,
        },
        "Error": "",
    }

The format of Option is the same as returned by rclone config providers.
The question should be asked to the user and returned to rclone as the
--result option along with the --state parameter.

The keys of Option are used as follows:

-   Name - name of variable - show to user
-   Help - help text. Hard wrapped at 80 chars. Any URLs should be
    clicky.
-   Default - default value - return this if the user just wants the
    default.
-   Examples - the user should be able to choose one of these
-   Required - the value should be non-empty
-   IsPassword - the value is a password and should be edited as such
-   Type - type of value, eg bool, string, int and others
-   Exclusive - if set no free-form entry allowed only the Examples
-   Irrelevant keys Provider, ShortOpt, Hide, NoPrefix, Advanced

If Error is set then it should be shown to the user at the same time as
the question.

    rclone config update name --continue --state "*oauth-islocal,teamdrive,," --result "true"

Note that when using --continue all passwords should be passed in the
clear (not obscured). Any default config values should be passed in with
each invocation of --continue.

At the end of the non interactive process, rclone will return a result
with State as empty string.

If --all 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.

Note that bin/config.py in the rclone source implements this protocol as
a readable demonstration.

    rclone config update name [key value]+ [flags]

Options

rclone copyto

Copy files from source to dest, skipping identical files.

Synopsis

If source:path is a file or directory then it copies it to a file or
directory named dest:path.

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 copy
command.

So

    rclone copyto src dst

where src and dst are rclone paths, either remote:path or /path/to/local
or C:.

This will:

    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

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.

Note: Use the -P/--progress flag to view real-time transfer statistics

rclone copyurl

Copy url content to dest.

Synopsis

Download a URL's content and copy it to the destination without saving
it in temporary storage.

Setting --auto-filename will attempt to automatically determine the
filename from the URL (after any redirections) and used in the
destination path. With --auto-filename-header in addition, if a specific
filename is set in HTTP headers, it will be used instead of the name
from the URL. With --print-filename in addition, the resulting file name
will be printed.

Setting --no-clobber will prevent overwriting file on the destination if
there is one with the same name.

Setting --stdout or making the output file name - will cause the output
to be written to standard output.

    rclone copyurl https://example.com dest:path [flags]

Options

      -a, --auto-filename     Get the file name from the URL and use it for destination file path
          --header-filename   Get the file name from the Content-Disposition header
      -h, --help              help for copyurl
          --no-clobber        Prevent overwriting file with same name

rclone cryptcheck

Cryptcheck checks the integrity of an encrypted remote.

Synopsis

rclone cryptcheck checks a remote against a crypted remote. This is the
equivalent of running rclone check, but able to check the checksums of
the encrypted remote.

For it to work the underlying remote of the cryptedremote must support
some kind of checksum.

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.

Use it like this

    rclone cryptcheck /path/to/files encryptedremote:path

You can use it like this also, but that will involve downloading all the
files in remote:path.

    rclone cryptcheck remote:path encryptedremote:path

After it has run it will log the status of the encryptedremote:.

If you supply the --one-way 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.

The --differ, --missing-on-dst, --missing-on-src, --match and --error
flags write paths, one per line, to the file name (or stdout if it is -)
supplied. What they write is described in the help below. For example
--differ will write all paths which are present on both the source and
destination but different.

The --combined 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.

-   = path means path was found in source and destination and was
    identical
-   `- path` means path was missing on the source, so only in the
    destination
-   `+ path` means path was missing on the destination, so only in the
    source
-   `* path` means path was present in source and destination but
    different.
-   ! path means there was an error reading or hashing the source or
    dest.

The default number of parallel checks is 8. See the --checkers=N option
for more information.

rclone cryptdecode

Cryptdecode returns unencrypted file names.

Synopsis

rclone cryptdecode returns unencrypted file names when provided with a
list of encrypted file names. List limit is 10 items.

If you supply the --reverse flag, it will return encrypted file names.

use it like this

    rclone cryptdecode encryptedremote: encryptedfilename1 encryptedfilename2

    rclone cryptdecode --reverse encryptedremote: filename1 filename2

Another way to accomplish this is by using the rclone backend encode (or
decode) command. See the documentation on the crypt overlay for more
info.

rclone hashsum

Produces a hashsum file for all the objects in the path.

Synopsis

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.

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.

For the MD5 and SHA1 algorithms there are also dedicated commands,
md5sum and sha1sum.

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).

Run without a hash to see the list of all supported hashes, e.g.

    $ rclone hashsum
    Supported hashes are:
      * md5
      * sha1
      * whirlpool
      * crc32
      * sha256
      * dropbox
      * hidrive
      * mailru
      * quickxor

Then

    $ rclone hashsum MD5 remote:path

Note that hash names are case insensitive and values are output in lower
case.

    rclone hashsum <hash> remote:path [flags]

Options

          --base64               Output base64 encoded hashsum
      -C, --checkfile string     Validate hashes against a given SUM file instead of printing them
          --download             Download the file and hash it locally; if this flag is not specified, the hash is requested from the remote
      -h, --help                 help for hashsum
          --output-file string   Output hashsums to a file rather than the terminal

rclone link

Generate public link to file/folder.

Synopsis

rclone link will create, retrieve or remove a public link to the given
file or folder.

    rclone link remote:path/to/file
    rclone link remote:path/to/folder/
    rclone link --unlink remote:path/to/folder/
    rclone link --expire 1d remote:path/to/file

If you supply the --expire flag, it will set the expiration time
otherwise it will use the default (100 years). Note not all backends
support the --expire flag - if the backend doesn't support it then the
link returned won't expire.

Use the --unlink flag to remove existing public links to the file or
folder. Note not all backends support "--unlink" flag - those that don't
will just ignore it.

If successful, the last line of the output will contain the link. Exact
capabilities depend on the remote, but the link will always by default
be created with the least constraints – e.g. no expiry, no password
protection, accessible without account.

    rclone link remote:path [flags]

Options

          --expire Duration   The amount of time that the link will be valid (default off)
      -h, --help              help for link
          --unlink            Remove existing public link to file/folder

When used with the --long flag it lists the types too.

    rclone listremotes [flags]

Options

      -h, --help   help for listremotes
          --long   Show the type as well as names

rclone lsf

List directories and objects in remote:path formatted for parsing.

Synopsis

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.

Eg

    $ rclone lsf swift:bucket
    bevajer5jef
    canole
    diwogej7
    ferejej3gux/
    fubuwic

Use the --format option to control what gets listed. By default this is
just the path, but you can use these parameters to control the output:

    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. "Hot" or "Cool"
    M - Metadata of object in JSON blob format, eg {"key":"value"}

So if you wanted the path, size and modification time, you would use
--format "pst", or maybe --format "tsp" to put the path last.

Eg

    $ rclone lsf  --format "tsp" 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

If you specify "h" in the format you will get the MD5 hash by default,
use the --hash 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.

For example, to emulate the md5sum command you can use

    rclone lsf -R --hash MD5 --format hp --separator "  " --files-only .

Eg

    $ rclone lsf -R --hash MD5 --format hp --separator "  " --files-only swift:bucket
    7908e352297f0f530b84a756f188baa3  bevajer5jef
    cd65ac234e6fea5925974a51cdd865cc  canole
    03b5341b4f234b9d984d03ad076bae91  diwogej7
    8fd37c3810dd660778137ac3a66cc06d  fubuwic
    99713e14a4c4ff553acaf1930fad985b  gixacuh7ku

(Though "rclone md5sum ." is an easier way of typing this.)

By default the separator is ";" this can be changed with the --separator
flag. Note that separators aren't escaped in the path so putting it last
is a good strategy.

Eg

    $ rclone lsf  --separator "," --format "tshp" swift:bucket
    2016-06-25 18:55:41,60295,7908e352297f0f530b84a756f188baa3,bevajer5jef

    2016-06-25 18:55:40,37600,8fd37c3810dd660778137ac3a66cc06d,fubuwic

You can output in CSV standard format. This will escape things in " if
they contain ,

Eg

    $ rclone lsf --csv --files-only --format ps remote:path
    test.log,22355
    test.sh,449
    "this file contains a comma, in the file name.txt",6

Note that the --absolute parameter is useful for making lists of files
to pass to an rclone copy with the --files-from-raw flag.

For example, to find all the files modified within one day and copy
those only (without traversing the whole directory structure):

    rclone lsf --absolute --files-only --max-age 1d /path/to/local > new_files
    rclone copy --files-from-raw new_files /path/to/local remote:path

Any of the filtering options can be applied to this command.

There are several related list commands

-   ls to list size and path of objects only
-   lsl to list modification time, size and path of objects only
-   lsd to list directories only
-   lsf to list objects and directories in easy to parse format
-   lsjson to list objects and directories in JSON format

ls,lsl,lsd are designed to be human-readable. lsf is designed to be
human and machine-readable. lsjson is designed to be machine-readable.

Note that ls and lsl recurse by default - use --max-depth 1 to stop the
recursion.

The other list commands lsd,lsf,lsjson do not recurse by default - use
-R to make them recurse.

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).

    rclone lsf remote:path [flags]

Options

          --absolute           Put a leading / in front of path names
          --csv                Output in CSV format
      -d, --dir-slash          Append a slash to directory names (default true)
          --dirs-only          Only list directories
          --files-only         Only list files
      -F, --format string      Output format - see  help for details (default "p")
          --hash h             Use this hash when h is used in the format MD5|SHA-1|DropboxHash (default "md5")
      -h, --help               help for lsf
      -R, --recursive          Recurse into the listing
      -s, --separator string   Separator for the items in the format (default ";")

rclone lsjson

List directories and objects in the path in JSON format.

Synopsis

List directories and objects in the path in JSON format.

The output is an array of Items, where each Item looks like this

    {
      "Hashes" : {
         "SHA-1" : "f572d396fae9206628714fb2ce00f72e94f2258f",
         "MD5" : "b1946ac92492d2347c6235b4d2611184",
         "DropboxHash" : "ecb65bb98f9d905b70458986c39fcbad7715e5f2fcc3b1f07767d7c83e2438cc"
      },
      "ID": "y2djkhiujf83u33",
      "OrigID": "UYOJVTUW00Q1RzTDA",
      "IsBucket" : false,
      "IsDir" : false,
      "MimeType" : "application/octet-stream",
      "ModTime" : "2017-05-31T16:15:57.034468261+01:00",
      "Name" : "file.txt",
      "Encrypted" : "v0qpsdq8anpci8n929v3uu9338",
      "EncryptedPath" : "kja9098349023498/v0qpsdq8anpci8n929v3uu9338",
      "Path" : "full/path/goes/here/file.txt",
      "Size" : 6,
      "Tier" : "hot",
    }

If --hash is not specified the Hashes property won't be emitted. The
types of hash can be specified with the --hash-type parameter (which may
be repeated). If --hash-type is set then it implies --hash.

If --no-modtime 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).

If --no-mimetype 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).

If --encrypted is not specified the Encrypted won't be emitted.

If --dirs-only is not specified files in addition to directories are
returned

If --files-only is not specified directories in addition to the files
will be returned.

If --metadata is set then an additional Metadata key will be returned.
This will have metadata in rclone standard format as a JSON object.

if --stat is set then 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.

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 --recursive the Path
will always be the same as Name.

If the directory is a bucket in a bucket-based backend, then "IsBucket"
will be set to true. This key won't be present unless it is "true".

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").

The whole output can be processed as a JSON blob, or alternatively it
can be processed line by line as each item is written one to a line.

Any of the filtering options can be applied to this command.

There are several related list commands

-   ls to list size and path of objects only
-   lsl to list modification time, size and path of objects only

rclone mount

Mount the remote as file system on a mountpoint.

Synopsis

rclone mount allows Linux, FreeBSD, macOS and Windows to mount any of
Rclone's cloud storage systems as a file system with FUSE.

First set up your remote using rclone config. Check it works with
rclone ls etc.

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
--daemon flag to force background mode. On Windows you can run mount in
foreground only, the flag is ignored.

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).

On Linux/macOS/FreeBSD start the mount like this, where
/path/to/local/mount is an empty existing directory:

    rclone mount remote:path/to/files /path/to/local/mount

On Windows you can start a mount in different ways. See below 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.

The following examples will mount to an automatically assigned drive, to
specific drive letter X:, to path C:\path\parent\mount (where parent
directory or drive must exist, and mount must not exist, and is not
supported when mounting as a network drive), and the last example will
mount as network share \\cloud\remote and map it to an automatically
assigned drive:

    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

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.

When running in background mode the user will have to stop the mount
manually:

    # Linux
    fusermount -u /path/to/local/mount
    # OS X
    umount /path/to/local/mount

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.

The size of the mounted file system will be set according to information
retrieved from the remote, the same as returned by the rclone about
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 support the about feature at all, then 1 PiB is set as both the
total and the free size.

Installing on Windows

To run rclone mount on Windows, you will need to download and install
WinFsp.

WinFsp 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 cgofuse. Both of
these packages are by Bill Zissimopoulos who was very helpful during the
implementation of rclone mount for Windows.

Mounting modes on windows

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.

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.

When mounting as a fixed disk drive you can either mount to an unused
drive letter, or to a path representing a nonexistent subdirectory of an
existing parent directory or drive. Using the special value * will tell
rclone to automatically assign the next available drive letter, starting
with Z: and moving backward. Examples:

    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:

Option --volname can be used to set a custom volume name for the mounted
file system. The default is to use the remote name and path.

To mount as network drive, you can add option --network-mode 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.

    rclone mount remote:path/to/files X: --network-mode

A volume name specified with --volname will be used to create the
network share path. A complete UNC path, such as \\cloud\remote,
optionally with path \\cloud\remote\madeup\path, will be used as is. Any
other string will be used as the share part, after a default prefix
\\server\. If no volume name is specified then \\server\share 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 \\server\share will be reported as the
remote UNC path by net use etc, just like a normal network drive
mapping.

If you specify a full network share UNC path with --volname, this will
implicitly set the --network-mode option, so the following two examples
have same result:

    rclone mount remote:path/to/files X: --network-mode
    rclone mount remote:path/to/files X: --volname \\server\share

You may also specify the network share UNC path as the mountpoint
itself. Then rclone will automatically assign a drive letter, same as
with * and use that as mountpoint, and instead use the UNC path
specified as the volume name, as if it were specified with the --volname
option. This will also implicitly set the --network-mode option. This
means the following two examples have same result:

    rclone mount remote:path/to/files \\cloud\remote
    rclone mount remote:path/to/files * --volname \\cloud\remote

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:
--fuse-flag --VolumePrefix=\server\share. Note that the path must be
with just a single backslash prefix in this case.

Note: In previous versions of rclone this was the only supported method.

Windows filesystem permissions

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).

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.
-o UserName=user123 -o GroupName="Authenticated Users". The permissions
on each entry will be set according to options --dir-perms and
--file-perms, which takes a value in traditional Unix numeric notation.

The default permissions corresponds to
--file-perms 0666 --dir-perms 0777, 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.
--file-perms 0777 --dir-perms 0777 to add it to everyone. If the program
needs to write files, chances are you will have to enable VFS File
Caching as well (see also limitations). 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.

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.

WinFsp 2021 (version 1.9) introduced a new FUSE option "FileSecurity",
that allows the complete specification of file security descriptors
using SDDL. 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.

If you set POSIX permissions for only allowing access to the owner,
using --file-perms 0600 --dir-perms 0700, 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 -o FileSecurity="D:P(A;;FA;;;OW)", which sets file all access
(FA) to the owner (OW), and nothing else.

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
-o FileSecurity="D:P(A;;FRFW;;;WD)", which sets file read (FR) and file
write (FW) to everyone (WD). If file execute (FX) is also needed, then
change to -o FileSecurity="D:P(A;;FRFWFX;;;WD)", or set file all access
(FA) to get full access permissions, including delete, with
-o FileSecurity="D:P(A;;FA;;;WD)".

Windows caveats

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.

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.

To make mapped drives available to the user account that created them
regardless if elevated or not, there is a special Windows setting called
linked connections that can be enabled.

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 PsExec, from Microsoft's Sysinternals suite, which
has option -s 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 WinFsp.Launcher infrastructure). Read more in
the install documentation. 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 --config 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.

Note that mapping to a directory path, instead of a drive letter, does
not suffer from the same limitations.

Mounting on macOS

Mounting on macOS can be done either via macFUSE (also known as osxfuse)
or FUSE-T. 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.

macFUSE Notes

If installing macFUSE using dmg packages from the website, rclone will
locate the macFUSE libraries without any further intervention. If
however, macFUSE is installed using the macports package manager, the
following addition steps are required.

    sudo mkdir /usr/local/lib
    cd /usr/local/lib
    sudo ln -s /opt/local/lib/libfuse.2.dylib

FUSE-T Limitations, Caveats, and Notes

There are some limitations, caveats, and notes about how it works. These
are current as of FUSE-T version 1.0.14.

ModTime update on read

As per the FUSE-T wiki:

  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

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.

Unicode Normalization

Rclone includes flags for unicode normalization with macFUSE that should
be updated for FUSE-T. See this forum post and FUSE-T issue #16. The
following flag should be added to the rclone mount command.

    -o modules=iconv,from_code=UTF-8,to_code=UTF-8

Read Only mounts

When mounting with --read-only, attempts to write to files will fail
silently as opposed to with a clear warning as in macFUSE.

Limitations

Without the use of --vfs-cache-mode 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
--vfs-cache-mode writes or --vfs-cache-mode full. See the VFS File
Caching section for more info.

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.

When rclone mount is invoked on Unix with --daemon flag, the main rclone
program will wait for the background mount to become ready or until the
timeout specified by the --daemon-wait flag. On Linux it can check mount
status using ProcFS so the flag in fact sets maximum 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.

Only supported on Linux, FreeBSD, OS X and Windows at the moment.

rclone mount vs rclone sync/copy

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 VFS File Caching for solutions to make mount more reliable.

Attribute caching

You can use the flag --attr-timeout to set the time the kernel caches
the attributes (size, modification time, etc.) for directory entries.

The default is 1s which caches files just long enough to avoid too many
callbacks to rclone from the kernel.

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 rclone using too much memory, rclone not serving
files to samba and excessive time listing directories.

The kernel can cache the info about a file for the time given by
--attr-timeout. 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 --attr-timeout 1s this is very unlikely
but not impossible. The higher you set --attr-timeout the more likely it
is. The default setting of "1s" is the lowest setting which mitigates
the problems above.

If you set it higher (10s or 1m 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.

If files don't change on the remote outside of the control of rclone
then there is no chance of corruption.

This is the same as setting the attr_timeout option in mount.fuse.

Filters

Note that all the rclone filters can be used to select a subset of the
files to be visible in the mount.

systemd

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.

Note that systemd runs mount units without any environment variables
including PATH or HOME. This means that tilde (~) expansion will not
work and you should provide --config and --cache-dir explicitly as
absolute paths via rclone arguments. Since mounting requires the
fusermount program, rclone will use the fallback PATH of /bin:/usr/bin
in this scenario. Please ensure that fusermount is present on this PATH.

Rclone as Unix mount helper

The core Unix program /bin/mount normally takes the -t FSTYPE argument
then runs the /sbin/mount.FSTYPE helper program passing it mount options
as -o key=val,... or --opt=.... Automount (classic or systemd) behaves
in a similar way.

rclone by default expects GNU-style flags --key val. To run it as a
mount helper you should symlink rclone binary to /sbin/mount.rclone and
optionally /usr/bin/rclonefs, e.g.
ln -s /usr/bin/rclone /sbin/mount.rclone. rclone will detect it and
translate command-line arguments appropriately.

Now you can run classic mounts like this:

    mount sftp1:subdir /mnt/data -t rclone -o vfs_cache_mode=writes,sftp_key_file=/path/to/pem

or create systemd mount units:

    # /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

optionally accompanied by systemd automount unit

    # /etc/systemd/system/mnt-data.automount
    [Unit]
    Description=AutoMount for /mnt/data
    [Automount]
    Where=/mnt/data
    TimeoutIdleSec=600
    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target

or add in /etc/fstab a line like

    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

or use classic Automountd. Remember to provide explicit
config=...,cache-dir=... as a workaround for mount units being run
without HOME.

Rclone in the mount helper mode will split -o argument(s) by comma,
replace _ by - and prepend -- 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.

Mount option syntax includes a few extra options treated specially:

-   env.NAME=VALUE 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 env.HTTPS_PROXY=proxy.host:3128 or env.HOME=/root
-   command=cmount can be used to run cmount or any other rclone command
    rather than the default mount.
-   args2env 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 ps or
    pgrep.
-   vv... will be transformed into appropriate --verbose=N
-   standard mount options like x-systemd.automount, _netdev, nosuid and
    alike are intended only for Automountd and ignored by rclone.

VFS - Virtual File System

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.

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.

The VFS layer also implements a directory cache - this caches info about
files and directories (but not the data) in memory.

VFS Directory Cache

Using the --dir-cache-time 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.

    --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)

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.

You can send a SIGHUP 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:

    kill -SIGHUP $(pidof rclone)

If you configure rclone with a remote control then you can use rclone rc
to flush the whole directory cache:

    rclone rc vfs/forget

Or individual files or directories:

    rclone rc vfs/forget file=path/to/file dir=path/to/dir

VFS File Buffering

The --buffer-size flag determines the amount of memory, that will be
used to buffer data in advance.

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.

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.

The maximum memory used by rclone for buffering can be up to
--buffer-size * open files.

VFS File Caching

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.

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.

Note that the VFS cache is separate from the cache backend and you may
find that you need one or the other or both.

    --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)

If run with -vv 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 --cache-dir or setting the appropriate
environment variable.

The cache has 4 different modes selected by --vfs-cache-mode. The higher
the cache mode the more compatible rclone becomes at the cost of using
disk space.

Note that files are written back to the remote only when they are closed
and if they haven't been accessed for --vfs-write-back 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.

If using --vfs-cache-max-size or --vfs-cache-min-free-size note that the
cache may exceed these quotas for two reasons. Firstly because it is
only checked every --vfs-cache-poll-interval. Secondly because open
files cannot be evicted from the cache. When --vfs-cache-max-size or
--vfs-cache-min-free-size 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.

The --vfs-cache-max-age 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 .

You should not run two copies of rclone using the same VFS cache with
the same or overlapping remotes if using --vfs-cache-mode > off. This
can potentially cause data corruption if you do. You can work around
this by giving each rclone its own cache hierarchy with --cache-dir. You
don't need to worry about this if the remotes in use don't overlap.

--vfs-cache-mode off

In this mode (the default) the cache will read directly from the remote
and write directly to the remote without caching anything on disk.

This will mean some operations are not possible

-   Files can't be opened for both read AND write
-   Files opened for write can't be seeked
-   Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set
-   Files open for read with O_TRUNC will be opened write only
-   Files open for write only will behave as if O_TRUNC was supplied
-   Open modes O_APPEND, O_TRUNC are ignored
-   If an upload fails it can't be retried

--vfs-cache-mode minimal

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.

These operations are not possible

-   Files opened for write only can't be seeked
-   Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set
-   Files opened for write only will ignore O_APPEND, O_TRUNC
-   If an upload fails it can't be retried

--vfs-cache-mode writes

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.

This mode should support all normal file system operations.

If an upload fails it will be retried at exponentially increasing
intervals up to 1 minute.

--vfs-cache-mode full

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.

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.

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.

This mode should support all normal file system operations and is
otherwise identical to --vfs-cache-mode writes.

When reading a file rclone will read --buffer-size plus --vfs-read-ahead
bytes ahead. The --buffer-size is buffered in memory whereas the
--vfs-read-ahead is buffered on disk.

When using this mode it is recommended that --buffer-size is not set too
large and --vfs-read-ahead is set large if required.

IMPORTANT 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.

Fingerprinting

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:

-   size
-   modification time
-   hash

where available on an object.

On some backends some of these attributes are slow to read (they take an
extra API call per object, or extra work per object).

For example hash is slow with the local and sftp backends as they have
to read the entire file and hash it, and modtime is slow with the s3,
swift, ftp and qinqstor backends because they need to do an extra API
call to fetch it.

If you use the --vfs-fast-fingerprint 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.

If you are running a vfs cache over local, s3 or swift backends then
using this flag is recommended.

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.

VFS Chunked Reading

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.

These flags control the chunking:

    --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)

Rclone will start reading a chunk of size --vfs-read-chunk-size, and
then double the size for each read. When --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit is
specified, and greater than --vfs-read-chunk-size, 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.

With --vfs-read-chunk-size 100M and --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 0 the
following parts will be downloaded: 0-100M, 100M-200M, 200M-300M,
300M-400M and so on. When --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 500M is specified,
the result would be 0-100M, 100M-300M, 300M-700M, 700M-1200M,
1200M-1700M and so on.

Setting --vfs-read-chunk-size to 0 or "off" disables chunked reading.

VFS Performance

These flags may be used to enable/disable features of the VFS for
performance or other reasons. See also the chunked reading feature.

In particular S3 and Swift benefit hugely from the --no-modtime flag (or
use --use-server-modtime for a slightly different effect) as each read
of the modification time takes a transaction.

    --no-checksum     Don't compare checksums on up/download.
    --no-modtime      Don't read/write the modification time (can speed things up).
    --no-seek         Don't allow seeking in files.
    --read-only       Only allow read-only access.

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.

    --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)

When using VFS write caching (--vfs-cache-mode with value writes or
full), the global flag --transfers can be set to adjust the number of
parallel uploads of modified files from the cache (the related global
flag --checkers has no effect on the VFS).

    --transfers int  Number of file transfers to run in parallel (default 4)

VFS Case Sensitivity

Linux file systems are case-sensitive: two files can differ only by
case, and the exact case must be used when opening a file.

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.

Usually file systems on macOS are case-insensitive. It is possible to
make macOS file systems case-sensitive but that is not the default.

The --vfs-case-insensitive 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.

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.

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.

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".

VFS Disk Options

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.

    --vfs-disk-space-total-size    Manually set the total disk space size (example: 256G, default: -1)

Alternate report of used bytes

Some backends, most notably S3, do not report the amount of bytes used.
If you need this information to be available when running df on the
filesystem, then pass the flag --vfs-used-is-size to rclone. With this
flag set, instead of relying on the backend to report this information,
rclone will scan the whole remote similar to rclone size and compute the
total used space itself.

WARNING. Contrary to rclone size, 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.

rclone moveto

Move file or directory from source to dest.

Synopsis

If source:path is a file or directory then it moves it to a file or
directory named dest:path.

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 move command.

So

    rclone moveto src dst

where src and dst are rclone paths, either remote:path or /path/to/local
or C:.

This will:

    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

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.

Important: Since this can cause data loss, test first with the --dry-run
or the --interactive/-i flag.

Note: Use the -P/--progress flag to view real-time transfer statistics.

rclone ncdu

Explore a remote with a text based user interface.

Synopsis

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?".

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.

You can interact with the user interface using key presses, press '?' to
toggle the help on and off. The supported keys are:

     ↑,↓ or k,j to Move
     →,l to enter
     ←,h to return
     g toggle graph
     c toggle counts
     a toggle average size in directory
     m toggle modified time
     u toggle human-readable format
     n,s,C,A,M sort by name,size,count,asize,mtime
     d delete file/directory
     v select file/directory
     V enter visual select mode
     D delete selected files/directories
     y copy current path to clipboard
     Y display current path
     ^L refresh screen (fix screen corruption)
     r recalculate file sizes
     ? to toggle help on and off
     q/ESC/^c to quit

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:

    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

This an homage to the ncdu tool but for rclone remotes. It is missing
lots of features at the moment but is useful as it stands.

Note that it might take some time to delete big files/directories. The
UI won't respond in the meantime since the deletion is done
synchronously.

For a non-interactive listing of the remote, see the tree command. To
just get the total size of the remote you can also use the size command.

rclone obscure

Obscure password for use in the rclone config file.

Synopsis

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 not 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.

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.

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.

    echo "secretpassword" | rclone obscure -

If there is no data on STDIN to read, rclone obscure will default to
obfuscating the hyphen itself.

If you want to encrypt the config file then please use config file
encryption - see rclone config for more info.

rclone rc

Run a command against a running rclone.

Synopsis

This runs a command against a running rclone. Use the --url 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"

A username and password can be passed in with --user and --pass.

Note that --rc-addr, --rc-user, --rc-pass will be read also for --url,
--user, --pass.

Arguments should be passed in as parameter=value.

The result will be returned as a JSON object by default.

The --json 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.

The -o/--opt option can be used to set a key "opt" with key, value
options in the form -o key=value or -o key. 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.

    -o key=value -o key2

Will place this in the "opt" value

    {"key":"value", "key2","")

The -a/--arg 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.

    -a value -a value2

Will place this in the "arg" value

    ["value", "value2"]

Use --loopback to connect to the rclone instance running rclone rc. This
is very useful for testing commands without having to run an rclone rc
server, e.g.:

    rclone rc --loopback operations/about fs=/

Use rclone rc to see a list of all possible commands.

          --no-output         If set, don't output the JSON result
      -o, --opt stringArray   Option in the form name=value or name placed in the "opt" array
          --pass string       Password to use to connect to rclone remote control
          --url string        URL to connect to rclone remote control (default "http://localhost:5572/")
          --user string       Username to use to rclone remote control

rclone rcat

Copies standard input to file on remote.

Synopsis

rclone rcat reads from standard input (stdin) and copies it to a single
remote file.

    echo "hello world" | rclone rcat remote:path/to/file
    ffmpeg - | rclone rcat remote:path/to/file

If the remote file already exists, it will be overwritten.

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 --streaming-upload-cutoff.
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.

Use the --size flag to preallocate the file in advance at the remote end
and actually stream it, even if remote backend doesn't support
streaming.

--size should be the exact size of the input stream in bytes. If the
size of the stream is different in length to the --size passed in then
the transfer will likely fail.

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 rclone move it to the destination which can
use retries.

    rclone rcat remote:path [flags]

Options

      -h, --help       help for rcat
          --size int   File size hint to preallocate (default -1)

Important Options

      -n, --dry-run         Do a trial run with no permanent changes
      -i, --interactive     Enable interactive mode
      -v, --verbose count   Print lots more stuff (repeat for more)

rclone rcd

Run rclone listening to remote control commands only.

Synopsis

This runs rclone so that it only listens to remote control commands.

This is useful if you are controlling rclone via the rc API.

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.

See the rc documentation for more info on the rc flags.

Server options

Use --rc-addr to specify which IP address and port the server should
listen on, eg --rc-addr 1.2.3.4:8000 or --rc-addr :8080 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.

If you set --rc-addr to listen on a public or LAN accessible IP address
then using Authentication is advised - see the next section for info.

You can use a unix socket by setting the url to unix:///path/to/socket
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.

--rc-addr may be repeated to listen on multiple IPs/ports/sockets.

--rc-server-read-timeout and --rc-server-write-timeout can be used to
control the timeouts on the server. Note that this is the total time for
a transfer.

--rc-max-header-bytes controls the maximum number of bytes the server
will accept in the HTTP header.

--rc-baseurl controls the URL prefix that rclone serves from. By default
rclone will serve from the root. If you used --rc-baseurl "/rclone" 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 --rc-baseurl, so --rc-baseurl "rclone",
--rc-baseurl "/rclone" and --rc-baseurl "/rclone/" are all treated
identically.

TLS (SSL)

By default this will serve over http. If you want you can serve over
https. You will need to supply the --rc-cert and --rc-key flags. If you
wish to do client side certificate validation then you will need to
supply --rc-client-ca also.

--rc-cert should be a either a PEM encoded certificate or a
concatenation of that with the CA certificate. --krc-ey should be the
PEM encoded private key and --rc-client-ca should be the PEM encoded
client certificate authority certificate.

--rc-min-tls-version is minimum TLS version that is acceptable. Valid
values are "tls1.0", "tls1.1", "tls1.2" and "tls1.3" (default "tls1.0").

Template

--rc-template 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:

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Parameter                           Description
  ----------------------------------- -----------------------------------
  .Name                               The full path of a file/directory.

                                      changeable via ?sort= parameter

                                      Sort Options:
                                      namedirfirst,name,size,time
                                      (default namedirfirst)

  .Order                              The current ordering used. This is
                                      changeable via ?order= parameter

                                      Order Options: asc,desc (default
                                      asc)

  .Query                              Currently unused.

  .Breadcrumb                         Allows for creating a relative
                                      navigation

  -- .Link                            The relative to the root link of
                                      the Text.

  -- .Text                            The Name of the directory.

  .Entries                            Information about a specific
                                      file/directory.

  -- .URL                             The 'url' of an entry.

  -- .Leaf                            Currently same as 'URL' but
                                      intended to be 'just' the name.

  -- .IsDir                           Boolean for if an entry is a
                                      directory or not.

  -- .Size                            Size in Bytes of the entry.

  -- .ModTime                         The UTC timestamp of an entry.
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Authentication

By default this will serve files without needing a login.

You can either use an htpasswd file which can take lots of users, or set
a single username and password with the --rc-user and --rc-pass flags.

If no static users are configured by either of the above methods, and
client certificates are required by the --client-ca flag passed to the
server, the client certificate common name will be considered as the
username.

Use --rc-htpasswd /path/to/htpasswd to provide an htpasswd file. This is
in standard apache format and supports MD5, SHA1 and BCrypt for basic
authentication. Bcrypt is recommended.

To create an htpasswd file:

    touch htpasswd
    htpasswd -B htpasswd user
    htpasswd -B htpasswd anotherUser

The password file can be updated while rclone is running.

Use --rc-realm to set the authentication realm.

Use --rc-salt to change the password hashing salt from the default.

rclone rmdirs

Remove empty directories under the path.

Synopsis

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 --leave-root flag.

Use command rmdir to delete just the empty directory given by path, not
recurse.

This is useful for tidying up remotes that rclone has left a lot of
empty directories in. For example the delete command will delete files
but leave the directory structure (unless used with option --rmdirs).

This will delete --checkers directories concurrently so if you have
thousands of empty directories consider increasing this number.

To delete a path and any objects in it, use the purge command.

rclone selfupdate

Update the rclone binary.

Synopsis

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 the release signing docs for
details.

If used without flags (or with implied --stable 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 --beta flag, i.e.
rclone selfupdate --beta. You can check in advance what version would be
installed by adding the --check flag, then repeat the command without it
when you are satisfied.

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 --version VER flag, if given, will update to the concrete
version instead of the latest one. If you omit micro version from VER
(for example 1.53), the latest matching micro version will be used.

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:
rclone selfupdate [--beta] OLDVER. If the old version contains only dots
and digits (for example v1.54.0) then it's a stable release so you won't
need the --beta flag. Beta releases have an additional information
similar to v1.54.0-beta.5111.06f1c0c61. (if you are a developer and use
a locally built rclone, the version number will end with -DEV, you will
have to rebuild it as it obviously can't be distributed).

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 --package deb or --package rpm (whichever is
correct for your OS) to update these too. This command with the default
--package zip will update only the rclone executable so the local manual
may become inaccurate after it.

The rclone mount command may or may not support extended FUSE options
depending on the build and OS. selfupdate will refuse to update if the
capability would be discarded.

Note: Windows forbids deletion of a currently running executable so this
command will rename the old executable to 'rclone.old.exe' upon success.

Please note that this command was not available before rclone version
1.55. If it fails for you with the message unknown command "selfupdate"
then you will need to update manually following the install instructions
located at https://rclone.org/install/

rclone serve dlna

Serve remote:path over DLNA

Synopsis

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.

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.

Server options

Use --addr to specify which IP address and port the server should listen
on, e.g. --addr 1.2.3.4:8000 or --addr :8080 to listen to all IPs.

Use --name to choose the friendly server name, which is by default
"rclone (hostname)".

Use --log-trace in conjunction with -vv to enable additional debug
logging of all UPNP traffic.

VFS - Virtual File System

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.

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.

The VFS layer also implements a directory cache - this caches info about
files and directories (but not the data) in memory.

VFS Directory Cache

Using the --dir-cache-time 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.

    --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)

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.

You can send a SIGHUP 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:

    kill -SIGHUP $(pidof rclone)

If you configure rclone with a remote control then you can use rclone rc
to flush the whole directory cache:

    rclone rc vfs/forget

Or individual files or directories:

    rclone rc vfs/forget file=path/to/file dir=path/to/dir

VFS File Buffering

The --buffer-size flag determines the amount of memory, that will be
used to buffer data in advance.

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.

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.

The maximum memory used by rclone for buffering can be up to
--buffer-size * open files.

VFS File Caching

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.

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.

Note that the VFS cache is separate from the cache backend and you may
find that you need one or the other or both.

    --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)

If run with -vv 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 --cache-dir or setting the appropriate
environment variable.

The cache has 4 different modes selected by --vfs-cache-mode. The higher
the cache mode the more compatible rclone becomes at the cost of using
disk space.

Note that files are written back to the remote only when they are closed
and if they haven't been accessed for --vfs-write-back 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.

If using --vfs-cache-max-size or --vfs-cache-min-free-size note that the
cache may exceed these quotas for two reasons. Firstly because it is
only checked every --vfs-cache-poll-interval. Secondly because open
files cannot be evicted from the cache. When --vfs-cache-max-size or
--vfs-cache-min-free-size 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.

The --vfs-cache-max-age 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 .

You should not run two copies of rclone using the same VFS cache with
the same or overlapping remotes if using --vfs-cache-mode > off. This
can potentially cause data corruption if you do. You can work around
this by giving each rclone its own cache hierarchy with --cache-dir. You
don't need to worry about this if the remotes in use don't overlap.

--vfs-cache-mode off

In this mode (the default) the cache will read directly from the remote
and write directly to the remote without caching anything on disk.

This will mean some operations are not possible

-   Files can't be opened for both read AND write
-   Files opened for write can't be seeked
-   Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set
-   Files open for read with O_TRUNC will be opened write only
-   Files open for write only will behave as if O_TRUNC was supplied
-   Open modes O_APPEND, O_TRUNC are ignored
-   If an upload fails it can't be retried

--vfs-cache-mode minimal

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.

These operations are not possible

-   Files opened for write only can't be seeked
-   Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set
-   Files opened for write only will ignore O_APPEND, O_TRUNC
-   If an upload fails it can't be retried

--vfs-cache-mode writes

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.

This mode should support all normal file system operations.

If an upload fails it will be retried at exponentially increasing
intervals up to 1 minute.

--vfs-cache-mode full

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.

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.

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.

This mode should support all normal file system operations and is
otherwise identical to --vfs-cache-mode writes.

When reading a file rclone will read --buffer-size plus --vfs-read-ahead
bytes ahead. The --buffer-size is buffered in memory whereas the
--vfs-read-ahead is buffered on disk.

When using this mode it is recommended that --buffer-size is not set too
large and --vfs-read-ahead is set large if required.

IMPORTANT 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.

Fingerprinting

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:

-   size
-   modification time
-   hash

where available on an object.

On some backends some of these attributes are slow to read (they take an
extra API call per object, or extra work per object).

For example hash is slow with the local and sftp backends as they have
to read the entire file and hash it, and modtime is slow with the s3,
swift, ftp and qinqstor backends because they need to do an extra API
call to fetch it.

If you use the --vfs-fast-fingerprint 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.

If you are running a vfs cache over local, s3 or swift backends then
using this flag is recommended.

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.

VFS Chunked Reading

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.

These flags control the chunking:

    --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)

Rclone will start reading a chunk of size --vfs-read-chunk-size, and
then double the size for each read. When --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit is
specified, and greater than --vfs-read-chunk-size, 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.

With --vfs-read-chunk-size 100M and --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 0 the
following parts will be downloaded: 0-100M, 100M-200M, 200M-300M,
300M-400M and so on. When --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 500M is specified,
the result would be 0-100M, 100M-300M, 300M-700M, 700M-1200M,
1200M-1700M and so on.

Setting --vfs-read-chunk-size to 0 or "off" disables chunked reading.

VFS Performance

These flags may be used to enable/disable features of the VFS for
performance or other reasons. See also the chunked reading feature.

In particular S3 and Swift benefit hugely from the --no-modtime flag (or
use --use-server-modtime for a slightly different effect) as each read
of the modification time takes a transaction.

    --no-checksum     Don't compare checksums on up/download.
    --no-modtime      Don't read/write the modification time (can speed things up).
    --no-seek         Don't allow seeking in files.
    --read-only       Only allow read-only access.

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.

    --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)

When using VFS write caching (--vfs-cache-mode with value writes or
full), the global flag --transfers can be set to adjust the number of
parallel uploads of modified files from the cache (the related global
flag --checkers has no effect on the VFS).

    --transfers int  Number of file transfers to run in parallel (default 4)

VFS Case Sensitivity

Linux file systems are case-sensitive: two files can differ only by
case, and the exact case must be used when opening a file.

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.

Usually file systems on macOS are case-insensitive. It is possible to
make macOS file systems case-sensitive but that is not the default.

The --vfs-case-insensitive 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.

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.

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.

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".

VFS Disk Options

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.

    --vfs-disk-space-total-size    Manually set the total disk space size (example: 256G, default: -1)

Alternate report of used bytes

Some backends, most notably S3, do not report the amount of bytes used.
If you need this information to be available when running df on the
filesystem, then pass the flag --vfs-used-is-size to rclone. With this
flag set, instead of relying on the backend to report this information,
rclone will scan the whole remote similar to rclone size and compute the
total used space itself.

WARNING. Contrary to rclone size, 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.

rclone serve docker

Serve any remote on docker's volume plugin API.

Synopsis

This command implements the Docker volume plugin API allowing docker to
use rclone as a data storage mechanism for various cloud providers.
rclone provides docker volume plugin based on it.

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:

    sudo rclone serve docker --base-dir /tmp/rclone-volumes --socket-addr localhost:8787 -vv

Running rclone serve docker will create the said socket, listening for
commands from Docker to create the necessary Volumes. Normally you need
not give the --socket-addr flag. The API will listen on the unix domain
socket at /run/docker/plugins/rclone.sock. In the example above rclone
will create a TCP socket and a small file
/etc/docker/plugins/rclone.spec containing the socket address. We use
sudo because both paths are writeable only by the root user.

If you later decide to change listening socket, the docker daemon must
be restarted to reconnect to /run/docker/plugins/rclone.sock or parse
new /etc/docker/plugins/rclone.spec. Until you restart, any volume
related docker commands will timeout trying to access the old socket.
Running directly is supported on Linux only, not on Windows or MacOS.
This is not a problem with managed plugin mode described in details in
the full documentation.

The command will create volume mounts under the path given by --base-dir
(by default /var/lib/docker-volumes/rclone available only to root) and
maintain the JSON formatted file docker-plugin.state in the rclone cache
directory with book-keeping records of created and mounted volumes.

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.

VFS - Virtual File System

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.

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.

The VFS layer also implements a directory cache - this caches info about
files and directories (but not the data) in memory.

VFS Directory Cache

Using the --dir-cache-time 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.

    --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)

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.

You can send a SIGHUP 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:

    kill -SIGHUP $(pidof rclone)

If you configure rclone with a remote control then you can use rclone rc
to flush the whole directory cache:

    rclone rc vfs/forget

Or individual files or directories:

    rclone rc vfs/forget file=path/to/file dir=path/to/dir

VFS File Buffering

The --buffer-size flag determines the amount of memory, that will be
used to buffer data in advance.

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.

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.

The maximum memory used by rclone for buffering can be up to
--buffer-size * open files.

VFS File Caching

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.

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.

Note that the VFS cache is separate from the cache backend and you may
find that you need one or the other or both.

    --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)

If run with -vv 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 --cache-dir or setting the appropriate
environment variable.

The cache has 4 different modes selected by --vfs-cache-mode. The higher
the cache mode the more compatible rclone becomes at the cost of using
disk space.

Note that files are written back to the remote only when they are closed
and if they haven't been accessed for --vfs-write-back 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.

If using --vfs-cache-max-size or --vfs-cache-min-free-size note that the
cache may exceed these quotas for two reasons. Firstly because it is
only checked every --vfs-cache-poll-interval. Secondly because open
files cannot be evicted from the cache. When --vfs-cache-max-size or
--vfs-cache-min-free-size 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.

The --vfs-cache-max-age 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 .

You should not run two copies of rclone using the same VFS cache with
the same or overlapping remotes if using --vfs-cache-mode > off. This
can potentially cause data corruption if you do. You can work around
this by giving each rclone its own cache hierarchy with --cache-dir. You
don't need to worry about this if the remotes in use don't overlap.

--vfs-cache-mode off

In this mode (the default) the cache will read directly from the remote
and write directly to the remote without caching anything on disk.

This will mean some operations are not possible

-   Files can't be opened for both read AND write
-   Files opened for write can't be seeked
-   Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set
-   Files open for read with O_TRUNC will be opened write only
-   Files open for write only will behave as if O_TRUNC was supplied
-   Open modes O_APPEND, O_TRUNC are ignored
-   If an upload fails it can't be retried

--vfs-cache-mode minimal

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.

These operations are not possible

-   Files opened for write only can't be seeked
-   Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set
-   Files opened for write only will ignore O_APPEND, O_TRUNC
-   If an upload fails it can't be retried

--vfs-cache-mode writes

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.

This mode should support all normal file system operations.

If an upload fails it will be retried at exponentially increasing
intervals up to 1 minute.

--vfs-cache-mode full

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.

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.

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.

This mode should support all normal file system operations and is
otherwise identical to --vfs-cache-mode writes.

When reading a file rclone will read --buffer-size plus --vfs-read-ahead
bytes ahead. The --buffer-size is buffered in memory whereas the
--vfs-read-ahead is buffered on disk.

When using this mode it is recommended that --buffer-size is not set too
large and --vfs-read-ahead is set large if required.

IMPORTANT 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.

Fingerprinting

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:

-   size
-   modification time
-   hash

where available on an object.

On some backends some of these attributes are slow to read (they take an
extra API call per object, or extra work per object).

For example hash is slow with the local and sftp backends as they have
to read the entire file and hash it, and modtime is slow with the s3,
swift, ftp and qinqstor backends because they need to do an extra API
call to fetch it.

If you use the --vfs-fast-fingerprint 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.

If you are running a vfs cache over local, s3 or swift backends then
using this flag is recommended.

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.

VFS Chunked Reading

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.

These flags control the chunking:

    --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)

Rclone will start reading a chunk of size --vfs-read-chunk-size, and
then double the size for each read. When --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit is
specified, and greater than --vfs-read-chunk-size, 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.

With --vfs-read-chunk-size 100M and --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 0 the
following parts will be downloaded: 0-100M, 100M-200M, 200M-300M,
300M-400M and so on. When --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 500M is specified,
the result would be 0-100M, 100M-300M, 300M-700M, 700M-1200M,
1200M-1700M and so on.

Setting --vfs-read-chunk-size to 0 or "off" disables chunked reading.

VFS Performance

These flags may be used to enable/disable features of the VFS for
performance or other reasons. See also the chunked reading feature.

In particular S3 and Swift benefit hugely from the --no-modtime flag (or
use --use-server-modtime for a slightly different effect) as each read
of the modification time takes a transaction.

    --no-checksum     Don't compare checksums on up/download.
    --no-modtime      Don't read/write the modification time (can speed things up).
    --no-seek         Don't allow seeking in files.
    --read-only       Only allow read-only access.

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.

    --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)

When using VFS write caching (--vfs-cache-mode with value writes or
full), the global flag --transfers can be set to adjust the number of
parallel uploads of modified files from the cache (the related global
flag --checkers has no effect on the VFS).

    --transfers int  Number of file transfers to run in parallel (default 4)

VFS Case Sensitivity

Linux file systems are case-sensitive: two files can differ only by
case, and the exact case must be used when opening a file.

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.

Usually file systems on macOS are case-insensitive. It is possible to
make macOS file systems case-sensitive but that is not the default.

The --vfs-case-insensitive 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.

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.

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.

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".

VFS Disk Options

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.

    --vfs-disk-space-total-size    Manually set the total disk space size (example: 256G, default: -1)

Alternate report of used bytes

Some backends, most notably S3, do not report the amount of bytes used.
If you need this information to be available when running df on the
filesystem, then pass the flag --vfs-used-is-size to rclone. With this
flag set, instead of relying on the backend to report this information,
rclone will scan the whole remote similar to rclone size and compute the
total used space itself.

WARNING. Contrary to rclone size, 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.

rclone serve ftp

Serve remote:path over FTP.

Synopsis

Run a basic FTP server to serve a remote over FTP protocol. This can be
viewed with a FTP client or you can make a remote of type FTP to read
and write it.

Server options

Use --addr to specify which IP address and port the server should listen
on, e.g. --addr 1.2.3.4:8000 or --addr :8080 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.

If you set --addr to listen on a public or LAN accessible IP address
then using Authentication is advised - see the next section for info.

Authentication

By default this will serve files without needing a login.

You can set a single username and password with the --user and --pass
flags.

VFS - Virtual File System

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.

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.

The VFS layer also implements a directory cache - this caches info about
files and directories (but not the data) in memory.

VFS Directory Cache

Using the --dir-cache-time 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.

    --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)

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.

You can send a SIGHUP 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:

    kill -SIGHUP $(pidof rclone)

If you configure rclone with a remote control then you can use rclone rc
to flush the whole directory cache:

    rclone rc vfs/forget

Or individual files or directories:

    rclone rc vfs/forget file=path/to/file dir=path/to/dir

VFS File Buffering

The --buffer-size flag determines the amount of memory, that will be
used to buffer data in advance.

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.

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.

The maximum memory used by rclone for buffering can be up to
--buffer-size * open files.

VFS File Caching

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.

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.

Note that the VFS cache is separate from the cache backend and you may
find that you need one or the other or both.

    --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)

If run with -vv 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 --cache-dir or setting the appropriate
environment variable.

The cache has 4 different modes selected by --vfs-cache-mode. The higher
the cache mode the more compatible rclone becomes at the cost of using
disk space.

Note that files are written back to the remote only when they are closed
and if they haven't been accessed for --vfs-write-back 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.

If using --vfs-cache-max-size or --vfs-cache-min-free-size note that the
cache may exceed these quotas for two reasons. Firstly because it is
only checked every --vfs-cache-poll-interval. Secondly because open
files cannot be evicted from the cache. When --vfs-cache-max-size or
--vfs-cache-min-free-size 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.

The --vfs-cache-max-age 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 .

You should not run two copies of rclone using the same VFS cache with
the same or overlapping remotes if using --vfs-cache-mode > off. This
can potentially cause data corruption if you do. You can work around
this by giving each rclone its own cache hierarchy with --cache-dir. You
don't need to worry about this if the remotes in use don't overlap.

--vfs-cache-mode off

In this mode (the default) the cache will read directly from the remote
and write directly to the remote without caching anything on disk.

This will mean some operations are not possible

-   Files can't be opened for both read AND write
-   Files opened for write can't be seeked
-   Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set
-   Files open for read with O_TRUNC will be opened write only
-   Files open for write only will behave as if O_TRUNC was supplied
-   Open modes O_APPEND, O_TRUNC are ignored
-   If an upload fails it can't be retried

--vfs-cache-mode minimal

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.

These operations are not possible

-   Files opened for write only can't be seeked
-   Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set
-   Files opened for write only will ignore O_APPEND, O_TRUNC
-   If an upload fails it can't be retried

--vfs-cache-mode writes

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.

This mode should support all normal file system operations.

If an upload fails it will be retried at exponentially increasing
intervals up to 1 minute.

--vfs-cache-mode full

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.

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.

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.

This mode should support all normal file system operations and is
otherwise identical to --vfs-cache-mode writes.

When reading a file rclone will read --buffer-size plus --vfs-read-ahead
bytes ahead. The --buffer-size is buffered in memory whereas the
--vfs-read-ahead is buffered on disk.

When using this mode it is recommended that --buffer-size is not set too
large and --vfs-read-ahead is set large if required.

IMPORTANT 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.

Fingerprinting

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:

-   size
-   modification time
-   hash

where available on an object.

On some backends some of these attributes are slow to read (they take an
extra API call per object, or extra work per object).

For example hash is slow with the local and sftp backends as they have
to read the entire file and hash it, and modtime is slow with the s3,
swift, ftp and qinqstor backends because they need to do an extra API
call to fetch it.

If you use the --vfs-fast-fingerprint 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.

If you are running a vfs cache over local, s3 or swift backends then
using this flag is recommended.

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.

VFS Chunked Reading

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.

These flags control the chunking:

    --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)

Rclone will start reading a chunk of size --vfs-read-chunk-size, and
then double the size for each read. When --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit is
specified, and greater than --vfs-read-chunk-size, 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.

With --vfs-read-chunk-size 100M and --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 0 the
following parts will be downloaded: 0-100M, 100M-200M, 200M-300M,
300M-400M and so on. When --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 500M is specified,
the result would be 0-100M, 100M-300M, 300M-700M, 700M-1200M,
1200M-1700M and so on.

Setting --vfs-read-chunk-size to 0 or "off" disables chunked reading.

VFS Performance

These flags may be used to enable/disable features of the VFS for
performance or other reasons. See also the chunked reading feature.

In particular S3 and Swift benefit hugely from the --no-modtime flag (or
use --use-server-modtime for a slightly different effect) as each read
of the modification time takes a transaction.

    --no-checksum     Don't compare checksums on up/download.
    --no-modtime      Don't read/write the modification time (can speed things up).
    --no-seek         Don't allow seeking in files.
    --read-only       Only allow read-only access.

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.

    --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)

When using VFS write caching (--vfs-cache-mode with value writes or
full), the global flag --transfers can be set to adjust the number of
parallel uploads of modified files from the cache (the related global
flag --checkers has no effect on the VFS).

    --transfers int  Number of file transfers to run in parallel (default 4)

VFS Case Sensitivity

Linux file systems are case-sensitive: two files can differ only by
case, and the exact case must be used when opening a file.

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.

Usually file systems on macOS are case-insensitive. It is possible to
make macOS file systems case-sensitive but that is not the default.

The --vfs-case-insensitive 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.

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.

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.

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".

VFS Disk Options

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.

    --vfs-disk-space-total-size    Manually set the total disk space size (example: 256G, default: -1)

Alternate report of used bytes

Some backends, most notably S3, do not report the amount of bytes used.
If you need this information to be available when running df on the
filesystem, then pass the flag --vfs-used-is-size to rclone. With this
flag set, instead of relying on the backend to report this information,
rclone will scan the whole remote similar to rclone size and compute the
total used space itself.

WARNING. Contrary to rclone size, 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.

Auth Proxy

If you supply the parameter --auth-proxy /path/to/program 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.

PLEASE NOTE: --auth-proxy and --authorized-keys cannot be used together,
if --auth-proxy is set the authorized keys option will be ignored.

There is an example program bin/test_proxy.py in the rclone source code.

The program's job is to take a user and pass 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.

This config generated must have this extra parameter - _root - root to
use for the backend

And it may have this parameter - _obscure - comma separated strings for
parameters to obscure

If password authentication was used by the client, input to the proxy
process (on STDIN) would look similar to this:

    {
        "user": "me",
        "pass": "mypassword"
    }

If public-key authentication was used by the client, input to the proxy
process (on STDIN) would look similar to this:

    {
        "user": "me",
        "public_key": "AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQDuwESFdAe14hVS6omeyX7edc...JQdf"
    }

And as an example return this on STDOUT

    {
        "type": "sftp",
        "_root": "",
        "_obscure": "pass",
        "user": "me",
        "pass": "mypassword",
        "host": "sftp.example.com"
    }

This would mean that an SFTP backend would be created on the fly for the
user and pass/public_key returned in the output to the host given. Note
that since _obscure is set to pass, rclone will obscure the pass
parameter before creating the backend (which is required for sftp
backends).

The program can manipulate the supplied user in any way, for example to
make proxy to many different sftp backends, you could make the user be
user@example.com and then set the host to example.com in the output and
the user to user. For security you'd probably want to restrict the host
to a limited list.

Note that an internal cache is keyed on user so only use that for
configuration, don't use pass or public_key. 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.

This can be used to build general purpose proxies to any kind of backend
that rclone supports.

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.

You can use the filter flags (e.g. --include, --exclude) to control what
is served.

The server will log errors. Use -v to see access logs.

--bwlimit will be respected for file transfers. Use --stats to control
the stats printing.

Server options

Use --addr to specify which IP address and port the server should listen
on, eg --addr 1.2.3.4:8000 or --addr :8080 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.

If you set --addr to listen on a public or LAN accessible IP address
then using Authentication is advised - see the next section for info.

You can use a unix socket by setting the url to unix:///path/to/socket
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.

--addr may be repeated to listen on multiple IPs/ports/sockets.

--server-read-timeout and --server-write-timeout can be used to control
the timeouts on the server. Note that this is the total time for a
transfer.

--max-header-bytes controls the maximum number of bytes the server will
accept in the HTTP header.

--baseurl controls the URL prefix that rclone serves from. By default
rclone will serve from the root. If you used --baseurl "/rclone" 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 --baseurl, so --baseurl "rclone",
--baseurl "/rclone" and --baseurl "/rclone/" are all treated
identically.

TLS (SSL)

By default this will serve over http. If you want you can serve over
https. You will need to supply the --cert and --key flags. If you wish
to do client side certificate validation then you will need to supply
--client-ca also.

--cert should be a either a PEM encoded certificate or a concatenation
of that with the CA certificate. --key should be the PEM encoded private
key and --client-ca should be the PEM encoded client certificate
authority certificate.

--min-tls-version is minimum TLS version that is acceptable. Valid
values are "tls1.0", "tls1.1", "tls1.2" and "tls1.3" (default "tls1.0").

Template

--template 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:

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Parameter                           Description
  ----------------------------------- -----------------------------------
  .Name                               The full path of a file/directory.

  .Title                              Directory listing of .Name

  .Sort                               The current sort used. This is
                                      changeable via ?sort= parameter

                                      Sort Options:
                                      namedirfirst,name,size,time
                                      (default namedirfirst)

  .Order                              The current ordering used. This is
                                      changeable via ?order= parameter

                                      Order Options: asc,desc (default
                                      asc)

  .Query                              Currently unused.

  .Breadcrumb                         Allows for creating a relative
                                      navigation

  -- .Link                            The relative to the root link of
                                      the Text.

  -- .Text                            The Name of the directory.

  .Entries                            Information about a specific
                                      file/directory.

  -- .URL                             The 'url' of an entry.

  -- .Leaf                            Currently same as 'URL' but
                                      intended to be 'just' the name.

  -- .IsDir                           Boolean for if an entry is a
                                      directory or not.

  -- .Size                            Size in Bytes of the entry.

  -- .ModTime                         The UTC timestamp of an entry.
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Authentication

By default this will serve files without needing a login.

You can either use an htpasswd file which can take lots of users, or set
a single username and password with the --user and --pass flags.

If no static users are configured by either of the above methods, and
client certificates are required by the --client-ca flag passed to the
server, the client certificate common name will be considered as the
username.

Use --htpasswd /path/to/htpasswd to provide an htpasswd file. This is in
standard apache format and supports MD5, SHA1 and BCrypt for basic
authentication. Bcrypt is recommended.

To create an htpasswd file:

    touch htpasswd
    htpasswd -B htpasswd user
    htpasswd -B htpasswd anotherUser

The password file can be updated while rclone is running.

Use --realm to set the authentication realm.

Use --salt to change the password hashing salt from the default.

VFS - Virtual File System

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.

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.

The VFS layer also implements a directory cache - this caches info about
files and directories (but not the data) in memory.

VFS Directory Cache

Using the --dir-cache-time 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.

    --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)

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.

You can send a SIGHUP 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:

    kill -SIGHUP $(pidof rclone)

If you configure rclone with a remote control then you can use rclone rc
to flush the whole directory cache:

    rclone rc vfs/forget

Or individual files or directories:

    rclone rc vfs/forget file=path/to/file dir=path/to/dir

VFS File Buffering

The --buffer-size flag determines the amount of memory, that will be
used to buffer data in advance.

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.

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.

The maximum memory used by rclone for buffering can be up to
--buffer-size * open files.

VFS File Caching

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.

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.

Note that the VFS cache is separate from the cache backend and you may
find that you need one or the other or both.

    --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)

If run with -vv 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 --cache-dir or setting the appropriate
environment variable.

The cache has 4 different modes selected by --vfs-cache-mode. The higher
the cache mode the more compatible rclone becomes at the cost of using
disk space.

Note that files are written back to the remote only when they are closed
and if they haven't been accessed for --vfs-write-back 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.

If using --vfs-cache-max-size or --vfs-cache-min-free-size note that the
cache may exceed these quotas for two reasons. Firstly because it is
only checked every --vfs-cache-poll-interval. Secondly because open
files cannot be evicted from the cache. When --vfs-cache-max-size or
--vfs-cache-min-free-size 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.

The --vfs-cache-max-age 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 .

You should not run two copies of rclone using the same VFS cache with
the same or overlapping remotes if using --vfs-cache-mode > off. This
can potentially cause data corruption if you do. You can work around
this by giving each rclone its own cache hierarchy with --cache-dir. You
don't need to worry about this if the remotes in use don't overlap.

--vfs-cache-mode off

In this mode (the default) the cache will read directly from the remote
and write directly to the remote without caching anything on disk.

This will mean some operations are not possible

-   Files can't be opened for both read AND write
-   Files opened for write can't be seeked
-   Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set
-   Files open for read with O_TRUNC will be opened write only
-   Files open for write only will behave as if O_TRUNC was supplied
-   Open modes O_APPEND, O_TRUNC are ignored
-   If an upload fails it can't be retried

--vfs-cache-mode minimal

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.

These operations are not possible

-   Files opened for write only can't be seeked
-   Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set
-   Files opened for write only will ignore O_APPEND, O_TRUNC
-   If an upload fails it can't be retried

--vfs-cache-mode writes

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.

This mode should support all normal file system operations.

If an upload fails it will be retried at exponentially increasing
intervals up to 1 minute.

--vfs-cache-mode full

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.

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.

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.

This mode should support all normal file system operations and is
otherwise identical to --vfs-cache-mode writes.

When reading a file rclone will read --buffer-size plus --vfs-read-ahead
bytes ahead. The --buffer-size is buffered in memory whereas the
--vfs-read-ahead is buffered on disk.

When using this mode it is recommended that --buffer-size is not set too
large and --vfs-read-ahead is set large if required.

IMPORTANT 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.

Fingerprinting

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:

-   size
-   modification time
-   hash

where available on an object.

On some backends some of these attributes are slow to read (they take an
extra API call per object, or extra work per object).

For example hash is slow with the local and sftp backends as they have
to read the entire file and hash it, and modtime is slow with the s3,
swift, ftp and qinqstor backends because they need to do an extra API
call to fetch it.

If you use the --vfs-fast-fingerprint 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.

If you are running a vfs cache over local, s3 or swift backends then
using this flag is recommended.

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.

VFS Chunked Reading

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.

These flags control the chunking:

    --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)

Rclone will start reading a chunk of size --vfs-read-chunk-size, and
then double the size for each read. When --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit is
specified, and greater than --vfs-read-chunk-size, 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.

With --vfs-read-chunk-size 100M and --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 0 the
following parts will be downloaded: 0-100M, 100M-200M, 200M-300M,
300M-400M and so on. When --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 500M is specified,
the result would be 0-100M, 100M-300M, 300M-700M, 700M-1200M,
1200M-1700M and so on.

Setting --vfs-read-chunk-size to 0 or "off" disables chunked reading.

VFS Performance

These flags may be used to enable/disable features of the VFS for
performance or other reasons. See also the chunked reading feature.

In particular S3 and Swift benefit hugely from the --no-modtime flag (or
use --use-server-modtime for a slightly different effect) as each read
of the modification time takes a transaction.

    --no-checksum     Don't compare checksums on up/download.
    --no-modtime      Don't read/write the modification time (can speed things up).
    --no-seek         Don't allow seeking in files.
    --read-only       Only allow read-only access.

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.

    --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)

When using VFS write caching (--vfs-cache-mode with value writes or
full), the global flag --transfers can be set to adjust the number of
parallel uploads of modified files from the cache (the related global
flag --checkers has no effect on the VFS).

    --transfers int  Number of file transfers to run in parallel (default 4)

VFS Case Sensitivity

Linux file systems are case-sensitive: two files can differ only by
case, and the exact case must be used when opening a file.

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.

Usually file systems on macOS are case-insensitive. It is possible to
make macOS file systems case-sensitive but that is not the default.

The --vfs-case-insensitive 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.

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.

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.

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".

VFS Disk Options

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.

    --vfs-disk-space-total-size    Manually set the total disk space size (example: 256G, default: -1)

Alternate report of used bytes

Some backends, most notably S3, do not report the amount of bytes used.
If you need this information to be available when running df on the
filesystem, then pass the flag --vfs-used-is-size to rclone. With this
flag set, instead of relying on the backend to report this information,
rclone will scan the whole remote similar to rclone size and compute the
total used space itself.

WARNING. Contrary to rclone size, 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.

Auth Proxy

If you supply the parameter --auth-proxy /path/to/program 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.

PLEASE NOTE: --auth-proxy and --authorized-keys cannot be used together,
if --auth-proxy is set the authorized keys option will be ignored.

There is an example program bin/test_proxy.py in the rclone source code.

The program's job is to take a user and pass 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.

This config generated must have this extra parameter - _root - root to
use for the backend

And it may have this parameter - _obscure - comma separated strings for
parameters to obscure

If password authentication was used by the client, input to the proxy
process (on STDIN) would look similar to this:

    {
        "user": "me",
        "pass": "mypassword"
    }

If public-key authentication was used by the client, input to the proxy
process (on STDIN) would look similar to this:

    {
        "user": "me",
        "public_key": "AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQDuwESFdAe14hVS6omeyX7edc...JQdf"
    }

And as an example return this on STDOUT

    {
        "type": "sftp",
        "_root": "",
        "_obscure": "pass",
        "user": "me",
        "pass": "mypassword",
        "host": "sftp.example.com"
    }

This would mean that an SFTP backend would be created on the fly for the
user and pass/public_key returned in the output to the host given. Note
that since _obscure is set to pass, rclone will obscure the pass
parameter before creating the backend (which is required for sftp
backends).

The program can manipulate the supplied user in any way, for example to
make proxy to many different sftp backends, you could make the user be
user@example.com and then set the host to example.com in the output and
the user to user. For security you'd probably want to restrict the host
to a limited list.

Note that an internal cache is keyed on user so only use that for
configuration, don't use pass or public_key. 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.

This can be used to build general purpose proxies to any kind of backend
that rclone supports.

rclone serve restic

Serve the remote for restic's REST API.

Synopsis

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.

Restic is a command-line program for doing backups.

The server will log errors. Use -v to see access logs.

--bwlimit will be respected for file transfers. Use --stats to control
the stats printing.

Setting up rclone for use by restic

First set up a remote for your chosen cloud provider.

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.

Now start the rclone restic server

    rclone serve restic -v remote:backup

Where you can replace "backup" in the above by whatever path in the
remote you wish to use.

By default this will serve on "localhost:8080" you can change this with
use of the --addr flag.

You might wish to start this server on boot.

Adding --cache-objects=false 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.

Setting up restic to use rclone

Now you can follow the restic instructions on setting up restic.

Note that you will need restic 0.8.2 or later to interoperate with
rclone.

For the example above you will want to use "http://localhost:8080/" as
the URL for the REST server.

For example:

    $ 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

Multiple repositories

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
must end with /. Eg

    $ export RESTIC_REPOSITORY=rest:http://localhost:8080/user1repo/
    # backup user1 stuff
    $ export RESTIC_REPOSITORY=rest:http://localhost:8080/user2repo/
    # backup user2 stuff

Private repositories

The--private-repos flag can be used to limit users to repositories
starting with a path of /<username>/.

Server options

Use --addr to specify which IP address and port the server should listen
on, eg --addr 1.2.3.4:8000 or --addr :8080 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.

If you set --addr to listen on a public or LAN accessible IP address
then using Authentication is advised - see the next section for info.

You can use a unix socket by setting the url to unix:///path/to/socket
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.

--addr may be repeated to listen on multiple IPs/ports/sockets.

--server-read-timeout and --server-write-timeout can be used to control
the timeouts on the server. Note that this is the total time for a
transfer.

--max-header-bytes controls the maximum number of bytes the server will
accept in the HTTP header.

--baseurl controls the URL prefix that rclone serves from. By default
rclone will serve from the root. If you used --baseurl "/rclone" 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 --baseurl, so --baseurl "rclone",
--baseurl "/rclone" and --baseurl "/rclone/" are all treated
identically.

TLS (SSL)

By default this will serve over http. If you want you can serve over
https. You will need to supply the --cert and --key flags. If you wish
to do client side certificate validation then you will need to supply
--client-ca also.

--cert should be a either a PEM encoded certificate or a concatenation
of that with the CA certificate. --key should be the PEM encoded private
key and --client-ca should be the PEM encoded client certificate
authority certificate.

--min-tls-version is minimum TLS version that is acceptable. Valid
values are "tls1.0", "tls1.1", "tls1.2" and "tls1.3" (default "tls1.0").

Authentication

By default this will serve files without needing a login.

You can either use an htpasswd file which can take lots of users, or set
a single username and password with the --user and --pass flags.

If no static users are configured by either of the above methods, and
client certificates are required by the --client-ca flag passed to the
server, the client certificate common name will be considered as the
username.

Use --htpasswd /path/to/htpasswd to provide an htpasswd file. This is in
standard apache format and supports MD5, SHA1 and BCrypt for basic
authentication. Bcrypt is recommended.

To create an htpasswd file:

    touch htpasswd
    htpasswd -B htpasswd user
    htpasswd -B htpasswd anotherUser

The password file can be updated while rclone is running.

Use --realm to set the authentication realm.

Use --salt to change the password hashing salt from the default.

rclone serve sftp

Serve the remote over SFTP.

Synopsis

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 sftp to use with it.

You can use the filter flags (e.g. --include, --exclude) to control what
is served.

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.

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 chunk_size option on an sftp remote.

The server will log errors. Use -v to see access logs.

--bwlimit will be respected for file transfers. Use --stats to control
the stats printing.

You must provide some means of authentication, either with
--user/--pass, an authorized keys file (specify location with
--authorized-keys - the default is the same as ssh), an --auth-proxy, or
set the --no-auth flag for no authentication when logging in.

If you don't supply a host --key then rclone will generate rsa, ecdsa
and ed25519 variants, and cache them for later use in rclone's cache
directory (see rclone help flags cache-dir) in the "serve-sftp"
directory.

By default the server binds to localhost:2022 - if you want it to be
reachable externally then supply --addr :2022 for example.

Note that the default of --vfs-cache-mode off is fine for the rclone
sftp backend, but it may not be with other SFTP clients.

If --stdio is specified, rclone will serve SFTP over stdio, which can be
used with sshd via ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, for example:

    restrict,command="rclone serve sftp --stdio ./photos" ssh-rsa ...

On the client you need to set --transfers 1 when using --stdio.
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.

The "restrict" in authorized_keys prevents SHA1SUMs and MD5SUMs from
being used. Omitting "restrict" and using --sftp-path-override to enable
checksumming is possible but less secure and you could use the SFTP
server provided by OpenSSH in this case.

VFS - Virtual File System

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.

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.

The VFS layer also implements a directory cache - this caches info about
files and directories (but not the data) in memory.

VFS Directory Cache

Using the --dir-cache-time 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.

    --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)

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.

You can send a SIGHUP 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:

    kill -SIGHUP $(pidof rclone)

If you configure rclone with a remote control then you can use rclone rc
to flush the whole directory cache:

    rclone rc vfs/forget

Or individual files or directories:

    rclone rc vfs/forget file=path/to/file dir=path/to/dir

VFS File Buffering

The --buffer-size flag determines the amount of memory, that will be
used to buffer data in advance.

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.

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.

The maximum memory used by rclone for buffering can be up to
--buffer-size * open files.

VFS File Caching

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.

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.

Note that the VFS cache is separate from the cache backend and you may
find that you need one or the other or both.

    --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)

If run with -vv 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 --cache-dir or setting the appropriate
environment variable.

The cache has 4 different modes selected by --vfs-cache-mode. The higher
the cache mode the more compatible rclone becomes at the cost of using
disk space.

Note that files are written back to the remote only when they are closed
and if they haven't been accessed for --vfs-write-back 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.

If using --vfs-cache-max-size or --vfs-cache-min-free-size note that the
cache may exceed these quotas for two reasons. Firstly because it is
only checked every --vfs-cache-poll-interval. Secondly because open
files cannot be evicted from the cache. When --vfs-cache-max-size or
--vfs-cache-min-free-size 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.

The --vfs-cache-max-age 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 .

You should not run two copies of rclone using the same VFS cache with
the same or overlapping remotes if using --vfs-cache-mode > off. This
can potentially cause data corruption if you do. You can work around
this by giving each rclone its own cache hierarchy with --cache-dir. You
don't need to worry about this if the remotes in use don't overlap.

--vfs-cache-mode off

In this mode (the default) the cache will read directly from the remote
and write directly to the remote without caching anything on disk.

This will mean some operations are not possible

-   Files can't be opened for both read AND write
-   Files opened for write can't be seeked
-   Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set
-   Files open for read with O_TRUNC will be opened write only
-   Files open for write only will behave as if O_TRUNC was supplied
-   Open modes O_APPEND, O_TRUNC are ignored
-   If an upload fails it can't be retried

--vfs-cache-mode minimal

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.

These operations are not possible

-   Files opened for write only can't be seeked
-   Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set
-   Files opened for write only will ignore O_APPEND, O_TRUNC
-   If an upload fails it can't be retried

--vfs-cache-mode writes

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.

This mode should support all normal file system operations.

If an upload fails it will be retried at exponentially increasing
intervals up to 1 minute.

--vfs-cache-mode full

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.

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.

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.

This mode should support all normal file system operations and is
otherwise identical to --vfs-cache-mode writes.

When reading a file rclone will read --buffer-size plus --vfs-read-ahead
bytes ahead. The --buffer-size is buffered in memory whereas the
--vfs-read-ahead is buffered on disk.

When using this mode it is recommended that --buffer-size is not set too
large and --vfs-read-ahead is set large if required.

IMPORTANT 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.

Fingerprinting

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:

-   size
-   modification time
-   hash

where available on an object.

On some backends some of these attributes are slow to read (they take an
extra API call per object, or extra work per object).

For example hash is slow with the local and sftp backends as they have
to read the entire file and hash it, and modtime is slow with the s3,
swift, ftp and qinqstor backends because they need to do an extra API
call to fetch it.

If you use the --vfs-fast-fingerprint 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.

If you are running a vfs cache over local, s3 or swift backends then
using this flag is recommended.

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.

VFS Chunked Reading

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.

These flags control the chunking:

    --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)

Rclone will start reading a chunk of size --vfs-read-chunk-size, and
then double the size for each read. When --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit is
specified, and greater than --vfs-read-chunk-size, 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.

With --vfs-read-chunk-size 100M and --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 0 the
following parts will be downloaded: 0-100M, 100M-200M, 200M-300M,
300M-400M and so on. When --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 500M is specified,
the result would be 0-100M, 100M-300M, 300M-700M, 700M-1200M,
1200M-1700M and so on.

Setting --vfs-read-chunk-size to 0 or "off" disables chunked reading.

VFS Performance

These flags may be used to enable/disable features of the VFS for
performance or other reasons. See also the chunked reading feature.

In particular S3 and Swift benefit hugely from the --no-modtime flag (or
use --use-server-modtime for a slightly different effect) as each read
of the modification time takes a transaction.

    --no-checksum     Don't compare checksums on up/download.
    --no-modtime      Don't read/write the modification time (can speed things up).
    --no-seek         Don't allow seeking in files.
    --read-only       Only allow read-only access.

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.

    --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)

When using VFS write caching (--vfs-cache-mode with value writes or
full), the global flag --transfers can be set to adjust the number of
parallel uploads of modified files from the cache (the related global
flag --checkers has no effect on the VFS).

    --transfers int  Number of file transfers to run in parallel (default 4)

VFS Case Sensitivity

Linux file systems are case-sensitive: two files can differ only by
case, and the exact case must be used when opening a file.

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.

Usually file systems on macOS are case-insensitive. It is possible to
make macOS file systems case-sensitive but that is not the default.

The --vfs-case-insensitive 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.

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.

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.

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".

VFS Disk Options

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.

    --vfs-disk-space-total-size    Manually set the total disk space size (example: 256G, default: -1)

Alternate report of used bytes

Some backends, most notably S3, do not report the amount of bytes used.
If you need this information to be available when running df on the
filesystem, then pass the flag --vfs-used-is-size to rclone. With this
flag set, instead of relying on the backend to report this information,
rclone will scan the whole remote similar to rclone size and compute the
total used space itself.

WARNING. Contrary to rclone size, 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.

Auth Proxy

If you supply the parameter --auth-proxy /path/to/program 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.

PLEASE NOTE: --auth-proxy and --authorized-keys cannot be used together,
if --auth-proxy is set the authorized keys option will be ignored.

There is an example program bin/test_proxy.py in the rclone source code.

The program's job is to take a user and pass 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.

This config generated must have this extra parameter - _root - root to
use for the backend

And it may have this parameter - _obscure - comma separated strings for
parameters to obscure

If password authentication was used by the client, input to the proxy
process (on STDIN) would look similar to this:

    {
        "user": "me",
        "pass": "mypassword"
    }

If public-key authentication was used by the client, input to the proxy
process (on STDIN) would look similar to this:

    {
        "user": "me",
        "public_key": "AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQDuwESFdAe14hVS6omeyX7edc...JQdf"
    }

And as an example return this on STDOUT

    {
        "type": "sftp",
        "_root": "",
        "_obscure": "pass",
        "user": "me",
        "pass": "mypassword",
        "host": "sftp.example.com"
    }

This would mean that an SFTP backend would be created on the fly for the
user and pass/public_key returned in the output to the host given. Note
that since _obscure is set to pass, rclone will obscure the pass
parameter before creating the backend (which is required for sftp
backends).

The program can manipulate the supplied user in any way, for example to
make proxy to many different sftp backends, you could make the user be
user@example.com and then set the host to example.com in the output and
the user to user. For security you'd probably want to restrict the host
to a limited list.

Note that an internal cache is keyed on user so only use that for
configuration, don't use pass or public_key. 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.

This can be used to build general purpose proxies to any kind of backend
that rclone supports.

SEE ALSO

-   rclone serve - Serve a remote over a protocol.

rclone serve webdav

Serve remote:path over WebDAV.

Synopsis

Run a basic WebDAV server to serve a remote over HTTP via the WebDAV
protocol. This can be viewed with a WebDAV client, through a web
browser, or you can make a remote of type WebDAV to read and write it.

WebDAV options

--etag-hash

This controls the ETag header. Without this flag the ETag will be based
on the ModTime and Size of the object.

If this flag is set to "auto" then rclone will choose the first
supported hash on the backend or you can use a named hash such as "MD5"
or "SHA-1". Use the hashsum command to see the full list.

Access WebDAV on Windows

WebDAV shared folder can be mapped as a drive on Windows, however the
default settings prevent it. Windows will fail to connect to the server
using insecure Basic authentication. It will not even display any login
dialog. Windows requires SSL / HTTPS connection to be used with Basic.
If you try to connect via Add Network Location Wizard you will get the
following error: "The folder you entered does not appear to be valid.
Please choose another". However, you still can connect if you set the
following registry key on a client machine: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEto 2. The
BasicAuthLevel can be set to the following values: 0 - Basic
authentication disabled 1 - Basic authentication enabled for SSL
connections only 2 - Basic authentication enabled for SSL connections
and for non-SSL connections If required, increase the
FileSizeLimitInBytes to a higher value. Navigate to the Services
interface, then restart the WebClient service.

Access Office applications on WebDAV

Navigate to following registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER[14.0/15.0/16.0] Create
a new DWORD BasicAuthLevel with value 2. 0 - Basic authentication
disabled 1 - Basic authentication enabled for SSL connections only 2 -
Basic authentication enabled for SSL and for non-SSL connections

Server options

Use --addr to specify which IP address and port the server should listen
on, eg --addr 1.2.3.4:8000 or --addr :8080 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.

If you set --addr to listen on a public or LAN accessible IP address
then using Authentication is advised - see the next section for info.

You can use a unix socket by setting the url to unix:///path/to/socket
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.

--addr may be repeated to listen on multiple IPs/ports/sockets.

--server-read-timeout and --server-write-timeout can be used to control
the timeouts on the server. Note that this is the total time for a
transfer.

--max-header-bytes controls the maximum number of bytes the server will
accept in the HTTP header.

--baseurl controls the URL prefix that rclone serves from. By default
rclone will serve from the root. If you used --baseurl "/rclone" 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 --baseurl, so --baseurl "rclone",
--baseurl "/rclone" and --baseurl "/rclone/" are all treated
identically.

TLS (SSL)

By default this will serve over http. If you want you can serve over
https. You will need to supply the --cert and --key flags. If you wish
to do client side certificate validation then you will need to supply
--client-ca also.

--cert should be a either a PEM encoded certificate or a concatenation
of that with the CA certificate. --key should be the PEM encoded private
key and --client-ca should be the PEM encoded client certificate
authority certificate.

--min-tls-version is minimum TLS version that is acceptable. Valid
values are "tls1.0", "tls1.1", "tls1.2" and "tls1.3" (default "tls1.0").

Template

--template 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:

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Parameter                           Description
  ----------------------------------- -----------------------------------
  .Name                               The full path of a file/directory.

  .Title                              Directory listing of .Name

  .Sort                               The current sort used. This is
                                      changeable via ?sort= parameter

                                      Sort Options:
                                      namedirfirst,name,size,time
                                      (default namedirfirst)

  .Order                              The current ordering used. This is
                                      changeable via ?order= parameter

                                      Order Options: asc,desc (default
                                      asc)

  .Query                              Currently unused.

  .Breadcrumb                         Allows for creating a relative
                                      navigation

  -- .Link                            The relative to the root link of
                                      the Text.

  -- .Text                            The Name of the directory.

  .Entries                            Information about a specific
                                      file/directory.

  -- .URL                             The 'url' of an entry.

  -- .Leaf                            Currently same as 'URL' but
                                      intended to be 'just' the name.

  -- .IsDir                           Boolean for if an entry is a
                                      directory or not.

  -- .Size                            Size in Bytes of the entry.

  -- .ModTime                         The UTC timestamp of an entry.
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Authentication

By default this will serve files without needing a login.

You can either use an htpasswd file which can take lots of users, or set
a single username and password with the --user and --pass flags.

If no static users are configured by either of the above methods, and
client certificates are required by the --client-ca flag passed to the
server, the client certificate common name will be considered as the
username.

Use --htpasswd /path/to/htpasswd to provide an htpasswd file. This is in
standard apache format and supports MD5, SHA1 and BCrypt for basic
authentication. Bcrypt is recommended.

To create an htpasswd file:

    touch htpasswd
    htpasswd -B htpasswd user
    htpasswd -B htpasswd anotherUser

The password file can be updated while rclone is running.

Use --realm to set the authentication realm.

Use --salt to change the password hashing salt from the default.

VFS - Virtual File System

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.

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.

The VFS layer also implements a directory cache - this caches info about
files and directories (but not the data) in memory.

VFS Directory Cache

Using the --dir-cache-time 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.

    --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)

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.

You can send a SIGHUP 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:

    kill -SIGHUP $(pidof rclone)

If you configure rclone with a remote control then you can use rclone rc
to flush the whole directory cache:

    rclone rc vfs/forget

Or individual files or directories:

    rclone rc vfs/forget file=path/to/file dir=path/to/dir

VFS File Buffering

The --buffer-size flag determines the amount of memory, that will be
used to buffer data in advance.

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.

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.

The maximum memory used by rclone for buffering can be up to
--buffer-size * open files.

VFS File Caching

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.

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.

Note that the VFS cache is separate from the cache backend and you may
find that you need one or the other or both.

    --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)

If run with -vv 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 --cache-dir or setting the appropriate
environment variable.

The cache has 4 different modes selected by --vfs-cache-mode. The higher
the cache mode the more compatible rclone becomes at the cost of using
disk space.

Note that files are written back to the remote only when they are closed
and if they haven't been accessed for --vfs-write-back 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.

If using --vfs-cache-max-size or --vfs-cache-min-free-size note that the
cache may exceed these quotas for two reasons. Firstly because it is
only checked every --vfs-cache-poll-interval. Secondly because open
files cannot be evicted from the cache. When --vfs-cache-max-size or
--vfs-cache-min-free-size 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.

The --vfs-cache-max-age 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 .

You should not run two copies of rclone using the same VFS cache with
the same or overlapping remotes if using --vfs-cache-mode > off. This
can potentially cause data corruption if you do. You can work around
this by giving each rclone its own cache hierarchy with --cache-dir. You
don't need to worry about this if the remotes in use don't overlap.

--vfs-cache-mode off

In this mode (the default) the cache will read directly from the remote
and write directly to the remote without caching anything on disk.

This will mean some operations are not possible

-   Files can't be opened for both read AND write
-   Files opened for write can't be seeked
-   Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set
-   Files open for read with O_TRUNC will be opened write only
-   Files open for write only will behave as if O_TRUNC was supplied
-   Open modes O_APPEND, O_TRUNC are ignored
-   If an upload fails it can't be retried

--vfs-cache-mode minimal

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.

These operations are not possible

-   Files opened for write only can't be seeked
-   Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set
-   Files opened for write only will ignore O_APPEND, O_TRUNC
-   If an upload fails it can't be retried

--vfs-cache-mode writes

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.

This mode should support all normal file system operations.

If an upload fails it will be retried at exponentially increasing
intervals up to 1 minute.

--vfs-cache-mode full

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.

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.

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.

This mode should support all normal file system operations and is
otherwise identical to --vfs-cache-mode writes.

When reading a file rclone will read --buffer-size plus --vfs-read-ahead
bytes ahead. The --buffer-size is buffered in memory whereas the
--vfs-read-ahead is buffered on disk.

When using this mode it is recommended that --buffer-size is not set too
large and --vfs-read-ahead is set large if required.

IMPORTANT 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.

Fingerprinting

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:

-   size
-   modification time
-   hash

where available on an object.

On some backends some of these attributes are slow to read (they take an
extra API call per object, or extra work per object).

For example hash is slow with the local and sftp backends as they have
to read the entire file and hash it, and modtime is slow with the s3,
swift, ftp and qinqstor backends because they need to do an extra API
call to fetch it.

If you use the --vfs-fast-fingerprint 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.

If you are running a vfs cache over local, s3 or swift backends then
using this flag is recommended.

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.

VFS Chunked Reading

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.

These flags control the chunking:

    --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)

Rclone will start reading a chunk of size --vfs-read-chunk-size, and
then double the size for each read. When --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit is
specified, and greater than --vfs-read-chunk-size, 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.

With --vfs-read-chunk-size 100M and --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 0 the
following parts will be downloaded: 0-100M, 100M-200M, 200M-300M,
300M-400M and so on. When --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 500M is specified,
the result would be 0-100M, 100M-300M, 300M-700M, 700M-1200M,
1200M-1700M and so on.

Setting --vfs-read-chunk-size to 0 or "off" disables chunked reading.

VFS Performance

These flags may be used to enable/disable features of the VFS for
performance or other reasons. See also the chunked reading feature.

In particular S3 and Swift benefit hugely from the --no-modtime flag (or
use --use-server-modtime for a slightly different effect) as each read
of the modification time takes a transaction.

    --no-checksum     Don't compare checksums on up/download.
    --no-modtime      Don't read/write the modification time (can speed things up).
    --no-seek         Don't allow seeking in files.
    --read-only       Only allow read-only access.

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.

    --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)

When using VFS write caching (--vfs-cache-mode with value writes or
full), the global flag --transfers can be set to adjust the number of
parallel uploads of modified files from the cache (the related global
flag --checkers has no effect on the VFS).

    --transfers int  Number of file transfers to run in parallel (default 4)

VFS Case Sensitivity

Linux file systems are case-sensitive: two files can differ only by
case, and the exact case must be used when opening a file.

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.

Usually file systems on macOS are case-insensitive. It is possible to
make macOS file systems case-sensitive but that is not the default.

The --vfs-case-insensitive 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.

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.

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.

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".

VFS Disk Options

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.

    --vfs-disk-space-total-size    Manually set the total disk space size (example: 256G, default: -1)

Alternate report of used bytes

Some backends, most notably S3, do not report the amount of bytes used.
If you need this information to be available when running df on the
filesystem, then pass the flag --vfs-used-is-size to rclone. With this
flag set, instead of relying on the backend to report this information,
rclone will scan the whole remote similar to rclone size and compute the
total used space itself.

WARNING. Contrary to rclone size, 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.

Auth Proxy

If you supply the parameter --auth-proxy /path/to/program 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.

PLEASE NOTE: --auth-proxy and --authorized-keys cannot be used together,
if --auth-proxy is set the authorized keys option will be ignored.

There is an example program bin/test_proxy.py in the rclone source code.

The program's job is to take a user and pass 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.

This config generated must have this extra parameter - _root - root to
use for the backend

And it may have this parameter - _obscure - comma separated strings for
parameters to obscure

If password authentication was used by the client, input to the proxy
process (on STDIN) would look similar to this:

    {
        "user": "me",
        "pass": "mypassword"
    }

If public-key authentication was used by the client, input to the proxy
process (on STDIN) would look similar to this:

    {
        "user": "me",
        "public_key": "AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQDuwESFdAe14hVS6omeyX7edc...JQdf"
    }

And as an example return this on STDOUT

    {
        "type": "sftp",
        "_root": "",
        "_obscure": "pass",
        "user": "me",
        "pass": "mypassword",
        "host": "sftp.example.com"
    }

This would mean that an SFTP backend would be created on the fly for the
user and pass/public_key returned in the output to the host given. Note
that since _obscure is set to pass, rclone will obscure the pass
parameter before creating the backend (which is required for sftp
backends).

The program can manipulate the supplied user in any way, for example to
make proxy to many different sftp backends, you could make the user be
user@example.com and then set the host to example.com in the output and
the user to user. For security you'd probably want to restrict the host
to a limited list.

Note that an internal cache is keyed on user so only use that for
configuration, don't use pass or public_key. 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.

This can be used to build general purpose proxies to any kind of backend
that rclone supports.

rclone settier

Changes storage class/tier of objects in remote.

Synopsis

rclone settier changes storage tier or class at remote if supported. Few
cloud storage services provides different storage classes on objects,
for example AWS S3 and Glacier, Azure Blob storage - Hot, Cool and
Archive, Google Cloud Storage, Regional Storage, Nearline, Coldline etc.

Note that, certain tier changes make objects not available to access
immediately. For example tiering to archive in azure blob storage makes
objects in frozen state, user can restore by setting tier to Hot/Cool,
similarly S3 to Glacier makes object inaccessible.true

You can use it to tier single object

    rclone settier Cool remote:path/file

Or use rclone filters to set tier on only specific files

    rclone --include "*.txt" settier Hot remote:path/dir

Or just provide remote directory and all files in directory will be
tiered

    rclone settier tier remote:path/dir

rclone touch

Create new file or change file modification time.

Synopsis

Set the modification time on file(s) as specified by remote:path to have
the current time.

If remote:path does not exist then a zero sized file will be created,
unless --no-create or --recursive is provided.

If --recursive is used then recursively sets the modification time on
all existing files that is found under the path. Filters are supported,
and you can test with the --dry-run or the --interactive/-i flag.

If --timestamp is used then sets the modification time to that time
instead of the current time. Times may be specified as one of:

-   'YYMMDD' - e.g. 17.10.30
-   'YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS' - e.g. 2006-01-02T15:04:05
-   'YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.SSS' - e.g. 2006-01-02T15:04:05.123456789

Note that value of --timestamp is in UTC. If you want local time then
add the --localtime flag.

    rclone touch remote:path [flags]

Options

      -h, --help               help for touch
          --localtime          Use localtime for timestamp, not UTC
      -C, --no-create          Do not create the file if it does not exist (implied with --recursive)
      -R, --recursive          Recursively touch all files

rclone tree

List the contents of the remote in a tree like fashion.

Synopsis

rclone tree lists the contents of a remote in a similar way to the unix
tree command.

For example

    $ rclone tree remote:path
    /
    ├── file1
    ├── file2
    ├── file3
    └── subdir
        ├── file4
        └── file5

    1 directories, 5 files

You can use any of the filtering options with the tree command (e.g.
--include and --exclude. You can also use --fast-list.

The tree command has many options for controlling the listing which are
compatible with the tree command, for example you can include file sizes
with --size. Note that not all of them have short options as they
conflict with rclone's short options.

For a more interactive navigation of the remote see the ncdu command.

Copying single files

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
Failed to create file system for "remote:file": is a file not a directory
if it isn't.

For example, suppose you have a remote with a file in called test.jpg,
then you could copy just that file like this

    rclone copy remote:test.jpg /tmp/download

The file test.jpg will be placed inside /tmp/download.

This is equivalent to specifying

    rclone copy --files-from /tmp/files remote: /tmp/download

Where /tmp/files contains the single line

    test.jpg

It is recommended to use copy when copying individual files, not sync.
They have pretty much the same effect but copy will use a lot less
memory.

Syntax of remote paths

The syntax of the paths passed to the rclone command are as follows.

/path/to/dir

This refers to the local file system.

On Windows \ may be used instead of / in local paths only, non local
paths must use /. See local filesystem documentation for more about
Windows-specific paths.

These paths needn't start with a leading / - if they don't then they
will be relative to the current directory.

remote:path/to/dir

This refers to a directory path/to/dir on remote: as defined in the
config file (configured with rclone config).

remote:/path/to/dir

On most backends this is refers to the same directory as
remote:path/to/dir 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 / will refer to
your "home" directory and paths with a leading / will refer to the root.

:backend:path/to/dir

This is an advanced form for creating remotes on the fly. backend should
be the name or prefix of a backend (the type in the config file) and all
the configuration for the backend should be provided on the command line
(or in environment variables).

Here are some examples:

    rclone lsd --http-url https://pub.rclone.org :http:

To list all the directories in the root of https://pub.rclone.org/.

    rclone lsf --http-url https://example.com :http:path/to/dir

To list files and directories in https://example.com/path/to/dir/

    rclone copy --http-url https://example.com :http:path/to/dir /tmp/dir

To copy files and directories in https://example.com/path/to/dir to
/tmp/dir.

    rclone copy --sftp-host example.com :sftp:path/to/dir /tmp/dir

To copy files and directories from example.com in the relative directory
path/to/dir to /tmp/dir using sftp.

Connection strings

The above examples can also be written using a connection string syntax,
so instead of providing the arguments as command line parameters
--http-url https://pub.rclone.org they are provided as part of the
remote specification as a kind of connection string.

    rclone lsd ":http,url='https://pub.rclone.org':"
    rclone lsf ":http,url='https://example.com':path/to/dir"
    rclone copy ":http,url='https://example.com':path/to/dir" /tmp/dir
    rclone copy :sftp,host=example.com:path/to/dir /tmp/dir

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
--drive-shared-with-me parameter to the remote gdrive:.

    rclone lsf "gdrive,shared_with_me:path/to/dir"

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 does not work because
the --drive-shared-with-me flag applies to both the source and the
destination.

    rclone copy --drive-shared-with-me gdrive:shared-file.txt gdrive:

However using the connection string syntax, this does work.

    rclone copy "gdrive,shared_with_me:shared-file.txt" gdrive:

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 will not work as intended, because
shared_with_me is ignored by the crypt backend:

    rclone copy "gdriveCrypt,shared_with_me:shared-file.txt" gdriveCrypt:

The connection strings have the following syntax

    remote,parameter=value,parameter2=value2:path/to/dir
    :backend,parameter=value,parameter2=value2:path/to/dir

If the parameter has a : or , then it must be placed in quotes " or ',
so

    remote,parameter="colon:value",parameter2="comma,value":path/to/dir
    :backend,parameter='colon:value',parameter2='comma,value':path/to/dir

If a quoted value needs to include that quote, then it should be
doubled, so

    remote,parameter="with""quote",parameter2='with''quote':path/to/dir

This will make parameter be with"quote and parameter2 be with'quote.

If you leave off the =parameter then rclone will substitute =true which
works very well with flags. For example, to use s3 configured in the
environment you could use:

    rclone lsd :s3,env_auth:

Which is equivalent to

    rclone lsd :s3,env_auth=true:

Note that on the command line you might need to surround these
connection strings with " or ' to stop the shell interpreting any
special characters within them.

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 " and use ' as
the inside quote. This syntax works on all OSes.

    rclone copy ":http,url='https://example.com':path/to/dir" /tmp/dir

On Linux/macOS some characters are still interpreted inside " strings in
the shell (notably \ and $ and ") so if your strings contain those you
can swap the roles of " and ' thus. (This syntax does not work on
Windows.)

    rclone copy ':http,url="https://example.com":path/to/dir' /tmp/dir

Connection strings, config and logging

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

    rclone -vv lsf --s3-chunk-size 20M s3:

Has the log message

    DEBUG : s3: detected overridden config - adding "{Srj1p}" suffix to name

This is so rclone can tell the modified remote apart from the unmodified
remote when caching the backends.

This should only be noticeable in the logs.

This means that on the fly backends such as

    rclone -vv lsf :s3,env_auth:

Will get their own names

    DEBUG : :s3: detected overridden config - adding "{YTu53}" suffix to name

Valid remote names

Remote names are case sensitive, and must adhere to the following rules:
- May contain number, letter, _, -, ., +, @ and space. - May not start
with - or space. - May not end with space.

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".

Do not use single character names on Windows as it creates ambiguity
with Windows drives' names, e.g.: remote called C is indistinguishable
from C drive. Rclone will always assume that single letter name refers
to a drive.

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 (e.g. *, ?, $, ', ",
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 ", e.g.

    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 ", e.g.

    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), e.g.

    rclone copy E:\ remote:backup

Copying files or directories with : in the names

rclone uses : 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 : up to the first / so if you need to act on a file or directory
like this then use the full path starting with a /, or use ./ as a
current directory prefix.

So to sync a directory called sync:me to a remote called remote: use

    rclone sync --interactive ./sync:me remote:path

or

    rclone sync --interactive /full/path/to/sync:me remote:path

Server Side Copy

Most remotes (but not all - see the overview) 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 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. The move 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.

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, e.g.

    rclone sync --interactive remote:current-backup remote:previous-backup
    rclone sync --interactive /path/to/files remote:current-backup

Metadata support

Metadata is data about a file which isn't the contents of the file.
Normally rclone only preserves the modification time and the content
(MIME) type where possible.

Rclone supports preserving all the available metadata on files (not
directories) when using the --metadata or -M flag.

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 features table (Eg local, s3)

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 Content-Type without the
--metadata flag.

Using --metadata when syncing from local to local will preserve file
attributes such as file mode, owner, extended attributes (not Windows).

Note that arbitrary metadata may be added to objects using the
--metadata-set key=value flag when the object is first uploaded. This
flag can be repeated as many times as necessary.

Types of metadata

Metadata is divided into two type. System metadata and User metadata.

Metadata which the backend uses itself is called system metadata. For
example on the local backend the system metadata uid will store the user
ID of the file when used on a unix based platform.

Arbitrary metadata is called user metadata and this can be set however
is desired.

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
content-type metadata. In a backend which understands this (like
azureblob) this will become the Content-Type of the object. In a backend
which doesn't understand this (like the local backend) this will become
user metadata. However should the local object be copied back to s3, the
Content-Type will be set correctly.

Metadata framework

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.

This metadata is stored as a dictionary with string keys and string
values.

There are some limits on the names of the keys (these may be clarified
further in the future).

-   must be lower case
-   may be a-z 0-9 containing . - or _
-   length is backend dependent

Each backend can provide system metadata that it understands. Some
backends can also store arbitrary user metadata.

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.

Some backends have limits on the size of the metadata and rclone will
give errors on upload if they are exceeded.

Metadata preservation

The goal of the implementation is to

1.  Preserve metadata if at all possible
2.  Interpret metadata if at all possible

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.

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.

Standard system metadata

Here is a table of standard system metadata which, if appropriate, a
backend may implement.

The metadata keys mtime and content-type will take precedence if
supplied in the metadata over reading the Content-Type or modification
time of the source object.

Hashes are not included in system metadata as there is a well defined
way of reading those already.

Options

Rclone has a number of options to control its behaviour.

Options that take parameters can have the values passed in two ways,
--option=value or --option value. However boolean (true/false) options
behave slightly differently to the other options in that --boolean sets
the option to true and the absence of the flag sets it to false. It is
also possible to specify --boolean=false or --boolean=true. Note that
--boolean false is not valid - this is parsed as --boolean and the false
is parsed as an extra command line argument for rclone.

Time or duration options

TIME or DURATION options can be specified as a duration string or a time
string.

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:

-   ms - Milliseconds
-   s - Seconds
-   m - Minutes
-   h - Hours
-   d - Days
-   w - Weeks
-   M - Months
-   y - Years

These can also be specified as an absolute time in the following
formats:

-   RFC3339 - e.g. 2006-01-02T15:04:05Z or 2006-01-02T15:04:05+07:00
-   ISO8601 Date and time, local timezone - 2006-01-02T15:04:05
-   ISO8601 Date and time, local timezone - 2006-01-02 15:04:05
-   ISO8601 Date - 2006-01-02 (YYYY-MM-DD)

Size options

Options which use SIZE use KiB (multiples of 1024 bytes) by default.
However, a suffix of B for Byte, K for KiB, M for MiB, G for GiB, T for
TiB and P for PiB may be used. These are the binary units, e.g. 1,
2**10, 2**20, 2**30 respectively.

--backup-dir=DIR

When using sync, copy or move any files which would have been
overwritten or deleted are moved in their original hierarchy into this
directory.

If --suffix 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.

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.

For example

    rclone sync --interactive /path/to/local remote:current --backup-dir remote:old

will sync /path/to/local to remote:current, but for any files which
would have been updated or deleted will be stored in remote:old.

If running rclone from a script you might want to use today's date as
the directory name passed to --backup-dir to store the old files, or you
might want to pass --suffix with today's date.

See --compare-dest and --copy-dest.

--bind string

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.

You can use --bind 0.0.0.0 to force rclone to use IPv4 addresses and
--bind ::0 to force rclone to use IPv6 addresses.

--bwlimit=BANDWIDTH_SPEC

This option controls the bandwidth limit. For example

    --bwlimit 10M

would mean limit the upload and download bandwidth to 10 MiB/s. NB this
is bytes per second not bits 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 0 which means to not limit bandwidth.

The upload and download bandwidth can be specified separately, as
--bwlimit UP:DOWN, so

    --bwlimit 10M:100k

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

    --bwlimit 10M:off

this would limit the upload bandwidth to 10 MiB/s but the download
bandwidth would be unlimited.

When specified as above the bandwidth limits last for the duration of
run of the rclone binary.

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
WEEKDAY-HH:MM,BANDWIDTH WEEKDAY-HH:MM,BANDWIDTH... where: WEEKDAY is
optional element.

-   BANDWIDTH can be a single number, e.g.100k or a pair of numbers for
    upload:download, e.g.10M:1M.
-   WEEKDAY can be written as the whole word or only using the first 3
    characters. It is optional.
-   HH:MM is an hour from 00:00 to 23:59.

An example of a typical timetable to avoid link saturation during
daytime working hours could be:

--bwlimit "08:00,512k 12:00,10M 13:00,512k 18:00,30M 23:00,off"

In this example, 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.

An example of timetable with WEEKDAY could be:

--bwlimit "Mon-00:00,512 Fri-23:59,10M Sat-10:00,1M Sun-20:00,off"

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.

Timeslots without WEEKDAY are extended to the whole week. So this
example:

--bwlimit "Mon-00:00,512 12:00,1M Sun-20:00,off"

Is equivalent to this:

--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"

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, ftp, sftp and storj).

Note that the units are Byte/s, not bit/s. 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 --bwlimit 0.625M
parameter for rclone.

On Unix systems (Linux, macOS, …) the bandwidth limiter can be toggled
by sending a SIGUSR2 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 --bwlimit quickly when needed. Assuming there
is only one rclone instance running, you can toggle the limiter like
this:

    kill -SIGUSR2 $(pidof rclone)

If you configure rclone with a remote control then you can use change
the bwlimit dynamically:

    rclone rc core/bwlimit rate=1M

--bwlimit-file=BANDWIDTH_SPEC

This option controls per file bandwidth limit. For the options see the
--bwlimit flag.

For example use this to allow no transfers to be faster than 1 MiB/s

    --bwlimit-file 1M

This can be used in conjunction with --bwlimit.

Note that if a schedule is provided the file will use the schedule in
effect at the start of the transfer.

--buffer-size=SIZE

Use this sized buffer to speed up file transfers. Each --transfer will
use this much memory for buffering.

When using mount or cmount each open file descriptor will use this much
memory for buffering. See the mount documentation for more details.

Set to 0 to disable the buffering for the minimum memory usage.

Note that the memory allocation of the buffers is influenced by the
--use-mmap flag.

--cache-dir=DIR

Specify the directory rclone will use for caching, to override the
default.

Default value is depending on operating system: - Windows
%LocalAppData%\rclone, if LocalAppData is defined. - macOS
$HOME/Library/Caches/rclone if HOME is defined. - Unix
$XDG_CACHE_HOME/rclone if XDG_CACHE_HOME is defined, else
$HOME/.cache/rclone if HOME is defined. - Fallback (on all OS) to
$TMPDIR/rclone, where TMPDIR is the value from --temp-dir.

You can use the config paths command to see the current value.

Cache directory is heavily used by the VFS File Caching mount feature,
but also by serve, GUI and other parts of rclone.

--check-first

If this flag is set then in a sync, copy or move, 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.

This flag can be useful on IO limited systems where transfers interfere
with checking.

It can also be useful to ensure perfect ordering when using --order-by.

If both --check-first and --order-by are set when doing rclone move 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.

Using this flag can use more memory as it effectively sets --max-backlog
to infinite. This means that all the info on the objects to transfer is
held in memory before the transfers start.

--checkers=N

Originally controlling just the number of file checkers to run in
parallel, e.g. by rclone copy. Now a fairly universal parallelism
control used by rclone in several places.

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.

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 --checkers 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.

-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, e.g. 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.

--color WHEN

Specify when colors (and other ANSI codes) should be added to the
output.

AUTO (default) only allows ANSI codes when the output is a terminal

NEVER never allow ANSI codes

ALWAYS always add ANSI codes, regardless of the output format (terminal
or file)

--compare-dest=DIR

When using sync, copy or move 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.

You must use the same remote as the destination of the sync. The compare
directory must not overlap the destination directory.

See --copy-dest and --backup-dir.

--config=CONFIG_FILE

Specify the location of the rclone configuration file, to override the
default. E.g. rclone config --config="rclone.conf".

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:

-   %APPDATA%/rclone/rclone.conf on Windows
-   ~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf on other

The complete logic is as follows: Rclone will look for an existing
configuration file in any of the following locations, in priority order:

1.  rclone.conf (in program directory, where rclone executable is)
2.  %APPDATA%/rclone/rclone.conf (only on Windows)
3.  $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/rclone/rclone.conf (on all systems, including
    Windows)
4.  ~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf (see below for explanation of ~ symbol)
5.  ~/.rclone.conf

If no existing configuration file is found, then a new one will be
created in the following location:

-   On Windows: Location 2 listed above, except in the unlikely event
    that APPDATA is not defined, then location 4 is used instead.
-   On Unix: Location 3 if XDG_CONFIG_HOME is defined, else location 4.
-   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
    .rclone.conf relative to current working directory will be used as a
    final resort.

The ~ symbol in paths above represent the home directory of the current
user on any OS, and the value is defined as following:

-   On Windows: %HOME% if defined, else %USERPROFILE%, or else
    %HOMEDRIVE%\%HOMEPATH%.
-   On Unix: $HOME 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 cd && pwd.

If you run rclone config file you will see where the default location is
for you.

The fact that an existing file rclone.conf 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 rclone.conf in the same directory.

If the location is set to empty string "" or path to a file with name
notfound, or the os null device represented by value NUL on Windows and
/dev/null on Unix systems, then rclone will keep the config file in
memory only.

The file format is basic INI: Sections of text, led by a [section]
header and followed by key=value 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 key=value
entries, where the key is the option name without the --backend- prefix,
in lowercase and with _ instead of -. E.g. option --mega-hard-delete
corresponds to key hard_delete. Only backend options can be specified. A
special, and required, key type identifies the storage system, where the
value is the internal lowercase name as returned by command
rclone help backends. Comments are indicated by ; or # at the beginning
of a line.

Example:

    [megaremote]
    type = mega
    user = you@example.com
    pass = PDPcQVVjVtzFY-GTdDFozqBhTdsPg3qH

Note that passwords are in obscured 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 rclone config instead of manually editing the configuration
file.

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 encrypt the file.

When token-based authentication are used, the configuration file must be
writable, because rclone needs to update the tokens inside it.

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.

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.

--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.

--copy-dest=DIR

When using sync, copy or move 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.

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.

See --compare-dest and --backup-dir.

--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.

--default-time TIME

If a file or directory does have a modification time rclone can read
then rclone will display this fixed time instead.

The default is 2000-01-01 00:00:00 UTC. This can be configured in any of
the ways shown in the time or duration options.

For example --default-time 2020-06-01 to set the default time to the 1st
of June 2020 or --default-time 0s to set the default time to the time
rclone started up.

--disable FEATURE,FEATURE,...

This disables a comma separated list of optional features. For example
to disable server-side move and server-side copy use:

    --disable move,copy

The features can be put in any case.

To see a list of which features can be disabled use:

    --disable help

The features a remote has can be seen in JSON format with:

    rclone backend features remote:

See the overview features and optional features to get an idea of which
feature does what.

Note that some features can be set to true if they are true/false
feature flag features by prefixing them with !. For example the
CaseInsensitive feature can be forced to false with
--disable CaseInsensitive and forced to true with
--disable '!CaseInsensitive'. In general it isn't a good idea doing this
but it may be useful in extremis.

(Note that ! is a shell command which you will need to escape with
single quotes or a backslash on unix like platforms.)

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).

--disable-http2

This stops rclone from trying to use HTTP/2 if available. This can
sometimes speed up transfers due to a problem in the Go standard
library.

--dscp VALUE

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.

See the description of differentiated services 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 (RFC 8622).

For example, if you configured QoS on router to handle LE properly.
Running:

    rclone copy --dscp LE from:/from to:/to

would make the priority lower than usual internet flows.

This option has no effect on Windows (see golang/go#42728).

-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.

--expect-continue-timeout=TIME

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.

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.

The default is 1s. Set to 0 to disable.

--error-on-no-transfer

By default, rclone will exit with return code 0 if there were no errors.

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.

NB: Enabling this option turns a usually non-fatal error into a
potentially fatal one - please check and adjust your scripts
accordingly!

--fs-cache-expire-duration=TIME

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.

This flag sets the time that the remotes are cached for. If you set it
to 0 (or negative) then rclone won't cache the remotes at all.

Note that if you use some flags, eg --backup-dir and if this is set to 0
rclone may build two remotes (one for the source or destination and one
for the --backup-dir where it may have only built one before.

--fs-cache-expire-interval=TIME

This controls how often rclone checks for cached remotes to expire. See
the --fs-cache-expire-duration documentation above for more info. The
default is 60s, set to 0 to disable expiry.

--header

Add an HTTP header for all transactions. The flag can be repeated to add
multiple headers.

If you want to add headers only for uploads use --header-upload and if
you want to add headers only for downloads use --header-download.

This flag is supported for all HTTP based backends even those not
supported by --header-upload and --header-download so may be used as a
workaround for those with care.

    rclone ls remote:test --header "X-Rclone: Foo" --header "X-LetMeIn: Yes"

--header-download

Add an HTTP header for all download transactions. The flag can be
repeated to add multiple headers.

    rclone sync --interactive s3:test/src ~/dst --header-download "X-Amz-Meta-Test: Foo" --header-download "X-Amz-Meta-Test2: Bar"

See the GitHub issue here for currently supported backends.

--header-upload

Add an HTTP header for all upload transactions. The flag can be repeated
to add multiple headers.

    rclone sync --interactive ~/src s3:test/dst --header-upload "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='cool.html'" --header-upload "X-Amz-Meta-Test: FooBar"

See the GitHub issue here for currently supported backends.

--human-readable

Rclone commands output values for sizes (e.g. number of bytes) and
counts (e.g. number of files) either as raw numbers, or in
human-readable format.

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. Ki for kibi. Used with byte
unit, 1 KiB means 1024 Byte. In list type of output, only the unit
prefix appended to the value (e.g. 9.762Ki), while in more textual
output the full unit is shown (e.g. 9.762 KiB). For counts the SI
standard notation is used, e.g. prefix k for kilo. Used with file
counts, 1k means 1000 files.

The various list commands output raw numbers by default. Option
--human-readable will make them output values in human-readable format
instead (with the short unit prefix).

The about command outputs human-readable by default, with a
command-specific option --full to output the raw numbers instead.

Command size outputs both human-readable and raw numbers in the same
output.

The tree command also considers --human-readable, 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. K instead of Ki. The reason for this
is that it relies on an external library.

The interactive command ncdu shows human-readable by default, and
responds to key u for toggling human-readable format.

--ignore-case-sync

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.

--ignore-checksum

Normally rclone will check that the checksums of transferred files
match, and give an error "corrupted on transfer" if they don't.

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.

--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.

When performing a move/moveto command, this flag will leave skipped
files in the source location unchanged when a file with the same name
exists on the destination.

--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).

--immutable

Treat source and destination files as immutable and disallow
modification.

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
Source and destination exist but do not match: immutable file modified.

Note that only commands which transfer files (e.g. sync, copy, move) are
affected by this behavior, and only modification is disallowed. Files
may still be deleted explicitly (e.g. delete, purge) or implicitly (e.g.
sync, move). Use copy --immutable if it is desired to avoid deletion as
well as modification.

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.

--inplace

The --inplace flag changes the behaviour of rclone when uploading files
to some backends (backends with the PartialUploads feature flag set)
such as:

-   local
-   ftp
-   sftp

Without --inplace (the default) rclone will first upload to a temporary
file with an extension like this where XXXXXX represents a random
string.

    original-file-name.XXXXXX.partial

(rclone will make sure the final name is no longer than 100 characters
by truncating the original-file-name part if necessary).

When the upload is complete, rclone will rename the .partial file to the
correct name, overwriting any existing file at that point. If the upload
fails then the .partial file will be deleted.

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.

If the --inplace flag is supplied, rclone will upload directly to the
final name without creating a .partial file.

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.

Note that on the local file system if you don't use --inplace hard links
(Unix only) will be broken. And if you do use --inplace you won't be
able to update in use executables.

Note also that versions of rclone prior to v1.63.0 behave as if the
--inplace flag is always supplied.

-i, --interactive

This flag can be used to tell rclone that you wish a manual confirmation
before destructive operations.

It is recommended that you use this flag while learning rclone
especially with rclone sync.

For example

    $ rclone delete --interactive /tmp/dir
    rclone: delete "important-file.txt"?
    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> n

The options mean

-   y: Yes, this operation should go ahead. You can also press Return
    for this to happen. You'll be asked every time unless you choose s
    or !.
-   n: No, do not do this operation. You'll be asked every time unless
    you choose s or !.
-   s: Skip 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.
-   !: Do all 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.
-   q: Quit rclone now, just in case!

--leave-root

During rmdirs it will not remove root directory, even if it's empty.

--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.

If FILE exists then rclone will append to it.

Note that if you are using the logrotate program to manage rclone's
logs, then you should use the copytruncate option as rclone doesn't have
a signal to rotate logs.

--log-format LIST

Comma separated list of log format options. Accepted options are date,
time, microseconds, pid, longfile, shortfile, UTC. Any other keywords
will be silently ignored. pid will tag log messages with process
identifier which useful with rclone mount --daemon. Other accepted
options are explained in the go documentation. The default log format is
"date,time".

--log-level LEVEL

This sets the log level for rclone. The default log level is NOTICE.

DEBUG is equivalent to -vv. It outputs lots of debug info - useful for
bug reports and really finding out what rclone is doing.

INFO is equivalent to -v. It outputs information about each transfer and
prints stats once a minute by default.

NOTICE 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.

ERROR is equivalent to -q. It only outputs error messages.

--use-json-log

This switches the log format to JSON for rclone. The fields of json log
are level, msg, source, time.

--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-backlog=N

This is the maximum allowable backlog of files in a sync/copy/move
queued for being checked or transferred.

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.

Setting this large allows rclone to calculate how many files are pending
more accurately, give a more accurate estimated finish time and make
--order-by work more accurately.

Setting this small will make rclone more synchronous to the listings of
the remote which may be desirable.

Setting this to a negative number will make the backlog as large as
possible.

--max-delete=N

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.

--max-delete-size=SIZE

Rclone will stop deleting files when the total size of deletions has
reached the size specified. It defaults to off.

If that limit is exceeded then a fatal error will be generated and
rclone will stop the operation in progress.

--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.

--max-duration=TIME

Rclone will stop transferring when it has run for the duration
specified. Defaults to off.

When the limit is reached all transfers will stop immediately. Use
--cutoff-mode to modify this behaviour.

Rclone will exit with exit code 10 if the duration limit is reached.

--max-transfer=SIZE

Rclone will stop transferring when it has reached the size specified.
Defaults to off.

When the limit is reached all transfers will stop immediately. Use
--cutoff-mode to modify this behaviour.

Rclone will exit with exit code 8 if the transfer limit is reached.

--cutoff-mode=hard|soft|cautious

This modifies the behavior of --max-transfer and --max-duration Defaults
to --cutoff-mode=hard.

Specifying --cutoff-mode=hard will stop transferring immediately when
Rclone reaches the limit.

Specifying --cutoff-mode=soft will stop starting new transfers when
Rclone reaches the limit.

Specifying --cutoff-mode=cautious will try to prevent Rclone from
reaching the limit. Only applicable for --max-transfer

-M, --metadata

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 #metadata for more info.

--metadata-set key=value

Add metadata key = value when uploading. This can be repeated as many
times as required. See the #metadata for more info.

--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.

--multi-thread-write-buffer-size=SIZE

When transferring with multiple threads, rclone will buffer SIZE bytes
in memory before writing to disk for each thread.

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.

Nevertheless, the default of 128k should be fine for almost all use
cases, so before changing it ensure that network is not really your
bottleneck.

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.

--multi-thread-chunk-size=SizeSuffix

Normally the chunk size for multi thread transfers is set by the
backend. However some backends such as local and smb (which implement
OpenWriterAt but not OpenChunkWriter) don't have a natural chunk size.

In this case the value of this option is used (default 64Mi).

--multi-thread-cutoff=SIZE

When transferring files above SIZE to capable backends, rclone will use
multiple threads to transfer the file (default 256M).

Capable backends are marked in the overview as MultithreadUpload. (They
need to implement either the OpenWriterAt or OpenChunkedWriter internal
interfaces). These include include, local, s3, azureblob, b2,
oracleobjectstorage and smb at the time of writing.

On the local disk, rclone preallocates the file (using
fallocate(FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE) on unix or NTSetInformationFile 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.

The number of threads used to transfer is controlled by
--multi-thread-streams.

Use -vv if you wish to see info about the threads.

This will work with the sync/copy/move commands and friends
copyto/moveto. Multi thread transfers will be used with rclone mount and
rclone serve if --vfs-cache-mode is set to writes or above.

NB that this only works with supported backends as the destination but
will work with any backend as the source.

NB that multi-thread copies are disabled for local to local copies as
they are faster without unless --multi-thread-streams is set explicitly.

NB on Windows using multi-thread transfers to the local disk will cause
the resulting files to be sparse. Use --local-no-sparse to disable
sparse files (which may cause long delays at the start of transfers) or
disable multi-thread transfers with --multi-thread-streams 0

--multi-thread-streams=N

When using multi thread transfers (see above --multi-thread-cutoff) this
sets the number of streams to use. Set to 0 to disable multi thread
transfers (Default 4).

If the backend has a --backend-upload-concurrency setting (eg
--s3-upload-concurrency) then this setting will be used as the number of
transfers instead if it is larger than the value of
--multi-thread-streams or --multi-thread-streams isn't set.

--no-check-dest

The --no-check-dest can be used with move or copy and it causes rclone
not to check the destination at all when copying files.

This means that:

-   the destination is not listed minimising the API calls
-   files are always transferred
-   this can cause duplicates on remotes which allow it (e.g. Google
    Drive)
-   --retries 1 is recommended otherwise you'll transfer everything
    again on a retry

This flag is useful to minimise the transactions if you know that none
of the files are on the destination.

This is a specialized flag which should be ignored by most users!

--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.

--no-traverse

The --no-traverse flag controls whether the destination file system is
traversed when using the copy or move commands. --no-traverse is not
compatible with sync and will be ignored if you supply it with sync.

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 --no-traverse will stop rclone listing the destination and save
time.

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 --no-traverse.

See rclone copy for an example of how to use it.

--no-unicode-normalization

Don't normalize unicode characters in filenames during the sync routine.

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.

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 --no-unicode-normalization they will be
treated as unique characters.

--no-update-modtime

When using this flag, rclone won't update modification times of remote
files if they are incorrect as it would normally.

This can be used if the remote is being synced with another tool also
(e.g. the Google Drive client).

--order-by string

The --order-by flag controls the order in which files in the backlog are
processed in rclone sync, rclone copy and rclone move.

The order by string is constructed like this. The first part describes
what aspect is being measured:

-   size - order by the size of the files
-   name - order by the full path of the files
-   modtime - order by the modification date of the files

This can have a modifier appended with a comma:

-   ascending or asc - order so that the smallest (or oldest) is
    processed first
-   descending or desc - order so that the largest (or newest) is
    processed first
-   mixed - order so that the smallest is processed first for some
    threads and the largest for others

If the modifier is mixed then it can have an optional percentage (which
defaults to 50), e.g. size,mixed,25 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 mixed 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.

If no modifier is supplied then the order is ascending.

For example

-   --order-by size,desc - send the largest files first
-   --order-by modtime,ascending - send the oldest files first
-   --order-by name - send the files with alphabetically by path first

If the --order-by flag is not supplied or it is supplied with an empty
string then the default ordering will be used which is as scanned. With
--checkers 1 this is mostly alphabetical, however with the default
--checkers 8 it is somewhat random.

Limitations

The --order-by flag does not do a separate pass over the data. This
means that it may transfer some files out of the order specified if

-   there are no files in the backlog or the source has not been fully
    scanned yet
-   there are more than --max-backlog files in the backlog

Rclone will do its best to transfer the best file it has so in practice
this should not cause a problem. Think of --order-by as being more of a
best efforts flag rather than a perfect ordering.

If you want perfect ordering then you will need to specify --check-first
which will find all the files which need transferring first before
transferring any.

--password-command SpaceSepList

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 RCLONE_CONFIG_PASS variable.

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 ",
if you want a literal " in an argument then enclose the argument in "
and double the ". See CSV encoding for more info.

Eg

    --password-command echo hello
    --password-command echo "hello with space"
    --password-command echo "hello with ""quotes"" and space"

See the Configuration Encryption for more info.

See a Windows PowerShell example on the Wiki.

-P, --progress

This flag makes rclone update the stats in a static block in the
terminal providing a realtime overview of the transfer.

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.

Normally this is updated every 500mS but this period can be overridden
with the --stats flag.

This can be used with the --stats-one-line flag for a simpler display.

Note: On Windows until this bug is fixed all non-ASCII characters will
be replaced with . when --progress is in use.

--progress-terminal-title

This flag, when used with -P/--progress, will print the string ETA: %s
to the terminal title.

-q, --quiet

This flag will limit rclone's output to error messages only.

--refresh-times

The --refresh-times flag can be used to update modification times of
existing files when they are out of sync on backends which don't support
hashes.

This is useful if you uploaded files with the incorrect timestamps and
you now wish to correct them.

This flag is only useful for destinations which don't support hashes
(e.g. crypt).

This can be used any of the sync commands sync, copy or move.

To use this flag you will need to be doing a modification time sync (so
not using --size-only or --checksum). The flag will have no effect when
using --size-only or --checksum.

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
crypt backend) then rclone will update the timestamp.

Note that some remotes can't set the modification time without
re-uploading the file so this flag is less useful on them.

Normally if you are doing a modification time sync rclone will update
modification times without --refresh-times provided that the remote
supports checksums and 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.

--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 help pick up the files
which didn't get transferred because of errors.

Disable retries with --retries 1.

--retries-sleep=TIME

This sets the interval between each retry specified by --retries

The default is 0. Use 0 to disable.

--server-side-across-configs

Allow server-side operations (e.g. copy or move) to work across
different configurations.

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.

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.

--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

Commands which transfer data (sync, copy, copyto, move, moveto) will
print data transfer stats at regular intervals to show their progress.

This sets the interval.

The default is 1m. Use 0 to disable.

If you set the stats interval then all commands can show stats. This can
be useful when running other commands, check or mount for example.

Stats are logged at INFO level by default which means they won't show at
default log level NOTICE. Use --stats-log-level NOTICE or -v to make
them show. See the Logging section for more info on log levels.

Note that on macOS you can send a SIGINFO (which is normally ctrl-T in
the terminal) to make the stats print immediately.

--stats-file-name-length integer

By default, the --stats output will truncate file names and paths longer
than 40 characters. This is equivalent to providing
--stats-file-name-length 40. Use --stats-file-name-length 0 to disable
any truncation of file names printed by stats.

--stats-log-level string

Log level to show --stats output at. This can be DEBUG, INFO, NOTICE, or
ERROR. The default is INFO. This means at the default level of logging
which is NOTICE the stats won't show - if you want them to then use
--stats-log-level NOTICE. See the Logging section for more info on log
levels.

--stats-one-line

When this is specified, rclone condenses the stats into a single line
showing the most important stats only.

--stats-one-line-date

When this is specified, rclone enables the single-line stats and
prepends the display with a date string. The default is
2006/01/02 15:04:05 -

--stats-one-line-date-format

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 golang specs for date formatting
syntax.

--stats-unit=bits|bytes

By default, data transfer rates will be printed in bytes per second.

This option allows the data rate to be printed in bits per second.

Data transfer volume will still be reported in bytes.

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.

The default is bytes.

--suffix=SUFFIX

When using sync, copy or move 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.

The remote in use must support server-side move or copy and you must use
the same remote as the destination of the sync.

This is for use with files to add the suffix in the current directory or
with --backup-dir. See --backup-dir for more info.

For example

    rclone copy --interactive /path/to/local/file remote:current --suffix .bak

will copy /path/to/local to remote:current, but for any files which
would have been updated or deleted have .bak added.

If using rclone sync with --suffix and without --backup-dir then it is
recommended to put a filter rule in excluding the suffix otherwise the
sync will delete the backup files.

    rclone sync --interactive /path/to/local/file remote:current --suffix .bak --exclude "*.bak"

--suffix-keep-extension

When using --suffix, setting this causes rclone put the SUFFIX before
the extension of the files that it backs up rather than after.

So let's say we had --suffix -2019-01-01, without the flag file.txt
would be backed up to file.txt-2019-01-01 and with the flag it would be
backed up to file-2019-01-01.txt. This can be helpful to make sure the
suffixed files can still be opened.

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 file.tar.gz would be backed up to
file-2019-01-01.tar.gz whereas file.badextension.gz would be backed up
to file.badextension-2019-01-01.gz.

--syslog

On capable OSes (not Windows or Plan9) send all log output to syslog.

This can be useful for running rclone in a script or rclone mount.

--syslog-facility string

If using --syslog this sets the syslog facility (e.g. KERN, USER). See
man syslog for a list of possible facilities. The default facility is
DAEMON.

--temp-dir=DIR

Specify the directory rclone will use for temporary files, to override
the default. Make sure the directory exists and have accessible
permissions.

By default the operating system's temp directory will be used: - On Unix
systems, $TMPDIR if non-empty, else /tmp. - On Windows, the first
non-empty value from %TMP%, %TEMP%, %USERPROFILE%, or the Windows
directory.

When overriding the default with this option, the specified path will be
set as value of environment variable TMPDIR on Unix systems and TMP and
TEMP on Windows.

You can use the config paths command to see the current value.

--tpslimit float

Limit transactions per second to this number. Default is 0 which is used
to mean unlimited transactions per second.

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.

For example, to limit rclone to 10 transactions per second use
--tpslimit 10, or to 1 transaction every 2 seconds use --tpslimit 0.5.

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).

This can be very useful for rclone mount to control the behaviour of
applications using it.

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.

See also --tpslimit-burst.

--tpslimit-burst int

Max burst of transactions for --tpslimit (default 1).

Normally --tpslimit will do exactly the number of transaction per second
specified. However if you supply --tps-burst then rclone can save up
some transactions from when it was idle giving a burst of up to the
parameter supplied.

For example if you provide --tpslimit-burst 10 then if rclone has been
idle for more than 10*--tpslimit then it can do 10 transactions very
quickly before they are limited again.

This may be used to increase performance of --tpslimit without changing
the long term average number of transactions per second.

--track-renames

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.

An rclone sync with --track-renames 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.

After the sync, rclone matches up the source only and destination only
objects using the --track-renames-strategy specified and either renames
the destination object or transfers the source and deletes the
destination object. --track-renames is stateless like all of rclone's
syncs.

To use this flag the destination must support server-side copy or
server-side move, and to use a hash based --track-renames-strategy (the
default) the source and the destination must have a compatible hash.

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.

Encrypted destinations are not currently supported by --track-renames if
--track-renames-strategy includes hash.

Note that --track-renames is incompatible with --no-traverse and that it
uses extra memory to keep track of all the rename candidates.

Note also that --track-renames is incompatible with --delete-before and
will select --delete-after instead of --delete-during.

--track-renames-strategy (hash,modtime,leaf,size)

This option changes the file matching criteria for --track-renames.

The matching is controlled by a comma separated selection of these
tokens:

-   modtime - the modification time of the file - not supported on all
    backends
-   hash - the hash of the file contents - not supported on all backends
-   leaf - the name of the file not including its directory name
-   size - the size of the file (this is always enabled)

The default option is hash.

Using --track-renames-strategy modtime,leaf would match files based on
modification time, the leaf of the file name and the size only.

Using --track-renames-strategy modtime or leaf can enable
--track-renames support for encrypted destinations.

Note that the hash strategy is not supported with encrypted
destinations.

--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. This uses two passes through the file systems,
one for the deletions and one for the copies.

Specifying --delete-during will delete files while checking and
uploading files. This is the fastest option and uses the least memory.

Specifying --delete-after (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
not deleting files as there were IO errors.

--fast-list

When doing anything which involves a directory listing (e.g. sync, copy,
ls - in fact nearly every command), rclone normally lists a directory
and processes it before using more directory lists to process any
subdirectories. This can be parallelised and works very quickly using
the least amount of memory.

However, some remotes have a way of listing all files beneath a
directory in one (or a small number) of transactions. These tend to be
the bucket-based remotes (e.g. S3, B2, GCS, Swift).

If you use the --fast-list flag then rclone will use this method for
listing directories. This will have the following consequences for the
listing:

-   It will use fewer transactions (important if you pay for them)
-   It will use more memory. Rclone has to load the whole listing into
    memory.
-   It may be faster because it uses fewer transactions
-   It may be slower because it can't be parallelized

rclone should always give identical results with and without
--fast-list.

If you pay for transactions and can fit your entire sync listing into
memory then --fast-list is recommended. If you have a very big sync to
do then don't use --fast-list otherwise you will run out of memory.

If you use --fast-list on a remote which doesn't support it, then rclone
will just ignore it.

--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.

Look at --multi-thread-streams if you would like to control single file
transfers.

-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.

This can be useful in avoiding needless transfers when transferring to a
remote which doesn't support modification times directly (or when using
--use-server-modtime to avoid extra API calls) as it is more accurate
than a --size-only check and faster than using --checksum. On such
remotes (or when using --use-server-modtime) the time checked will be
the uploaded time.

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.

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 --checksum flag is provided.

In all other cases the file will not be updated.

Consider using the --modify-window 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.

--use-mmap

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 --buffer-size). Memory allocated
like this does not go on the Go heap and can be returned to the OS
immediately when it is finished with.

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.

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.

--use-server-modtime

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.

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
--update, 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.

Using this flag on a sync operation without also using --update 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.

-v, -vv, --verbose

With -v rclone will tell you about each file that is transferred and a
small number of significant events.

With -vv rclone will become very verbose telling you about every file it
considers and transfers. Please send bug reports with a log with this
setting.

When setting verbosity as an environment variable, use RCLONE_VERBOSE=1
or RCLONE_VERBOSE=2 for -v and -vv respectively.

-V, --version

Prints the version number

SSL/TLS options

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.

--ca-cert stringArray

This loads the PEM encoded certificate authority certificates and uses
it to verify the certificates of the servers rclone connects to.

If you have generated certificates signed with a local CA then you will
need this flag to connect to servers using those certificates.

--client-cert string

This loads the PEM encoded client side certificate.

This is used for mutual TLS authentication.

The --client-key flag is required too when using this.

--client-key string

This loads the PEM encoded client side private key used for mutual TLS
authentication. Used in conjunction with --client-cert.

--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.

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 supply
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 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.

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.

You can set this for a session from a script. For unix like systems save
this to a file called set-rclone-password:

    #!/bin/echo Source this file don't run it

    read -s RCLONE_CONFIG_PASS
    export RCLONE_CONFIG_PASS

Then source the file when you want to use it. From the shell you would
do source set-rclone-password. It will then ask you for the password and
set it in the environment variable.

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
--password-command="..." command line argument or via the
RCLONE_PASSWORD_COMMAND environment variable.

One useful example of this is using the passwordstore application to
retrieve the password:

    export RCLONE_PASSWORD_COMMAND="pass rclone/config"

If the passwordstore password manager holds the password for the rclone
configuration, using the script method means the password is primarily
protected by the passwordstore 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.

If you are running rclone inside a script, unless you are using the
--password-command method, 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, and --password-command has not been
supplied.

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 above, 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. genautocomplete. 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 connection strings: rclone --config="" ls .

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 e.g.
--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 flag,flag,flag

The --dump flag takes a comma separated list of flags to dump info
about.

Note that some headers including Accept-Encoding as shown may not be
correct in the request and the response may not show Content-Encoding 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.

The available flags are:

--dump headers

Dump HTTP headers with Authorization: lines removed. May still contain
sensitive info. Can be very verbose. Useful for debugging only.

Use --dump auth if you do want the Authorization: headers.

--dump bodies

Dump HTTP headers and bodies - may contain sensitive info. Can be very
verbose. Useful for debugging only.

Note that the bodies are buffered in memory so don't use this for
enormous files.

--dump requests

Like --dump bodies but dumps the request bodies and the response
headers. Useful for debugging download problems.

--dump responses

Like --dump bodies but dumps the response bodies and the request
headers. Useful for debugging upload problems.

--dump auth

Dump HTTP headers - will contain sensitive info such as Authorization:
headers - use --dump headers to dump without Authorization: headers. 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 goroutines

This dumps a list of the running go-routines at the end of the command
to standard output.

--dump openfiles

This dumps a list of the open files at the end of the command. It uses
the lsof command to do that so you'll need that installed to use it.

--memprofile=FILE

Write memory profile to file. This can be analysed with go tool pprof.

See the filtering section.

Remote control

For the remote control options and for instructions on how to remote
control rclone

-   --rc
-   and anything starting with --rc-

See the remote control section.

Logging

rclone has 4 levels of logging, ERROR, NOTICE, INFO and DEBUG.

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.
rclone ls).

By default, rclone will produce Error and Notice level messages.

If you use the -q flag, rclone will only produce Error messages.

If you use the -v flag, rclone will produce Error, Notice and Info
messages.

If you use the -vv flag, rclone will produce Error, Notice, Info and
Debug messages.

You can also control the log levels with the --log-level flag.

If you use the --log-file=FILE option, rclone will redirect Error, Info
and Debug messages along with standard error to FILE.

If you use the --syslog flag then rclone will log to syslog and the
--syslog-facility control which facility it uses.

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.

Exit Code

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.

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.

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 -q) 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.

List of exit codes

-   0 - success
-   1 - Syntax or usage error
-   2 - Error not otherwise categorised
-   3 - Directory not found
-   4 - File not found
-   5 - Temporary error (one that more retries might fix) (Retry errors)
-   6 - Less serious errors (like 461 errors from dropbox) (NoRetry
    errors)
-   7 - Fatal error (one that more retries won't fix, like account
    suspended) (Fatal errors)
-   8 - Transfer exceeded - limit set by --max-transfer reached
-   9 - Operation successful, but no files transferred
-   10 - Duration exceeded - limit set by --max-duration reached

Environment Variables

Rclone can be configured entirely using environment variables. These can
be used to set defaults for options or config file entries.

Options

Every option in rclone can have its default set by environment variable.

To find the name of the environment variable, first, take the long
option name, strip the leading --, change - to _, make upper case and
prepend RCLONE_.

For example, to always set --stats 5s, set the environment variable
RCLONE_STATS=5s. If you set stats on the command line this will override
the environment variable setting.

Or to always use the trash in drive --drive-use-trash, set
RCLONE_DRIVE_USE_TRASH=true.

Verbosity is slightly different, the environment variable equivalent of
--verbose or -v is RCLONE_VERBOSE=1, or for -vv, RCLONE_VERBOSE=2.

The same parser is used for the options and the environment variables so
they take exactly the same form.

The options set by environment variables can be seen with the -vv flag,
e.g. rclone version -vv.

Config file

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.

To find the name of the environment variable, you need to set, take
RCLONE_CONFIG_ + name of remote + _ + 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 _ (underscore) character.

For example, to configure an S3 remote named mys3: without a config file
(using unix ways of setting environment variables):

    $ 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:

Note that if you want to create a remote using environment variables you
must create the ..._TYPE variable as above.

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 above. 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:

    $ 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

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.

Note also that now rclone has connection strings, it is probably easier
to use those instead which makes the above example

    rclone lsd :s3,access_key_id=XXX,secret_access_key=XXX:

Precedence

The various different methods of backend configuration are read in this
order and the first one with a value is used.

-   Parameters in connection strings, e.g. myRemote,skip_links:
-   Flag values as supplied on the command line, e.g. --skip-links
-   Remote specific environment vars, e.g.
    RCLONE_CONFIG_MYREMOTE_SKIP_LINKS (see above).
-   Backend-specific environment vars, e.g. RCLONE_LOCAL_SKIP_LINKS.
-   Backend generic environment vars, e.g. RCLONE_SKIP_LINKS.
-   Config file, e.g. skip_links = true.
-   Default values, e.g. false - these can't be changed.

So if both --skip-links is supplied on the command line and an
environment variable RCLONE_LOCAL_SKIP_LINKS is set, the command line
flag will take preference.

The backend configurations set by environment variables can be seen with
the -vv flag, e.g. rclone about myRemote: -vv.

For non backend configuration the order is as follows:

-   Flag values as supplied on the command line, e.g. --stats 5s.
-   Environment vars, e.g. RCLONE_STATS=5s.
-   Default values, e.g. 1m - these can't be changed.

Other environment variables

-   RCLONE_CONFIG_PASS set to contain your config file password (see
    Configuration Encryption section)
-   HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY and NO_PROXY (or the lowercase versions
    thereof).
    -   HTTPS_PROXY takes precedence over HTTP_PROXY for https requests.
    -   The environment values may be either a complete URL or a
        "host[:port]" for, in which case the "http" scheme is assumed.
-   USER and LOGNAME 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 $USER.
-   RCLONE_CONFIG_DIR - rclone sets this variable for use in config
    files and sub processes to point to the directory holding the config
    file.

The options set by environment variables can be seen with the -vv and
--log-level=DEBUG flags, e.g. rclone version -vv.

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 (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.

Configuring using rclone authorize

On the headless box run rclone config but answer N to the
Use web browser  to automatically authenticate? question.

    ...
    Remote config
    Use web browser to automatically authenticate rclone with remote?
     * Say Y if the machine running rclone has a web browser you can use
     * Say N if running rclone on a (remote) machine without web browser access
    If not sure try Y. If Y failed, try N.
    y) Yes (default)
    n) No
    y/n> n
    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 "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 with

    rclone config

to set up the config file.

Find the config file by running rclone config file, for example

    $ rclone config file
    Configuration file is stored at:
    /home/user/.rclone.conf

Now transfer it to the remote box (scp, cut paste, ftp, sftp, etc.) and
place it in the correct place (use rclone config file on the remote box
to find out where).

Configuring using SSH Tunnel

Linux and MacOS users can utilize SSH Tunnel to redirect the headless
box port 53682 to local machine by using the following command:

    ssh -L localhost:53682:localhost:53682 username@remote_server

Then on the headless box run rclone config and answer Y to the
Use web  browser to automatically authenticate? question.

    ...
    Remote config
    Use web browser to automatically authenticate rclone with remote?
     * Say Y if the machine running rclone has a web browser you can use
     * Say N if running rclone on a (remote) machine without web browser access
    If not sure try Y. If Y failed, try N.
    y) Yes (default)
    n) No
    y/n> y

Then copy and paste the auth url
http://127.0.0.1:53682/auth?state=xxxxxxxxxxxx to the browser on your
local machine, complete the auth and it is done.

Filtering, includes and excludes

Filter flags determine which files rclone sync, move, ls, lsl, md5sum,
sha1sum, size, delete, check and similar commands apply to.

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.

Rclone purge does not obey filters.

To test filters without risk of damage to data, apply them to rclone ls,
or with the --dry-run and -vv flags.

Rclone filter patterns can only be used in filter command line options,
not in the specification of a remote.

E.g. rclone copy "remote:dir*.jpg" /path/to/dir does not have a filter
effect. rclone copy remote:dir /path/to/dir --include "*.jpg" does.

Important Avoid mixing any two of --include..., --exclude... or
--filter... flags in an rclone command. The results might not be what
you expect. Instead use a --filter... flag.

Patterns for matching path/file names

Pattern syntax

Here is a formal definition of the pattern syntax, examples are below.

Rclone matching rules follow a glob style:

    *         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

character-range:

    c         matches character c (c != \, -, ])
    \c        matches reserved character c (c = \, -, ])
    lo - hi   matches character c for lo <= c <= hi

pattern-list:

    pattern { , pattern }
              comma-separated (without spaces) patterns

character classes (see Go regular expression reference) include:

    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:]])

regexp for advanced users to insert a regular expression - see below for
more info:

    Any re2 regular expression not containing `}}`

If the filter pattern starts with a / then it only matches at the top
level of the directory tree, relative to the root of the remote (not
necessarily the root of the drive). If it does not start with / then it
is matched starting at the end of the path/file name but it only matches
a complete path element - it must match from a / separator or the
beginning of the path/file.

    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"

The top level of the remote might not be the top level of the drive.

E.g. for a Microsoft Windows local directory structure

    F:
    ├── bkp
    ├── data
    │   ├── excl
    │   │   ├── 123.jpg
    │   │   └── 456.jpg
    │   ├── incl
    │   │   └── document.pdf

To copy the contents of folder data into folder bkp excluding the
contents of subfolder exclthe following command treats F:\data and
F:\bkp as top level for filtering.

rclone copy F:\data\ F:\bkp\ --exclude=/excl/**

Important Use / in path/file name patterns and not \ even if running on
Microsoft Windows.

Simple patterns are case sensitive unless the --ignore-case flag is
used.

Without --ignore-case (default)

    potato - matches "potato"
           - doesn't match "POTATO"

With --ignore-case

    potato - matches "potato"
           - matches "POTATO"

Using regular expressions in filter patterns

The syntax of filter patterns is glob style matching (like bash 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.

The regular expressions used are as defined in the Go regular expression
reference. Regular expressions should be enclosed in {{ }}. They will
match only the last path segment if the glob doesn't start with / 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 directory filter rules,
as it will instead check every path against the supplied regular
expression(s).

Here is how the {{regexp}} is transformed into an full regular
expression to match the entire path:

    {{regexp}}  becomes (^|/)(regexp)$
    /{{regexp}} becomes ^(regexp)$

Regexp syntax can be mixed with glob syntax, for example

    *.{{jpe?g}} to match file.jpg, file.jpeg but not file.png

You can also use regexp flags - to set case insensitive, for example

    *.{{(?i)jpg}} to match file.jpg, file.JPG but not file.png

Be careful with wildcards in regular expressions - you don't want them
to match path separators normally. To match any file name starting with
start and ending with end write

    {{start[^/]*end\.jpg}}

Not

    {{start.*end\.jpg}}

Which will match a directory called start with a file called end.jpg in
it as the .* will match / characters.

Note that you can use -vv --dump filters to show the filter patterns in
regexp format - rclone implements the glob patterns by transforming them
into regular expressions.

How filter rules are applied to files

Rclone path/file name filters are made up of one or more of the
following flags:

-   --include
-   --include-from
-   --exclude
-   --exclude-from
-   --filter
-   --filter-from

There can be more than one instance of individual flags.

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.

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.

Multiple instances of the same flag are processed from left to right
according to their position in the command line.

To mix up the order of processing includes and excludes use --filter...
flags.

Within --include-from, --exclude-from and --filter-from flags rules are
processed from top to bottom of the referenced file.

If there is an --include or --include-from flag specified, rclone
implies a - ** rule which it adds to the bottom of the internal rule
list. Specifying a + rule with a --filter... flag does not imply that
rule.

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.

If rclone does not find a match, after testing against all rules
(including the implied rule if appropriate), the path/file name is
included.

Any path/file included at that stage is processed by the rclone command.

--files-from and --files-from-raw flags over-ride and cannot be combined
with other filter options.

To see the internal combined rule list, in regular expression form, for
a command add the --dump filters flag. Running an rclone command with
--dump filters and -vv 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. Go regular expression reference

How filter rules are applied to directories

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
directory/* or recursively by directory/**.

Directory filter rules are defined with a closing / separator.

E.g. /directory/subdirectory/ is an rclone directory filter rule.

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.

If any regular expression filters are in use, then no directory
recursion optimisation is possible, as rclone must check every path
against the supplied regular expression(s).

Directory recursion optimisation occurs if either:

-   A source remote does not support the rclone ListR primitive. local,
    sftp, Microsoft OneDrive and WebDAV do not support ListR. Google
    Drive and most bucket type storage do. Full list

-   On other remotes (those that support ListR), if the rclone command
    is not naturally recursive, and provided it is not run with the
    --fast-list flag. ls, lsf -R and size are naturally recursive but
    sync, copy and move are not.

-   Whenever the --disable ListR flag is applied to an rclone command.

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 --dump filters flag.

E.g. for an include rule

    /a/*.jpg

Rclone implies the directory include rule

    /a/

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.

E.g. rclone ls remote: --include /directory/ will not match any files.
Because it is an --include option the --exclude ** rule is implied, and
the /directory/ pattern serves only to optimise access to the remote by
ignoring everything outside of that directory.

E.g. rclone ls remote: --filter-from filter-list.txt with a file
filter-list.txt:

    - /dir1/
    - /dir2/
    + *.pdf
    - **

All files in directories dir1 or dir2 or their subdirectories are
completely excluded from the listing. Only files of suffix pdf in the
root of remote: or its subdirectories are listed. The - ** rule prevents
listing of any path/files not previously matched by the rules above.

Option exclude-if-present creates a directory exclude rule based on the
presence of a file in a directory and takes precedence over other rclone
directory filter rules.

When using pattern list syntax, if a pattern item contains either / or
**, then rclone will not able to imply a directory filter rule from this
pattern list.

E.g. for an include rule

    {dir1/**,dir2/**}

Rclone will match files below directories dir1 or dir2 only, but will
not be able to use this filter to exclude a directory dir3 from being
traversed.

Directory recursion optimisation may affect performance, but normally
not the result. One exception to this is sync operations with option
--create-empty-src-dirs, where any traversed empty directories will be
created. With the pattern list example {dir1/**,dir2/**} above, this
would create an empty directory dir3 on destination (when it exists on
source). Changing the filter to {dir1,dir2}/**, or splitting it into two
include rules --include dir1/** --include dir2/**, will match the same
files while also filtering directories, with the result that an empty
directory dir3 will no longer be created.

--exclude - Exclude files matching pattern

Excludes path/file names from an rclone command based on a single
exclude rule.

This flag can be repeated. See above for the order filter flags are
processed in.

--exclude should not be used with --include, --include-from, --filter or
--filter-from flags.

--exclude has no effect when combined with --files-from or
--files-from-raw flags.

E.g. rclone ls remote: --exclude *.bak excludes all .bak files from
listing.

E.g. rclone size remote: "--exclude /dir/**" returns the total size of
all files on remote: excluding those in root directory dir and sub
directories.

E.g. on Microsoft Windows rclone ls remote: --exclude "*\[{JP,KR,HK}\]*"
lists the files in remote: without [JP] or [KR] or [HK] in their name.
Quotes prevent the shell from interpreting the \ characters.\ characters
escape the [ and ] so an rclone filter treats them literally rather than
as a character-range. The { and } define an rclone pattern list. For
other operating systems single quotes are required ie
rclone ls remote: --exclude '*\[{JP,KR,HK}\]*'

--exclude-from - Read exclude patterns from file

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.

For an example exclude-file.txt:

    # a sample exclude rule file
    *.bak
    file2.jpg

rclone ls remote: --exclude-from exclude-file.txt lists the files on
remote: except those named file2.jpg or with a suffix .bak. That is
equivalent to rclone ls remote: --exclude file2.jpg --exclude "*.bak".

This flag can be repeated. See above for the order filter flags are
processed in.

The --exclude-from flag is useful where multiple exclude filter rules
are applied to an rclone command.

--exclude-from should not be used with --include, --include-from,
--filter or --filter-from flags.

--exclude-from has no effect when combined with --files-from or
--files-from-raw flags.

--exclude-from followed by - reads filter rules from standard input.

--include - Include files matching pattern

Adds a single include rule based on path/file names to an rclone
command.

This flag can be repeated. See above for the order filter flags are
processed in.

--include has no effect when combined with --files-from or
--files-from-raw flags.

--include implies --exclude ** at the end of an rclone internal filter
list. Therefore if you mix --include and --include-from flags with
--exclude, --exclude-from, --filter or --filter-from, you must use
include rules for all the files you want in the include statement. For
more flexibility use the --filter-from flag.

E.g. rclone ls remote: --include "*.{png,jpg}" lists the files on
remote: with suffix .png and .jpg. All other files are excluded.

E.g. multiple rclone copy commands can be combined with --include and a
pattern-list.

    rclone copy /vol1/A remote:A
    rclone copy /vol1/B remote:B

is equivalent to:

    rclone copy /vol1 remote: --include "{A,B}/**"

E.g. rclone ls remote:/wheat --include "??[^[:punct:]]*" lists the files
remote: directory wheat (and subdirectories) whose third character is
not punctuation. This example uses an ASCII character class.

--include-from - Read include patterns from file

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.

For an example include-file.txt:

    # a sample include rule file
    *.jpg
    file2.avi

rclone ls remote: --include-from include-file.txt lists the files on
remote: with name file2.avi or suffix .jpg. That is equivalent to
rclone ls remote: --include file2.avi --include "*.jpg".

This flag can be repeated. See above for the order filter flags are
processed in.

The --include-from flag is useful where multiple include filter rules
are applied to an rclone command.

--include-from implies --exclude ** at the end of an rclone internal
filter list. Therefore if you mix --include and --include-from flags
with --exclude, --exclude-from, --filter or --filter-from, you must use
include rules for all the files you want in the include statement. For
more flexibility use the --filter-from flag.

--exclude-from has no effect when combined with --files-from or
--files-from-raw flags.

--exclude-from followed by - reads filter rules from standard input.

--filter - Add a file-filtering rule

Specifies path/file names to an rclone command, based on a single
include or exclude rule, in + or - format.

This flag can be repeated. See above for the order filter flags are
processed in.

--filter + differs from --include. In the case of --include rclone
implies an --exclude * rule which it adds to the bottom of the internal
rule list. --filter...+ does not imply that rule.

--filter has no effect when combined with --files-from or
--files-from-raw flags.

--filter should not be used with --include, --include-from, --exclude or
--exclude-from flags.

E.g. rclone ls remote: --filter "- *.bak" excludes all .bak files from a
list of remote:.

--filter-from - Read filtering patterns from a file

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 + and exclude rules with -. ! clears existing rules.
Rules are processed in the order they are defined.

This flag can be repeated. See above for the order filter flags are
processed in.

Arrange the order of filter rules with the most restrictive first and
work down.

E.g. for filter-file.txt:

    # a sample filter rule file
    - secret*.jpg
    + *.jpg
    + *.png
    + file2.avi
    - /dir/Trash/**
    + /dir/**
    # exclude everything else
    - *

rclone ls remote: --filter-from filter-file.txt lists the path/files on
remote: including all jpg and png files, excluding any matching
secret*.jpg and including file2.avi. It also includes everything in the
directory dir at the root of remote, except remote:dir/Trash which it
excludes. Everything else is excluded.

E.g. for an alternative filter-file.txt:

    - secret*.jpg
    + *.jpg
    + *.png
    + file2.avi
    - *

Files file1.jpg, file3.png and file2.avi are listed whilst secret17.jpg
and files without the suffix .jpgor.png` are excluded.

E.g. for an alternative filter-file.txt:

    + *.jpg
    + *.gif
    !
    + 42.doc
    - *

Only file 42.doc is listed. Prior rules are cleared by the !.

--files-from - Read list of source-file names

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.

Other filter flags (--include, --include-from, --exclude,
--exclude-from, --filter and --filter-from) are ignored when
--files-from is used.

--files-from expects a list of files as its input. Leading or trailing
whitespace is stripped from the input lines. Lines starting with # or ;
are ignored.

Rclone commands with a --files-from flag traverse the remote, treating
the names in --files-from as a set of filters.

If the --no-traverse and --files-from 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
--files-from list and a remote containing many files.

Rclone commands do not error if any names in the --files-from file are
missing from the source remote.

The --files-from 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.

Paths within the --files-from file are interpreted as starting with the
root specified in the rclone command. Leading / separators are ignored.
See --files-from-raw if you need the input to be processed in a raw
manner.

E.g. for a file files-from.txt:

    # comment
    file1.jpg
    subdir/file2.jpg

rclone copy --files-from files-from.txt /home/me/pics remote:pics copies
the following, if they exist, and only those files.

    /home/me/pics/file1.jpg        → remote:pics/file1.jpg
    /home/me/pics/subdir/file2.jpg → remote:pics/subdir/file2.jpg

E.g. to copy the following files referenced by their absolute paths:

    /home/user1/42
    /home/user1/dir/ford
    /home/user2/prefect

First find a common subdirectory - in this case /home and put the
remaining files in files-from.txt with or without leading /, e.g.

    user1/42
    user1/dir/ford
    user2/prefect

Then copy these to a remote:

    rclone copy --files-from files-from.txt /home remote:backup

The three files are transferred as follows:

    /home/user1/42       → remote:backup/user1/important
    /home/user1/dir/ford → remote:backup/user1/dir/file
    /home/user2/prefect  → remote:backup/user2/stuff

Alternatively if / is chosen as root files-from.txt will be:

    /home/user1/42
    /home/user1/dir/ford
    /home/user2/prefect

The copy command will be:

    rclone copy --files-from files-from.txt / remote:backup

Then there will be an extra home directory on the remote:

    /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

--files-from-raw - Read list of source-file names without any processing

This flag is the same as --files-from except that input is read in a raw
manner. Lines with leading / trailing whitespace, and lines starting
with ; or # are read without any processing. rclone lsf has a compatible
format that can be used to export file lists from remotes for input to
--files-from-raw.

--ignore-case - make searches case insensitive

By default, rclone filter patterns are case sensitive. The --ignore-case
flag makes all of the filters patterns on the command line case
insensitive.

E.g. --include "zaphod.txt" does not match a file Zaphod.txt. With
--ignore-case a match is made.

Quoting shell metacharacters

Rclone commands with filter patterns containing shell metacharacters may
not as work as expected in your shell and may require quoting.

E.g. linux, OSX (* metacharacter)

-   --include \*.jpg
-   --include '*.jpg'
-   --include='*.jpg'

Microsoft Windows expansion is done by the command, not shell, so
--include *.jpg does not require quoting.

If the rclone error
Command .... needs .... arguments maximum: you provided .... non flag arguments:
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.

Other filters

--min-size - Don't transfer any file smaller than this

Controls the minimum size file within the scope of an rclone command.
Default units are KiB but abbreviations K, M, G, T or P are valid.

E.g. rclone ls remote: --min-size 50k lists files on remote: of 50 KiB
size or larger.

See the size option docs for more info.

--max-size - Don't transfer any file larger than this

Controls the maximum size file within the scope of an rclone command.
Default units are KiB but abbreviations K, M, G, T or P are valid.

E.g. rclone ls remote: --max-size 1G lists files on remote: of 1 GiB
size or smaller.

See the size option docs for more info.

--max-age - Don't transfer any file older than this

Controls the maximum age of files within the scope of an rclone command.

--max-age applies only to files and not to directories.

E.g. rclone ls remote: --max-age 2d lists files on remote: of 2 days old
or less.

See the time option docs for valid formats.

--min-age - Don't transfer any file younger than this

Controls the minimum age of files within the scope of an rclone command.
(see --max-age for valid formats)

--min-age applies only to files and not to directories.

E.g. rclone ls remote: --min-age 2d lists files on remote: of 2 days old
or more.

See the time option docs for valid formats.

Other flags

--delete-excluded - Delete files on dest excluded from sync

Important this flag is dangerous to your data - use with --dry-run and
-v first.

In conjunction with rclone sync, --delete-excluded deletes any files on
the destination which are excluded from the command.

E.g. the scope of rclone sync --interactive A: B: can be restricted:

    rclone --min-size 50k --delete-excluded sync A: B:

All files on B: which are less than 50 KiB are deleted because they are
excluded from the rclone sync command.

--dump filters - dump the filters to the output

Dumps the defined filters to standard output in regular expression
format.

Useful for debugging.

Exclude directory based on a file

The --exclude-if-present 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.

This flag has a priority over other filter flags.

E.g. for the following directory structure:

    dir1/file1
    dir1/dir2/file2
    dir1/dir2/dir3/file3
    dir1/dir2/dir3/.ignore

The command rclone ls --exclude-if-present .ignore dir1 does not list
dir3, file3 or .ignore.

Metadata filters

The metadata filters work in a very similar way to the normal file name
filters, except they match metadata on the object.

The metadata should be specified as key=value patterns. This may be
wildcarded using the normal filter patterns or regular expressions.

For example if you wished to list only local files with a mode of 100664
you could do that with:

    rclone lsf -M --files-only --metadata-include "mode=100664" .

Or if you wished to show files with an atime, mtime or btime at a given
date:

    rclone lsf -M --files-only --metadata-include "[abm]time=2022-12-16*" .

Like file filtering, metadata filtering only applies to files not to
directories.

The filters can be applied using these flags.

-   --metadata-include - Include metadatas matching pattern
-   --metadata-include-from - Read metadata include patterns from file
    (use - to read from stdin)
-   --metadata-exclude - Exclude metadatas matching pattern
-   --metadata-exclude-from - Read metadata exclude patterns from file
    (use - to read from stdin)
-   --metadata-filter - Add a metadata filtering rule
-   --metadata-filter-from - Read metadata filtering patterns from a
    file (use - to read from stdin)

Each flag can be repeated. See the section on how filter rules are
applied 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.

Common pitfalls

The most frequent filter support issues on the rclone forum are:

-   Not using paths relative to the root of the remote
-   Not using / to match from the root of a remote
-   Not using ** to match the contents of a directory

GUI (Experimental)

Rclone can serve a web based GUI (graphical user interface). This is
somewhat experimental at the moment so things may be subject to change.

Run this command in a terminal and rclone will download and then display
the GUI in a web browser.

    rclone rcd --rc-web-gui

This will produce logs like this and rclone needs to continue to run to
serve the GUI:

    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: Unzipping
    2019/08/25 11:40:16 NOTICE: Serving remote control on http://127.0.0.1:5572/

This assumes you are running rclone locally on your machine. It is
possible to separate the rclone and the GUI - see below for details.

If you wish to check for updates then you can add --rc-web-gui-update to
the command line.

If you find your GUI broken, you may force it to update by add
--rc-web-gui-force-update.

By default, rclone will open your browser. Add
--rc-web-gui-no-open-browser to disable this feature.

Using the GUI

Once the GUI opens, you will be looking at the dashboard which has an
overall overview.

On the left hand side you will see a series of view buttons you can
click on:

-   Dashboard - main overview
-   Configs - examine and create new configurations
-   Explorer - view, download and upload files to the cloud storage
    systems
-   Backend - view or alter the backend config
-   Log out

(More docs and walkthrough video to come!)

How it works

When you run the rclone rcd --rc-web-gui this is what happens

-   Rclone starts but only runs the remote control API ("rc").
-   The API is bound to localhost with an auto-generated username and
    password.
-   If the API bundle is missing then rclone will download it.
-   rclone will start serving the files from the API bundle over the
    same port as the API
-   rclone will open the browser with a login_token so it can log
    straight in.

Advanced use

The rclone rcd may use any of the flags documented on the rc page.

The flag --rc-web-gui is shorthand for

-   Download the web GUI if necessary
-   Check we are using some authentication
-   --rc-user gui
-   --rc-pass <random password>
-   --rc-serve

These flags can be overridden as desired.

See also the rclone rcd documentation.

Example: Running a public GUI

For example the GUI could be served on a public port over SSL using an
htpasswd file using the following flags:

-   --rc-web-gui
-   --rc-addr :443
-   --rc-htpasswd /path/to/htpasswd
-   --rc-cert /path/to/ssl.crt
-   --rc-key /path/to/ssl.key

Example: Running a GUI behind a proxy

If you want to run the GUI behind a proxy at /rclone you could use these
flags:

-   --rc-web-gui
-   --rc-baseurl rclone
-   --rc-htpasswd /path/to/htpasswd

Or instead of htpasswd if you just want a single user and password:

-   --rc-user me
-   --rc-pass mypassword

Project

The GUI is being developed in the: rclone/rclone-webui-react repository.

Bug reports and contributions are very welcome :-)

If you have questions then please ask them on the rclone forum.

Remote controlling rclone with its API

If rclone is run with the --rc flag then it starts an HTTP server which
can be used to remote control rclone using its API.

You can either use the rc command to access the API or use HTTP
directly.

If you just want to run a remote control then see the rcd command.

Supported parameters

--rc

Flag to start the http server listen on remote requests

--rc-addr=IP

IPaddress:Port or :Port to bind server to. (default "localhost:5572")

--rc-cert=KEY

SSL PEM key (concatenation of certificate and CA certificate)

--rc-client-ca=PATH

Client certificate authority to verify clients with

--rc-htpasswd=PATH

htpasswd file - if not provided no authentication is done

--rc-key=PATH

SSL PEM Private key

--rc-max-header-bytes=VALUE

Maximum size of request header (default 4096)

--rc-min-tls-version=VALUE

The minimum TLS version that is acceptable. Valid values are "tls1.0",
"tls1.1", "tls1.2" and "tls1.3" (default "tls1.0").

--rc-user=VALUE

User name for authentication.

--rc-pass=VALUE

Password for authentication.

--rc-realm=VALUE

Realm for authentication (default "rclone")

--rc-server-read-timeout=DURATION

Timeout for server reading data (default 1h0m0s)

--rc-server-write-timeout=DURATION

Timeout for server writing data (default 1h0m0s)

--rc-serve

Enable the serving of remote objects via the HTTP interface. This means
objects will be accessible at http://127.0.0.1:5572/ by default, so you
can browse to http://127.0.0.1:5572/ or http://127.0.0.1:5572/* to see a
listing of the remotes. Objects may be requested from remotes using this
syntax http://127.0.0.1:5572/[remote:path]/path/to/object

Default Off.

--rc-files /path/to/directory

Path to local files to serve on the HTTP server.

If this is set then rclone will serve the files in that directory. It
will also open the root in the web browser if specified. This is for
implementing browser based GUIs for rclone functions.

If --rc-user or --rc-pass is set then the URL that is opened will have
the authorization in the URL in the http://user:pass@localhost/ style.

Default Off.

--rc-enable-metrics

Enable OpenMetrics/Prometheus compatible endpoint at /metrics.

Default Off.

--rc-web-gui

Set this flag to serve the default web gui on the same port as rclone.

Default Off.

--rc-allow-origin

Set the allowed Access-Control-Allow-Origin for rc requests.

Can be used with --rc-web-gui if the rclone is running on different IP
than the web-gui.

Default is IP address on which rc is running.

--rc-web-fetch-url

Set the URL to fetch the rclone-web-gui files from.

Default
https://api.github.com/repos/rclone/rclone-webui-react/releases/latest.

--rc-web-gui-update

Set this flag to check and update rclone-webui-react from the
rc-web-fetch-url.

Default Off.

--rc-web-gui-force-update

Set this flag to force update rclone-webui-react from the
rc-web-fetch-url.

Default Off.

--rc-web-gui-no-open-browser

Set this flag to disable opening browser automatically when using
web-gui.

Default Off.

--rc-job-expire-duration=DURATION

Expire finished async jobs older than DURATION (default 60s).

--rc-job-expire-interval=DURATION

Interval duration to check for expired async jobs (default 10s).

--rc-no-auth

By default rclone will require authorisation to have been set up on the
rc interface in order to use any methods which access any rclone
remotes. Eg operations/list is denied as it involved creating a remote
as is sync/copy.

If this is set then no authorisation will be required on the server to
use these methods. The alternative is to use --rc-user and --rc-pass and
use these credentials in the request.

Default Off.

--rc-baseurl

Prefix for URLs.

Default is root

--rc-template

User-specified template.

Accessing the remote control via the rclone rc command

Rclone itself implements the remote control protocol in its rclone rc
command.

You can use it like this

    $ rclone rc rc/noop param1=one param2=two
    {
        "param1": "one",
        "param2": "two"
    }

Run rclone rc on its own to see the help for the installed remote
control commands.

JSON input

rclone rc also supports a --json flag which can be used to send more
complicated input parameters.

    $ rclone rc --json '{ "p1": [1,"2",null,4], "p2": { "a":1, "b":2 } }' rc/noop
    {
        "p1": [
            1,
            "2",
            null,
            4
        ],
        "p2": {
            "a": 1,
            "b": 2
        }
    }

If the parameter being passed is an object then it can be passed as a
JSON string rather than using the --json flag which simplifies the
command line.

    rclone rc operations/list fs=/tmp remote=test opt='{"showHash": true}'

Rather than

    rclone rc operations/list --json '{"fs": "/tmp", "remote": "test", "opt": {"showHash": true}}'

Special parameters

The rc interface supports some special parameters which apply to all
commands. These start with _ to show they are different.

Running asynchronous jobs with _async = true

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.

If _async 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 job/status 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.

It is recommended that potentially long running jobs, e.g. sync/sync,
sync/copy, sync/move, operations/purge are run with the _async flag to
avoid any potential problems with the HTTP request and response timing
out.

Starting a job with the _async flag:

    $ rclone rc --json '{ "p1": [1,"2",null,4], "p2": { "a":1, "b":2 }, "_async": true }' rc/noop
    {
        "jobid": 2
    }

Query the status to see if the job has finished. For more information on
the meaning of these return parameters see the job/status call.

    $ rclone rc --json '{ "jobid":2 }' job/status
    {
        "duration": 0.000124163,
        "endTime": "2018-10-27T11:38:07.911245881+01:00",
        "error": "",
        "finished": true,
        "id": 2,
        "output": {
            "_async": true,
            "p1": [
                1,
                "2",
                null,
                4
            ],
            "p2": {
                "a": 1,
                "b": 2
            }
        },
        "startTime": "2018-10-27T11:38:07.911121728+01:00",
        "success": true
    }

job/list can be used to show the running or recently completed jobs

    $ rclone rc job/list
    {
        "jobids": [
            2
        ]
    }

Setting config flags with _config

If you wish to set config (the equivalent of the global flags) for the
duration of an rc call only then pass in the _config parameter.

This should be in the same format as the config key returned by
options/get.

For example, if you wished to run a sync with the --checksum parameter,
you would pass this parameter in your JSON blob.

    "_config":{"CheckSum": true}

If using rclone rc this could be passed as

    rclone rc sync/sync ... _config='{"CheckSum": true}'

Any config parameters you don't set will inherit the global defaults
which were set with command line flags or environment variables.

Note that it is possible to set some values as strings or integers - see
data types for more info. Here is an example setting the equivalent of
--buffer-size in string or integer format.

    "_config":{"BufferSize": "42M"}
    "_config":{"BufferSize": 44040192}

If you wish to check the _config assignment has worked properly then
calling options/local will show what the value got set to.

Setting filter flags with _filter

If you wish to set filters for the duration of an rc call only then pass
in the _filter parameter.

This should be in the same format as the filter key returned by
options/get.

For example, if you wished to run a sync with these flags

    --max-size 1M --max-age 42s --include "a" --include "b"

you would pass this parameter in your JSON blob.

    "_filter":{"MaxSize":"1M", "IncludeRule":["a","b"], "MaxAge":"42s"}

If using rclone rc this could be passed as

    rclone rc ... _filter='{"MaxSize":"1M", "IncludeRule":["a","b"], "MaxAge":"42s"}'

Any filter parameters you don't set will inherit the global defaults
which were set with command line flags or environment variables.

Note that it is possible to set some values as strings or integers - see
data types for more info. Here is an example setting the equivalent of
--buffer-size in string or integer format.

    "_filter":{"MinSize": "42M"}
    "_filter":{"MinSize": 44040192}

If you wish to check the _filter assignment has worked properly then
calling options/local will show what the value got set to.

Assigning operations to groups with _group = value

Each rc call has its own stats group for tracking its metrics. By
default grouping is done by the composite group name from prefix job/
and id of the job like so job/1.

If _group has a value then stats for that request will be grouped under
that value. This allows caller to group stats under their own name.

Stats for specific group can be accessed by passing group to core/stats:

    $ rclone rc --json '{ "group": "job/1" }' core/stats
    {
        "speed": 12345
        ...
    }

Data types

When the API returns types, these will mostly be straight forward
integer, string or boolean types.

However some of the types returned by the options/get call and taken by
the options/set calls as well as the vfsOpt, mountOpt and the _config
parameters.

-   Duration - these are returned as an integer duration in nanoseconds.
    They may be set as an integer, or they may be set with time string,
    eg "5s". See the options section for more info.
-   Size - these are returned as an integer number of bytes. They may be
    set as an integer or they may be set with a size suffix string, eg
    "10M". See the options section for more info.
-   Enumerated type (such as CutoffMode, DumpFlags, LogLevel,
    VfsCacheMode - these will be returned as an integer and may be set
    as an integer but more conveniently they can be set as a string, eg
    "HARD" for CutoffMode or DEBUG for LogLevel.
-   BandwidthSpec - this will be set and returned as a string, eg "1M".

Specifying remotes to work on

Remotes are specified with the fs=, srcFs=, dstFs= parameters depending
on the command being used.

The parameters can be a string as per the rest of rclone, eg
s3:bucket/path or :sftp:/my/dir. They can also be specified as JSON
blobs.

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:

-   type - set to type to specify a remote called :type:
-   _name - set to name to specify a remote called name:
-   _root - sets the root of the remote - may be empty

One of _name or type should normally be set. If the local backend is
desired then type should be set to local. If _root isn't specified then
it defaults to the root of the remote.

For example this JSON is equivalent to remote:/tmp

    {
        "_name": "remote",
        "_path": "/tmp"
    }

And this is equivalent to :sftp,host='example.com':/tmp

    {
        "type": "sftp",
        "host": "example.com",
        "_path": "/tmp"
    }

And this is equivalent to /tmp/dir

    {
        type = "local",
        _ path = "/tmp/dir"
    }

Supported commands

backend/command: Runs a backend command.

This takes the following parameters:

-   command - a string with the command name
-   fs - a remote name string e.g. "drive:"
-   arg - a list of arguments for the backend command
-   opt - a map of string to string of options

Returns:

-   result - result from the backend command

Example:

    rclone rc backend/command command=noop fs=. -o echo=yes -o blue -a path1 -a path2

Returns

    {
        "result": {
            "arg": [
                "path1",
                "path2"
            ],
            "name": "noop",
            "opt": {
                "blue": "",
                "echo": "yes"
            }
        }
    }

Note that this is the direct equivalent of using this "backend" command:

    rclone backend noop . -o echo=yes -o blue path1 path2

Note that arguments must be preceded by the "-a" flag

See the backend command for more information.

Authentication is required for this call.

cache/expire: Purge a remote from cache

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)

Eg

    rclone rc cache/expire remote=path/to/sub/folder/
    rclone rc cache/expire remote=/ withData=true

cache/fetch: Fetch file chunks

Ensure the specified file chunks are cached on disk.

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]

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.

Some valid examples are: ":5,-5:" -> the first and last five chunks
"0,-2" -> the first and the second last chunk "0:10" -> the first ten
chunks

Any parameter with a key that starts with "file" can be used to specify
files to fetch, e.g.

    rclone rc cache/fetch chunks=0 file=hello file2=home/goodbye

File names will automatically be encrypted when the a crypt remote is
used on top of the cache.

cache/stats: Get cache stats

    -   obscure - declare passwords are plain and need obscuring
    -   noObscure - declare passwords are already obscured and don't
        need obscuring
    -   nonInteractive - don't interact with a user, return questions
    -   continue - continue the config process with an answer
    -   all - ask all the config questions not just the post config ones
    -   state - state to restart with - used with continue
    -   result - result to restart with - used with continue

-   parameters - a map of { "key": "value" } pairs
-   opt - a dictionary of options to control the configuration
    -   obscure - declare passwords are plain and need obscuring
    -   noObscure - declare passwords are already obscured and don't
        need obscuring
    -   nonInteractive - don't interact with a user, return questions
    -   continue - continue the config process with an answer
    -   all - ask all the config questions not just the post config ones
    -   state - state to restart with - used with continue
    -   result - result to restart with - used with continue

See the config update command for more information on the above.

Authentication is required for this call.

core/bwlimit: Set the bandwidth limit.

This sets the bandwidth limit to the string passed in. This should be a
single bandwidth limit entry or a pair of upload:download bandwidth.

Eg

    rclone rc core/bwlimit rate=off
    {
        "bytesPerSecond": -1,
        "bytesPerSecondTx": -1,
        "bytesPerSecondRx": -1,
        "rate": "off"
    }
    rclone rc core/bwlimit rate=1M
    {
        "bytesPerSecond": 1048576,
        "bytesPerSecondTx": 1048576,
        "bytesPerSecondRx": 1048576,
        "rate": "1M"
    }
    rclone rc core/bwlimit rate=1M:100k
    {
        "bytesPerSecond": 1048576,
        "bytesPerSecondTx": 1048576,
        "bytesPerSecondRx": 131072,
        "rate": "1M"
    }

If the rate parameter is not supplied then the bandwidth is queried

    rclone rc core/bwlimit
    {
        "bytesPerSecond": 1048576,
        "bytesPerSecondTx": 1048576,
        "bytesPerSecondRx": 1048576,
        "rate": "1M"
    }

The format of the parameter is exactly the same as passed to --bwlimit
except only one bandwidth may be specified.

In either case "rate" is returned as a human-readable string, and
"bytesPerSecond" is returned as a number.

core/command: Run a rclone terminal command over rc.

This takes the following parameters:

-   command - a string with the command name.
-   arg - a list of arguments for the backend command.
-   opt - a map of string to string of options.
-   returnType - one of ("COMBINED_OUTPUT", "STREAM",
    "STREAM_ONLY_STDOUT", "STREAM_ONLY_STDERR").
    -   Defaults to "COMBINED_OUTPUT" if not set.
    -   The STREAM returnTypes will write the output to the body of the
        HTTP message.
    -   The COMBINED_OUTPUT will write the output to the "result"
        parameter.

Returns:

-   result - result from the backend command.
    -   Only set when using returnType "COMBINED_OUTPUT".
-   error - set if rclone exits with an error code.
-   returnType - one of ("COMBINED_OUTPUT", "STREAM",
    "STREAM_ONLY_STDOUT", "STREAM_ONLY_STDERR").

Example:

    rclone rc core/command command=ls -a mydrive:/ -o max-depth=1
    rclone rc core/command -a ls -a mydrive:/ -o max-depth=1

Returns:

    {
        "error": false,
        "result": "<Raw command line output>"
    }

    OR
    {
        "error": true,

to by --cache-dir.

-   dir - string (optional)

Returns:

    {
        "dir": "/",
        "info": {

        }
    }

core/gc: Runs a garbage collection.

This tells the go runtime to do a garbage collection run. It isn't
necessary to call this normally, but it can be useful for debugging
memory problems.

core/group-list: Returns list of stats.

This returns list of stats groups currently in memory.

Returns the following values:

    {
        "groups":  an array of group names:

                ...
            ]
    }

core/memstats: Returns the memory statistics

This returns the memory statistics of the running program. What the
values mean are explained in the go docs:

-   HeapSys - this is the amount of memory rclone has obtained from the
    OS
-   Sys - this is the total amount of memory requested from the OS
    -   It is virtual memory so may include unused memory

core/obscure: Obscures a string passed in.

Pass a clear string and rclone will obscure it for the config file: -
clear - string

Returns: - obscured - string

core/pid: Return PID of current process

This returns PID of current process. Useful for stopping rclone process.

core/quit: Terminates the app.

(Optional) Pass an exit code to be used for terminating the app: -
exitCode - int

-   isBeta - boolean - true if this is a beta version
-   os - OS in use as according to Go

-   linking - type of rclone executable (static or dynamic)
-   goTags - space separated build tags or "none"

debug/set-block-profile-rate: Set runtime.SetBlockProfileRate for blocking profiling.

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.

To include every blocking event in the profile, pass rate = 1. To turn
off profiling entirely, pass rate <= 0.

After calling this you can use this to see the blocking profile:

    go tool pprof http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/block

Parameters:

-   rate - int

debug/set-gc-percent: Call runtime/debug.SetGCPercent for setting the garbage collection target percentage.

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.

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.

See https://pkg.go.dev/runtime/debug#SetMemoryLimit for more details.

Parameters:

-   gc-percent - int

debug/set-mutex-profile-fraction: Set runtime.SetMutexProfileFraction for mutex profiling.

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.

To turn off profiling entirely, pass rate 0. To just read the current
rate, pass rate < 0. (For n>1 the details of sampling may change.)

Once this is set you can look use this to profile the mutex contention:

    go tool pprof http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/mutex

Parameters:

-   rate - int

Results:

-   previousRate - int

debug/set-soft-memory-limit: Call runtime/debug.SetMemoryLimit for setting a soft memory limit for the runtime.

SetMemoryLimit provides the runtime with a soft memory limit.

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).

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

Parameters:

-   mem-limit - int

fscache/clear: Clear the Fs cache.

This clears the fs cache. This is where remotes created from backends

options/blocks: List all the option blocks

Returns: - options - a list of the options block names

options/get: Get all the global options

Returns an object where keys are option block names and values are an
object with the current option values in.

Note that these are the global options which are unaffected by use of
the _config and _filter parameters. If you wish to read the parameters
set in _config then use options/config and for _filter use
options/filter.

This shows the internal names of the option within rclone which should
map to the external options very easily with a few exceptions.

options/local: Get the currently active config for this call

Returns an object with the keys "config" and "filter". The "config" key
contains the local config and the "filter" key contains the local
filters.

Note that these are the local options specific to this rc call. If
_config was not supplied then they will be the global options. Likewise
with "_filter".

This call is mostly useful for seeing if _config and _filter passing is
working.

This shows the internal names of the option within rclone which should
map to the external options very easily with a few exceptions.

options/set: Set an option

Parameters:

-   option block name containing an object with
    -   key: value

Repeated as often as required.

Only supply the options you wish to change. If an option is unknown it
will be silently ignored. Not all options will have an effect when
changed like this.

For example:

This sets DEBUG level logs (-vv) (these can be set by number or string)

    rclone rc options/set --json '{"main": {"LogLevel": "DEBUG"}}'
    rclone rc options/set --json '{"main": {"LogLevel": 8}}'

And this sets INFO level logs (-v)

    rclone rc options/set --json '{"main": {"LogLevel": "INFO"}}'

And this sets NOTICE level logs (normal without -v)

    rclone rc options/set --json '{"main": {"LogLevel": "NOTICE"}}'

Authentication is required for this call.

vfs/forget: Forget files or directories in the directory cache.

This forgets the paths in the directory cache causing them to be re-read
from the remote when needed.

If no paths are passed in then it will forget all the paths in the
directory cache.

    rclone rc vfs/forget

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.

    rclone rc vfs/forget file=hello file2=goodbye dir=home/junk

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.

vfs/list: List active VFSes.

This lists the active VFSes.

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.

vfs/poll-interval: Get the status or update the value of the poll-interval option.

Without any parameter given this returns the current status of the
poll-interval setting.

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.

    rclone rc vfs/poll-interval interval=5m

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.

The new poll-interval value will only be active when the timeout is not
reached.

If poll-interval is updated or disabled temporarily, some changes might
not get picked up by the polling function, depending on the used remote.

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.

vfs/refresh: Refresh the directory cache.

This reads the directories for the specified paths and freshens the
directory cache.

If no paths are passed in then it will refresh the root directory.

    rclone rc vfs/refresh

Otherwise pass directories in as dir=path. Any parameter key starting
with dir will refresh that directory, e.g.

    rclone rc vfs/refresh dir=home/junk dir2=data/misc

If the parameter recursive=true is given the whole directory tree will
get refreshed. This refresh will use --fast-list if enabled.

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.

vfs/stats: Stats for a VFS.

This returns stats for the selected VFS.

    {
        // Status of the disk cache - only present if --vfs-cache-mode > off
        "diskCache": {
            "bytesUsed": 0,
            "erroredFiles": 0,
            "files": 0,
            "hashType": 1,
            "outOfSpace": false,
            "path": "/home/user/.cache/rclone/vfs/local/mnt/a",
            "pathMeta": "/home/user/.cache/rclone/vfsMeta/local/mnt/a",
            "uploadsInProgress": 0,
            "uploadsQueued": 0
        },
        "fs": "/mnt/a",
        "inUse": 1,
        // Status of the in memory metadata cache
        "metadataCache": {
            "dirs": 1,
            "files": 0
        },
        // Options as returned by options/get
        "opt": {
            "CacheMaxAge": 3600000000000,
            // ...
            "WriteWait": 1000000000
        }
    }

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.

Accessing the remote control via HTTP

Rclone implements a simple HTTP based protocol.

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.

All calls must made using POST.

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 curl.

The response will be a JSON blob in the body of the response. This is
formatted to be reasonably human-readable.

Error returns

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.

    {
        "error": "Expecting string value for key \"remote\" (was float64)",
        "input": {
            "fs": "/tmp",
            "remote": 3
        },
        "status": 400
        "path": "operations/rmdir",
    }

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

CORS

The sever implements basic CORS support and allows all origins for that.
The response to a preflight OPTIONS request will echo the requested
"Access-Control-Request-Headers" back.

Using POST with URL parameters only

    curl -X POST 'http://localhost:5572/rc/noop?potato=1&sausage=2'

Response

    {
        "potato": "1",
        "sausage": "2"
    }

Here is what an error response looks like:

    curl -X POST 'http://localhost:5572/rc/error?potato=1&sausage=2'

    {
        "error": "arbitrary error on input map[potato:1 sausage:2]",
        "input": {
            "potato": "1",
            "sausage": "2"
        }
    }

Note that curl doesn't return errors to the shell unless you use the -f
option

    $ curl -f -X POST 'http://localhost:5572/rc/error?potato=1&sausage=2'
    curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 400 Bad Request
    $ echo $?
    22

Using POST with a form

    curl --data "potato=1" --data "sausage=2" http://localhost:5572/rc/noop

Response

    {
        "potato": "1",
        "sausage": "2"
    }

Note that you can combine these with URL parameters too with the POST
parameters taking precedence.

    curl --data "potato=1" --data "sausage=2" "http://localhost:5572/rc/noop?rutabaga=3&sausage=4"

Response

    {
        "potato": "1",
        "rutabaga": "3",
        "sausage": "4"
    }

Using POST with a JSON blob

    curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"potato":2,"sausage":1}' http://localhost:5572/rc/noop

response

    {
        "password": "xyz",
        "username": "xyz"
    }

This can be combined with URL parameters too if required. The JSON blob
takes precedence.

    curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"potato":2,"sausage":1}' 'http://localhost:5572/rc/noop?rutabaga=3&potato=4'

    {
        "potato": 2,
        "rutabaga": "3",
        "sausage": 1
    }

Debugging rclone with pprof

If you use the --rc flag this will also enable the use of the go
profiling tools on the same port.

To use these, first install go.

Debugging memory use

To profile rclone's memory use you can run:

    go tool pprof -web http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/heap

This should open a page in your browser showing what is using what
memory.

You can also use the -text flag to produce a textual summary

    $ go tool pprof -text http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/heap

Debugging go routine leaks

Memory leaks are most often caused by go routine leaks keeping memory
alive which should have been garbage collected.

See all active go routines using

    curl http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/goroutine?debug=1

Or go to http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/goroutine?debug=1 in your
browser.

Other profiles to look at

You can see a summary of profiles available at
http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/

Here is how to use some of them:

-   Memory: go tool pprof http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/heap
-   Go routines:
    curl http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/goroutine?debug=1
-   30-second CPU profile:
    go tool pprof http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/profile
-   5-second execution trace:
    wget http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/trace?seconds=5
-   Goroutine blocking profile
    -   Enable first with: rclone rc debug/set-block-profile-rate rate=1
        (docs)
    -   go tool pprof http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/block
-   Contended mutexes:
    -   Enable first with:
        rclone rc debug/set-mutex-profile-fraction rate=1 (docs)
    -   go tool pprof http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/mutex

See the net/http/pprof docs for more info on how to use the profiling
and for a general overview see the Go team's blog post on profiling go
programs.

The profiling hook is zero overhead unless it is used.

Overview of cloud storage systems

Each cloud storage system is slightly 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.

Notes

¹ Dropbox supports its own custom hash. This is an SHA256 sum of all the
4 MiB block SHA256s.

² SFTP supports checksums if the same login has shell access and md5sum
or sha1sum as well as echo are in the remote's PATH.

³ WebDAV supports hashes when used with Fastmail Files, Owncloud and
Nextcloud only.

⁴ WebDAV supports modtimes when used with Fastmail Files, Owncloud and
Nextcloud only.

⁵ QuickXorHash is Microsoft's own hash.

⁶ Mail.ru uses its own modified SHA1 hash

⁷ pCloud only supports SHA1 (not MD5) in its EU region

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 rclone. It may be that this is a mistake or
an unsupported feature.

⁹ QingStor does not support SetModTime for objects bigger than 5 GiB.

¹⁰ FTP supports modtimes for the major FTP servers, and also others if
they advertised required protocol extensions. See this for more details.

¹¹ Internet Archive requires option wait_archive to be set to a non-zero
value for full modtime support.

¹² HiDrive supports its own custom hash. It combines SHA1 sums for each
4 KiB block hierarchically to a single top-level sum.

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 verify checksums when transferring between cloud storage
systems they must support a common hash type.

ModTime

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
represent 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 --checksum flag).
Ideally it should also be possible to change the timestamp of an
existing file without having to re-upload it.

Storage systems with a - 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).

Storage systems with a R (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 (SetModTime operation) without re-uploading, possibly
not even without deleting existing first. Some operations in rclone,
such as copy and sync commands, will automatically check for SetModTime
support and re-upload if necessary to keep the modification times in
sync. Other commands will not work without SetModTime support, e.g.
touch command on an existing file will fail, and changes to modification
time only on a files in a mount will be silently ignored.

Storage systems with R/W (for read/write) in the ModTime column, means
they do also support modtime-only operations.

Case Insensitive

If a cloud storage systems is case sensitive then it is possible to have
two files which differ only in case, e.g. 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 and SFTP 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 (e.g. 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.

Restricted filenames

Some cloud storage systems might have restrictions on the characters
that are usable in file or directory names. When rclone 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 encoding.

This process is designed to avoid ambiguous file names as much as
possible and allow to move files between many cloud storage systems
transparently.

The name shown by rclone to the user or during log output will only
contain a minimal set of replaced characters to ensure correct
formatting and not necessarily the actual name used on the cloud
storage.

This transformation is reversed when downloading a file or parsing
rclone arguments. For example, when uploading a file named my file?.txt
to Onedrive, it will be displayed as my file?.txt on the console, but
stored as my file？.txt to Onedrive (the ? gets replaced by the similar
looking ？ character, the so-called "fullwidth question mark"). The
reverse transformation allows to read a file unusual/name.txt from
Google Drive, by passing the name unusual／name.txt on the command line
(the / needs to be replaced by the similar looking ／ character).

Caveats

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.

On Windows, the characters :, * and ? 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 ＊, ？ and ： when downloading to Windows, and back again when
uploading. This way files with names that are not allowed on Windows can
still be stored.

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 Test：1.jpg, where ： is the Unicode fullwidth
colon symbol, and use rclone to upload it to Google Drive, which
supports regular : (halfwidth question mark), rclone will replace the
fullwidth : with the halfwidth : and store the file as Test:1.jpg in
Google Drive. Since both Windows and Google Drive allows the name
Test：1.jpg, it would probably be better if rclone just kept the name as
is in this case.

With the opposite situation; if you have a file named Test:1.jpg, in
your Google Drive, e.g. uploaded from a Linux system where : 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
Test：1.jpg. The original filename is not legal on Windows, due to the
:, 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
different file named Test：1.jpg on Windows, and then use rclone to copy
either way. Rclone will then treat the file originally named Test:1.jpg
on Google Drive and the file originally named Test：1.jpg on Windows as
the same file, and replace the contents from one with the other.

Its virtually impossible to handle all cases like these correctly in all
situations, but by customizing the encoding option, 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
example below.

(Windows was used as an example of a file system with many restricted
characters, and Google drive a storage system with few.)

Default restricted characters

The table below shows the characters that are replaced by default.

When a replacement character is found in a filename, this character will
be escaped with the ‛ character to avoid ambiguous file names. (e.g. a
file named ␀.txt would shown as ‛␀.txt)

Each cloud storage backend can use a different set of characters, which
will be specified in the documentation for each backend.

The default encoding will also encode these file names as they are
problematic with many cloud storage systems.

Invalid UTF-8 bytes

Some backends only support a sequence of well formed UTF-8 bytes as file
or directory names.

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 0xFE will be encoded as ‛FE.

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
local filenames section for details.

Encoding option

Most backends have an encoding option, specified as a flag
--backend-encoding where backend is the name of the backend, or as a
config parameter encoding (you'll need to select the Advanced config in
rclone config to see it).

This will have default value which encodes and decodes characters in
such a way as to preserve the maximum number of characters (see above).

However this can be incorrect in some scenarios, for example if you have
a Windows file system with Unicode fullwidth characters ＊, ？ or ：,
that you want to remain as those characters on the remote rather than
being translated to regular (halfwidth) *, ? and :.

The --backend-encoding flags allow you to change that. You can disable
the encoding completely with --backend-encoding None or set
encoding = None in the config file.

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.
--local-encoding "help". The command rclone help flags encoding will
show you the defaults for the backends.

Encoding example: FTP

To take a specific example, the FTP backend's default encoding is

    --ftp-encoding "Slash,Del,Ctl,RightSpace,Dot"

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

    Slash,LtGt,DoubleQuote,Colon,Question,Asterisk,Pipe,BackSlash,Ctl,RightSpace,RightPeriod,InvalidUtf8,Dot

to the existing ones, giving:

    Slash,LtGt,DoubleQuote,Colon,Question,Asterisk,Pipe,BackSlash,Ctl,RightSpace,RightPeriod,InvalidUtf8,Dot,Del,RightSpace

This can be specified using the --ftp-encoding flag or using an encoding
parameter in the config file.

Encoding example: Windows

As a nother example, take a Windows system where there is a file with
name Test：1.jpg, where ： is the Unicode fullwidth colon symbol. When
using rclone to copy this to a remote which supports :, the regular
(halfwidth) colon (such as Google Drive), you will notice that the file
gets renamed to Test:1.jpg.

To avoid this you can change the set of characters rclone should convert
for the local filesystem, using command-line argument --local-encoding.
Rclone's default behavior on Windows corresponds to

    --local-encoding "Slash,LtGt,DoubleQuote,Colon,Question,Asterisk,Pipe,BackSlash,Ctl,RightSpace,RightPeriod,InvalidUtf8,Dot"

If you want to use fullwidth characters ：, ＊ and ？ in your filenames
without rclone changing them when uploading to a remote, then set the
same as the default value but without Colon,Question,Asterisk:

    --local-encoding "Slash,LtGt,DoubleQuote,Pipe,BackSlash,Ctl,RightSpace,RightPeriod,InvalidUtf8,Dot"

Alternatively, you can disable the conversion of any characters with
--local-encoding None.

Instead of using command-line argument --local-encoding, you may also
set it as environment variable RCLONE_LOCAL_ENCODING, or configure a
remote of type local in your config, and set the encoding option there.

The risk by doing this is that if you have a filename with the regular
(halfwidth) :, * and ? 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.

MIME Type

MIME types (also known as media types) classify types of documents using
a simple text classification, e.g. text/html or application/pdf.

Some cloud storage systems support reading (R) the MIME type of objects
and some support writing (W) the MIME type of objects.

The MIME type can be important if you are serving files directly to HTTP
from the storage system.

If you are copying from a remote which supports reading (R) to a remote
which supports writing (W) then rclone will preserve the MIME types.
Otherwise they will be guessed from the extension, or the remote itself
may assign the MIME type.

Metadata

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).

The levels of metadata support are

  Key   Explanation
  ----- -----------------------------------------------------------------
  R     Read only System Metadata
  RW    Read and write System Metadata
  RWU   Read and write System Metadata and read and write User Metadata

See the metadata docs for more info.

Optional Features

All rclone remotes support a base command set. Other features depend
upon backend-specific capabilities.

Purge

This deletes a directory quicker than just deleting all the files in the
directory.

† Note Swift implements this in order to delete directory markers but
they don't actually have a quicker way of deleting files other than
deleting them individually.

☨ Storj implements this efficiently only for entire buckets. If purging
a directory inside a bucket, files are deleted individually.

‡ StreamUpload is not supported with Nextcloud

Copy

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 rclone copy or rclone move if
the remote doesn't support Move directly.

If the server doesn't support Copy directly then for copy operations the
file is downloaded then re-uploaded.

Move

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 rclone move if the server
doesn't support DirMove.

If the server isn't capable of Move then rclone simulates it with Copy
then delete. If the server doesn't support Copy then rclone will
download the file and re-upload it.

DirMove

This is used to implement rclone move to move a directory if possible.
If it isn't then it will use Move on each file (which falls back to Copy
then download and upload - see Move section).

CleanUp

This is used for emptying the trash for a remote by rclone cleanup.

If the server can't do CleanUp then rclone cleanup will return an error.

‡‡ 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

ListR

The remote supports a recursive list to list all the contents beneath a
directory quickly. This enables the --fast-list flag to work. See the
rclone docs for more details.

StreamUpload

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. rclone rcat.

MultithreadUpload

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.

LinkSharing

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.

About

Rclone about prints quota information for a remote. Typical output
includes bytes used, free, quota and in trash.

If a remote lacks about capability rclone about remote:returns an error.

Backends without about capability cannot determine free space for an
rclone mount, or use policy mfs (most free space) as a member of an
rclone union remote.

See rclone about command

EmptyDir

The remote supports empty directories. See Limitations for details. Most
Object/Bucket-based remotes do not support this.

Docker Volume Plugin

Introduction

Docker 1.9 has added support for creating named volumes via command-line
interface and mounting them in containers as a way to share data between
them. Since Docker 1.10 you can create named volumes with Docker Compose
by descriptions in docker-compose.yml files for use by container groups
on a single host. As of Docker 1.12 volumes are supported by Docker
Swarm included with Docker Engine and created from descriptions in swarm
compose v3 files for use with swarm stacks across multiple cluster
nodes.

Docker Volume Plugins augment the default local volume driver included
in Docker with stateful volumes shared across containers and hosts.
Unlike local volumes, your data will not be deleted when such volume is
removed. Plugins can run managed by the docker daemon, as a native
system service (under systemd, sysv or upstart) or as a standalone
executable. Rclone can run as docker volume plugin in all these modes.
It interacts with the local docker daemon via plugin API 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.

Getting started

In the first example we will use the SFTP rclone volume with Docker
engine on a standalone Ubuntu machine.

Start from installing Docker on the host.

The FUSE driver is a prerequisite for rclone mounting and should be
installed on host:

    sudo apt-get -y install fuse

Create two directories required by rclone docker plugin:

    sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/docker-plugins/rclone/config
    sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/docker-plugins/rclone/cache

Install the managed rclone docker plugin for your architecture (here
amd64):

    docker plugin install rclone/docker-volume-rclone:amd64 args="-v" --alias rclone --grant-all-permissions
    docker plugin list

Create your SFTP volume:

    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

Note that since all options are static, you don't even have to run
rclone config or create the rclone.conf file (but the config directory
should still be present). In the simplest case you can use localhost as
hostname and your SSH credentials as username and password. You can also
change the remote path to your home directory on the host, for example
-o path=/home/username.

Time to create a test container and mount the volume into it:

    docker run --rm -it -v firstvolume:/mnt --workdir /mnt ubuntu:latest bash

If all goes well, you will enter the new container and change right to
the mounted SFTP remote. You can type ls to list the mounted directory
or otherwise play with it. Type exit 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:

    docker volume list
    docker volume remove firstvolume

Now let us try something more elaborate: Google Drive volume on
multi-node Docker Swarm.

You should start from installing Docker and FUSE, creating plugin
directories and installing rclone plugin on every swarm node. Then setup
the Swarm.

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 rclone
setup on a headless box.

Run rclone config on another machine equipped with web browser and
graphical user interface. Create the Google Drive remote. When done,
transfer the resulting rclone.conf to the Swarm cluster and save as
/var/lib/docker-plugins/rclone/config/rclone.conf on every 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:

    [gdrive]
    type = drive
    scope = drive
    drive_id = 1234567...
    root_folder_id = 0Abcd...
    token = {"access_token":...}

Now create the file named example.yml with a swarm stack description
like this:

    version: '3'
    services:
      heimdall:
        image: linuxserver/heimdall:latest
        ports: [8080:80]
        volumes: [configdata:/config]
    volumes:
      configdata:
        driver: rclone
        driver_opts:
          remote: 'gdrive:heimdall'
          allow_other: 'true'
          vfs_cache_mode: full
          poll_interval: 0

and run the stack:

    docker stack deploy example -c ./example.yml

After a few seconds docker will spread the parsed stack description over
cluster, create the example_heimdall service on port 8080, run service
containers on one or more cluster nodes and request the
example_configdata volume from rclone plugins on the node hosts. You can
use the following commands to confirm results:

    docker service ls
    docker service ps example_heimdall
    docker volume ls

Point your browser to http://cluster.host.address:8080 and play with the
service. Stop it with docker stack remove example when you are done.
Note that the example_configdata 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
docker volume remove example_configdata command on every node.

Creating Volumes via CLI

Volumes can be created with docker volume create. Here are a few
examples:

    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

Note the -d rclone flag that tells docker to request volume from the
rclone driver. This works even if you installed managed driver by its
full name rclone/docker-volume-rclone because you provided the
--alias rclone option.

Volumes can be inspected as follows:

    docker volume list
    docker volume inspect vol1

Volume Configuration

Rclone flags and volume options are set via the -o flag to the
docker volume create command. They include backend-specific parameters
as well as mount and VFS options. Also there are a few special -o
options: remote, fs, type, path, mount-type and persist.

remote determines an existing remote name from the config file, with
trailing colon and optionally with a remote path. See the full syntax in
the rclone documentation. This option can be aliased as fs to prevent
confusion with the remote parameter of such backends as crypt or alias.

The remote=:backend:dir/subdir syntax can be used to create on-the-fly
(config-less) remotes, while the type and path options provide a simpler
alternative for this. Using two split options

    -o type=backend -o path=dir/subdir

is equivalent to the combined syntax

    -o remote=:backend:dir/subdir

but is arguably easier to parameterize in scripts. The path part is
optional.

Mount and VFS options as well as backend parameters are named like their
twin command-line flags without the -- CLI prefix. Optionally you can
use underscores instead of dashes in option names. For example,
--vfs-cache-mode full becomes -o vfs-cache-mode=full or
-o vfs_cache_mode=full. Boolean CLI flags without value will gain the
true value, e.g. --allow-other becomes -o allow-other=true or
-o allow_other=true.

Please note that you can provide parameters only for the backend
immediately referenced by the backend type of mounted remote. If this is
a wrapping backend like alias, chunker or crypt, 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 rclone.conf or configure plugin arguments (see
below).

Special Volume Options

mount-type determines the mount method and in general can be one of:
mount, cmount, or mount2. This can be aliased as mount_type. It should
be noted that the managed rclone docker plugin currently does not
support the cmount method and mount2 is rarely needed. This option
defaults to the first found method, which is usually mount so you
generally won't need it.

persist is a reserved boolean (true/false) option. In future it will
allow to persist on-the-fly remotes in the plugin rclone.conf file.

Connection Strings

The remote value can be extended with connection strings as an
alternative way to supply backend parameters. This is equivalent to the
-o backend options with one syntactic difference. Inside connection
string the backend prefix must be dropped from parameter names but in
the -o param=value array it must be present. For instance, compare the
following option array

    -o remote=:sftp:/home -o sftp-host=localhost

with equivalent connection string:

    -o remote=:sftp,host=localhost:/home

This difference exists because flag options -o key=val include not only
backend parameters but also mount/VFS flags and possibly other settings.
Also it allows to discriminate the remote option from the crypt-remote
(or similarly named backend parameters) and arguably simplifies
scripting due to clearer value substitution.

Using with Swarm or Compose

Both Docker Swarm and Docker Compose use YAML-formatted text files to
describe groups (stacks) of containers, their properties, networks and
volumes. Compose uses the compose v2 format, Swarm uses the compose v3
format. They are mostly similar, differences are explained in the docker
documentation.

Volumes are described by the children of the top-level volumes: node.
Each of them should be named after its volume and have at least two
elements, the self-explanatory driver: rclone value and the driver_opts:
structure playing the same role as -o key=val CLI flags:

    volumes:
      volume_name_1:
        driver: rclone
        driver_opts:
          remote: 'gdrive:'
          allow_other: 'true'
          vfs_cache_mode: full
          token: '{"type": "borrower", "expires": "2021-12-31"}'
          poll_interval: 0

Notice a few important details: - YAML prefers _ in option names instead
of -. - YAML treats single and double quotes interchangeably. Simple
strings and integers can be left unquoted. - Boolean values must be
quoted like 'true' or "false" because these two words are reserved by
YAML. - The filesystem string is keyed with remote (or with fs).
Normally you can omit quotes here, but if the string ends with colon,
you must quote it like remote: "storage_box:". - YAML is picky about
surrounding braces in values as this is in fact another syntax for
key/value mappings. For example, JSON access tokens usually contain
double quotes and surrounding braces, so you must put them in single
quotes.

Installing as Managed Plugin

Docker daemon can install plugins from an image registry and run them
managed. We maintain the docker-volume-rclone plugin image on Docker
Hub.

Rclone volume plugin requires Docker Engine >= 19.03.15

The plugin requires presence of two directories on the host before it
can be installed. Note that plugin will not create them automatically.
By default they must exist on host at the following locations (though
you can tweak the paths): - /var/lib/docker-plugins/rclone/config is
reserved for the rclone.conf config file and must exist even if it's
empty and the config file is not present. -
/var/lib/docker-plugins/rclone/cache holds the plugin state file as well
as optional VFS caches.

You can install managed plugin with default settings as follows:

    docker plugin install rclone/docker-volume-rclone:amd64 --grant-all-permissions --alias rclone

The :amd64 part of the image specification after colon is called a tag.
Usually you will want to install the latest plugin for your
architecture. In this case the tag will just name it, like amd64 above.
The following plugin architectures are currently available: - amd64 -
arm64 - arm-v7

Sometimes you might want a concrete plugin version, not the latest one.
Then you should use image tag in the form :ARCHITECTURE-VERSION. For
example, to install plugin version v1.56.2 on architecture arm64 you
will use tag arm64-1.56.2 (note the removed v) so the full image
specification becomes rclone/docker-volume-rclone:arm64-1.56.2.

We also provide the latest plugin tag, but since docker does not support
multi-architecture plugins as of the time of this writing, this tag is
currently an alias for amd64. By convention the latest tag is the
default one and can be omitted, thus both
rclone/docker-volume-rclone:latest and just rclone/docker-volume-rclone
will refer to the latest plugin release for the amd64 platform.

Also the amd64 part can be omitted from the versioned rclone plugin
tags. For example, rclone image reference
rclone/docker-volume-rclone:amd64-1.56.2 can be abbreviated as
rclone/docker-volume-rclone:1.56.2 for convenience. However, for
non-intel architectures you still have to use the full tag as amd64 or
latest will fail to start.

Managed plugin is in fact a special container running in a namespace
separate from normal docker containers. Inside it runs the
rclone serve docker 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.

You can tweak a few plugin settings after installation when it's
disabled (not in use), for instance:

    docker plugin disable rclone
    docker plugin set rclone RCLONE_VERBOSE=2 config=/etc/rclone args="--vfs-cache-mode=writes --allow-other"
    docker plugin enable rclone
    docker plugin inspect rclone

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.

You can tweak the following settings: args, config, cache, HTTP_PROXY,
HTTPS_PROXY, NO_PROXY and RCLONE_VERBOSE. It's your task to keep plugin
settings in sync across swarm cluster nodes.

args sets command-line arguments for the rclone serve docker command
(none by default). Arguments should be separated by space so you will
normally want to put them in quotes on the docker plugin set command
line. Both serve docker flags and generic rclone flags are supported,
including backend parameters that will be used as defaults for volume
creation. Note that plugin will fail (due to this docker bug) if the
args value is empty. Use e.g. args="-v" as a workaround.

config=/host/dir sets alternative host location for the config
directory. Plugin will look for rclone.conf 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
rclone.conf. 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 /data/config. For example, if
your key file is named sftp-box1.key on the host, the corresponding
volume config option should read
-o sftp-key-file=/data/config/sftp-box1.key.

cache=/host/dir sets alternative host location for the cache directory.
The plugin will keep VFS caches here. Also it will create and maintain
the docker-plugin.state 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.

RCLONE_VERBOSE sets plugin verbosity from 0 (errors only, by default) to
2 (debugging). Verbosity can be also tweaked via args="-v [-v] ...".
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 errors in the docker log but retain their
actual level assigned by rclone in the encapsulated message string.

HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, NO_PROXY customize the plugin proxy settings.

You can set custom plugin options right when you install it, in one go:

    docker plugin remove rclone
    docker plugin install rclone/docker-volume-rclone:amd64 \
           --alias rclone --grant-all-permissions \
           args="-v --allow-other" config=/etc/rclone
    docker plugin inspect rclone

Healthchecks

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:

    services:
      my_service:
        image: my_image
        healthcheck:
          test: ls /path/to/rclone/mount || exit 1
          interval: 1m
          timeout: 15s
          retries: 3
          start_period: 15s

Running Plugin under Systemd

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.

First, install rclone. You can just run it (type rclone serve docker and
hit enter) for the test.

Install FUSE:

    sudo apt-get -y install fuse

Download two systemd configuration files: docker-volume-rclone.service
and docker-volume-rclone.socket.

Put them to the /etc/systemd/system/ directory:

    cp docker-volume-plugin.service /etc/systemd/system/
    cp docker-volume-plugin.socket  /etc/systemd/system/

Please note that all commands in this section must be run as root but we
omit sudo prefix for brevity. Now create directories required by the
service:

    mkdir -p /var/lib/docker-volumes/rclone
    mkdir -p /var/lib/docker-plugins/rclone/config
    mkdir -p /var/lib/docker-plugins/rclone/cache

Run the docker plugin service in the socket activated mode:

    systemctl daemon-reload
    systemctl start docker-volume-rclone.service
    systemctl enable docker-volume-rclone.socket
    systemctl start docker-volume-rclone.socket
    systemctl restart docker

Or run the service directly: - run systemctl daemon-reload to let
systemd pick up new config - run
systemctl enable docker-volume-rclone.service to make the new service
start automatically when you power on your machine. - run
systemctl start docker-volume-rclone.service to start the service now. -
run systemctl restart docker 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.

The two methods are equivalent from the user perspective, but I
personally prefer socket activation.

Troubleshooting

You can see managed plugin settings with

    docker plugin list
    docker plugin inspect rclone

Note that docker (including latest 20.10.7) will not show actual values
of args, just the defaults.

Use journalctl --unit docker to see managed plugin output as part of the
docker daemon log. Note that docker reflects plugin lines as errors but
their actual level can be seen from encapsulated message string.

You will usually install the latest version of managed plugin for your
platform. Use the following commands to print the actual installed
version:

    PLUGID=$(docker plugin list --no-trunc | awk '/rclone/{print$1}')
    sudo runc --root /run/docker/runtime-runc/plugins.moby exec $PLUGID rclone version

You can even use runc to run shell inside the plugin container:

    sudo runc --root /run/docker/runtime-runc/plugins.moby exec --tty $PLUGID bash

Also you can use curl to check the plugin socket connectivity:

    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

though this is rarely needed.

Caveats

Finally I'd like to mention a caveat with updating volume settings.
Docker CLI does not have a dedicated command like docker volume update.
It may be tempting to invoke docker volume create 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:

    docker volume remove my_vol
    docker volume create my_vol -d rclone -o opt1=new_val1 ...

and verify that settings did update:

    docker volume list
    docker volume inspect my_vol

If docker refuses to remove the volume, you should find containers or
swarm services that use it and stop them first.

Getting started

-   Install rclone and setup your remotes.
-   Bisync will create its working directory at ~/.cache/rclone/bisync
    on Linux or C:\Users\MyLogin\AppData\Local\rclone\bisync on Windows.
    Make sure that this location is writable.
-   Run bisync with the --resync flag, specifying the paths to the local
    and remote sync directory roots.
-   For successive sync runs, leave off the --resync flag.
-   Consider using a filters file for excluding unnecessary files and
    directories from the sync.
-   Consider setting up the --check-access feature for safety.
-   On Linux, consider setting up a crontab entry. bisync can safely run
    in concurrent cron jobs thanks to lock files it maintains.

Here is a typical run log (with timestamps removed for clarity):

Command line syntax

    $ rclone bisync --help
    Usage:
      rclone bisync remote1:path1 remote2:path2 [flags]

    Positional arguments:
      Path1, Path2  Local path, or remote storage with ':' plus optional path.
                    Type 'rclone listremotes' for list of configured remotes.

    Optional Flags:
          --check-access            Ensure expected `RCLONE_TEST` files are found on
                                    both Path1 and Path2 filesystems, else abort.

                                    If set to `only`, bisync will only compare listings
                                    from the last run but skip actual sync.
          --filters-file PATH       Read filtering patterns from a file
          --max-delete PERCENT      Safety check on maximum percentage of deleted files allowed.
                                    If exceeded, the bisync run will abort. (default: 50%)
          --force                   Bypass `--max-delete` safety check and run the sync.
                                    Consider using with `--verbose`

                                    Consider using `--verbose` or `--dry-run` first.
          --ignore-listing-checksum Do not use checksums for listings 
                                      (add --ignore-checksum to additionally skip post-copy checksum checks)

      -h, --help                    help for bisync

Arbitrary rclone flags may be specified on the bisync command line, for
example
rclone bisync ./testdir/path1/ gdrive:testdir/path2/ --drive-skip-gdocs -v -v --timeout 10s
Note that interactions of various rclone flags with bisync process flow
has not been fully tested yet.

Paths

Path1 and Path2 arguments may be references to any mix of local
directory paths (absolute or relative), UNC paths (//server/share/path),
Windows drive paths (with a drive letter and :) or configured remotes
with optional subdirectory paths. Cloud references are distinguished by
having a : in the argument (see Windows support below).

Path1 and Path2 are treated equally, in that neither has priority for
file changes (except during --resync), and access efficiency does not
change whether a remote is on Path1 or Path2.

The listings in bisync working directory (default:
~/.cache/rclone/bisync) 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.: path_to_local_tree..dropbox_subdir.lst.

Any empty directories after the sync on both the Path1 and Path2
filesystems are not deleted by default, unless --create-empty-src-dirs
is specified. If the --remove-empty-dirs flag is specified, then both
paths will have ALL empty directories purged as the last step in the
process.

Command-line flags

--resync

This will effectively make both Path1 and Path2 filesystems contain a
matching superset of all files. Path2 files that do not exist in Path1
will be copied to Path1, and the process will then copy the Path1 tree
to Path2.

The --resync sequence is roughly equivalent to:

    rclone copy Path2 Path1 --ignore-existing
    rclone copy Path1 Path2

Or, if using --create-empty-src-dirs:

    rclone copy Path2 Path1 --ignore-existing
    rclone copy Path1 Path2 --create-empty-src-dirs
    rclone copy Path2 Path1 --create-empty-src-dirs

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.

When using --resync, a newer version of a file on the Path2 filesystem
will be overwritten by the Path1 filesystem version. (Note that this is
NOT entirely symmetrical.) Carefully evaluate deltas using --dry-run.

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.

For a non-resync run, either path being empty (no files in the tree)
fails with
Empty current PathN listing. Cannot sync to an empty directory: X.pathN.lst
This is a safety check that an unexpected empty path does not result in
deleting everything in the other path.

--check-access

Access check files are an additional safety measure against data loss.
bisync will ensure it can find matching RCLONE_TEST files in the same
places in the Path1 and Path2 filesystems. RCLONE_TEST files are not
generated automatically. For --check-access to succeed, you must first
either: A) Place one or more RCLONE_TEST files in both systems, or B)
Set --check-filename to a filename already in use in various locations
throughout your sync'd fileset. Recommended methods for A) include: *
rclone touch Path1/RCLONE_TEST (create a new file) *
rclone copyto Path1/RCLONE_TEST Path2/RCLONE_TEST (copy an existing
file) *
rclone copy Path1/RCLONE_TEST Path2/RCLONE_TEST  --include "RCLONE_TEST"
(copy multiple files at once, recursively) * create the files manually
(outside of rclone) * run bisync once without --check-access 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).

Note that --check-access is still enforced on --resync, so
bisync --resync --check-access will not work as a method of initially
setting the files (this is to ensure that bisync can't inadvertently
circumvent its own safety switch.)

Time stamps and file contents for RCLONE_TEST files are not important,
just the names and locations. If you have symbolic links in your sync
tree it is recommended to place RCLONE_TEST 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
--check-filename flag.

--check-filename

Name of the file(s) used in access health validation. The default
--check-filename is RCLONE_TEST. One or more files having this filename
must exist, synchronized between your source and destination filesets,
in order for --check-access to succeed. See --check-access for
additional details.

--max-delete

As a safety check, if greater than the --max-delete 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
--max-delete is 50%. 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.
--max-delete 75 (allows up to 75% deletion), or use --force to bypass
the check.

Also see the all files changed check.

--filters-file

By using rclone filter features you can exclude file types or directory
sub-trees from the sync. See the bisync filters section and generic
--filter-from documentation. An example filters file contains filters
for non-allowed files for synching with Dropbox.

If you make changes to your filters file then bisync requires a run with
--resync. 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.

To block this from happening, bisync calculates an MD5 hash of the
filters file and stores the hash in a .md5 file in the same place as
your filters file. On the next run with --filters-file set, bisync
re-calculates the MD5 hash of the current filters file and compares it
to the hash stored in the .md5 file. If they don't match, the run aborts
with a critical error and thus forces you to do a --resync, likely
avoiding a disaster.

--check-sync

Enabled by default, the check-sync function checks that all of the same
files exist in both the Path1 and Path2 history listings. This
check-sync 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.

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 --check-sync=false will disable it and may
significantly reduce the sync run times for very large numbers of files.

The check may be run manually with --check-sync=only. It runs only the
integrity check and terminates without actually synching.

See also: Concurrent modifications

--ignore-listing-checksum

By default, 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. --ignore-listing-checksum will
disable this behavior, which may speed things up considerably,
especially on backends (such as local) where hashes must be computed on
the fly instead of retrieved. Please note the following:

-   While checksums are (by default) generated and stored in the listing
    files, they are NOT currently used for determining diffs (deltas).
    It is anticipated that full checksum support will be added in a
    future version.
-   --ignore-listing-checksum is NOT the same as --ignore-checksum, and
    you may wish to use one or the other, or both. In a nutshell:
    --ignore-listing-checksum controls whether checksums are considered
    when scanning for diffs, while --ignore-checksum controls whether
    checksums are considered during the copy/sync operations that
    follow, if there ARE diffs.
-   Unless --ignore-listing-checksum is passed, bisync currently
    computes hashes for one path even when there's no common hash with
    the other path (for example, a crypt remote.)
-   If both paths support checksums and have a common hash, AND
    --ignore-listing-checksum was not specified when creating the
    listings, --check-sync=only can be used to compare Path1 vs. Path2
    checksums (as of the time the previous listings were created.)
    However, --check-sync=only will NOT include checksums if the
    previous listings were generated on a run using
    --ignore-listing-checksum. For a more robust integrity check of the
    current state, consider using check (or cryptcheck, if at least one
    path is a crypt remote.)

--resilient

Caution: this is an experimental feature. Use at your own risk!

By default, most errors or interruptions will cause bisync to abort and
require --resync 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 --resilient is specified,
bisync tries its best to recover and self-correct, and only requires
--resync 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 cron).

When using --resilient 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 --resync first. Examples of such retryable errors include
access test failures, missing listing files, and filter change
detections. These safety features will still prevent the current run
from proceeding -- the difference is that if conditions have improved by
the time of the next run, that next run will be allowed to proceed.
Certain more serious errors will still enforce a --resync lockout, even
in --resilient mode, to prevent data loss.

Behavior of --resilient may change in a future version.

Operation

Runtime flow details

bisync retains the listings of the Path1 and Path2 filesystems 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 New, Newer, Older, and Deleted files.
-   Propagate changes on path1 to path2, and vice-versa.

Safety measures

-   Lock file prevents multiple simultaneous runs when taking a while.
    This can be particularly useful if bisync is run by cron scheduler.
-   Handle change conflicts non-destructively by creating ..path1 and
    ..path2 file versions.
-   File system access health check using RCLONE_TEST files (see the
    --check-access flag).
-   Abort on excessive deletes - protects against a failed listing being
    interpreted as all the files were deleted. See the --max-delete and
    --force flags.
-   If something evil happens, bisync goes into a safe state to block
    damage by later runs. (See Error Handling)

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

As of rclone v1.64, bisync is now better at detecting false positive
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 identical (using the
same underlying function as check.) If bisync concludes that the files
are identical, it will skip them and move on. Otherwise, it will create
renamed ..Path1 and ..Path2 duplicates, as before. This behavior also
improves the experience of renaming directories, as a --resync is no
longer required, so long as the same change has been made on both sides.

All files changed check

If all 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 --force to force the sync
(whichever side has the changed timestamp files wins). Alternately, a
--resync may be used (Path1 versions will be pushed to Path2). Consider
the situation carefully and perhaps use --dry-run before you commit to
the changes.

Modification time

Bisync relies on file timestamps to identify changed files and will
refuse to operate if backend lacks the modification time support.

If you or your application should change the content of a file without
changing the modification time then bisync will not notice the change,
and thus will not copy it to the other side.

Note that on some cloud storage systems it is not possible to have file
timestamps that match precisely between the local and other filesystems.

Bisync's approach to this problem is by tracking the changes on each
side separately over time with a local database of files in that side
then applying the resulting changes on the other side.

Error handling

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 --resync again.

It is recommended to use --resync --dry-run --verbose initially and
carefully review what changes will be made before running the --resync
without --dry-run.

Most of these events come up due to an error status from an internal
call. On such a critical error the {...}.path1.lst and {...}.path2.lst
listing files are renamed to extension .lst-err, which blocks any future
bisync runs (since the normal .lst files are not found). Bisync keeps
them under bisync subdirectory of the rclone cache directory, typically
at ${HOME}/.cache/rclone/bisync/ on Linux.

Some errors are considered temporary and re-running the bisync is not
blocked. The critical return blocks further bisync runs.

See also: --resilient

Lock file

When bisync is running, a lock file is created in the bisync working
directory, typically at ~/.cache/rclone/bisync/PATH1..PATH2.lck on
Linux. If bisync should crash or hang, the lock file will remain in
place and block any further runs of bisync for the same paths. Delete
the lock file as part of debugging the situation. The lock file
effectively blocks follow-on (e.g., scheduled by cron) runs when the
prior invocation is taking a long time. The lock file contains PID of
the blocking process, which may help in debug.

Note that while concurrent bisync runs are allowed, be very cautious
that there is no overlap in the trees being synched between concurrent
runs, lest there be replicated files, deleted files and general mayhem.

Return codes

rclone bisync returns the following codes to calling program: - 0 on a
successful run, - 1 for a non-critical failing run (a rerun may be
successful), - 2 for a critically aborted run (requires a --resync to
recover).

Limitations

Supported backends

Bisync is considered BETA and has been tested with the following
backends: - Local filesystem - Google Drive - Dropbox - OneDrive - S3 -
SFTP - Yandex Disk

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.

First release of rclone bisync requires that underlying backend supports
the modification time feature and will refuse to run otherwise. This
limitation will be lifted in a future rclone bisync release.

Concurrent modifications

When using Local, FTP or SFTP remotes rclone does not create temporary
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. This will
be solved in a future release, there is no workaround at the moment.

Files that change during a bisync run may result in data loss. This has
been seen in a highly dynamic environment, where the filesystem is
getting hammered by running processes during the sync. The currently
recommended solution is to sync at quiet times or filter out unnecessary
directories and files.

As an alternative approach, consider using --check-sync=false (and
possibly --resilient) to make bisync more forgiving of filesystems that
change during the sync. Be advised that this may cause bisync to miss
events that occur during a bisync run, so it is a good idea to
supplement this with a periodic independent integrity check, and
corrective sync if diffs are found. For example, a possible sequence
could look like this:

1.  Normally scheduled bisync run:

    rclone bisync Path1 Path2 -MPc --check-access --max-delete 10 --filters-file /path/to/filters.txt -v --check-sync=false --no-cleanup --ignore-listing-checksum --disable ListR --checkers=16 --drive-pacer-min-sleep=10ms --create-empty-src-dirs --resilient

2.  Periodic independent integrity check (perhaps scheduled nightly or
    weekly):

    rclone check -MvPc Path1 Path2 --filter-from /path/to/filters.txt

3.  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:

    rclone sync Path1 Path2 --filter-from /path/to/filters.txt --create-empty-src-dirs -MPc -v  

(or switch Path1 and Path2 to make Path2 the source-of-truth)

Or, if neither side is totally up-to-date, you could run a --resync to
bring them back into agreement (but remember that this could cause
deleted files to re-appear.)

*Note also that rclone check 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 rclone sync command with
--dry-run added.

Empty directories

By default, new/deleted empty directories on one path are not propagated
to the other side. This is because bisync (and rclone) natively works on
files, not directories. However, this can be changed with the
--create-empty-src-dirs flag, which works in much the same way as in
sync and copy. 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: * --create-empty-src-dirs is not compatible with
--remove-empty-dirs. Use only one or the other (or neither). * It is not
recommended to switch back and forth between --create-empty-src-dirs and
the default (no --create-empty-src-dirs) without running --resync. 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
--resync when you need to switch.

Renamed directories

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. Currently, the most effective
and efficient method of renaming a directory is to rename it to the same
name on both sides. (As of rclone v1.64, a --resync is no longer
required after doing so, as bisync will automatically detect that Path1
and Path2 are in agreement.)

--fast-list used by default

Unlike most other rclone commands, bisync uses --fast-list by default,
for backends that support it. In many cases this is desirable, however,
there are some scenarios in which bisync could be faster without
--fast-list, and there is also a known issue concerning Google Drive
users with many empty directories. For now, the recommended way to avoid
using --fast-list is to add --disable ListR to all bisync commands. The
default behavior may change in a future version.

Overridden Configs

When rclone detects an overridden config, it adds a suffix like {ABCDE}
on the fly to the internal name of the remote. Bisync follows suit by
including this suffix in its listing filenames. However, this suffix
does not necessarily persist from run to run, especially if different
flags are provided. So if next time the suffix assigned is {FGHIJ},
bisync will get confused, because it's looking for a listing file with
{FGHIJ}, when the file it wants has {ABCDE}. As a result, it throws
Bisync critical error: cannot find prior Path1 or Path2 listings, likely due to critical error on prior run
and refuses to run again until the user runs a --resync (unless using
--resilient). The best workaround at the moment is to set any
backend-specific flags in the config file instead of specifying them
with command flags. (You can still override them as needed for other
rclone commands.)

Case sensitivity

Synching with case-insensitive filesystems, such as Windows or Box, can
result in file name conflicts. This will be fixed in a future release.
The near-term workaround is to make sure that files on both sides don't
have spelling case differences (Smile.jpg vs. smile.jpg).

Windows support

Bisync has been tested on Windows 8.1, Windows 10 Pro 64-bit and on
Windows GitHub runners.

Drive letters are allowed, including drive letters mapped to network
drives (rclone bisync J:\localsync GDrive:). If a drive letter is
omitted, the shell current drive is the default. Drive letters are a
single character follows by :, so cloud names must be more than one
character long.

Absolute paths (with or without a drive letter), and relative paths
(with or without a drive letter) are supported.

Working directory is created at
C:\Users\MyLogin\AppData\Local\rclone\bisync.

Note that bisync output may show a mix of forward / and back \ slashes.

Be careful of case independent directory and file naming on Windows vs.
case dependent Linux

Filtering

See filtering documentation for how filter rules are written and
interpreted.

Bisync's --filters-file flag slightly extends the rclone's --filter-from
filtering mechanism. For a given bisync run you may provide only one
--filters-file. The --include*, --exclude*, and --filter flags are also
supported.

How to filter directories

Filtering portions of the directory tree is a critical feature for
synching.

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
C:\Users\MyLogin\AppData\ tree. - Directory trees containing files that
are large, less important, or are getting thrashed continuously by
ongoing processes.

On the other hand, there may be only select directories that you
actually want to sync, and exclude all others. See the Example
include-style filters for Windows user directories below.

Filters file writing guidelines

1.  Begin with excluding directory trees:
    -   e.g. `- /AppData/`
    -   ** on the end is not necessary. Once a given directory level is
        excluded then everything beneath it won't be looked at by
        rclone.
    -   Exclude such directories that are unneeded, are big, dynamically
        thrashed, or where there may be access permission issues.
    -   Excluding such dirs first will make rclone operations (much)
        faster.
    -   Specific files may also be excluded, as with the Dropbox
        exclusions example below.
2.  Decide if it's easier (or cleaner) to:
    -   Include select directories and therefore exclude everything else
        -- or --
    -   Exclude select directories and therefore include everything else
3.  Include select directories:
    -   Add lines like: `+ /Documents/PersonalFiles/**` to select which
        directories to include in the sync.
    -   ** on the end specifies to include the full depth of the
        specified tree.
    -   With Include-style filters, files at the Path1/Path2 root are
        not included. They may be included with `+ /*`.
    -   Place RCLONE_TEST files within these included directory trees.
        They will only be looked for in these directory trees.
    -   Finish by excluding everything else by adding `- **` at the end
        of the filters file.
    -   Disregard step 4.
4.  Exclude select directories:
    -   Add more lines like in step 1. For example:
        -/Desktop/tempfiles/, or `- /testdir/.    Again, a**` on the end
        is not necessary.
    -   Do not add a `- **` in the file. Without this line, everything
        will be included that has not been explicitly excluded.
    -   Disregard step 3.

A few rules for the syntax of a filter file expanding on filtering
documentation:

-   Lines may start with spaces and tabs - rclone strips leading
    whitespace.
-   If the first non-whitespace character is a # then the line is a
    comment and will be ignored.
-   Blank lines are ignored.
-   The first non-whitespace character on a filter line must be a + or
    -.
-   Exactly 1 space is allowed between the +/- and the path term.
-   Only forward slashes (/) are used in path terms, even on Windows.
-   The rest of the line is taken as the path term. Trailing whitespace
    is taken literally, and probably is an error.

Example include-style filters for Windows user directories

This Windows include-style example is based on the sync root (Path1) set
to C:\Users\MyLogin. The strategy is to select specific directories to
be synched with a network drive (Path2).

-   `- /AppData/` excludes an entire tree of Windows stored stuff that
    need not be synched. In my case, AppData has >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.
-   Windows creates cache files starting with both upper and lowercase
    NTUSER at C:\Users\MyLogin. These files may be dynamic, locked, and
    are generally don't care.
-   There are just a few directories with my data that I do want
    synched, in the form of `+
    /. By selecting only the directory trees I   want to avoid the dozen plus directories that various apps make   atC:`.
-   Include files in the root of the sync point, C:\Users\MyLogin, by
    adding the `+ /*` line.
-   This is an Include-style filters file, therefore it ends with `- **`
    which excludes everything not explicitly included.

    - /AppData/
    - NTUSER*
    - ntuser*
    + /Documents/Family/**
    + /Documents/Sketchup/**
    + /Documents/Microcapture_Photo/**
    + /Documents/Microcapture_Video/**
    + /Desktop/**
    + /Pictures/**
    + /*
    - **

Note also that Windows implements several "library" links such as
C:\Users\MyLogin\My Documents\My Music pointing to
C:\Users\MyLogin\Music. rclone sees these as links, so you must add
--links 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 --links flag, but then you get lots of
Can't follow symlink… noise from rclone about not following the links.
This noise can be quashed by adding --quiet to the bisync command line.

Example exclude-style filters files for use with Dropbox

-   Dropbox disallows synching the listed temporary and
    configuration/data files. The `- ` 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.
-   bisync testing creates /testdir/ at the top level of the sync tree,
    and usually deletes the tree after the test. If a normal sync should
    run while the /testdir/ tree exists the --check-access phase may
    fail due to unbalanced RCLONE_TEST files. The `- /testdir/` filter
    blocks this tree from being synched. You don't need this exclusion
    if you are not doing bisync development testing.
-   Everything else beneath the Path1/Path2 root will be synched.
-   RCLONE_TEST files may be placed anywhere within the tree, including
    the root.

How --check-access handles filters

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

Troubleshooting

Reading bisync logs

Here are two normal runs. The first one has a newer file on the remote.
The second has no deltas between local and remote.

    2021/05/16 00:36:52 INFO  : Bisync successful

Dry run oddity

The --dry-run 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 --dry-run
enabled those copies don't happen, which leads to the attempted delete
on Path2, blocked again by --dry-run: ... Not deleting as --dry-run.

This whole confusing situation is an artifact of the --dry-run 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.

Retries

Rclone has built-in retries. If you run with --verbose 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 Bisync successful and not
Bisync critical error or Bisync aborted then the run was successful, and
you can ignore the error messages.

The following run shows an intermittent fail. Lines 5 and _6- are
low-level messages. Line 6 is a bubbled-up warning message, conveying
the error. Rclone normally retries failing commands, so there may be
numerous such messages in the log.

Since there are no final error/warning messages on line 7, rclone has
recovered from failure after a retry, and the overall sync was
successful.

Denied downloads of "infected" or "abusive" files

Google Drive has a filter for certain file types (.exe, .apk, et cetera)
that by default cannot be copied from Google Drive to the local
filesystem. If you are having problems, run with --verbose to see
specifically which files are generating complaints. If the error is
This file has been identified as malware or spam and cannot be downloaded,
consider using the flag --drive-acknowledge-abuse.

Google Doc files

Google docs exist as virtual files on Google Drive and cannot be
transferred to other filesystems natively. While it is possible to
export a Google doc to a normal file (with .xlsx extension, for
example), it is not possible to import a normal file back into a Google
document.

Bisync's handling of Google Doc files is to flag them in the run log
output for user's attention and ignore them for any file transfers,
deletes, or syncs. They will show up with a length of -1 in the
listings. This bisync run is otherwise successful:

Usage examples

Cron

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 Task Scheduler, on Linux you can use Cron which is
described below.

The 1st example runs a sync every 5 minutes between a local directory
and an OwnCloud server, with output logged to a runlog file:

    # 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

See crontab syntax for the details of crontab time interval expressions.

If you run rclone bisync 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 >>) and stderr (via 2>&1) to a log file.

    0 * * * * /path/to/rclone bisync /path/to/local/dropbox Dropbox: --check-access --filters-file /home/user/filters.txt >> /path/to/logs/dropbox-run.log 2>&1

Sharing an encrypted folder tree between hosts

bisync can keep a local folder in sync with a cloud service, but what if
you have some highly sensitive files to be synched?

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 crypt remote 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.

Linux server setup

-   /path/to/DBoxroot is the root of my local sync tree. There are
    numerous subdirectories.
-   /path/to/DBoxroot/crypt is the root subdirectory for files that are
    encrypted. This local directory target is setup as an rclone crypt
    remote named Dropcrypt:. See rclone.conf snippet below.
-   /path/to/my/unencrypted/files is the root of my sensitive files -
    not encrypted, not within the tree synched to Dropbox.
-   To sync my local unencrypted files with the encrypted Dropbox
    versions I manually run
    bisync /path/to/my/unencrypted/files DropCrypt:. This step could be
    bundled into a script to run before and after the full Dropbox tree
    sync in the last step, thus actively keeping the sensitive files in
    sync.
-   bisync /path/to/DBoxroot Dropbox: runs periodically via cron,
    keeping my full local sync tree in sync with Dropbox.

Windows notebook setup

-   The Dropbox client runs keeping the local tree
    C:\Users\MyLogin\Dropbox always in sync with Dropbox. I could have
    used rclone bisync instead.
-   A separate directory tree at C:\Users\MyLogin\Documents\DropLocal
    hosts the tree of unencrypted files/folders.
-   To sync my local unencrypted files with the encrypted Dropbox
    versions I manually run the following command:
    rclone bisync C:\Users\MyLogin\Documents\DropLocal Dropcrypt:.
-   The Dropbox client then syncs the changes with Dropbox.

rclone.conf snippet

    [Dropbox]
    type = dropbox
    ...

    [Dropcrypt]
    type = crypt
    remote = /path/to/DBoxroot/crypt          # on the Linux server
    remote = C:\Users\MyLogin\Dropbox\crypt   # on the Windows notebook
    filename_encryption = standard
    directory_name_encryption = true
    password = ...
    ...

Testing

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.

Bisync has a dedicated test framework implemented in the bisync_test.go
file located in the rclone source tree. The test suite is based on the
go test command. Series of tests are stored in subdirectories below the
cmd/bisync/testdata directory. Individual tests can be invoked by their
directory name, e.g.
go test . -case basic -remote local -remote2 gdrive: -v

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.

Test command syntax

    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

Note: unlike rclone flags which must be prefixed by double dash (--),
the test command flags can be equally prefixed by a single - or double
dash.

Running tests

-   go test . -case basic -remote local -remote2 local runs the
    test_basic 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 .../workdir/test.log file, which is finally compared to
    the golden copy.
-   The first argument after go test should be a relative name of the
    directory containing bisync source code. If you run tests right from
    there, the argument will be . (current directory) as in most
    examples below. If you run bisync tests from the rclone source
    directory, the command should be go test ./cmd/bisync ....
-   The test engine will mangle rclone output to ensure comparability
    with golden listings and logs.
-   Test scenarios are located in ./cmd/bisync/testdata. The test -case
    argument should match the full name of a subdirectory under that
    directory. Every test subdirectory name on disk must start with
    test_, this prefix can be omitted on command line for brevity. Also,
    underscores in the name can be replaced by dashes for convenience.
-   go test . -remote local -remote2 local -case all runs all tests.
-   Path1 and Path2 may either be the keyword local or may be names of
    configured cloud services.
    go test . -remote gdrive: -remote2 dropbox: -case basic will run the
    test between these two services, without transferring any files to
    the local filesystem.
-   Test run stdout and stderr console output may be directed to a file,
    e.g.
    go test . -remote gdrive: -remote2 local -case all > runlog.txt 2>&1

Test execution flow

1.  The base setup in the initial 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).
2.  The commands in the scenario.txt file are applied, with output
    directed to the test.log file in the test working directory.
    Typically, the first actual command in the scenario.txt file is to
    do a --resync, which establishes the baseline {...}.path1.lst and
    {...}.path2.lst files in the test working directory (.../workdir/
    relative to the temporary test directory). Various commands and
    listing snapshots are done within the test.
3.  Finally, the contents of the test working directory are compared to
    the contents of the testcase's golden directory.

Notes about testing

-   Test cases are in individual directories beneath
    ./cmd/bisync/testdata. A command line reference to a test is
    understood to reference a directory beneath testdata. For example,
    go test ./cmd/bisync -case dry-run -remote gdrive: -remote2 local
    refers to the test case in ./cmd/bisync/testdata/test_dry_run.
-   The test working directory is located at .../workdir relative to a
    temporary test directory, usually under /tmp on Linux.
-   The local test sync tree is created at a temporary directory named
    like bisync.XXX under system temporary directory.
-   The remote test sync tree is located at a temporary directory under
    <remote:>/bisync.XXX/.
-   path1 and/or path2 subdirectories are created in a temporary
    directory under the respective local or cloud test remote.
-   By default, the Path1 and Path2 test dirs and workdir will be
    deleted after each test run. The -no-cleanup flag disables purging
    these directories when validating and debugging a given test. These
    directories will be flushed before running another test, independent
    of the -no-cleanup usage.
-   You will likely want to add `-
    /testdir/to your normal   bisync--filters-fileso that normal syncs do not attempt to sync   the test temporary directories, which may haveRCLONE_TESTmiscompares   in some testcases which would otherwise trip the--check-accesssystem.   The--check-accessmechanism is hard-coded to ignoreRCLONE_TESTfiles beneathbisync/testdata`,
    so the test cases may reside on the synched tree even if there are
    check file mismatches in the test tree.
-   Some Dropbox tests can fail, notably printing the following message:
    src and dst identical but can't set mod time without deleting and re-uploading
    This is expected and happens due to the way Dropbox handles
    modification times. You should use the -refresh-times test flag to
    make up for this.
-   If Dropbox tests hit request limit for you and print error message
    too_many_requests/...: Too many requests or write operations. then
    follow the Dropbox App ID instructions.

Updating golden results

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.

The -golden flag will store the test.log and *.lst 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.

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 go test ./cmd/bisync -remote local 4. If some tests
show log difference, recheck them individually, e.g.:
go test ./cmd/bisync -remote local -case basic 5. If you are convinced
with the difference, goldenize all tests at once:
go test ./cmd/bisync -remote local -golden 6. Use word diff:
git diff --word-diff ./cmd/bisync/testdata/. Please note that normal
line-level diff is generally useless here. 7. Check the difference
carefully! 8. Commit the change (git commit) only if you are sure. If
unsure, save your code changes then wipe the log diffs from git:
git reset [--hard].

Structure of test scenarios

-   <testname>/initial/ contains a tree of files that will be set as the
    initial condition on both Path1 and Path2 testdirs.
-   <testname>/modfiles/ contains files that will be used to modify the
    Path1 and/or Path2 filesystems.
-   <testname>/golden/ contains the expected content of the test working
    directory (workdir) at the completion of the testcase.
-   <testname>/scenario.txt 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
    .../workdir/test.log for comparison to the golden files.

Supported test commands

-   test <some message> Print the line to the console and to the
    test.log: test sync is working correctly with options x, y, z
-   copy-listings <prefix> Save a copy of all .lst listings in the test
    working directory with the specified prefix:
    save-listings exclude-pass-run
-   move-listings <prefix> Similar to copy-listings but removes the
    source
-   purge-children <dir> 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.
-   delete-file <file> Delete a single file.
-   delete-glob <dir> <pattern> Delete a group of files located one
    level deep in the given directory with names matching a given glob
    pattern.
-   touch-glob YYYY-MM-DD <dir> <pattern> Change modification time on a
    group of files.
-   touch-copy YYYY-MM-DD <source-file> <dest-dir> Change file
    modification time then copy it to destination.
-   copy-file <source-file> <dest-dir> Copy a single file to given
    directory.
-   copy-as <source-file> <dest-file> Similar to above but destination
    must include both directory and the new file name at destination.
-   copy-dir <src> <dst> and sync-dir <src> <dst> Copy/sync a directory.
    Equivalent of rclone copy and rclone sync.
-   list-dirs <dir> Equivalent to rclone lsf -R --dirs-only <dir>
-   bisync [options] Runs bisync against -remote and -remote2.

Supported substitution terms

-   {testdir/} - the root dir of the testcase
-   {datadir/} - the modfiles dir under the testcase root
-   {workdir/} - the temporary test working directory
-   {path1/} - the root of the Path1 test directory tree
-   {path2/} - the root of the Path2 test directory tree
-   {session} - base name of the test listings
-   {/} - OS-specific path separator
-   {spc}, {tab}, {eol} - whitespace
-   {chr:HH} - raw byte with given hexadecimal code

Substitution results of the terms named like {dir/} will end with / (or
backslash on Windows), so it is not necessary to include slash in the
usage, for example delete-file {path1/}file1.txt.

Benchmarks

This section is work in progress.

Here are a few data points for scale, execution times, and memory usage.

The first set of data was taken between a local disk to Dropbox. The
speedtest.net download speed was ~170 Mbps, and upload speed was ~10
Mbps. 500 files (~9.5 MB each) had been already synched. 50 files were
added in a new directory, each ~9.5 MB, ~475 MB total.

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------

                           deletes up: 9 sec                   

  Moved remote dir         Queued 50 copies down: 31 sec, 50   33 sec
                           deletes down: <1 sec                

  Delete local dir         Queued 50 deletes up: 9 sec         13 sec
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------

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).

-   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.
-   Getting a fresh listing of the local file system (producing the 140
    MB output file) took about XXX sec.
-   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.
-   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.

References

rclone's bisync implementation was derived from the rclonesync-V2
project, including documentation and test mechanisms, with
[@cjnaz](https://github.com/cjnaz)'s full support and encouragement.

rclone bisync is similar in nature to a range of other projects:

-   unison
-   syncthing
-   cjnaz/rclonesync
-   ConorWilliams/rsinc
-   jwink3101/syncrclone
-   DavideRossi/upback

Bisync adopts the differential synchronization technique, which is based
on keeping history of changes performed by both synchronizing sides. See
the Dual Shadow Method section in Neil Fraser's article.

Also note a number of academic publications by Benjamin Pierce about
Unison and synchronization in general.

Release signing

The hashes of the binary artefacts of the rclone release are signed with
a public PGP/GPG key. This can be verified manually as described below.

The same mechanism is also used by rclone selfupdate to verify that the
release has not been tampered with before the new update is installed.
This checks the SHA256 hash and the signature with a public key compiled
into the rclone binary.

Release signing key

You may obtain the release signing key from:

-   From KEYS on this website - this file contains all past signing keys
    also.
-   The git repository hosted on GitHub -
    https://github.com/rclone/rclone/blob/master/docs/content/KEYS
-   gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --search nick@craig-wood.com
-   gpg --keyserver hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com --search nick@craig-wood.com
-   https://www.craig-wood.com/nick/pub/pgp-key.txt

After importing the key, verify that the fingerprint of one of the keys
matches: FBF737ECE9F8AB18604BD2AC93935E02FF3B54FA as this key is used
for signing.

We recommend that you cross-check the fingerprint shown above through
the domains listed below. By cross-checking the integrity of the
fingerprint across multiple domains you can be confident that you
obtained the correct key.

-   The source for this page on GitHub.
-   Through DNS dig key.rclone.org txt

If you find anything that doesn't not match, please contact the
developers at once.

How to verify the release

In the release directory you will see the release files and some files
called MD5SUMS, SHA1SUMS and SHA256SUMS.

    $ rclone lsf --http-url https://downloads.rclone.org/v1.63.1 :http:
    MD5SUMS
    SHA1SUMS
    SHA256SUMS
    rclone-v1.63.1-freebsd-386.zip
    rclone-v1.63.1-freebsd-amd64.zip
    ...
    rclone-v1.63.1-windows-arm64.zip
    rclone-v1.63.1.tar.gz
    version.txt

The MD5SUMS, SHA1SUMS and SHA256SUMS contain hashes of the binary files
in the release directory along with a signature.

For example:

    $ rclone cat --http-url https://downloads.rclone.org/v1.63.1 :http:SHA256SUMS
    -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
    Hash: SHA1

Download the files

The first step is to download the binary and SUMs file and verify that
the SUMs you have downloaded match. Here we download
rclone-v1.63.1-windows-amd64.zip - choose the binary (or binaries)
appropriate to your architecture. We've also chosen the SHA256SUMS as
these are the most secure. You could verify the other types of hash also
for extra security. rclone selfupdate verifies just the SHA256SUMS.

    $ mkdir /tmp/check
    $ cd /tmp/check
    $ rclone copy --http-url https://downloads.rclone.org/v1.63.1 :http:SHA256SUMS .
    $ rclone copy --http-url https://downloads.rclone.org/v1.63.1 :http:rclone-v1.63.1-windows-amd64.zip .

Verify the signatures

First verify the signatures on the SHA256 file.

Import the key. See above for ways to verify this key is correct.

    $ gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --receive-keys FBF737ECE9F8AB18604BD2AC93935E02FF3B54FA
    gpg: key 93935E02FF3B54FA: public key "Nick Craig-Wood <nick@craig-wood.com>" imported
    gpg: Total number processed: 1
    gpg:               imported: 1

Then check the signature:

    $ gpg --verify SHA256SUMS 
    gpg: Signature made Mon 17 Jul 2023 15:03:17 BST
    gpg:                using DSA key FBF737ECE9F8AB18604BD2AC93935E02FF3B54FA
    gpg: Good signature from "Nick Craig-Wood <nick@craig-wood.com>" [ultimate]

Verify the signature was good and is using the fingerprint shown above.

Repeat for MD5SUMS and SHA1SUMS if desired.

Verify the hashes

Now that we know the signatures on the hashes are OK we can verify the
binaries match the hashes, completing the verification.

    $ sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS 2>&1 | grep OK
    rclone-v1.63.1-windows-amd64.zip: OK

Or do the check with rclone

    $ rclone hashsum sha256 -C SHA256SUMS rclone-v1.63.1-windows-amd64.zip 
    2023/09/11 10:53:58 NOTICE: SHA256SUMS: improperly formatted checksum line 0

Verify signatures and hashes together

You can verify the signatures and hashes in one command line like this:

    $ gpg --decrypt SHA256SUMS | sha256sum -c --ignore-missing
    gpg: Signature made Mon 17 Jul 2023 15:03:17 BST

1Fichier

This is a backend for the 1fichier cloud storage service. Note that a
Premium subscription is required to use the API.

Paths are specified as remote:path

Paths may be as deep as required, e.g. remote:directory/subdirectory.

Configuration

The initial setup for 1Fichier involves getting the API key from the
website which you need to do in your browser.

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:

    No remotes found, make a new one?
    n) New remote
    s) Set configuration password
    q) Quit config
    n/s/q> n
    name> remote
    Type of storage to configure.
    Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default ("").
    Choose a number from below, or type in your own value
    [snip]
    XX / 1Fichier
       \ "fichier"
    [snip]
    Storage> fichier
    ** See help for fichier backend at: https://rclone.org/fichier/ **

    Your API Key, get it from https://1fichier.com/console/params.pl
    Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default ("").
    api_key> example_key

    Edit advanced config? (y/n)
    y) Yes
    n) No
    y/n> 
    Remote config
    --------------------
    [remote]
    type = fichier
    api_key = example_key
    --------------------
    y) Yes this is OK
    e) Edit this remote
    d) Delete this remote
    y/e/d> y

Once configured you can then use rclone like this,

List directories in top level of your 1Fichier account

    rclone lsd remote:

List all the files in your 1Fichier account

    rclone ls remote:

To copy a local directory to a 1Fichier directory called backup

    rclone copy /home/source remote:backup

Modified time and hashes

1Fichier does not support modification times. It supports the Whirlpool
hash algorithm.

Duplicated files

1Fichier can have two files with exactly the same name and path (unlike
a normal file system).

Duplicated files cause problems with the syncing and you will see
messages in the log about duplicates.

Restricted filename characters

In addition to the default restricted characters set the following
characters are also replaced:

  Character    Value   Replacement
  ----------- ------- -------------
  \            0x5C        ＼
  <            0x3C        ＜
  >            0x3E        ＞
  "            0x22        ＂
  $            0x24        ＄
  `            0x60        ｀
  '            0x27        ＇

File names can also not start or end with the following characters.
These only get replaced if they are the first or last character in the
name:

  Character    Value   Replacement
  ----------- ------- -------------
  SP           0x20         ␠

Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be replaced, as they can't be used in JSON
strings.

Limitations

rclone about is not supported by the 1Fichier backend. Backends without
this capability cannot determine free space for an rclone mount or use
policy mfs (most free space) as a member of an rclone union remote.

See List of backends that do not support rclone about and rclone about

Alias

The alias remote provides a new name for another remote.

Paths may be as deep as required or a local path, e.g.
remote:directory/subdirectory or /directory/subdirectory.

During the initial setup with rclone config you will specify the target
remote. The target remote can either be a local path or another remote.

Subfolders can be used in target remote. Assume an alias remote named
backup with the target mydrive:private/backup. Invoking
rclone mkdir backup:desktop is exactly the same as invoking
rclone mkdir mydrive:private/backup/desktop.

There will be no special handling of paths containing .. segments.
Invoking rclone mkdir backup:../desktop is exactly the same as invoking
rclone mkdir mydrive:private/backup/../desktop. The empty path is not
allowed as a remote. To alias the current directory use . instead.

The target remote can also be a connection string. This can be used to
modify the config of a remote for different uses, e.g. the alias
myDriveTrash with the target remote myDrive,trashed_only: can be used to
only show the trashed files in myDrive.

Configuration

Here is an example of how to make an alias called remote for local
folder. First run:

     rclone config

This will guide you through an interactive setup process:

    No remotes found, make a new one?
    n) New remote
    s) Set configuration password
    q) Quit config
    n/s/q> n

    r) Rename remote
    c) Copy remote
    s) Set configuration password
    q) Quit config

Once configured you can then use rclone like this,

List directories in top level in /mnt/storage/backup

    rclone lsd remote:

List all the files in /mnt/storage/backup

    rclone ls remote:

Copy another local directory to the alias directory called source

    rclone copy /home/source remote:source

Standard options

Here are the Standard options specific to alias (Alias for an existing
remote).

--alias-remote

Remote or path to alias.

Can be "myremote:path/to/dir", "myremote:bucket", "myremote:" or

-   Env Var: RCLONE_ALIAS_REMOTE
-   Type: string
-   Required: true

Amazon Drive

Amazon Drive, formerly known as Amazon Cloud Drive, is a cloud storage
service run by Amazon for consumers.

Status

Important: rclone supports Amazon Drive only if you have your own set of
API keys. Unfortunately the Amazon Drive developer program is now closed
to new entries so if you don't already have your own set of keys you
will not be able to use rclone with Amazon Drive.

For the history on why rclone no longer has a set of Amazon Drive API
keys see the forum.

If you happen to know anyone who works at Amazon then please ask them to
re-instate rclone into the Amazon Drive developer program - thanks!

Configuration

The initial setup for Amazon Drive involves getting a token from Amazon
which you need to do in your browser. rclone config walks you through
it.

The configuration process for Amazon Drive may involve using an oauth
proxy. This is used to keep the Amazon credentials out of the source
code. The proxy runs in Google's very secure App Engine environment and
doesn't store any credentials which pass through it.

Since rclone doesn't currently have its own Amazon Drive credentials so
you will either need to have your own client_id and client_secret with
Amazon Drive, or use a third-party oauth proxy in which case you will
need to enter client_id, client_secret, auth_url and token_url.

Note also if you are not using Amazon's auth_url and token_url, (ie you
filled in something for those) then if setting up on a remote machine
you can only use the copying the config method of configuration -
rclone authorize will not work.

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:

    No remotes found, make a new one?
    n) New remote
    r) Rename remote
    c) Copy remote
    s) Set configuration password
    q) Quit config
    n/r/c/s/q> n
    name> remote
    Type of storage to configure.
    Choose a number from below, or type in your own value

    Make sure your Redirect URL is set to "http://127.0.0.1:53682/" in your custom config.
    Use web browser to automatically authenticate rclone with remote?
     * Say Y if the machine running rclone has a web browser you can use
     * Say N if running rclone on a (remote) machine without web browser access
    If not sure try Y. If Y failed, try N.
    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
    Waiting for code...
    Got code
    --------------------
    [remote]
    client_id = your client ID goes here
    client_secret = your client secret goes here
    auth_url = Optional auth URL
    token_url = Optional token URL
    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

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 Drive

    rclone lsd remote:

List all the files in your Amazon Drive

    rclone ls remote:

To copy a local directory to an Amazon Drive directory called backup

    rclone copy /home/source remote:backup

Modified time and MD5SUMs

Amazon 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.

Restricted filename characters

  Character    Value   Replacement
  ----------- ------- -------------
  NUL          0x00         ␀
  /            0x2F        ／

Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be replaced, as they can't be used in JSON
strings.

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
Drive website. As of November 17, 2016, files are automatically deleted
by Amazon from the trash after 30 days.

Using with non .com Amazon accounts

Let's say you usually use amazon.co.uk. When you authenticate with
rclone it will take you to an amazon.com page to log in. Your
amazon.co.uk email and password should work here just fine.

Standard options

Here are the Standard options specific to amazon cloud drive (Amazon
Drive).

--acd-client-id

OAuth Client Id.

Leave blank normally.

Properties:

-   Config: client_id
-   Env Var: RCLONE_ACD_CLIENT_ID
-   Type: string
-   Required: false

--acd-client-secret

OAuth Client Secret.

Leave blank normally.

Properties:

-   Config: client_secret
-   Env Var: RCLONE_ACD_CLIENT_SECRET
-   Type: string
-   Required: false

Advanced options

Here are the Advanced options specific to amazon cloud drive (Amazon
Drive).

--acd-token

OAuth Access Token as a JSON blob.

Properties:

-   Config: token
-   Env Var: RCLONE_ACD_TOKEN
-   Type: string
-   Required: false

--acd-auth-url

Auth server URL.

Leave blank to use the provider defaults.

Properties:

-   Config: auth_url
-   Env Var: RCLONE_ACD_AUTH_URL
-   Type: string
-   Required: false

--acd-token-url

Token server url.

Leave blank to use the provider defaults.

Properties:

-   Config: token_url
-   Env Var: RCLONE_ACD_TOKEN_URL
-   Type: string
-   Required: false

--acd-checkpoint

Checkpoint for internal polling (debug).

Properties:

-   Config: checkpoint
-   Env Var: RCLONE_ACD_CHECKPOINT
-   Type: string
-   Required: false

--acd-upload-wait-per-gb

Additional time per GiB to wait after a failed complete upload to see if
it appears.

Sometimes Amazon Drive gives an error when a file has been fully
uploaded but the file appears anyway after a little while. This happens
sometimes for files over 1 GiB in size and nearly every time for files
bigger than 10 GiB. This parameter controls the time rclone waits for
the file to appear.

The default value for this parameter is 3 minutes per GiB, so by default
it will wait 3 minutes for every GiB uploaded to see if the file
appears.

You can disable this feature by setting it to 0. This may cause conflict
errors as rclone retries the failed upload but the file will most likely
appear correctly eventually.

These values were determined empirically by observing lots of uploads of
big files for a range of file sizes.

Upload with the "-v" flag to see more info about what rclone is doing in
this situation.

Properties:

-   Config: upload_wait_per_gb
-   Env Var: RCLONE_ACD_UPLOAD_WAIT_PER_GB
-   Type: Duration
-   Default: 3m0s

--acd-templink-threshold

Files >= this size will be downloaded via their tempLink.

Files this size or more will be downloaded via their "tempLink". This is
to work around a problem with Amazon Drive which blocks downloads of
files bigger than about 10 GiB. The default for this is 9 GiB 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.

Properties:

-   Config: templink_threshold
-   Env Var: RCLONE_ACD_TEMPLINK_THRESHOLD
-   Type: SizeSuffix
-   Default: 9Gi

--acd-encoding

The encoding for the backend.

See the encoding section in the overview for more info.

Properties:

-   Config: encoding
-   Env Var: RCLONE_ACD_ENCODING
-   Type: MultiEncoder
-   Default: Slash,InvalidUtf8,Dot

Limitations

Note that Amazon Drive is case insensitive so you can't have a file
called "Hello.doc" and one called "hello.doc".

Amazon 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 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 50 GiB per file.
This means that larger files are likely to fail.

Unfortunately 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 50000M option to limit
the maximum size of uploaded files. Note that --max-size does not split
files into segments, it only ignores files over this size.

rclone about is not supported by the Amazon Drive backend. Backends
without this capability cannot determine free space for an rclone mount
or use policy mfs (most free space) as a member of an rclone union
remote.

See List of backends that do not support rclone about and rclone about

Amazon S3 Storage Providers

The S3 backend can be used with a number of different providers:

-   AWS S3

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.

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.

Note that reading this from the object takes an additional HEAD request
as the metadata isn't returned in object listings.

Reducing costs

Avoiding HEAD requests to read the modification time

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).

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.

The extra API calls can be avoided when syncing (using rclone sync or
rclone copy) in a few different ways, each with its own tradeoffs.

-   --size-only
    -   Only checks the size of files.
    -   Uses no extra transactions.
    -   If the file doesn't change size then rclone won't detect it has
        changed.
    -   rclone sync --size-only /path/to/source s3:bucket
-   --checksum
    -   Checks the size and MD5 checksum of files.
    -   Uses no extra transactions.
    -   The most accurate detection of changes possible.
    -   Will cause the source to read an MD5 checksum which, if it is a
        local disk, will cause lots of disk activity.
    -   If the source and destination are both S3 this is the
        recommended flag to use for maximum efficiency.
    -   rclone sync --checksum /path/to/source s3:bucket
-   --update --use-server-modtime
    -   Uses no extra transactions.
    -   Modification time becomes the time the object was uploaded.
    -   For many operations this is sufficient to determine if it needs
        uploading.
    -   Using --update along with --use-server-modtime, avoids the extra
        API call and uploads files whose local modification time is
        newer than the time it was last uploaded.
    -   Files created with timestamps in the past will be missed by the
        sync.
    -   rclone sync --update --use-server-modtime /path/to/source s3:bucket

These flags can and should be used in combination with --fast-list - see
below.

If using rclone mount or any command using the VFS (eg rclone serve)
commands then you might want to consider using the VFS flag --no-modtime
which will stop rclone reading the modification time for every object.
You could also use --use-server-modtime if you are happy with the
modification times of the objects being the time of upload.

Avoiding GET requests to read directory listings

Rclone's default directory traversal is to process each directory
individually. This takes one API call per directory. Using the
--fast-list flag will read all info about the objects into memory first
using a smaller number of API calls (one per 1000 objects). See the
rclone docs for more details.

    rclone sync --fast-list --checksum /path/to/source s3:bucket

--fast-list trades off API transactions for memory use. As a rough guide
rclone uses 1k of memory per object stored, so using --fast-list on a
sync of a million objects will use roughly 1 GiB of RAM.

If you are only copying a small number of files into a big repository
then using --no-traverse is a good idea. This finds objects directly
instead of through directory listings. You can do a "top-up" sync very
cheaply by using --max-age and --no-traverse to copy only recent files,
eg

    rclone copy --max-age 24h --no-traverse /path/to/source s3:bucket

You'd then do a full rclone sync less often.

Note that --fast-list isn't required in the top-up sync.

Avoiding HEAD requests after PUT

By default, rclone will HEAD every object it uploads. It does this to
check the object got uploaded correctly.

You can disable this with the --s3-no-head option - see there for more
details.

Setting this flag increases the chance for undetected upload failures.

Hashes

For small objects which weren't uploaded as multipart uploads (objects
sized below --s3-upload-cutoff if uploaded with rclone) rclone uses the
ETag: header as an MD5 checksum.

However for objects which were uploaded as multipart uploads or with
server side encryption (SSE-AWS or SSE-C) the ETag header is no longer
the MD5 sum of the data, so rclone adds an additional piece of metadata
X-Amz-Meta-Md5chksum which is a base64 encoded MD5 hash (in the same
format as is required for Content-MD5). You can use base64 -d and
hexdump to check this value manually:

    echo 'VWTGdNx3LyXQDfA0e2Edxw==' | base64 -d | hexdump

or you can use rclone check to verify the hashes are OK.

For large objects, calculating this hash can take some time so the
addition of this hash can be disabled with --s3-disable-checksum. This
will mean that these objects do not have an MD5 checksum.

Note that reading this from the object takes an additional HEAD request
as the metadata isn't returned in object listings.

Versions

When bucket versioning is enabled (this can be done with rclone with the
rclone backend versioning command) 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 be marked hidden and still be available.

Old versions of files, where available, are visible using the
--s3-versions flag.

It is also possible to view a bucket as it was at a certain point in
time, using the --s3-version-at 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.

If you wish to remove all the old versions then you can use the
rclone backend cleanup-hidden remote:bucket 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. rclone backend cleanup-hidden remote:bucket/path/to/stuff.

When you purge a bucket, the current and the old versions will be
deleted then the bucket will be deleted.

However delete will cause the current versions of the files to become
hidden old versions.

Here is a session showing the listing and retrieval of an old version
followed by a cleanup of the old versions.

Show current version and all the versions with --s3-versions flag.

    $ 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

Retrieve an old version

    $ 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

Clean up all the old versions and show that they've gone.

    $ 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

Versions naming caveat

When using --s3-versions 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.

            9 file.txt
            8 file-v2023-07-17-161032-000.txt
           16 file-v2023-06-15-141003-000.txt

If there are real files present with the same names as versions, then
behaviour of --s3-versions can be unpredictable.

Cleanup

If you run rclone cleanup s3:bucket then it will remove all pending
multipart uploads older than 24 hours. You can use the --interactive/i
or --dry-run flag to see exactly what it will do. If you want more
control over the expiry date then run
rclone backend cleanup s3:bucket -o max-age=1h to expire all uploads
older than one hour. You can use
rclone backend list-multipart-uploads s3:bucket to see the pending
multipart uploads.

Restricted filename characters

S3 allows any valid UTF-8 string as a key.

Invalid UTF-8 bytes will be replaced, as they can't be used in XML.

The following characters are replaced since these are problematic when
dealing with the REST API:

  Character    Value   Replacement
  ----------- ------- -------------
  NUL          0x00         ␀
  /            0x2F        ／

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

  File name    Replacement
  ----------- -------------
  .                ．
  ..              ．．

Multipart uploads

rclone supports multipart uploads with S3 which means that it can upload
files bigger than 5 GiB.

Note that files uploaded both with multipart upload and through crypt
remotes do not have MD5 sums.

rclone switches from single part uploads to multipart uploads at the
point specified by --s3-upload-cutoff. This can be a maximum of 5 GiB
and a minimum of 0 (ie always upload multipart files).

The chunk sizes used in the multipart upload are specified by
--s3-chunk-size and the number of chunks uploaded concurrently is
specified by --s3-upload-concurrency.

Multipart uploads will use --transfers * --s3-upload-concurrency *
--s3-chunk-size extra memory. Single part uploads to not use extra
memory.

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.

Increasing --s3-upload-concurrency will increase throughput (8 would be
a sensible value) and increasing --s3-chunk-size 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.

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 a number of ways to supply rclone with a set of AWS
credentials, with and without using the environment.

The different authentication methods are tried in this order:

-   Directly in the rclone configuration file (env_auth = false in the
    config file):
    -   access_key_id and secret_access_key are required.
    -   session_token can be optionally set when using AWS STS.
-   Runtime configuration (env_auth = true in the config file):
    -   Export 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
        -   Session Token: AWS_SESSION_TOKEN (optional)
    -   Or, use a named profile:
        -   Profile files are standard files used by AWS CLI tools
        -   By default it will use the profile in your home directory
            (e.g. ~/.aws/credentials on unix based systems) file and the
            "default" profile, to change set these environment
            variables:
            -   AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE to control which file.
            -   AWS_PROFILE to control which profile to use.
    -   Or, run rclone in an ECS task with an IAM role (AWS only).
    -   Or, run rclone on an EC2 instance with an IAM role (AWS only).
    -   Or, run rclone in an EKS pod with an IAM role that is associated
        with a service account (AWS only).

If none of these option actually end up providing rclone with AWS
credentials then S3 interaction will be non-authenticated (see below).

S3 Permissions

When using the sync subcommand of rclone the following minimum
permissions are required to be available on the bucket being written to:

-   ListBucket
-   DeleteObject
-   GetObject
-   PutObject
-   PutObjectACL

When using the lsd subcommand, the ListAllMyBuckets permission is
required.

Example policy:

    {
        "Version": "2012-10-17",
        "Statement": [
            {
                "Effect": "Allow",
                "Principal": {
                    "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::USER_SID:user/USER_NAME"
                },
                "Action": [
                    "s3:ListBucket",
                    "s3:DeleteObject",
                    "s3:GetObject",
                    "s3:PutObject",
                    "s3:PutObjectAcl"
                ],
                "Resource": [
                  "arn:aws:s3:::BUCKET_NAME/*",
                  "arn:aws:s3:::BUCKET_NAME"
                ]
            },
            {
                "Effect": "Allow",
                "Action": "s3:ListAllMyBuckets",
                "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::*"
            }
        ]
    }

Notes on above:

1.  This is a policy that can be used when creating bucket. It assumes
    that USER_NAME has been created.
2.  The Resource entry must include both resource ARNs, as one implies
    the bucket and the other implies the bucket's objects.

For reference, here's an Ansible script that will generate one or more
buckets that will work with rclone sync.

Key Management System (KMS)

If you are using server-side encryption with KMS then you must make sure
rclone is configured with server_side_encryption = aws:kms otherwise you
will find you can't transfer small objects - these will create checksum
errors.

Glacier and Glacier Deep Archive

You can upload objects using the glacier storage class or transition
them to glacier using a lifecycle policy. 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.

    2017/09/11 19:07:43 Failed to sync: failed to open source object: Object in GLACIER, restore first: path/to/file

In this case you need to restore the object(s) in question before using
rclone.

Note that rclone only speaks the S3 API it does not speak the Glacier
Vault API, so rclone cannot directly access Glacier Vaults.

Object-lock enabled S3 bucket

According to AWS's documentation on S3 Object Lock:

  If you configure a default retention period on a bucket, requests to
  upload objects in such a bucket must include the Content-MD5 header.

As mentioned in the Hashes 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 --s3-upload-cutoff 0 and force all the files to
be uploaded as multipart.

-   Config: sse_customer_key
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_SSE_CUSTOMER_KEY
-   Provider: AWS,Ceph,ChinaMobile,Minio
-   Type: string
-   Required: false
-   Examples:
    -   ""
        -   None

--s3-sse-customer-key-base64

If using SSE-C you must provide the secret encryption key encoded in
base64 format to encrypt/decrypt your data.

Alternatively you can provide --sse-customer-key.

Properties:

-   Config: sse_customer_key_base64
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_SSE_CUSTOMER_KEY_BASE64
-   Provider: AWS,Ceph,ChinaMobile,Minio
-   Type: string
-   Required: false
-   Examples:
    -   ""
        -   None

--s3-sse-customer-key-md5

If using SSE-C you may provide the secret encryption key MD5 checksum
(optional).

If you leave it blank, this is calculated automatically from the
sse_customer_key provided.

Properties:

-   Config: sse_customer_key_md5
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_SSE_CUSTOMER_KEY_MD5
-   Provider: AWS,Ceph,ChinaMobile,Minio
-   Type: string
-   Required: false
-   Examples:
    -   ""
        -   None

--s3-upload-cutoff

Cutoff for switching to chunked upload.

Any files larger than this will be uploaded in chunks of chunk_size. The
minimum is 0 and the maximum is 5 GiB.

Properties:

-   Config: upload_cutoff
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_UPLOAD_CUTOFF
-   Type: SizeSuffix
-   Default: 200Mi

--s3-chunk-size

Chunk size to use for uploading.

When uploading files larger than upload_cutoff or files with unknown
size (e.g. from "rclone rcat" or uploaded with "rclone mount" or google
photos or google docs) they will be uploaded as multipart uploads using
this chunk size.

Note that "--s3-upload-concurrency" chunks of this size are buffered in
memory per transfer.

If you are transferring large files over high-speed links and you have
enough memory, then increasing this will speed up the transfers.

Rclone will automatically increase the chunk size when uploading a large
file of known size to stay below the 10,000 chunks limit.

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.

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.

Properties:

-   Config: chunk_size
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_CHUNK_SIZE
-   Type: SizeSuffix
-   Default: 5Mi

--s3-max-upload-parts

Maximum number of parts in a multipart upload.

This option defines the maximum number of multipart chunks to use when
doing a multipart upload.

This can be useful if a service does not support the AWS S3
specification of 10,000 chunks.

Rclone will automatically increase the chunk size when uploading a large
file of a known size to stay below this number of chunks limit.

Properties:

-   Config: max_upload_parts
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_MAX_UPLOAD_PARTS
-   Type: int
-   Default: 10000

--s3-copy-cutoff

Cutoff for switching to multipart copy.

Any files larger than this that need to be server-side copied will be
copied in chunks of this size.

The minimum is 0 and the maximum is 5 GiB.

Properties:

-   Config: copy_cutoff
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_COPY_CUTOFF
-   Type: SizeSuffix
-   Default: 4.656Gi

--s3-disable-checksum

Don't store MD5 checksum with object metadata.

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.

Properties:

-   Config: disable_checksum
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_DISABLE_CHECKSUM
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false

--s3-shared-credentials-file

Path to the shared credentials file.

If env_auth = true then rclone can use a shared credentials file.

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.

    Linux/OSX: "$HOME/.aws/credentials"
    Windows:   "%USERPROFILE%\.aws\credentials"

Properties:

-   Config: shared_credentials_file
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE
-   Type: string
-   Required: false

--s3-profile

Profile to use in the shared credentials file.

If env_auth = true then rclone can use a shared credentials file. This
variable controls which profile is used in that file.

If empty it will default to the environment variable "AWS_PROFILE" or
"default" if that environment variable is also not set.

Properties:

-   Config: profile
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_PROFILE
-   Type: string
-   Required: false

--s3-session-token

An AWS session token.

Properties:

-   Config: session_token
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_SESSION_TOKEN
-   Type: string
-   Required: false

--s3-upload-concurrency

Concurrency for multipart uploads.

This is the number of chunks of the same file that are uploaded
concurrently.

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.

Properties:

-   Config: upload_concurrency
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_UPLOAD_CONCURRENCY
-   Type: int
-   Default: 4

--s3-force-path-style

If true use path style access if false use virtual hosted style.

If this is true (the default) then rclone will use path style access, if
false then rclone will use virtual path style. See the AWS S3 docs for
more info.

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.

Properties:

-   Config: force_path_style
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_FORCE_PATH_STYLE
-   Type: bool
-   Default: true

--s3-v2-auth

If true use v2 authentication.

If this is false (the default) then rclone will use v4 authentication.
If it is set then rclone will use v2 authentication.

Use this only if v4 signatures don't work, e.g. pre Jewel/v10 CEPH.

Properties:

-   Config: v2_auth
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_V2_AUTH
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false

--s3-use-accelerate-endpoint

If true use the AWS S3 accelerated endpoint.

See: AWS S3 Transfer acceleration

Properties:

-   Config: use_accelerate_endpoint
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_USE_ACCELERATE_ENDPOINT
-   Provider: AWS
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false

--s3-leave-parts-on-error

If true avoid calling abort upload on a failure, leaving all
successfully uploaded parts on S3 for manual recovery.

It should be set to true for resuming uploads across different sessions.

WARNING: Storing parts of an incomplete multipart upload counts towards
space usage on S3 and will add additional costs if not cleaned up.

Properties:

-   Config: leave_parts_on_error
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_LEAVE_PARTS_ON_ERROR
-   Provider: AWS
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false

--s3-list-chunk

Size of listing chunk (response list for each ListObject S3 request).

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 AWS S3. In Ceph, this can be
increased with the "rgw list buckets max chunk" option.

Properties:

-   Config: list_chunk
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_LIST_CHUNK
-   Type: int
-   Default: 1000

--s3-list-version

Version of ListObjects to use: 1,2 or 0 for auto.

When S3 originally launched it only provided the ListObjects call to
enumerate objects in a bucket.

However in May 2016 the ListObjectsV2 call was introduced. This is much
higher performance and should be used if at all possible.

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.

Properties:

-   Config: list_version
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_LIST_VERSION
-   Type: int
-   Default: 0

--s3-list-url-encode

Whether to url encode listings: true/false/unset

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.

Properties:

-   Config: list_url_encode
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_LIST_URL_ENCODE
-   Type: Tristate
-   Default: unset

--s3-no-check-bucket

If set, don't attempt to check the bucket exists or create it.

This can be useful when trying to minimise the number of transactions
rclone does if you know the bucket exists already.

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.

Properties:

-   Config: no_check_bucket
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_NO_CHECK_BUCKET
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false

--s3-no-head

If set, don't HEAD uploaded objects to check integrity.

This can be useful when trying to minimise the number of transactions
rclone does.

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.

In particular it will assume:

-   the metadata, including modtime, storage class and content type was
    as uploaded
-   the size was as uploaded

It reads the following items from the response for a single part PUT:

-   the MD5SUM
-   The uploaded date

For multipart uploads these items aren't read.

If an source object of unknown length is uploaded then rclone will do a
HEAD request.

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.

Properties:

-   Config: no_head
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_NO_HEAD
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false

--s3-no-head-object

If set, do not do HEAD before GET when getting objects.

Properties:

-   Config: no_head_object
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_NO_HEAD_OBJECT
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false

--s3-encoding

The encoding for the backend.

See the encoding section in the overview for more info.

Properties:

-   Config: encoding
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_ENCODING
-   Type: MultiEncoder
-   Default: Slash,InvalidUtf8,Dot

--s3-memory-pool-flush-time

How often internal memory buffer pools will be flushed. (no longer used)

Properties:

-   Config: memory_pool_flush_time
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_MEMORY_POOL_FLUSH_TIME
-   Type: Duration
-   Default: 1m0s

--s3-memory-pool-use-mmap

Whether to use mmap buffers in internal memory pool. (no longer used)

Properties:

-   Config: memory_pool_use_mmap
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_MEMORY_POOL_USE_MMAP
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false

--s3-disable-http2

Disable usage of http2 for S3 backends.

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.

See: https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/4673,
https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/3631

Properties:

-   Config: disable_http2
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_DISABLE_HTTP2
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false

--s3-download-url

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.

Properties:

-   Config: download_url
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_DOWNLOAD_URL
-   Type: string
-   Required: false

--s3-directory-markers

Upload an empty object with a trailing slash when a new directory is
created

Empty folders are unsupported for bucket based remotes, this option
creates an empty object ending with "/", to persist the folder.

Properties:

-   Config: directory_markers
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_DIRECTORY_MARKERS
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false

--s3-use-multipart-etag

Whether to use ETag in multipart uploads for verification

This should be true, false or left unset to use the default for the
provider.

Properties:

-   Config: use_multipart_etag
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_USE_MULTIPART_ETAG
-   Type: Tristate
-   Default: unset

--s3-use-presigned-request

Whether to use a presigned request or PutObject for single part uploads

If this is false rclone will use PutObject from the AWS SDK to upload an
object.

Versions of rclone < 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.

Properties:

-   Config: use_presigned_request
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_USE_PRESIGNED_REQUEST
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false

--s3-versions

Include old versions in directory listings.

Properties:

-   Config: versions
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_VERSIONS
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false

--s3-version-at

Show file versions as they were at the specified time.

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".

Note that when using this no file write operations are permitted, so you
can't upload files or delete them.

See the time option docs for valid formats.

Properties:

-   Config: version_at
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_VERSION_AT
-   Type: Time
-   Default: off

--s3-decompress

If set this will decompress gzip encoded objects.

It is possible to upload objects to S3 with "Content-Encoding: gzip"
set. Normally rclone will download these files as compressed objects.

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.

Properties:

-   Config: decompress
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_DECOMPRESS
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false

--s3-might-gzip

Set this if the backend might gzip objects.

Normally providers will not alter objects when they are downloaded. If
an object was not uploaded with Content-Encoding: gzip then it won't be
set on download.

However some providers may gzip objects even if they weren't uploaded
with Content-Encoding: gzip (eg Cloudflare).

A symptom of this would be receiving errors like

    ERROR corrupted on transfer: sizes differ NNN vs MMM

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.

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.

Properties:

-   Config: might_gzip
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_MIGHT_GZIP
-   Type: Tristate
-   Default: unset

--s3-use-accept-encoding-gzip

Whether to send Accept-Encoding: gzip header.

By default, rclone will append Accept-Encoding: gzip to the request to
download compressed objects whenever possible.

However some providers such as Google Cloud Storage may alter the HTTP
headers, breaking the signature of the request.

A symptom of this would be receiving errors like

    SignatureDoesNotMatch: The request signature we calculated does not match the signature you provided.

In this case, you might want to try disabling this option.

Properties:

-   Config: use_accept_encoding_gzip
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_USE_ACCEPT_ENCODING_GZIP
-   Type: Tristate
-   Default: unset

--s3-no-system-metadata

Suppress setting and reading of system metadata

Properties:

-   Config: no_system_metadata
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_NO_SYSTEM_METADATA
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false

--s3-sts-endpoint

Endpoint for STS.

Leave blank if using AWS to use the default endpoint for the region.

Properties:

-   Config: sts_endpoint
-   Env Var: RCLONE_S3_STS_ENDPOINT
-   Provider: AWS
-   Type: string
-   Required: false

Metadata

User metadata is stored as x-amz-meta- keys. S3 metadata keys are case
insensitive and are always returned in lower case.

Here are the possible system metadata items for the s3 backend.

Backend commands

Here are the commands specific to the s3 backend.

Run them with

    rclone backend COMMAND remote:

The help below will explain what arguments each command takes.

See the backend command for more info on how to pass options and
arguments.

These can be run on a running backend using the rc command
backend/command.

restore

Restore objects from GLACIER to normal storage

    rclone backend restore remote: [options] [<arguments>+]

This command can be used to restore one or more objects from GLACIER to
normal storage.

Usage Examples:

    rclone backend restore s3:bucket/path/to/object -o priority=PRIORITY -o lifetime=DAYS
    rclone backend restore s3:bucket/path/to/directory -o priority=PRIORITY -o lifetime=DAYS
    rclone backend restore s3:bucket -o priority=PRIORITY -o lifetime=DAYS

This flag also obeys the filters. Test first with --interactive/-i or
--dry-run flags

    rclone --interactive backend restore --include "*.txt" s3:bucket/path -o priority=Standard -o lifetime=1

All the objects shown will be marked for restore, then

    rclone backend restore --include "*.txt" s3:bucket/path -o priority=Standard -o lifetime=1

It returns a list of status dictionaries with Remote and Status keys.
The Status will be OK if it was successful or an error message if not.

    [
        {
            "Status": "OK",
            "Remote": "test.txt"
        },
        {
            "Status": "OK",
            "Remote": "test/file4.txt"
        }
    ]

Options:

-   "description": The optional description for the job.
-   "lifetime": Lifetime of the active copy in days
-   "priority": Priority of restore: Standard|Expedited|Bulk

restore-status

Show the restore status for objects being restored from GLACIER to
normal storage

    rclone backend restore-status remote: [options] [<arguments>+]

This command can be used to show the status for objects being restored
from GLACIER to normal storage.

Usage Examples:

    rclone backend restore-status s3:bucket/path/to/object
    rclone backend restore-status s3:bucket/path/to/directory
    rclone backend restore-status -o all s3:bucket/path/to/directory

    rclone backend list-multipart-uploads remote: [options] [<arguments>+]

This command lists the unfinished multipart uploads in JSON format.

    rclone backend list-multipart s3:bucket/path/to/object

It returns a dictionary of buckets with values as lists of unfinished
multipart uploads.

You can call it with no bucket in which case it lists all bucket, with a
bucket or with a bucket and path.

    {
      "rclone": [
        {
          "Initiated": "2020-06-26T14:20:36Z",

      "rclone-dst": []
    }

cleanup

Remove unfinished multipart uploads.

    rclone backend cleanup remote: [options] [<arguments>+]

This command removes unfinished multipart uploads of age greater than
max-age which defaults to 24 hours.

Note that you can use --interactive/-i or --dry-run with this command to
see what it would do.

    rclone backend cleanup s3:bucket/path/to/object
    rclone backend cleanup -o max-age=7w s3:bucket/path/to/object

Durations are parsed as per the rest of rclone, 2h, 7d, 7w etc.

Options:

-   "max-age": Max age of upload to delete

cleanup-hidden

Remove old versions of files.

    rclone backend cleanup-hidden remote: [options] [<arguments>+]

This command removes any old hidden versions of files on a versions
enabled bucket.

Note that you can use --interactive/-i or --dry-run with this command to
see what it would do.

    rclone backend cleanup-hidden s3:bucket/path/to/dir

versioning

Set/get versioning support for a bucket.

    rclone backend versioning remote: [options] [<arguments>+]

This command sets versioning support if a parameter is passed and then
returns the current versioning status for the bucket supplied.

    rclone backend versioning s3:bucket # read status only
    rclone backend versioning s3:bucket Enabled
    rclone backend versioning s3:bucket Suspended

It may return "Enabled", "Suspended" or "Unversioned". Note that once
versioning has been enabled the status can't be set back to
"Unversioned".

set

Set command for updating the config parameters.

    rclone backend set remote: [options] [<arguments>+]

This set command can be used to update the config parameters for a
running s3 backend.

Usage Examples:

    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

The option keys are named as they are in the config file.

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.

It doesn't return anything.

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. Your config should end up
looking like this:

    [anons3]
    type = s3
    provider = AWS
    env_auth = false
    access_key_id =
    secret_access_key =
    region = us-east-1
    endpoint =
    location_constraint =
    acl = private
    server_side_encryption =
    storage_class =

Then use it as normal with the name of the public bucket, e.g.

    rclone lsd anons3:1000genomes

You will be able to list and copy data but not upload it.

Providers

AWS S3

This is the provider used as main example and described in the
configuration section above.

AWS Snowball Edge

AWS Snowball is a hardware appliance used for transferring bulk data
back to AWS. Its main software interface is S3 object storage.

To use rclone with AWS Snowball Edge devices, configure as standard for
an 'S3 Compatible Service'.

If using rclone pre v1.59 be sure to set upload_cutoff = 0 otherwise you
will run into authentication header issues as the snowball device does
not support query parameter based authentication.

With rclone v1.59 or later setting upload_cutoff should not be
necessary.

eg.

    [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

Ceph

Ceph is an open-source, unified, distributed storage system designed for
excellent performance, reliability and scalability. It has an S3
compatible object storage interface.

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:

    [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 =

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
--s3-upload-cutoff 0 or put this in the config file as upload_cutoff 0
to work around a bug which causes uploading of small files to fail.

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.

Cloudflare R2

Cloudflare R2 Storage allows developers to store large amounts of
unstructured data without the costly egress bandwidth fees associated
with typical cloud storage services.

Here is an example of making a Cloudflare R2 configuration. First run:

    rclone config

This will guide you through an interactive setup process.

Note that all buckets are private, and all are stored in the same "auto"
region. It is necessary to use Cloudflare workers to share the content
of a bucket publicly.

    provider = Cloudflare
    access_key_id = ACCESS_KEY
    secret_access_key = SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
    region = auto
    endpoint = https://ACCOUNT_ID.r2.cloudflarestorage.com
    acl = private

Now run rclone lsf r2: to see your buckets and rclone lsf r2:bucket to
look within a bucket.

Dreamhost

Dreamhost DreamObjects is an object storage system based on CEPH.

To use rclone with Dreamhost, configure as above but leave the region
blank and set the endpoint. You should end up with something like this
in your config:

    [dreamobjects]
    type = s3
    provider = DreamHost
    env_auth = false
    access_key_id = your_access_key
    secret_access_key = your_secret_key
    region =
    endpoint = objects-us-west-1.dream.io
    location_constraint =
    acl = private
    server_side_encryption =
    storage_class =

Google Cloud Storage

GoogleCloudStorage is an S3-interoperable object storage service from
Google Cloud Platform.

To connect to Google Cloud Storage you will need an access key and
secret key. These can be retrieved by creating an HMAC key.

    [gs]
    type = s3
    provider = GCS
    access_key_id = your_access_key
    secret_access_key = your_secret_key
    endpoint = https://storage.googleapis.com

DigitalOcean Spaces

Spaces is an S3-interoperable object storage service from cloud provider
DigitalOcean.

To connect to DigitalOcean Spaces you will need an access key and secret
key. These can be retrieved on the "Applications & API" page of the
DigitalOcean control panel. They will be needed when prompted by
rclone config for your access_key_id and secret_access_key.

When prompted for a region or location_constraint, press enter to use
the default value. The region must be included in the endpoint setting
(e.g. nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com). The default values can be used for
other settings.

Going through the whole process of creating a new remote by running
rclone config, each prompt should be answered as shown below:

    Storage> s3
    env_auth> 1
    access_key_id> YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
    secret_access_key> YOUR_SECRET_KEY
    region>
    endpoint> nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com
    location_constraint>
    acl>
    storage_class>

The resulting configuration file should look like:

    [spaces]
    type = s3
    provider = DigitalOcean
    env_auth = false
    access_key_id = YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
    secret_access_key = YOUR_SECRET_KEY
    region =
    endpoint = nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com
    location_constraint =
    acl =
    server_side_encryption =
    storage_class =

Once configured, you can create a new Space and begin copying files. For
example:

    rclone mkdir spaces:my-new-space
    rclone copy /path/to/files spaces:my-new-space

Huawei OBS

Object Storage Service (OBS) provides stable, secure, efficient, and
easy-to-use cloud storage that lets you store virtually any volume of
unstructured data in any format and access it from anywhere.

OBS provides an S3 interface, you can copy and modify the following
configuration and add it to your rclone configuration file.

    [obs]
    type = s3
    provider = HuaweiOBS
    access_key_id = your-access-key-id
    secret_access_key = your-secret-access-key
    region = af-south-1
    endpoint = obs.af-south-1.myhuaweicloud.com

        secret_access_key = yyy
        endpoint = s3-api.us-geo.objectstorage.softlayer.net
        location_constraint = us-standard
        acl = private

13. Execute rclone commands

        1)  Create a bucket.
            rclone mkdir IBM-COS-XREGION:newbucket
        2)  List available buckets.
            rclone lsd IBM-COS-XREGION:

            -1 2018-02-14 20:16:39        -1 newbucket
        3)  List contents of a bucket.
            rclone ls IBM-COS-XREGION:newbucket
            18685952 test.exe
        4)  Copy a file from local to remote.
            rclone copy /Users/file.txt IBM-COS-XREGION:newbucket

Minio

Minio is an object storage server built for cloud application developers
and devops.

It is very easy to install and provides an S3 compatible server which
can be used by rclone.

To use it, install Minio following the instructions here.

When it configures itself Minio will print something like this

    Endpoint:  http://192.168.1.106:9000  http://172.23.0.1:9000
    AccessKey: USWUXHGYZQYFYFFIT3RE
    SecretKey: MOJRH0mkL1IPauahWITSVvyDrQbEEIwljvmxdq03
    Region:    us-east-1
    SQS ARNs:  arn:minio:sqs:us-east-1:1:redis arn:minio:sqs:us-east-1:2:redis

    Browser Access:
       http://192.168.1.106:9000  http://172.23.0.1:9000

    Command-line Access: https://docs.minio.io/docs/minio-client-quickstart-guide
       $ mc config host add myminio http://192.168.1.106:9000 USWUXHGYZQYFYFFIT3RE MOJRH0mkL1IPauahWITSVvyDrQbEEIwljvmxdq03

    Object API (Amazon S3 compatible):
       Go:         https://docs.minio.io/docs/golang-client-quickstart-guide
       Java:       https://docs.minio.io/docs/java-client-quickstart-guide
       Python:     https://docs.minio.io/docs/python-client-quickstart-guide

       .NET:       https://docs.minio.io/docs/dotnet-client-quickstart-guide

    Drive Capacity: 26 GiB Free, 165 GiB Total

These details need to go into rclone config like this. Note that it is
important to put the region in as stated above.

    env_auth> 1
    access_key_id> USWUXHGYZQYFYFFIT3RE
    secret_access_key> MOJRH0mkL1IPauahWITSVvyDrQbEEIwljvmxdq03
    region> us-east-1
    endpoint> http://192.168.1.106:9000
    location_constraint>
    server_side_encryption>

Which makes the config file look like this

    [minio]
    type = s3
    provider = Minio
    env_auth = false
    access_key_id = USWUXHGYZQYFYFFIT3RE
    secret_access_key = MOJRH0mkL1IPauahWITSVvyDrQbEEIwljvmxdq03
    region = us-east-1
    endpoint = http://192.168.1.106:9000
    location_constraint =
    server_side_encryption =

So once set up, for example, to copy files into a bucket

    rclone copy /path/to/files minio:bucket

RackCorp

RackCorp Object Storage is an S3 compatible object storage platform from
your friendly cloud provider RackCorp. The service is fast, reliable,
well priced and located in many strategic locations unserviced by
others, to ensure you can maintain data sovereignty.

Before you can use RackCorp Object Storage, you'll need to "sign up" for
an account on our "portal". Next you can create an access key, a
secret key and buckets, in your location of choice with ease. These
details are required for the next steps of configuration, when
rclone config asks for your access_key_id and secret_access_key.

Your config should end up looking a bit like this:

    [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

Scaleway

Scaleway 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.

Scaleway provides an S3 interface which can be configured for use with
rclone like this:

    [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 =
    acl = private
    server_side_encryption =
    storage_class =

C14 Cold Storage is the low-cost S3 Glacier alternative from Scaleway
and it works the same way as on S3 by accepting the "GLACIER"
storage_class. So you can configure your remote with the
storage_class = GLACIER option to upload directly to C14. 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)

Seagate Lyve Cloud

Seagate Lyve Cloud is an S3 compatible object storage platform from
Seagate intended for enterprise use.

Here is a config run through for a remote called remote - you may choose
a different name of course. Note that to create an access key and secret
key you will need to create a service account first.

And the config file should end up looking like this:

    [remote]
    type = s3
    provider = LyveCloud
    access_key_id = XXX
    secret_access_key = YYY
    endpoint = s3.us-east-1.lyvecloud.seagate.com

SeaweedFS

SeaweedFS is a distributed storage system for blobs, objects, files, and
data lake, with O(1) disk seek and a scalable file metadata store. It
has an S3 compatible object storage interface. SeaweedFS can also act as
a gateway to remote S3 compatible object store to cache data and
metadata with asynchronous write back, for fast local speed and minimize
access cost.

Assuming the SeaweedFS are configured with weed shell as such:

    > s3.bucket.create -name foo
    > s3.configure -access_key=any -secret_key=any -buckets=foo -user=me -actions=Read,Write,List,Tagging,Admin -apply
    {
      "identities": [
        {
          "name": "me",
          "credentials": [
            {
              "accessKey": "any",
              "secretKey": "any"
            }
          ],
          "actions": [
            "Read:foo",
            "Write:foo",
            "List:foo",
            "Tagging:foo",
            "Admin:foo"
          ]
        }
      ]
    }

To use rclone with SeaweedFS, above configuration should end up with
something like this in your config:

    [seaweedfs_s3]
    type = s3
    provider = SeaweedFS
    access_key_id = any
    secret_access_key = any
    endpoint = localhost:8333

So once set up, for example to copy files into a bucket

    rclone copy /path/to/files seaweedfs_s3:foo

Wasabi

Wasabi is a cloud-based object storage service for a broad range of
applications and use cases. Wasabi is designed for individuals and
organizations that require a high-performance, reliable, and secure data
storage infrastructure at minimal cost.

Backend quirks

-   --chunk-size is forced to be 64 MiB or greater. This will use more
    memory than the default of 5 MiB.
-   Server side copy is disabled as it isn't currently supported in the
    gateway.
-   GetTier and SetTier are not supported.

Backend bugs

Due to issue #39 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).

This has the following consequences:

-   Using rclone rcat will fail as the medatada doesn't match after
    upload
-   Uploading files with rclone mount will fail for the same reason
    -   This can worked around by using --vfs-cache-mode writes or
        --vfs-cache-mode full or setting --s3-upload-cutoff large
-   Files uploaded via a multipart upload won't have their modtimes
    -   This will mean that rclone sync will likely keep trying to
        upload files bigger than --s3-upload-cutoff
    -   This can be worked around with --checksum or --size-only or
        setting --s3-upload-cutoff large
    -   The maximum value for --s3-upload-cutoff is 5GiB though

One general purpose workaround is to set --s3-upload-cutoff 5G. This
means that rclone will upload files smaller than 5GiB as single parts.
Note that this can be set in the config file with upload_cutoff = 5G or
configured in the advanced settings. If you regularly transfer files
larger than 5G then using --checksum or --size-only in rclone sync is
the recommended workaround.

Comparison with the native protocol

Use the the native protocol 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.

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.

For more detailed comparison please check the documentation of the storj
backend.

Limitations

rclone about is not supported by the S3 backend. Backends without this
capability cannot determine free space for an rclone mount or use policy
mfs (most free space) as a member of an rclone union remote.

See List of backends that do not support rclone about and rclone about

Synology C2 Object Storage

Synology C2 Object Storage provides a secure, S3-compatible, and
cost-effective cloud storage solution without API request, download
fees, and deletion penalty.

The S3 compatible gateway is configured using rclone config with a type
of s3 and with a provider name of Synology. Here is an example run of
the configurator.

First run:

    #  Backblaze B2

    B2 is [Backblaze's cloud storage system](https://www.backblaze.com/b2/).

    Paths are specified as `remote:bucket` (or `remote:` for the `lsd`
    command.)  You may put subdirectories in too, e.g. `remote:bucket/path/to/dir`.

    ## Configuration

    Here is an example of making a b2 configuration.  First run

        rclone config

    This will guide you through an interactive setup process.  To authenticate
    you will either need your Account ID (a short hex number) and Master
    Application Key (a long hex number) OR an Application Key, which is the
    recommended method. See below for further details on generating and using
    an Application Key.

No remotes found, make a new one? n) New remote q) Quit config n/q> n

    This remote is called `remote` and can now be used like this

    See all buckets

        rclone lsd remote:

    Create 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 --interactive /home/local/directory remote:bucket

    ### Application Keys

    B2 supports multiple [Application Keys for different access permission
    to B2 Buckets](https://www.backblaze.com/b2/docs/application_keys.html).

    You can use these with rclone too; you will need to use rclone version 1.43
    or later.

    Follow Backblaze's docs to create an Application Key with the required
    permission and add the `applicationKeyId` as the `account` and the
    `Application Key` itself as the `key`.

    Note that you must put the _applicationKeyId_ as the `account` – you
    can't use the master Account ID.  If you try then B2 will return 401
    errors.

    ### --fast-list

    This remote supports `--fast-list` which allows you to use fewer
    transactions in exchange for more memory. See the [rclone
    docs](https://rclone.org/docs/#fast-list) for more details.

    ### 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. Note that
    if a modification time needs to be updated on an object then it will
    create a new version of the object.

    ### Restricted filename characters

    In addition to the [default restricted characters set](https://rclone.org/overview/#restricted-characters)
    the following characters are also replaced:

    | Character | Value | Replacement |
    | --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
    | \         | 0x5C  | ＼           |

    Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be [replaced](https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8),
    as they can't be used in JSON strings.

    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
    `--b2-encoding` flag below and remove the `BackSlash` from the
    string. This can be set in the config.

    ### SHA1 checksums

    The SHA1 checksums of the files are checked on upload and download and
    will be used in the syncing process.

    Large files (bigger than the limit in `--b2-upload-cutoff`) which are
    uploaded in chunks will store their SHA1 on the object as
    `X-Bz-Info-large_file_sha1` as recommended by Backblaze.

    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 [the overview](https://rclone.org/overview/#features) for exactly which remotes
    support SHA1.

    Sources which don't support SHA1, in particular `crypt` will upload
    large files without SHA1 checksums.  This may be fixed in the future
    (see [#1767](https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/1767)).

    Files sizes below `--b2-upload-cutoff` will always have an SHA1
    regardless of the source.

    ### Transfers

    Backblaze recommends that you do lots of transfers simultaneously for
    maximum speed.  In tests from my SSD equipped 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.

    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 `--transfers` of
    these in use at any moment, so this sets the upper limit on the memory
    used.

    ### Versions

    When rclone uploads a new version of a file it creates a [new version
    of it](https://www.backblaze.com/b2/docs/file_versions.html).
    Likewise when you delete a file, the old version will be marked hidden
    and still be available.  Conversely, you may opt in to a "hard delete"
    of files with the `--b2-hard-delete` flag which would permanently remove
    the file instead of hiding it.

    Old versions of files, where available, are visible using the 
    `--b2-versions` flag.

    It is also possible to view a bucket as it was at a certain point in time,
    using the `--b2-version-at` 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.

    If you wish to remove all the old versions then you can use the
    `rclone cleanup remote:bucket` 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. `rclone cleanup remote:bucket/path/to/stuff`.

    Note that `cleanup` will remove partially uploaded files from the bucket
    if they are more than a day old.

    When you `purge` a bucket, the current and the old versions will be
    deleted then the bucket will be deleted.

    However `delete` will cause the current versions of the files to
    become hidden old versions.

    Here is a session showing the listing and retrieval of an old
    version followed by a `cleanup` of the old versions.

    Show current version and all the versions with `--b2-versions` flag.

$ rclone -q ls b2:cleanup-test 9 one.txt

$ 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


    Retrieve an old version

$ rclone -q --b2-versions copy
b2: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


    Clean up all the old versions and show that they've gone.

$ rclone -q cleanup b2:cleanup-test

$ rclone -q ls b2:cleanup-test 9 one.txt

$ rclone -q --b2-versions ls b2:cleanup-test 9 one.txt


    #### Versions naming caveat

    When using `--b2-versions` 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.

        9 file.txt
        8 file-v2023-07-17-161032-000.txt
       16 file-v2023-06-15-141003-000.txt

    If there are real files present with the same names as versions, then
    behaviour of `--b2-versions` can be unpredictable.

    ### Data usage

    It is useful to know how many requests are sent to the server in different scenarios.

    All copy commands send the following 4 requests:

/b2api/v1/b2_authorize_account /b2api/v1/b2_create_bucket
/b2api/v1/b2_list_buckets /b2api/v1/b2_list_file_names


    The `b2_list_file_names` 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
    [#818](https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/818) 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.

    Uploading files that do not require chunking, will send 2 requests per
    file upload:

/b2api/v1/b2_get_upload_url /b2api/v1/b2_upload_file/


    Uploading files requiring chunking, will send 2 requests (one each to
    start and finish the upload) and another 2 requests for each chunk:

/b2api/v1/b2_start_large_file /b2api/v1/b2_get_upload_part_url
/b2api/v1/b2_upload_part/ /b2api/v1/b2_finish_large_file


    #### Versions

    Versions can be viewed with the `--b2-versions` flag. When it is set
    rclone will show and act on older versions of files.  For example

    Listing without `--b2-versions`

$ rclone -q ls b2:cleanup-test 9 one.txt


    And with

$ 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


    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.

    Note that when using `--b2-versions` no file write operations are
    permitted, so you can't upload files or delete them.

    ### B2 and rclone link

    Rclone supports generating file share links for private B2 buckets.
    They can either be for a file for example:

./rclone link B2:bucket/path/to/file.txt
https://f002.backblazeb2.com/file/bucket/path/to/file.txt?Authorization=xxxxxxxx


    or if run on a directory you will get:

./rclone link B2:bucket/path
https://f002.backblazeb2.com/file/bucket/path?Authorization=xxxxxxxx


    you can then use the authorization token (the part of the url from the
     `?Authorization=` on) on any file path under that directory. For example:

https://f002.backblazeb2.com/file/bucket/path/to/file1?Authorization=xxxxxxxx
https://f002.backblazeb2.com/file/bucket/path/file2?Authorization=xxxxxxxx
https://f002.backblazeb2.com/file/bucket/path/folder/file3?Authorization=xxxxxxxx

    ### Advanced options

    Here are the Advanced options specific to b2 (Backblaze B2).

    #### --b2-endpoint

    Endpoint for the service.

    Leave blank normally.

    Properties:

    - Config:      endpoint
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_B2_ENDPOINT
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --b2-test-mode

    A flag string for X-Bz-Test-Mode header for debugging.

    This is for debugging purposes only. Setting it to one of the strings
    below will cause b2 to return specific errors:

      * "fail_some_uploads"
      * "expire_some_account_authorization_tokens"
      * "force_cap_exceeded"

    These will be set in the "X-Bz-Test-Mode" header which is documented
    in the [b2 integrations checklist](https://www.backblaze.com/b2/docs/integration_checklist.html).

    Properties:

    - Config:      test_mode
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_B2_TEST_MODE
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --b2-versions

    Include old versions in directory listings.

    Note that when using this no file write operations are permitted,
    so you can't upload files or delete them.

    Properties:

    - Config:      versions
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_B2_VERSIONS
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --b2-version-at

    Show file versions as they were at the specified time.

    Note that when using this no file write operations are permitted,
    so you can't upload files or delete them.

    Properties:

    - Config:      version_at
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_B2_VERSION_AT
    - Type:        Time
    - Default:     off

    #### --b2-upload-cutoff

    Cutoff for switching to chunked upload.

    Files above this size will be uploaded in chunks of "--b2-chunk-size".

    This value should be set no larger than 4.657 GiB (== 5 GB).

    Properties:

    - Config:      upload_cutoff
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_B2_UPLOAD_CUTOFF
    - Type:        SizeSuffix
    - Default:     200Mi

    #### --b2-copy-cutoff

    Cutoff for switching to multipart copy.

    Any files larger than this that need to be server-side copied will be
    copied in chunks of this size.

    The minimum is 0 and the maximum is 4.6 GiB.

    Properties:

    - Config:      copy_cutoff
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_B2_COPY_CUTOFF
    - Type:        SizeSuffix
    - Default:     4Gi

    #### --b2-chunk-size

    Upload chunk size.

    When uploading large files, chunk the file into this size.

    Must fit in memory. These chunks are buffered in memory and there
    might a maximum of "--transfers" chunks in progress at once.

    5,000,000 Bytes is the minimum size.

    Properties:

    - Config:      chunk_size
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_B2_CHUNK_SIZE
    - Type:        SizeSuffix
    - Default:     96Mi

    #### --b2-upload-concurrency

    Concurrency for multipart uploads.

    This is the number of chunks of the same file that are uploaded
    concurrently.

    Note that chunks are stored in memory and there may be up to
    "--transfers" * "--b2-upload-concurrency" chunks stored at once
    in memory.

    Properties:

    - Config:      upload_concurrency
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_B2_UPLOAD_CONCURRENCY
    - Type:        int
    - Default:     16

    #### --b2-disable-checksum

    Disable checksums for large (> upload cutoff) files.

    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.

    Properties:

    - Config:      disable_checksum
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_B2_DISABLE_CHECKSUM
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --b2-download-url

    Custom endpoint for downloads.

    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.

    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}".

    Example:
    > https://mysubdomain.mydomain.tld
    (No trailing "/", "file" or "bucket")

    Properties:

    - Config:      download_url
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_B2_DOWNLOAD_URL
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --b2-download-auth-duration

    Time before the authorization token will expire in s or suffix ms|s|m|h|d.

    The duration before the download authorization token will expire.
    The minimum value is 1 second. The maximum value is one week.

    Properties:

    - Config:      download_auth_duration
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_B2_DOWNLOAD_AUTH_DURATION
    - Type:        Duration
    - Default:     1w

    #### --b2-memory-pool-flush-time

    How often internal memory buffer pools will be flushed. (no longer used)

    Properties:

    - Config:      memory_pool_flush_time
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_B2_MEMORY_POOL_FLUSH_TIME
    - Type:        Duration
    - Default:     1m0s

    #### --b2-memory-pool-use-mmap

    Whether to use mmap buffers in internal memory pool. (no longer used)

    Properties:

    - Config:      memory_pool_use_mmap
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_B2_MEMORY_POOL_USE_MMAP
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --b2-encoding

    The encoding for the backend.

    See the [encoding section in the overview](https://rclone.org/overview/#encoding) for more info.

    Properties:

    - Config:      encoding
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_B2_ENCODING

    ## Limitations

    `rclone about` is not supported by the B2 backend. Backends without
    this capability cannot determine free space for an rclone mount or
    use policy `mfs` (most free space) as a member of an rclone union
    remote.

    See [List of backends that do not support rclone about](https://rclone.org/overview/#optional-features) and [rclone about](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_about/)

    #  Box

    Paths are specified as `remote:path`

    Paths may be as deep as required, e.g. `remote:directory/subdirectory`.

    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.  `rclone config` walks you through it.

    ## Configuration

    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:

No remotes found, make a new one? n) New remote s) Set configuration
password q) Quit config n/s/q> n name> remote Type of storage to
configure. Choose a number from below, or type in your own value [snip]
XX / Box  "box" [snip] Storage> box Box App Client Id - leave blank
normally. client_id> Box App Client Secret - leave blank normally.
client_secret> Box App config.json location Leave blank normally. Enter
a string value. Press Enter for the default (""). box_config_file> Box
App Primary Access Token Leave blank normally. Enter a string value.
Press Enter for the default (""). access_token>

Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default ("user"). Choose a
number from below, or type in your own value 1 / Rclone should act on
behalf of a user  "user" 2 / Rclone should act on behalf of a service
account  "enterprise" box_sub_type> Remote config Use web browser to
automatically authenticate rclone with remote? * Say Y if the machine
running rclone has a web browser you can use * Say N if running rclone
on a (remote) machine without web browser access If not sure try Y. If Y
failed, try N. 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 Waiting for code... Got code
-------------------- [remote] client_id = client_secret = token =
{"access_token":"XXX","token_type":"bearer","refresh_token":"XXX","expiry":"XXX"}
-------------------- y) Yes this is OK e) Edit this remote d) Delete
this remote y/e/d> y


    See the [remote setup docs](https://rclone.org/remote_setup/) 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 Box. 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 Box

        rclone lsd remote:

    List all the files in your Box

        rclone ls remote:

    To copy a local directory to an Box directory called backup

        rclone copy /home/source remote:backup

    ### Using rclone with an Enterprise account with SSO

    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.

    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.

    ### Invalid refresh token

    According to the [box docs](https://developer.box.com/v2.0/docs/oauth-20#section-6-using-the-access-and-refresh-tokens):

    > Each refresh_token is valid for one use in 60 days.

    This means that if you

      * Don't use the box remote for 60 days
      * Copy the config file with a box refresh token in and use it in two places
      * Get an error on a token refresh

    then rclone will return an error which includes the text `Invalid
    refresh token`.

    To fix this you will need to use oauth2 again to update the refresh
    token.  You can use the methods in [the remote setup
    docs](https://rclone.org/remote_setup/), 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.

    Here is how to do it.

$ rclone config Current remotes:

Name Type ==== ==== remote box

e)  Edit existing remote
f)  New remote
g)  Delete remote
h)  Rename remote
i)  Copy remote
j)  Set configuration password
k)  Quit config e/n/d/r/c/s/q> e Choose a number from below, or type in
    an existing value 1 > remote remote> remote --------------------
    [remote] type = box token =
    {"access_token":"XXX","token_type":"bearer","refresh_token":"XXX","expiry":"2017-07-08T23:40:08.059167677+01:00"}
    -------------------- Edit remote Value "client_id" = "" Edit? (y/n)>
l)  Yes
m)  No y/n> n Value "client_secret" = "" Edit? (y/n)>
n)  Yes
o)  No y/n> n Remote config Already have a token - refresh?
p)  Yes
q)  No y/n> y Use web browser to automatically authenticate rclone with
    remote?

-   Say Y if the machine running rclone has a web browser you can use
-   Say N if running rclone on a (remote) machine without web browser
    access If not sure try Y. If Y failed, try N.

y)  Yes
z)  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 Waiting for code... Got code --------------------
    [remote] type = box token =
    {"access_token":"YYY","token_type":"bearer","refresh_token":"YYY","expiry":"2017-07-23T12:22:29.259137901+01:00"}
    --------------------
a)  Yes this is OK
b)  Edit this remote
c)  Delete this remote y/e/d> y


    ### Modified time and hashes

    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.

    Box supports SHA1 type hashes, so you can use the `--checksum`
    flag.

    ### Restricted filename characters

    In addition to the [default restricted characters set](https://rclone.org/overview/#restricted-characters)
    the following characters are also replaced:

    | Character | Value | Replacement |
    | --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
    | \         | 0x5C  | ＼           |

    File names can also not end with the following characters.
    These only get replaced if they are the last character in the name:

    | Character | Value | Replacement |
    | --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
    | SP        | 0x20  | ␠           |

    Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be [replaced](https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8),
    as they can't be used in JSON strings.

    ### Transfers

    For files above 50 MiB rclone will use a chunked transfer.  Rclone will
    upload up to `--transfers` chunks at the same time (shared among all
    the multipart uploads).  Chunks are buffered in memory and are
    normally 8 MiB so increasing `--transfers` will increase memory use.

    ### Deleting files

    Depending on the enterprise settings for your user, the item will
    either be actually deleted from Box or moved to the trash.

    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.

    ### Root folder ID

    You can set the `root_folder_id` for rclone.  This is the directory
    (identified by its `Folder ID`) that rclone considers to be the root
    of your Box drive.

    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.

    In order to do this you will have to find the `Folder ID` 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.

    So if the folder you want rclone to use has a URL which looks like
    `https://app.box.com/folder/11xxxxxxxxx8`
    in the browser, then you use `11xxxxxxxxx8` as
    the `root_folder_id` in the config.

    ## Limitations

    Note that Box is case insensitive so you can't have a file called
    "Hello.doc" and one called "hello.doc".

    Box file names can't have the `\` character in.  rclone maps this to
    and from an identical looking unicode equivalent `＼` (U+FF3C Fullwidth
    Reverse Solidus).

    Box only supports filenames up to 255 characters in length.

    Box has [API rate limits](https://developer.box.com/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/rate-limits/) that sometimes reduce the speed of rclone.

    `rclone about` is not supported by the Box backend. Backends without
    this capability cannot determine free space for an rclone mount or
    use policy `mfs` (most free space) as a member of an rclone union
    remote.

    See [List of backends that do not support rclone about](https://rclone.org/overview/#optional-features) and [rclone about](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_about/)

    ## Get your own Box App ID

    Here is how to create your own Box App ID for rclone:

    1. Go to the [Box Developer Console](https://app.box.com/developers/console)
    and login, then click `My Apps` on the sidebar. Click `Create New App`
    and select `Custom App`.

    2. In the first screen on the box that pops up, you can pretty much enter
    whatever you want. The `App Name` can be whatever. For `Purpose` choose
    automation to avoid having to fill out anything else. Click `Next`.

    3. In the second screen of the creation screen, select
    `User Authentication (OAuth 2.0)`. Then click `Create App`.

    4. You should now be on the `Configuration` tab of your new app. If not,
    click on it at the top of the webpage. Copy down `Client ID`
    and `Client Secret`, you'll need those for rclone.

    5. Under "OAuth 2.0 Redirect URI", add `http://127.0.0.1:53682/`

    6. For `Application Scopes`, select `Read all files and folders stored in Box`
    and `Write all files and folders stored in box` (assuming you want to do both).
    Leave others unchecked. Click `Save Changes` at the top right.

    #  Cache

    The `cache` remote wraps another existing remote and stores file structure
    and its data for long running tasks like `rclone mount`.

    ## Status

    The cache backend code is working but it currently doesn't
    have a maintainer so there are [outstanding bugs](https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Abug+label%3A%22Remote%3A+Cache%22) which aren't getting fixed.

    The cache backend is due to be phased out in favour of the VFS caching
    layer eventually which is more tightly integrated into rclone.

    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.

    ## Configuration

    To get started you just need to have an existing remote which can be configured
    with `cache`.

    Here is an example of how to make a remote called `test-cache`.  First run:

         rclone config

    This will guide you through an interactive setup process:

No remotes found, make a new one? n) New remote r) Rename remote c) Copy
remote s) Set configuration password q) Quit config n/r/c/s/q> n name>
test-cache Type of storage to configure. Choose a number from below, or
type in your own value [snip] XX / Cache a remote  "cache" [snip]
Storage> cache Remote to cache. Normally should contain a ':' and a
path, e.g. "myremote:path/to/dir", "myremote:bucket" or maybe
"myremote:" (not recommended). remote> local:/test Optional: The URL of
the Plex server plex_url> http://127.0.0.1:32400 Optional: The username
of the Plex user plex_username> dummyusername Optional: The password of
the Plex user y) Yes type in my own password g) Generate random password
n) No leave this optional password blank y/g/n> y Enter the password:
password: Confirm the password: password: The size of a chunk. Lower
value good for slow connections but can affect seamless reading.
Default: 5M Choose a number from below, or type in your own value 1 / 1
MiB  "1M" 2 / 5 MiB  "5M" 3 / 10 MiB  "10M" chunk_size> 2 How much time
should object info (file size, file hashes, etc.) be stored in cache.
Use a very high value if you don't plan on changing the source FS from
outside the cache. Accepted units are: "s", "m", "h". Default: 5m Choose
a number from below, or type in your own value 1 / 1 hour  "1h" 2 / 24
hours  "24h" 3 / 24 hours  "48h" info_age> 2 The maximum size of stored
chunks. When the storage grows beyond this size, the oldest chunks will
be deleted. Default: 10G Choose a number from below, or type in your own
value 1 / 500 MiB  "500M" 2 / 1 GiB  "1G" 3 / 10 GiB  "10G"
chunk_total_size> 3 Remote config -------------------- [test-cache]
remote = local:/test plex_url = http://127.0.0.1:32400 plex_username =
dummyusername plex_password = *** ENCRYPTED *** chunk_size = 5M info_age
= 48h chunk_total_size = 10G


    You can then use it like this,

    List directories in top level of your drive

        rclone lsd test-cache:

    List all the files in your drive

        rclone ls test-cache:

    To start a cached mount

        rclone mount --allow-other test-cache: /var/tmp/test-cache

    ### Write Features ###

    ### Offline uploading ###

    In an effort to make writing through cache more reliable, the backend 
    now supports this feature which can be activated by specifying a
    `cache-tmp-upload-path`.

    A files goes through these states when using this feature:

    1. An upload is started (usually by copying a file on the cache remote)
    2. 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)
    3. After `cache-tmp-wait-time` passes and the file is next in line, `rclone move` 
    is used to move the file to the cloud provider
    4. Reading the file still works during the upload but most modifications on it will be prohibited
    5. Once the move is complete the file is unlocked for modifications as it
    becomes as any other regular file
    6. If the file is being read through `cache` when it's actually
    deleted from the temporary path then `cache` will simply swap the source
    to the cloud provider without interrupting the reading (small blip can happen though)

    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 `--cache-db-purge` flag.

    ### Write Support ###

    Writes are supported through `cache`.
    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 `Offline uploading` for reliable writes.

    One special case is covered with `cache-writes` 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.

    ### Read Features ###

    #### Multiple connections ####

    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.

    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.

    #### Plex Integration ####

    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.

    Scans will have a minimum amount of workers (1) while in a confirmed playback cache
    will deploy the configured number of workers.

    This integration opens the doorway to additional performance improvements
    which will be explored in the near future.

    **Note:** If Plex options are not configured, `cache` will function with its
    configured options without adapting any of its settings.

    How to enable? Run `rclone config` and add all the Plex options (endpoint, username
    and password) in your remote and it will be automatically enabled.

    Affected settings:
    - `cache-workers`: _Configured value_ during confirmed playback or _1_ all the other times

    ##### Certificate Validation #####

    When the Plex server is configured to only accept secure connections, it is
    possible to use `.plex.direct` URLs to ensure certificate validation succeeds.
    These URLs are used by Plex internally to connect to the Plex server securely.

    The format for these URLs is the following:

    `https://ip-with-dots-replaced.server-hash.plex.direct:32400/`

    The `ip-with-dots-replaced` part can be any IPv4 address, where the dots
    have been replaced with dashes, e.g. `127.0.0.1` becomes `127-0-0-1`.

    To get the `server-hash` part, the easiest way is to visit

    https://plex.tv/api/resources?includeHttps=1&X-Plex-Token=your-plex-token

    This page will list all the available Plex servers for your account
    with at least one `.plex.direct` link for each. Copy one URL and replace
    the IP address with the desired address. This can be used as the
    `plex_url` value.

    ### Known issues ###

    #### Mount and --dir-cache-time ####

    --dir-cache-time controls the first layer of directory caching which works at the mount layer.
    Being an independent caching mechanism from the `cache` backend, it will manage its own entries
    based on the configured time.

    To avoid getting in a scenario where dir cache has obsolete data and cache would have the correct
    one, try to set `--dir-cache-time` to a lower time than `--cache-info-age`. Default values are
    already configured in this way. 

    #### Windows support - Experimental ####

    There are a couple of issues with Windows `mount` functionality that still require some investigations.
    It should be considered as experimental thus far as fixes come in for this OS.

    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.

    Any reports or feedback on how cache behaves on this OS is greatly appreciated.

    - https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/1907
    - https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/1834 

    #### Risk of throttling ####

    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. 

    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.

    Some recommendations:
    - don't use a very small interval for entry information (`--cache-info-age`)
    - while writes aren't yet optimised, you can still write through `cache` which gives you the advantage
    of adding the file in the cache at the same time if configured to do so.

    #### cache and crypt ####

    One common scenario is to keep your data encrypted in the cloud provider
    using the `crypt` remote. `crypt` uses a similar technique to wrap around
    an existing remote and handles this translation in a seamless way.

    There is an issue with wrapping the remotes in this order:
    **cloud remote** -> **crypt** -> **cache**

    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:
    **cloud remote** -> **cache** -> **crypt**

    #### absolute remote paths ####

    `cache` can not differentiate between relative and absolute paths for the wrapped remote.
    Any path given in the `remote` 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 `/` character.

    This behavior is irrelevant for most backend types, but there are backends where a leading `/`
    changes the effective directory, e.g. in the `sftp` backend paths starting with a `/` are
    relative to the root of the SSH server and paths without are relative to the user home directory.
    As a result `sftp:bin` and `sftp:/bin` will share the same cache folder, even if they represent
    a different directory on the SSH server.

    ### Cache and Remote Control (--rc) ###
    Cache supports the new `--rc` 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.

    ### rc cache/expire
    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.

    Params:
      - **remote** = path to remote **(required)**
      - **withData** = true/false to delete cached data (chunks) as well _(optional, false by default)_


    ### Standard options

    Here are the Standard options specific to cache (Cache a remote).

    #### --cache-remote

    Remote to cache.

    Normally should contain a ':' and a path, e.g. "myremote:path/to/dir",
    "myremote:bucket" or maybe "myremote:" (not recommended).

    Properties:

    - Config:      remote
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CACHE_REMOTE
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    true

    #### --cache-plex-url

    The URL of the Plex server.

    Properties:

    - Config:      plex_url
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CACHE_PLEX_URL
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --cache-plex-username

    The username of the Plex user.

    Properties:

    - Config:      plex_username
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CACHE_PLEX_USERNAME
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --cache-plex-password

    The password of the Plex user.

    **NB** Input to this must be obscured - see [rclone obscure](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_obscure/).

    Properties:

    - Config:      plex_password
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CACHE_PLEX_PASSWORD
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --cache-chunk-size

    The size of a chunk (partial file data).

    Use lower numbers for slower connections. If the chunk size is
    changed, any downloaded chunks will be invalid and cache-chunk-path
    will need to be cleared or unexpected EOF errors will occur.

    Properties:

    - Config:      chunk_size
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CACHE_CHUNK_SIZE
    - Type:        SizeSuffix
    - Default:     5Mi
    - Examples:
        - "1M"
            - 1 MiB
        - "5M"
            - 5 MiB
        - "10M"
            - 10 MiB

    #### --cache-info-age

    How long to cache file structure information (directory listings, file size, times, etc.). 
    If all write operations are done through the cache then you can safely make
    this value very large as the cache store will also be updated in real time.

    Properties:

    - Config:      info_age
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CACHE_INFO_AGE
    - Type:        Duration
    - Default:     6h0m0s
    - Examples:
        - "1h"
            - 1 hour
        - "24h"
            - 24 hours
        - "48h"
            - 48 hours

    #### --cache-chunk-total-size

    The total size that the chunks can take up on the local disk.

    If the cache exceeds this value then it will start to delete the
    oldest chunks until it goes under this value.

    Properties:

    - Config:      chunk_total_size
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CACHE_CHUNK_TOTAL_SIZE
    - Type:        SizeSuffix
    - Default:     10Gi
    - Examples:
        - "500M"
            - 500 MiB
        - "1G"
            - 1 GiB
        - "10G"
            - 10 GiB

    ### Advanced options

    Here are the Advanced options specific to cache (Cache a remote).

    #### --cache-plex-token

    The plex token for authentication - auto set normally.

    Properties:

    - Config:      plex_token
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CACHE_PLEX_TOKEN
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --cache-plex-insecure

    Skip all certificate verification when connecting to the Plex server.

    Properties:

    - Config:      plex_insecure
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CACHE_PLEX_INSECURE
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --cache-db-path

    Directory to store file structure metadata DB.

    The remote name is used as the DB file name.

    Properties:

    - Config:      db_path
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CACHE_DB_PATH
    - Type:        string
    - Default:     "$HOME/.cache/rclone/cache-backend"

    #### --cache-chunk-path

    Directory to cache chunk files.

    Path to where partial file data (chunks) are stored locally. The remote
    name is appended to the final path.

    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".

    Properties:

    - Config:      chunk_path
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CACHE_CHUNK_PATH
    - Type:        string
    - Default:     "$HOME/.cache/rclone/cache-backend"

    #### --cache-db-purge

    Clear all the cached data for this remote on start.

    Properties:

    - Config:      db_purge
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CACHE_DB_PURGE
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --cache-chunk-clean-interval

    How often should the cache perform cleanups of the chunk storage.

    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.

    Properties:

    - Config:      chunk_clean_interval
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CACHE_CHUNK_CLEAN_INTERVAL
    - Type:        Duration
    - Default:     1m0s

    #### --cache-read-retries

    How many times to retry a read from a cache storage.

    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.

    For really slow connections, increase this to a point where the stream is
    able to provide data but your experience will be very stuttering.

    Properties:

    - Config:      read_retries
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CACHE_READ_RETRIES
    - Type:        int
    - Default:     10

    #### --cache-workers

    How many workers should run in parallel to download chunks.

    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.

    **Note**: 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.

    Properties:

    - Config:      workers
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CACHE_WORKERS
    - Type:        int
    - Default:     4

    #### --cache-chunk-no-memory

    Disable the in-memory cache for storing chunks during streaming.

    By default, cache will keep file data during streaming in RAM as well
    to provide it to readers as fast as possible.

    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).

    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.

    Properties:

    - Config:      chunk_no_memory
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CACHE_CHUNK_NO_MEMORY
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --cache-rps

    Limits the number of requests per second to the source FS (-1 to disable).

    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.

    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.

    A good balance of all the other settings should make this setting
    useless but it is available to set for more special cases.

    **NOTE**: This will limit the number of requests during streams but
    other API calls to the cloud provider like directory listings will
    still pass.

    Properties:

    - Config:      rps
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CACHE_RPS
    - Type:        int
    - Default:     -1

    #### --cache-writes

    Cache file data on writes through the FS.

    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.

    Properties:

    - Config:      writes
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CACHE_WRITES
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --cache-tmp-upload-path

    Directory to keep temporary files until they are uploaded.

    This is the path where cache will use as a temporary storage for new
    files that need to be uploaded to the cloud provider.

    Specifying a value will enable this feature. Without it, it is
    completely disabled and files will be uploaded directly to the cloud
    provider

    Properties:

    - Config:      tmp_upload_path
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CACHE_TMP_UPLOAD_PATH
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --cache-tmp-wait-time

    How long should files be stored in local cache before being uploaded.

    This is the duration that a file must wait in the temporary location
    _cache-tmp-upload-path_ before it is selected for upload.

    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.

    Properties:

    - Config:      tmp_wait_time
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CACHE_TMP_WAIT_TIME
    - Type:        Duration
    - Default:     15s

    #### --cache-db-wait-time

    How long to wait for the DB to be available - 0 is unlimited.

    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.

    If you set it to 0 then it will wait forever.

    Properties:

    - Config:      db_wait_time
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CACHE_DB_WAIT_TIME
    - Type:        Duration
    - Default:     1s

    #  Chunker

    The `chunker` 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.

    ## Configuration

    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.

    First check your chosen remote is working - we'll call it `remote:path` here.
    Note that anything inside `remote:path` 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 `s3:bucket`.

    Now configure `chunker` using `rclone config`. We will call this one `overlay`
    to separate it from the `remote` itself.

    ### Specifying the remote

    In normal use, make sure the remote has a `:` in. If you specify the remote
    without a `:` then rclone will use a local directory of that name.
    So if you use a remote of `/path/to/secret/files` then rclone will
    chunk stuff in that directory. If you use a remote of `name` then rclone
    will put files in a directory called `name` in the current directory.


    ### Chunking

    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.

    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.

    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.

    When the `list` 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.

    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 `--chunker-fail-hard` flag to have commands abort with
    error message in such cases.

    **Caveat**: 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 `--min-size` and then perform a separate call without chunker on the remaining
    files. 


    #### Chunk names

    The default chunk name format is `*.rclone_chunk.###`, hence by default
    chunk names are `BIG_FILE_NAME.rclone_chunk.001`,
    `BIG_FILE_NAME.rclone_chunk.002` etc. You can configure another name format
    using the `name_format` configuration file option. The format uses asterisk
    `*` as a placeholder for the base file name and one or more consecutive
    hash characters `#` 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.

    For example, if name format is `big_*-##.part` and original file name is
    `data.txt` and numbering starts from 0, then the first chunk will be named
    `big_data.txt-00.part`, the 99th chunk will be `big_data.txt-98.part`
    and the 302nd chunk will become `big_data.txt-301.part`.

    Note that `list` assembles composite directory entries only when chunk names
    match the configured format and treats non-conforming file names as normal
    non-chunked files.

    When using `norename` transactions, chunk names will additionally have a unique
    file version suffix. For example, `BIG_FILE_NAME.rclone_chunk.001_bp562k`.


    ### Metadata

    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 `none` format).
    Note that metadata is normally not created for files smaller than the
    configured chunk size. This may change in future rclone releases.

    #### Simple JSON metadata format

    This is the default format. It supports hash sums and chunk validation
    for composite files. Meta objects carry the following fields:

    - `ver`     - version of format, currently `1`
    - `size`    - total size of composite file
    - `nchunks` - number of data chunks in file
    - `md5`     - MD5 hashsum of composite file (if present)
    - `sha1`    - SHA1 hashsum (if present)
    - `txn`     - identifies current version of the file

    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.

    #### No metadata

    You can disable meta objects by setting the meta format option to `none`.
    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.


    ### Hashsums

    Chunker supports hashsums only when a compatible metadata is present.
    Hence, if you choose metadata format of `none`, chunker will report hashsum
    as `UNSUPPORTED`.

    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.

    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.

    If your storage backend does not support MD5 or SHA1 but you need consistent
    file hashing, configure chunker with `md5all` or `sha1all`. 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. `hash_type=sha1all`
    to force hashsums and `chunk_size=1P` to effectively disable chunking.

    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: `sha1quick` and `md5quick`. 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 `sync` command will
    revert (sometimes silently) to time/size comparison if compatible hashsums
    between source and target are not found.


    ### Modified time

    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 `none` then chunker will
    use modification time of the first data chunk.


    ### Migrations

    The idiomatic way to migrate to a different chunk size, hash type, transaction
    style or chunk naming scheme is to:

    - Collect all your chunked files under a directory and have your
      chunker remote point to it.
    - Create another directory (most probably on the same cloud storage)
      and configure a new remote with desired metadata format,
      hash type, chunk naming etc.
    - Now run `rclone sync --interactive oldchunks: newchunks:` and all your data
      will be transparently converted in transfer.
      This may take some time, yet chunker will try server-side
      copy if possible.
    - After checking data integrity you may remove configuration section
      of the old remote.

    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 `list` command but will eat up your account quota.
    Please note that the `deletefile` 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 `copy` command will copy only active chunks while the `purge` will
    remove everything including garbage.


    ### Caveats and Limitations

    Chunker requires wrapped remote to support server-side `move` (or `copy` +
    `delete`) 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.

    Chunker encodes chunk number in file name, so with default `name_format`
    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. `*.rcc##` and save 10 characters (provided at most 99 chunks per file).

    Note that a move implemented using the copy-and-delete method may incur
    double charging with some cloud storage providers.

    Chunker will not automatically rename existing chunks when you run
    `rclone config` 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.

    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).

    Chunker included in rclone releases up to `v1.54` 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.

    Changing `transactions` is dangerous and requires explicit migration.


    ### Standard options

    Here are the Standard options specific to chunker (Transparently chunk/split large files).

    #### --chunker-remote

    Remote to chunk/unchunk.

    Normally should contain a ':' and a path, e.g. "myremote:path/to/dir",
    "myremote:bucket" or maybe "myremote:" (not recommended).

            - Similar to "md5quick" but prefers SHA1 over MD5.

    ### Advanced options

    Here are the Advanced options specific to chunker (Transparently chunk/split large files).

    #### --chunker-name-format

    String format of chunk file names.

    The two placeholders are: base file name (*) and chunk number (#...).
    There must be one and only one asterisk and one or more consecutive hash characters.
    If chunk number has less digits than the number of hashes, it is left-padded by zeros.
    If there are more digits in the number, they are left as is.
    Possible chunk files are ignored if their name does not match given format.

    Properties:

    - Config:      name_format
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CHUNKER_NAME_FORMAT
    - Type:        string
    - Default:     "*.rclone_chunk.###"

    #### --chunker-start-from

    By default "simplejson".
    Metadata is a small JSON file named after the composite file.

    Properties:

    - Config:      meta_format
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CHUNKER_META_FORMAT
    - Type:        string
    - Default:     "simplejson"
    - Examples:
        - "none"
            - Do not use metadata files at all.
            - Requires hash type "none".
        - "simplejson"
            - Simple JSON supports hash sums and chunk validation.
            - 
            - It has the following fields: ver, size, nchunks, md5, sha1.

    #### --chunker-fail-hard

    Choose how chunker should handle files with missing or invalid chunks.

    Properties:

    - Config:      fail_hard
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CHUNKER_FAIL_HARD
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false
    - Examples:
        - "true"
            - Report errors and abort current command.
        - "false"
            - Warn user, skip incomplete file and proceed.

    #### --chunker-transactions

    Choose how chunker should handle temporary files during transactions.

    Properties:

    - Config:      transactions
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CHUNKER_TRANSACTIONS
    - Type:        string
    - Default:     "rename"
    - Examples:
        - "rename"
            - Rename temporary files after a successful transaction.
        - "norename"
            - Leave temporary file names and write transaction ID to metadata file.
            - Metadata is required for no rename transactions (meta format cannot be "none").
            - If you are using norename transactions you should be careful not to downgrade Rclone
            - as older versions of Rclone don't support this transaction style and will misinterpret
            - files manipulated by norename transactions.
            - This method is EXPERIMENTAL, don't use on production systems.
        - "auto"
            - Rename or norename will be used depending on capabilities of the backend.
            - If meta format is set to "none", rename transactions will always be used.
            - This method is EXPERIMENTAL, don't use on production systems.



    #  Citrix ShareFile

    [Citrix ShareFile](https://sharefile.com) is a secure file sharing and transfer service aimed as business.

    ## Configuration

    The initial setup for Citrix ShareFile involves getting a token from
    Citrix ShareFile which you can 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:

No remotes found, make a new one? n) New remote s) Set configuration
password q) Quit config n/s/q> n name> remote Type of storage to
configure. Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default ("").
Choose a number from below, or type in your own value XX / Citrix
Sharefile  "sharefile" Storage> sharefile ** See help for sharefile
backend at: https://rclone.org/sharefile/ **

ID of the root folder

Leave blank to access "Personal Folders". You can use one of the
standard values here or any folder ID (long hex number ID). Enter a
string value. Press Enter for the default (""). Choose a number from
below, or type in your own value 1 / Access the Personal Folders.
(Default)  "" 2 / Access the Favorites folder.  "favorites" 3 / Access
all the shared folders.  "allshared" 4 / Access all the individual
connectors.  "connectors" 5 / Access the home, favorites, and shared
folders as well as the connectors.  "top" root_folder_id> Edit advanced
config? (y/n) y) Yes n) No y/n> n Remote config Use web browser to
automatically authenticate rclone with remote? * Say Y if the machine
running rclone has a web browser you can use * Say N if running rclone
on a (remote) machine without web browser access If not sure try Y. If Y
failed, try N. 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?state=XXX Log in and authorize rclone for
access Waiting for code... Got code -------------------- [remote] type =
sharefile endpoint = https://XXX.sharefile.com token =
{"access_token":"XXX","token_type":"bearer","refresh_token":"XXX","expiry":"2019-09-30T19:41:45.878561877+01:00"}
-------------------- y) Yes this is OK e) Edit this remote d) Delete
this remote y/e/d> y


    See the [remote setup docs](https://rclone.org/remote_setup/) 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 Citrix ShareFile. 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 ShareFile

        rclone lsd remote:

    List all the files in your ShareFile

        rclone ls remote:

    To copy a local directory to an ShareFile directory called backup

        rclone copy /home/source remote:backup

    Paths may be as deep as required, e.g. `remote:directory/subdirectory`.

    ### Modified time and hashes

    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.

    ShareFile supports MD5 type hashes, so you can use the `--checksum`
    flag.

    ### Transfers

    For files above 128 MiB rclone will use a chunked transfer.  Rclone will
    upload up to `--transfers` chunks at the same time (shared among all
    the multipart uploads).  Chunks are buffered in memory and are
    normally 64 MiB so increasing `--transfers` will increase memory use.

    ### Restricted filename characters

    In addition to the [default restricted characters set](https://rclone.org/overview/#restricted-characters)
    the following characters are also replaced:

    | Character | Value | Replacement |
    | --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
    | \\        | 0x5C  | ＼           |
    | *         | 0x2A  | ＊           |
    | <         | 0x3C  | ＜           |
    | >         | 0x3E  | ＞           |
    | ?         | 0x3F  | ？           |
    | :         | 0x3A  | ：           |
    | \|        | 0x7C  | ｜           |
    | "         | 0x22  | ＂           |

    File names can also not start or end with the following characters.
    These only get replaced if they are the first or last character in the
    name:

    | Character | Value | Replacement |
    | --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
    | SP        | 0x20  | ␠           |
    | .         | 0x2E  | ．           |

    Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be [replaced](https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8),
    as they can't be used in JSON strings.

    ## Limitations

    Note that ShareFile is case insensitive so you can't have a file called
    "Hello.doc" and one called "hello.doc".

    ShareFile only supports filenames up to 256 characters in length.

    `rclone about` is not supported by the Citrix ShareFile backend. Backends without
    this capability cannot determine free space for an rclone mount or
    use policy `mfs` (most free space) as a member of an rclone union
    remote.

    See [List of backends that do not support rclone about](https://rclone.org/overview/#optional-features) and [rclone about](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_about/)

    #  Crypt

    Rclone `crypt` remotes encrypt and decrypt other remotes.

    A remote of type `crypt` does not access a [storage system](https://rclone.org/overview/)
    directly, but instead wraps another remote, which in turn accesses
    the storage system. This is similar to how [alias](https://rclone.org/alias/),
    [union](https://rclone.org/union/), [chunker](https://rclone.org/chunker/)
    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
    [mount](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_mount/) a crypt remote.

    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 `crypt` 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 *not* become encrypted.

    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
    [configuration encryption](https://rclone.org/docs/#configuration-encryption)
    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 [changing password](#changing-password).

    Encryption uses [cryptographic salt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_(cryptography)),
    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.

    [File content](#file-encryption) encryption is performed using
    [NaCl SecretBox](https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/crypto/nacl/secretbox),
    based on XSalsa20 cipher and Poly1305 for integrity.
    [Names](#name-encryption) (file- and directory names) are also encrypted
    by default, but this has some implications and is therefore
    possible to be turned off.

    ## Configuration

    Here is an example of how to make a remote called `secret`.

    To use `crypt`, first set up the underlying remote. Follow the
    `rclone config` instructions for the specific backend.

    Before configuring the crypt remote, check the underlying remote is
    working. In this example the underlying remote is called `remote`.
    We will configure a path `path` within this remote to contain the
    encrypted content. Anything inside `remote:path` will be encrypted
    and anything outside will not.

    Configure `crypt` using `rclone config`. In this example the `crypt`
    remote is called `secret`, to differentiate it from the underlying
    `remote`.

    When you are done you can use the crypt remote named `secret` just
    as you would with any other remote, e.g. `rclone copy D:\docs secret:\docs`,
    and rclone will encrypt and decrypt as needed on the fly.
    If you access the wrapped remote `remote:path` 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.

    **Important** The crypt password stored in `rclone.conf` is lightly
    obscured. That only protects it from cursory inspection. It is not
    secure unless [configuration encryption](https://rclone.org/docs/#configuration-encryption) of `rclone.conf` is specified.

    A long passphrase is recommended, or `rclone config` can generate a
    random one.

    The obscured password is created using AES-CTR with a static key. The
    salt is stored verbatim at the beginning of the obscured password. This
    static key is shared between all versions of rclone.

    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.

    Rclone does not encrypt

      * file length - this can be calculated within 16 bytes
      * modification time - used for syncing

    ### Specifying the remote

    When configuring the remote to encrypt/decrypt, you may specify any
    string that rclone accepts as a source/destination of other commands.

    The primary use case is to specify the path into an already configured
    remote (e.g. `remote:path/to/dir` or `remote:bucket`), such that
    data in a remote untrusted location can be stored encrypted.

    You may also specify a local filesystem path, such as
    `/path/to/dir` on Linux, `C:\path\to\dir` 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.

    **Note**: A string which do not contain a `:` will by rclone be treated
    as a relative path in the local filesystem. For example, if you enter
    the name `remote` without the trailing `:`, it will be treated as
    a subdirectory of the current directory with name "remote".

    If a path `remote:path/to/dir` is specified, rclone stores encrypted
    files in `path/to/dir` on the remote. With file name encryption, files
    saved to `secret:subdir/subfile` are stored in the unencrypted path
    `path/to/dir` but the `subdir/subpath` element is encrypted.

    The path you specify does not have to exist, rclone will create
    it when needed.

    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 (`s3:bucket`).
    If wrapping around the entire root of the storage (`s3:`), and use the
    optional file name encryption, rclone will encrypt the bucket name.

    ### Changing password

    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.

    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.

    **Note**: 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 *not* affected by this issue.
    See [issue #4783](https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/4783) for more
    details, and a tool you can use to check if you are affected.

    ### Example

    Create the following file structure using "standard" file name
    encryption.

plaintext/ ├── file0.txt ├── file1.txt └── subdir ├── file2.txt ├──
file3.txt └── subsubdir └── file4.txt


    Copy these to the remote, and list them

$ 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


    The crypt remote looks like

$ rclone -q ls remote:path 55 hagjclgavj2mbiqm6u6cnjjqcg 54
v05749mltvv1tf4onltun46gls 57
86vhrsv86mpbtd3a0akjuqslj8/dlj7fkq4kdq72emafg7a7s41uo 58
86vhrsv86mpbtd3a0akjuqslj8/7uu829995du6o42n32otfhjqp4/b9pausrfansjth5ob3jkdqd4lc
56 86vhrsv86mpbtd3a0akjuqslj8/8njh1sk437gttmep3p70g81aps


    The directory structure is preserved

$ rclone -q ls secret:subdir 8 file2.txt 9 file3.txt 10
subsubdir/file4.txt


    Without file name encryption `.bin` extensions are added to underlying
    names. This prevents the cloud provider attempting to interpret file
    content.

$ 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


    ### File name encryption modes

    Off

      * doesn't hide file names or directory structure
      * allows for longer file names (~246 characters)
      * can use sub paths and copy single files

    Standard

      * file names encrypted
      * file names can't be as long (~143 characters)
      * can use sub paths and copy single files
      * directory structure visible
      * identical files names will have identical uploaded names
      * can use shortcuts to shorten the directory recursion

    Obfuscation

    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".

    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.

    There is a possibility with some unicode based filenames that the
    obfuscation is weak and may map lower case characters to upper case
    equivalents.

    Obfuscation cannot be relied upon for strong protection.

      * file names very lightly obfuscated
      * file names can be longer than standard encryption
      * can use sub paths and copy single files
      * directory structure visible
      * identical files names will have identical uploaded names

    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 less than 156
    characters in length issues should not be encountered, irrespective of
    cloud storage provider.

    An experimental advanced option `filename_encoding` is now provided to
    address this problem to a certain degree.
    For cloud storage systems with case sensitive file names (e.g. Google Drive),
    `base64` 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), `base32768` can be used to drastically reduce
    file name length. 

    An alternative, future rclone file name encryption mode may tolerate
    backend provider path length limits.

    ### Directory name encryption

    Crypt offers the option of encrypting dir names or leaving them intact.
    There are two options:

    True

    Encrypts the whole file path including directory names
    Example:
    `1/12/123.txt` is encrypted to
    `p0e52nreeaj0a5ea7s64m4j72s/l42g6771hnv3an9cgc8cr2n1ng/qgm4avr35m5loi1th53ato71v0`

    False

    Only encrypts file names, skips directory names
    Example:
    `1/12/123.txt` is encrypted to
    `1/12/qgm4avr35m5loi1th53ato71v0`


    ### Modified time and hashes

    Crypt stores modification times using the underlying remote so support
    depends on that.

    Hashes are not stored for crypt. However the data integrity is
    protected by an extremely strong crypto authenticator.

    Use the `rclone cryptcheck` command to check the
    integrity of an encrypted remote instead of `rclone check` which can't
    check the checksums properly.


    ### Standard options

    Here are the Standard options specific to crypt (Encrypt/Decrypt a remote).

    #### --crypt-remote

    Remote to encrypt/decrypt.

    Normally should contain a ':' and a path, e.g. "myremote:path/to/dir",
    "myremote:bucket" or maybe "myremote:" (not recommended).

    Properties:

    - Config:      remote
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CRYPT_REMOTE
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    true

    #### --crypt-filename-encryption

    How to encrypt the filenames.

    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CRYPT_FILENAME_ENCRYPTION
    - Type:        string
    - Default:     "standard"
    - Examples:
        - "standard"
            - Encrypt the filenames.
            - See the docs for the details.
        - "obfuscate"
            - Very simple filename obfuscation.
        - "off"
            - Don't encrypt the file names.
            - Adds a ".bin", or "suffix" extension only.

    #### --crypt-directory-name-encryption

    Option to either encrypt directory names or leave them intact.

    NB If filename_encryption is "off" then this option will do nothing.

    Properties:

    - Config:      directory_name_encryption
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CRYPT_DIRECTORY_NAME_ENCRYPTION
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     true
    - Examples:
        - "true"
            - Encrypt directory names.
        - "false"
            - Don't encrypt directory names, leave them intact.

    #### --crypt-password

    Password or pass phrase for encryption.

    **NB** Input to this must be obscured - see [rclone obscure](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_obscure/).

    Properties:

    - Config:      password
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CRYPT_PASSWORD
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    true

    #### --crypt-password2

    Password or pass phrase for salt.

    Properties:

    - Config:      password2
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CRYPT_PASSWORD2
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    ### Advanced options

    Here are the Advanced options specific to crypt (Encrypt/Decrypt a remote).

    #### --crypt-server-side-across-configs

    Deprecated: use --server-side-across-configs instead.

    Allow server-side operations (e.g. copy) to work across different crypt configs.

    Normally this option is not what you want, but if you have two crypts
    pointing to the same backend you can use it.

    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.

    Properties:

    - Config:      server_side_across_configs
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CRYPT_SERVER_SIDE_ACROSS_CONFIGS
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --crypt-show-mapping

    For all files listed show how the names encrypt.

    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.

    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.

    Properties:

    - Config:      show_mapping
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CRYPT_SHOW_MAPPING
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --crypt-no-data-encryption

    Option to either encrypt file data or leave it unencrypted.

    Properties:

    - Config:      no_data_encryption
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CRYPT_NO_DATA_ENCRYPTION
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false
    - Examples:
        - "true"
            - Don't encrypt file data, leave it unencrypted.
        - "false"
            - Encrypt file data.

    #### --crypt-pass-bad-blocks

    If set this will pass bad blocks through as all 0.

    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.

    Properties:

    - Config:      pass_bad_blocks
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CRYPT_PASS_BAD_BLOCKS
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --crypt-filename-encoding

    How to encode the encrypted filename to text string.

    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.

    Properties:

    - Config:      filename_encoding
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CRYPT_FILENAME_ENCODING
    - Type:        string
    - Default:     "base32"
    - Examples:
        - "base32"
            - Encode using base32. Suitable for all remote.
        - "base64"
            - Encode using base64. Suitable for case sensitive remote.
        - "base32768"
            - Encode using base32768. Suitable if your remote counts UTF-16 or
            - Unicode codepoint instead of UTF-8 byte length. (Eg. Onedrive, Dropbox)

    #### --crypt-suffix

    If this is set it will override the default suffix of ".bin".

    Setting suffix to "none" will result in an empty suffix. This may be useful 
    when the path length is critical.

    Properties:

    - Config:      suffix
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_CRYPT_SUFFIX
    - Type:        string
    - Default:     ".bin"

    ### Metadata

    Any metadata supported by the underlying remote is read and written.

    See the [metadata](https://rclone.org/docs/#metadata) docs for more info.

    ## Backend commands

    Here are the commands specific to the crypt backend.

    Run them with

        rclone backend COMMAND remote:

    The help below will explain what arguments each command takes.

    See the [backend](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_backend/) command for more
    info on how to pass options and arguments.

    These can be run on a running backend using the rc command
    [backend/command](https://rclone.org/rc/#backend-command).

    ### encode

    Encode the given filename(s)

        rclone backend encode remote: [options] [<arguments>+]

    This encodes the filenames given as arguments returning a list of
    strings of the encoded results.

    Usage Example:

        rclone backend encode crypt: file1 [file2...]
        rclone rc backend/command command=encode fs=crypt: file1 [file2...]


    ### decode

    Decode the given filename(s)

        rclone backend decode remote: [options] [<arguments>+]

    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.

    Usage Example:

        rclone backend decode crypt: encryptedfile1 [encryptedfile2...]
        rclone rc backend/command command=decode fs=crypt: encryptedfile1 [encryptedfile2...]




    ## Backing up an encrypted remote

    If you wish to backup an encrypted remote, it is recommended that you use
    `rclone sync` on the encrypted files, and make sure the passwords are
    the same in the new encrypted remote.

    This will have the following advantages

      * `rclone sync` will check the checksums while copying
      * you can use `rclone check` between the encrypted remotes
      * you don't decrypt and encrypt unnecessarily

    For example, let's say you have your original remote at `remote:` with
    the encrypted version at `eremote:` with path `remote:crypt`.  You
    would then set up the new remote `remote2:` and then the encrypted
    version `eremote2:` with path `remote2:crypt` using the same passwords
    as `eremote:`.

    To sync the two remotes you would do

        rclone sync --interactive remote:crypt remote2:crypt

    And to check the integrity you would do

        rclone check remote:crypt remote2:crypt

    ## File formats

    ### File encryption

    Files are encrypted 1:1 source file to destination object.  The file
    has a header and is divided into chunks.

    #### Header

      * 8 bytes magic string `RCLONE\x00\x00`
      * 24 bytes Nonce (IV)

    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 re-used 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.

    #### Chunk

    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.

    Each chunk contains:

      * 16 Bytes of Poly1305 authenticator
      * 1 - 65536 bytes XSalsa20 encrypted data

    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.

    This uses a 32 byte (256 bit key) key derived from the user password.

    #### Examples

    1 byte file will encrypt to

      * 32 bytes header
      * 17 bytes data chunk

    49 bytes total

    1 MiB (1048576 bytes) file will encrypt to

      * 32 bytes header
      * 16 chunks of 65568 bytes

    1049120 bytes total (a 0.05% overhead). This is the overhead for big
    files.

    ### Name encryption

    File names are encrypted segment by segment - the path is broken up
    into `/` separated strings and these are encrypted individually.

    File segments are padded using PKCS#7 to a multiple of 16 bytes
    before encryption.

    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.

    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.

    This means that

      * filenames with the same name will encrypt the same
      * filenames which start the same won't have a common prefix

    This uses a 32 byte key (256 bits) and a 16 byte (128 bits) IV both of
    which are derived from the user password.

    After encryption they are written out using a modified version of
    standard `base32` encoding as described in RFC4648.  The standard
    encoding is modified in two ways:

      * it becomes lower case (no-one likes upper case filenames!)
      * we strip the padding character `=`

    `base32` is used rather than the more efficient `base64` so rclone can be
    used on case insensitive remotes (e.g. Windows, Amazon Drive).

    ### Key derivation

    Rclone uses `scrypt` with parameters `N=16384, r=8, p=1` 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.

    `scrypt` makes it impractical to mount a dictionary attack on rclone
    encrypted data.  For full protection against this you should always use
    a salt.

    #  Compress

    ## Warning

    This remote is currently **experimental**. Things may break and data may be lost. Anything you do with this remote is
    at your own risk. Please understand the risks associated with using experimental code and don't use this remote in
    critical applications.

    The `Compress` remote adds compression to another remote. It is best used with remotes containing
    many large compressible files.

    ## Configuration

    To use this remote, all you need to do is specify another remote and a compression mode to use:

Current remotes:

Name Type ==== ==== remote_to_press sometype

e)  Edit existing remote $ rclone config
f)  New remote
g)  Delete remote
h)  Rename remote
i)  Copy remote
j)  Set configuration password
k)  Quit config e/n/d/r/c/s/q> n name> compress ... 8 / Compress a
    remote  "compress" ... Storage> compress ** See help for compress
    backend at: https://rclone.org/compress/ **

Remote to compress. Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default
(""). remote> remote_to_press:subdir Compression mode. Enter a string
value. Press Enter for the default ("gzip"). Choose a number from below,
or type in your own value 1 / Gzip compression balanced for speed and
compression strength.  "gzip" compression_mode> gzip Edit advanced
config? (y/n) y) Yes n) No (default) y/n> n Remote config
-------------------- [compress] type = compress remote =
remote_to_press:subdir compression_mode = gzip -------------------- y)
Yes this is OK (default) e) Edit this remote d) Delete this remote
y/e/d> y


    ### Compression Modes

    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.

    ### File types

    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 **not** manually delete or rename files. Files without
    correct metadata files will not be recognized by rclone.

    ### File names

    The compressed files will be named `*.###########.gz` where `*` is the base file and the `#` part is base64 encoded 
    size of the uncompressed file. The file names should not be changed by anything other than the rclone compression backend.

    - Default:     "gzip"
    - Examples:
        - "gzip"
            - Standard gzip compression with fastest parameters.

    ### Advanced options

    Here are the Advanced options specific to compress (Compress a remote).

    #### --compress-level

    GZIP compression level (-2 to 9).

    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.

    Level -2 uses Huffman encoding only. Only use if you know what you
    are doing.
    Level 0 turns off compression.

    Properties:

    - Config:      level
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_COMPRESS_LEVEL
    - Type:        int
    - Default:     -1

    #### --compress-ram-cache-limit

    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.

    Files smaller than this limit will be cached in RAM, files larger than 
    this limit will be cached on disk.

    Properties:

    - Config:      ram_cache_limit
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_COMPRESS_RAM_CACHE_LIMIT
    - Type:        SizeSuffix
    - Default:     20Mi

    ### Metadata

    Any metadata supported by the underlying remote is read and written.

    See the [metadata](https://rclone.org/docs/#metadata) docs for more info.



    #  Combine

    The `combine` backend joins remotes together into a single directory
    tree.

    For example you might have a remote for images on one provider:

$ rclone tree s3:imagesbucket / ├── image1.jpg └── image2.jpg


    And a remote for files on another:

$ rclone tree drive:important/files / ├── file1.txt └── file2.txt


    The `combine` backend can join these together into a synthetic
    directory structure like this:

$ rclone tree combined: / ├── files │ ├── file1.txt │ └── file2.txt └──
images ├── image1.jpg └── image2.jpg


    You'd do this by specifying an `upstreams` parameter in the config
    like this

        upstreams = images=s3:imagesbucket files=drive:important/files

    During the initial setup with `rclone config` you will specify the
    upstreams remotes as a space separated list. The upstream remotes can
    either be a local paths or other remotes.

    ## Configuration

    Here is an example of how to make a combine called `remote` for the
    example above. First run:

         rclone config

    This will guide you through an interactive setup process:

No remotes found, make a new one? n) New remote s) Set configuration
password q) Quit config n/s/q> n name> remote Option Storage. Type of
storage to configure. Choose a number from below, or type in your own
value. ... XX / Combine several remotes into one  (combine) ... Storage>
combine Option upstreams. Upstreams for combining These should be in the
form dir=remote:path dir2=remote2:path Where before the = is specified
the root directory and after is the remote to put there. Embedded spaces
can be added using quotes "dir=remote:path with space"
"dir2=remote2:path with space" Enter a fs.SpaceSepList value. upstreams>
images=s3:imagesbucket files=drive:important/files --------------------
[remote] type = combine upstreams = images=s3:imagesbucket
files=drive:important/files -------------------- y) Yes this is OK
(default) e) Edit this remote d) Delete this remote y/e/d> y


    ### Configuring for Google Drive Shared Drives

    Rclone has a convenience feature for making a combine backend for all
    the shared drives you have access to.

    Assuming your main (non shared drive) Google drive remote is called
    `drive:` you would run

        rclone backend -o config drives drive:

    This would produce something like this:

        [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 = "My Drive=My Drive:" "Test Drive=Test Drive:"

    If you then add that config to your config file (find it with `rclone
    config file`) then you can access all the shared drives in one place
    with the `AllDrives:` remote.

    See [the Google Drive docs](https://rclone.org/drive/#drives) for full info.


    ### Standard options

    Here are the Standard options specific to combine (Combine several remotes into one).

    #### --combine-upstreams

    Upstreams for combining

    These should be in the form

        dir=remote:path dir2=remote2:path

    Where before the = is specified the root directory and after is the remote to
    put there.

    Embedded spaces can be added using quotes

        "dir=remote:path with space" "dir2=remote2:path with space"



    Properties:

    - Config:      upstreams
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_COMBINE_UPSTREAMS
    - Type:        SpaceSepList
    - Default:     

    ### Metadata

    Any metadata supported by the underlying remote is read and written.

    See the [metadata](https://rclone.org/docs/#metadata) docs for more info.



    #  Dropbox

    Paths are specified as `remote:path`

    Dropbox paths may be as deep as required, e.g.
    `remote:directory/subdirectory`.

    ## Configuration

    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:

         rclone config

    This will guide you through an interactive setup process:

n)  New remote
o)  Delete remote
p)  Quit config e/n/d/q> n name> remote Type of storage to configure.
    Choose a number from below, or type in your own value [snip] XX /
    Dropbox  "dropbox" [snip] Storage> dropbox Dropbox App Key - leave
    blank normally. app_key> Dropbox App Secret - leave blank normally.
    app_secret> Remote config Please visit:
    https://www.dropbox.com/1/oauth2/authorize?client_id=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&response_type=code
    Enter the code: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX_XXXXXXXXXX
    -------------------- [remote] app_key = app_secret = token =
    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX_XXXX_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
    --------------------
q)  Yes this is OK
r)  Edit this remote
s)  Delete this remote y/e/d> y


    See the [remote setup docs](https://rclone.org/remote_setup/) 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 Dropbox. 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 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 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

    ### Dropbox for business

    Rclone supports Dropbox for business and Team Folders.

    When using Dropbox for business `remote:` and `remote:path/to/file`
    will refer to your personal folder.

    If you wish to see Team Folders you must use a leading `/` in the
    path, so `rclone lsd remote:/` will refer to the root and show you all
    Team Folders and your User Folder.

    You can then use team folders like this `remote:/TeamFolder` and
    `remote:/TeamFolder/path/to/file`.

    A leading `/` for a Dropbox personal account will do nothing, but it
    will take an extra HTTP transaction so it should be avoided.

    ### Modified time and Hashes

    Dropbox supports modified times, but the only way to set a
    modification time is to re-upload the file.

    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 `--size-only` or `--checksum` flag
    to stop it.

    Dropbox supports [its own hash
    type](https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/content-hash) which
    is checked for all transfers.

    ### Restricted filename characters

    | Character | Value | Replacement |
    | --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
    | NUL       | 0x00  | ␀           |
    | /         | 0x2F  | ／           |
    | DEL       | 0x7F  | ␡           |
    | \         | 0x5C  | ＼           |

    File names can also not end with the following characters.
    These only get replaced if they are the last character in the name:

    | Character | Value | Replacement |
    | --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
    | SP        | 0x20  | ␠           |

    Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be [replaced](https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8),
    as they can't be used in JSON strings.

    ### Batch mode uploads {#batch-mode}

    Using batch mode uploads is very important for performance when using
    the Dropbox API. See [the dropbox performance guide](https://developers.dropbox.com/dbx-performance-guide)
    for more info.

    There are 3 modes rclone can use for uploads.

    #### --dropbox-batch-mode off

    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 `too_many_requests` errors like this

        NOTICE: too_many_requests/.: Too many requests or write operations. Trying again in 15 seconds.

    When rclone receives these it has to wait for 15s or sometimes 300s
    before continuing which really slows down transfers.

    This will happen especially if `--transfers` is large, so this mode
    isn't recommended except for compatibility or investigating problems.

    #### --dropbox-batch-mode sync

    In this mode rclone will batch up uploads to the size specified by
    `--dropbox-batch-size` and commit them together.

    Using this mode means you can use a much higher `--transfers`
    parameter (32 or 64 works fine) without receiving `too_many_requests`
    errors.

    This mode ensures full data integrity.

    Note that there may be a pause when quitting rclone while rclone
    finishes up the last batch using this mode.

    #### --dropbox-batch-mode async

    In this mode rclone will batch up uploads to the size specified by
    `--dropbox-batch-size` and commit them together.

    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 `--transfers`), at the cost of not being able to check the
    status of the upload.

    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.

    If you are using this mode then using "rclone check" after the
    transfer completes is recommended. Or you could do an initial transfer
    with `--dropbox-batch-mode async` then do a final transfer with
    `--dropbox-batch-mode sync` (the default).

    Note that there may be a pause when quitting rclone while rclone
    finishes up the last batch using this mode.



    ### Standard options

    Here are the Standard options specific to dropbox (Dropbox).

    #### --dropbox-client-id

    OAuth Client Id.

    Leave blank normally.

    Properties:

    - Config:      client_id
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DROPBOX_CLIENT_ID
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --dropbox-client-secret

    OAuth Client Secret.

    Leave blank normally.

    Properties:

    - Config:      client_secret
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DROPBOX_CLIENT_SECRET
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    ### Advanced options

    Here are the Advanced options specific to dropbox (Dropbox).

    #### --dropbox-token

    OAuth Access Token as a JSON blob.

    Properties:

    - Config:      token
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DROPBOX_TOKEN
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --dropbox-auth-url

    Auth server URL.

    Leave blank to use the provider defaults.

    Properties:

    - Config:      auth_url
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DROPBOX_AUTH_URL
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --dropbox-token-url

    Token server url.

    Leave blank to use the provider defaults.

    Properties:

    - Config:      token_url
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DROPBOX_TOKEN_URL
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --dropbox-chunk-size

    Upload chunk size (< 150Mi).

    Any files larger than this will be uploaded in chunks of this size.

    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.

    Properties:

    - Config:      chunk_size
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DROPBOX_CHUNK_SIZE
    - Type:        SizeSuffix
    - Default:     48Mi

    #### --dropbox-impersonate

    Impersonate this user when using a business account.

    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.

    Using the "members.read" scope will require a Dropbox Team Admin
    to approve during the OAuth flow.

    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.


    Properties:

    - Config:      impersonate
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DROPBOX_IMPERSONATE
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --dropbox-shared-files

    Instructs rclone to work on individual shared files.

    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.

    Properties:

    - Config:      shared_files
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DROPBOX_SHARED_FILES
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --dropbox-shared-folders

    Instructs rclone to work on shared folders.
                
    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. 

    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.

    Properties:

    - Config:      shared_folders
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DROPBOX_SHARED_FOLDERS
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --dropbox-batch-mode

    Upload file batching sync|async|off.

    This sets the batch mode used by rclone.

    For full info see [the main docs](https://rclone.org/dropbox/#batch-mode)

    This has 3 possible values

    - off - no batching
    - sync - batch uploads and check completion (default)
    - async - batch upload and don't check completion

    Rclone will close any outstanding batches when it exits which may make
    a delay on quit.


    Properties:

    - Config:      batch_mode
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DROPBOX_BATCH_MODE
    - Type:        string
    - Default:     "sync"

    #### --dropbox-batch-size

    Max number of files in upload batch.

    This sets the batch size of files to upload. It has to be less than 1000.

    By default this is 0 which means rclone which calculate the batch size
    depending on the setting of batch_mode.

    - batch_mode: async - default batch_size is 100
    - batch_mode: sync - default batch_size is the same as --transfers
    - batch_mode: off - not in use

    Rclone will close any outstanding batches when it exits which may make
    a delay on quit.

    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.


    Properties:

    - Config:      batch_size
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DROPBOX_BATCH_SIZE
    - Type:        int
    - Default:     0

    #### --dropbox-batch-timeout

    Max time to allow an idle upload batch before uploading.

    If an upload batch is idle for more than this long then it will be
    uploaded.

    The default for this is 0 which means rclone will choose a sensible
    default based on the batch_mode in use.

    - batch_mode: async - default batch_timeout is 10s
    - batch_mode: sync - default batch_timeout is 500ms
    - batch_mode: off - not in use


    Properties:

    - Config:      batch_timeout
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DROPBOX_BATCH_TIMEOUT
    - Type:        Duration
    - Default:     0s

    #### --dropbox-batch-commit-timeout

    Max time to wait for a batch to finish committing

    Properties:

    - Config:      batch_commit_timeout
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DROPBOX_BATCH_COMMIT_TIMEOUT
    - Type:        Duration
    - Default:     10m0s

    #### --dropbox-pacer-min-sleep

    Minimum time to sleep between API calls.

    Properties:

    - Config:      pacer_min_sleep
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DROPBOX_PACER_MIN_SLEEP
    - Type:        Duration
    - Default:     10ms

    #### --dropbox-encoding

    The encoding for the backend.

    See the [encoding section in the overview](https://rclone.org/overview/#encoding) for more info.

    Properties:

    - Config:      encoding
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DROPBOX_ENCODING
    - Type:        MultiEncoder
    - Default:     Slash,BackSlash,Del,RightSpace,InvalidUtf8,Dot



    ## 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](https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/145).  Rclone will
    issue an error message `File name disallowed - not uploading` if it
    attempts to upload one of those file names, but the sync won't fail.

    Some errors may occur if you try to sync copyright-protected files
    because Dropbox has its own [copyright detector](https://techcrunch.com/2014/03/30/how-dropbox-knows-when-youre-sharing-copyrighted-stuff-without-actually-looking-at-your-stuff/) that
    prevents this sort of file being downloaded. This will return the error `ERROR :
    /path/to/your/file: Failed to copy: failed to open source object:
    path/restricted_content/.`

    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 dropbox:dir` followed by an `rclone rmdir dropbox:dir`.

    When using `rclone link` you'll need to set `--expire` if using a
    non-personal account otherwise the visibility may not be correct.
    (Note that `--expire` isn't supported on personal accounts). See the
    [forum discussion](https://forum.rclone.org/t/rclone-link-dropbox-permissions/23211) and the 
    [dropbox SDK issue](https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-go-unofficial/issues/75).

    ## Get your own Dropbox App ID

    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.

    Here is how to create your own Dropbox App ID for rclone:

    1. Log into the [Dropbox App console](https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps/create) with your Dropbox Account (It need not
    to be the same account as the Dropbox you want to access)

    2. Choose an API => Usually this should be `Dropbox API`

    3. Choose the type of access you want to use => `Full Dropbox` or `App Folder`. If you want to use Team Folders, `Full Dropbox` is required ([see here](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)).

    4. Name your App. The app name is global, so you can't use `rclone` for example

    5. Click the button `Create App`

    6. Switch to the `Permissions` tab. Enable at least the following permissions: `account_info.read`, `files.metadata.write`, `files.content.write`, `files.content.read`, `sharing.write`. The `files.metadata.read` and `sharing.read` checkboxes will be marked too. Click `Submit`

    7. Switch to the `Settings` tab. Fill `OAuth2 - Redirect URIs` as `http://localhost:53682/` and click on `Add`

    8. Find the `App key` and `App secret` values on the `Settings` tab. Use these values in rclone config to add a new remote or edit an existing remote. The `App key` setting corresponds to `client_id` in rclone config, the `App secret` corresponds to `client_secret`

    #  Enterprise File Fabric

    This backend supports [Storage Made Easy's Enterprise File
    Fabric™](https://storagemadeeasy.com/about/) which provides a software
    solution to integrate and unify File and Object Storage accessible
    through a global file system.

    ## Configuration

    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.  `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:

No remotes found, make a new one? n) New remote s) Set configuration
password q) Quit config n/s/q> n name> remote Type of storage to
configure. Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default ("").

A Permanent Authentication Token can be created in the Enterprise File
Fabric, on the users Dashboard under Security, there is an entry you'll
see called "My Authentication Tokens". Click the Manage button to create
one.

These tokens are normally valid for several years.

    Once configured you can then use `rclone` like this,

    List directories in top level of your Enterprise File Fabric

        rclone lsd remote:

    List all the files in your Enterprise File Fabric

        rclone ls remote:

    To copy a local directory to an Enterprise File Fabric directory called backup

        rclone copy /home/source remote:backup

    ### Modified time and hashes

    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.

    The Enterprise File Fabric does not support any data hashes at this time.

    ### Restricted filename characters

    The [default restricted characters set](https://rclone.org/overview/#restricted-characters)
    will be replaced.

    Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be [replaced](https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8),
    as they can't be used in JSON strings.

    ### Empty files

    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
    `application/vnd.rclone.empty.file` and files with that mime type are
    treated as empty.

    ### Root folder ID ###

    You can set the `root_folder_id` for rclone.  This is the directory
    (identified by its `Folder ID`) that rclone considers to be the root
    of your Enterprise File Fabric.

    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.

    In order to do this you will have to find the `Folder ID` of the
    directory you wish rclone to display.  These aren't displayed in the
    web interface, but you can use `rclone lsf` to find them, for example

$ rclone lsf --dirs-only -Fip --csv filefabric: 120673758,Burnt PDFs/
120673759,My Quick Uploads/ 120673755,My Syncs/ 120673756,My backups/
120673757,My contacts/ 120673761,S3 Storage/


    The ID for "S3 Storage" would be `120673761`.

    #  FTP

    FTP is the File Transfer Protocol. Rclone FTP support is provided using the
    [github.com/jlaffaye/ftp](https://godoc.org/github.com/jlaffaye/ftp)
    package.

    [Limitations of Rclone's FTP backend](#limitations)

    Paths are specified as `remote:path`. If the path does not begin with
    a `/` it is relative to the home directory of the user.  An empty path
    `remote:` refers to the user's home directory.

    ## Configuration

    To create an FTP configuration named `remote`, run

        rclone config

    Rclone config guides you through an interactive setup process. A minimal
    rclone FTP remote definition only requires host, username and password.
    For an anonymous FTP server, see [below](#anonymous-ftp).

No remotes found, make a new one? n) New remote r) Rename remote c) Copy
remote s) Set configuration password q) Quit config n/r/c/s/q> n name>

-------------------- y) Yes this is OK e) Edit this remote d) Delete
this remote y/e/d> y


    To see all directories in the home directory of `remote`

        rclone lsd remote:

    Make a new directory

        rclone mkdir remote:path/to/directory

    List the contents of a directory

        rclone ls remote:path/to/directory

    Sync `/home/local/directory` to the remote directory, deleting any
    excess files in the directory.

        rclone sync --interactive /home/local/directory remote:directory

    ### Anonymous FTP

    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.

    Using [on-the-fly](#backend-path-to-dir) or
    [connection string](https://rclone.org/docs/#connection-strings) remotes makes it easy to access
    such servers, without requiring any configuration in advance. The following
    are examples of that:

        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):

    The above examples work in Linux shells and in PowerShell, but not Windows
    Command Prompt. They execute the [rclone obscure](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_obscure/)
    command to create a password string in the format required by the
    [pass](#ftp-pass) 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:

        rclone lsf :ftp: --ftp-host=speedtest.tele2.net --ftp-user=anonymous --ftp-pass=IXs2wc8OJOz7SYLBk47Ji1rHTmxM
        rclone lsf :ftp,host=speedtest.tele2.net,user=anonymous,pass=IXs2wc8OJOz7SYLBk47Ji1rHTmxM:

    ### Implicit TLS

    Rlone FTP supports implicit FTP over TLS servers (FTPS). This has to
    be enabled in the FTP backend config for the remote, or with
    [`--ftp-tls`](#ftp-tls). The default FTPS port is `990`, not `21` and
    can be set with [`--ftp-port`](#ftp-port).

    ### Restricted filename characters

    In addition to the [default restricted characters set](https://rclone.org/overview/#restricted-characters)
    the following characters are also replaced:

    File names cannot end with the following characters. Replacement is
    limited to the last character in a file name:

    | Character | Value | Replacement |
    | --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
    | SP        | 0x20  | ␠           |

    Not all FTP servers can have all characters in file names, for example:

    | FTP Server| Forbidden characters |
    | --------- |:--------------------:|
    | proftpd   | `*`                  |
    | pureftpd  | `\ [ ]`              |

    This backend's interactive configuration wizard provides a selection of
    sensible encoding settings for major FTP servers: ProFTPd, PureFTPd, VsFTPd.
    Just hit a selection number when prompted.


    ### Standard options

    Here are the Standard options specific to ftp (FTP).

    #### --ftp-host

    FTP host to connect to.

    E.g. "ftp.example.com".

    Properties:

    - Config:      host
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_FTP_HOST
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    true

    #### --ftp-user

    FTP username.

    Properties:

    - Config:      user
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_FTP_USER
    - Type:        string
    - Default:     "$USER"

    #### --ftp-port

    FTP port number.

    Properties:

    - Config:      port
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_FTP_PORT
    - Type:        int
    - Default:     21

    #### --ftp-pass

    FTP password.

    **NB** Input to this must be obscured - see [rclone obscure](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_obscure/).

    Properties:

    - Config:      pass
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_FTP_PASS
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --ftp-tls

    Use Implicit FTPS (FTP over TLS).

    When using implicit FTP over TLS the client connects using TLS
    right from the start which breaks compatibility with
    non-TLS-aware servers. This is usually served over port 990 rather
    than port 21. Cannot be used in combination with explicit FTPS.

    Properties:

    - Config:      tls
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_FTP_TLS
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --ftp-explicit-tls

    Use Explicit FTPS (FTP over TLS).

    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.

    Properties:

    - Config:      explicit_tls
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_FTP_EXPLICIT_TLS
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    ### Advanced options

    Here are the Advanced options specific to ftp (FTP).

    #### --ftp-concurrency

    Maximum number of FTP simultaneous connections, 0 for unlimited.

    Note that setting this is very likely to cause deadlocks so it should
    be used with care.

    If you are doing a sync or copy then make sure concurrency is one more
    than the sum of `--transfers` and `--checkers`.

    If you use `--check-first` then it just needs to be one more than the
    maximum of `--checkers` and `--transfers`.

    So for `concurrency 3` you'd use `--checkers 2 --transfers 2
    --check-first` or `--checkers 1 --transfers 1`.



    Properties:

    - Config:      concurrency
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_FTP_CONCURRENCY
    - Type:        int
    - Default:     0

    #### --ftp-no-check-certificate

    Do not verify the TLS certificate of the server.

    Properties:

    - Config:      no_check_certificate
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_FTP_NO_CHECK_CERTIFICATE
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --ftp-disable-epsv

    Disable using EPSV even if server advertises support.

    Properties:

    - Config:      disable_epsv
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_FTP_DISABLE_EPSV
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --ftp-disable-mlsd

    Disable using MLSD even if server advertises support.

    Properties:

    - Config:      disable_mlsd
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_FTP_DISABLE_MLSD
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --ftp-disable-utf8

    Disable using UTF-8 even if server advertises support.

    Properties:

    - Config:      disable_utf8
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_FTP_DISABLE_UTF8
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --ftp-writing-mdtm

    Use MDTM to set modification time (VsFtpd quirk)

    Properties:

    - Config:      writing_mdtm
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_FTP_WRITING_MDTM
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --ftp-force-list-hidden

    Use LIST -a to force listing of hidden files and folders. This will disable the use of MLSD.

    Properties:

    - Config:      force_list_hidden
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_FTP_FORCE_LIST_HIDDEN
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --ftp-idle-timeout

    Max time before closing idle connections.

    If no connections have been returned to the connection pool in the time
    given, rclone will empty the connection pool.

    Set to 0 to keep connections indefinitely.


    Properties:

    - Config:      idle_timeout
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_FTP_IDLE_TIMEOUT
    - Type:        Duration
    - Default:     1m0s

    #### --ftp-close-timeout

    Maximum time to wait for a response to close.

    Properties:

    - Config:      close_timeout
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_FTP_CLOSE_TIMEOUT
    - Type:        Duration
    - Default:     1m0s

    #### --ftp-tls-cache-size

    Size of TLS session cache for all control and data connections.

    TLS cache allows to resume TLS sessions and reuse PSK between connections.
    Increase if default size is not enough resulting in TLS resumption errors.
    Enabled by default. Use 0 to disable.

    Properties:

    - Config:      tls_cache_size
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_FTP_TLS_CACHE_SIZE
    - Type:        int
    - Default:     32

    #### --ftp-disable-tls13

    Disable TLS 1.3 (workaround for FTP servers with buggy TLS)

    Properties:

    - Config:      disable_tls13
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_FTP_DISABLE_TLS13
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --ftp-shut-timeout

    Maximum time to wait for data connection closing status.

    Properties:

    - Config:      shut_timeout
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_FTP_SHUT_TIMEOUT
    - Type:        Duration
    - Default:     1m0s

    #### --ftp-ask-password

    Allow asking for FTP password when needed.

    If this is set and no password is supplied then rclone will ask for a password


    Properties:

    - Config:      ask_password
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_FTP_ASK_PASSWORD
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --ftp-socks-proxy

    Socks 5 proxy host.
            
            Supports the format user:pass@host:port, user@host:port, host:port.
            
            Example:
            
                myUser:myPass@localhost:9005
            

    Properties:

    - Config:      socks_proxy
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_FTP_SOCKS_PROXY
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --ftp-encoding

    The encoding for the backend.

    See the [encoding section in the overview](https://rclone.org/overview/#encoding) for more info.

    Properties:

    - Config:      encoding
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_FTP_ENCODING
    - Type:        MultiEncoder
    - Default:     Slash,Del,Ctl,RightSpace,Dot
    - Examples:
        - "Asterisk,Ctl,Dot,Slash"
            - ProFTPd can't handle '*' in file names
        - "BackSlash,Ctl,Del,Dot,RightSpace,Slash,SquareBracket"
            - PureFTPd can't handle '[]' or '*' in file names
        - "Ctl,LeftPeriod,Slash"
            - VsFTPd can't handle file names starting with dot



    ## Limitations

    FTP servers acting as rclone remotes must support `passive` mode.
    The mode cannot be configured as `passive` is the only supported one.
    Rclone's FTP implementation is not compatible with `active` mode
    as [the library it uses doesn't support it](https://github.com/jlaffaye/ftp/issues/29).
    This will likely never be supported due to security concerns.

    Rclone's FTP backend does not support any checksums but can compare
    file sizes.

    `rclone about` is not supported by the FTP backend. Backends without
    this capability cannot determine free space for an rclone mount or
    use policy `mfs` (most free space) as a member of an rclone union
    remote.

    See [List of backends that do not support rclone about](https://rclone.org/overview/#optional-features) and [rclone about](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_about/)

    The implementation of : `--dump headers`,
    `--dump bodies`, `--dump auth` for debugging isn't the same as
    for rclone HTTP based backends - it has less fine grained control.

    `--timeout` isn't supported (but `--contimeout` is).

    `--bind` isn't supported.

    Rclone's FTP backend could support server-side move but does not
    at present.

    The `ftp_proxy` environment variable is not currently supported.

    #### Modified time

    File modification time (timestamps) is supported to 1 second resolution
    for major FTP servers: ProFTPd, PureFTPd, VsFTPd, and FileZilla FTP server.
    The `VsFTPd` server has non-standard implementation of time related protocol
    commands and needs a special configuration setting: `writing_mdtm = true`.

    Support for precise file time with other FTP servers varies depending on what
    protocol extensions they advertise. If all the `MLSD`, `MDTM` and `MFTM`
    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.

    You can use the following command to check whether rclone can use precise time
    with your FTP server: `rclone backend features your_ftp_remote:` (the trailing
    colon is important). Look for the number in the line tagged by `Precision`
    designating the remote time precision expressed as nanoseconds. A value of
    `1000000000` means that file time precision of 1 second is available.
    A value of `3153600000000000000` (or another large number) means "unsupported".

    #  Google Cloud Storage

    Paths are specified as `remote:bucket` (or `remote:` for the `lsd`
    command.)  You may put subdirectories in too, e.g. `remote:bucket/path/to/dir`.

    ## Configuration

    The initial setup for google cloud storage involves getting a token from Google Cloud Storage
    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
o)  Delete remote
p)  Quit config e/n/d/q> n name> remote Type of storage to configure.

    See the [remote setup docs](https://rclone.org/remote_setup/) 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 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 `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.

    This remote is called `remote` and can now be used like this

    See all the buckets in your project

        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 --interactive /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](https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/service-accounts),
    please head to the
    [Service Account](https://console.cloud.google.com/permissions/serviceaccounts)
    section of the Google Developer Console. Service Accounts behave just
    like normal `User` permissions in
    [Google Cloud Storage ACLs](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/access-control),
    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. If you'd rather stuff the contents of the credentials file into
    the rclone config file, you can set `service_account_credentials` with
    the actual contents of the file instead, or set the equivalent
    environment variable.

    ### Anonymous Access

    For downloads of objects that permit public access you can configure rclone
    to use anonymous access by setting `anonymous` to `true`.
    With unauthorized access you can't write or create files but only read or list
    those buckets and objects that have public read access.

    ### Application Default Credentials

    If no other source of credentials is provided, rclone will fall back
    to
    [Application Default Credentials](https://cloud.google.com/video-intelligence/docs/common/auth#authenticating_with_application_default_credentials)
    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 -
    [see this page](https://cloud.google.com/container-registry/docs/advanced-authentication#gcloud_as_a_docker_credential_helper).

    Note that in the case application default credentials are used, there
    is no need to explicitly configure a project number.

    ### --fast-list

    This remote supports `--fast-list` which allows you to use fewer
    transactions in exchange for more memory. See the [rclone
    docs](https://rclone.org/docs/#fast-list) for more details.

    ### Custom upload headers

    You can set custom upload headers with the `--header-upload`
    flag. Google Cloud Storage supports the headers as described in the
    [working with metadata documentation](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/gsutil/addlhelp/WorkingWithObjectMetadata)

    - Cache-Control
    - Content-Disposition
    - Content-Encoding
    - Content-Language
    - Content-Type
    - X-Goog-Storage-Class
    - X-Goog-Meta-

    Eg `--header-upload "Content-Type text/potato"`

    Note that the last of these is for setting custom metadata in the form
    `--header-upload "x-goog-meta-key: value"`

    ### Modification time

    Google Cloud Storage stores md5sum natively.
    Google's [gsutil](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/gsutil) tool stores modification time
    with one-second precision as `goog-reserved-file-mtime` in file metadata.

    To ensure compatibility with gsutil, rclone stores modification time in 2 separate metadata entries.
    `mtime` uses RFC3339 format with one-nanosecond precision.
    `goog-reserved-file-mtime` uses Unix timestamp format with one-second precision.
    To get modification time from object metadata, rclone reads the metadata in the following order: `mtime`, `goog-reserved-file-mtime`, object updated time.

    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 `--modify-window 1s`.

    ### Restricted filename characters

    | Character | Value | Replacement |
    | --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
    | NUL       | 0x00  | ␀           |
    | LF        | 0x0A  | ␊           |
    | CR        | 0x0D  | ␍           |
    | /         | 0x2F  | ／          |

    Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be [replaced](https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8),
    as they can't be used in JSON strings.

    ### Advanced options

    Here are the Advanced options specific to google cloud storage (Google Cloud Storage (this is not Google Drive)).

    #### --gcs-token

    OAuth Access Token as a JSON blob.

    Properties:

    - Config:      token
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_GCS_TOKEN
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --gcs-auth-url

    Auth server URL.

    Leave blank to use the provider defaults.

    Properties:

    - Config:      auth_url
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_GCS_AUTH_URL
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --gcs-token-url

    Token server url.

    Leave blank to use the provider defaults.

    Properties:

    - Config:      token_url
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_GCS_TOKEN_URL
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --gcs-directory-markers

    Upload an empty object with a trailing slash when a new directory is created

    Empty folders are unsupported for bucket based remotes, this option creates an empty
    object ending with "/", to persist the folder.


    Properties:

    - Config:      directory_markers
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_GCS_DIRECTORY_MARKERS
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --gcs-no-check-bucket

    If set, don't attempt to check the bucket exists or create it.

    This can be useful when trying to minimise the number of transactions
    rclone does if you know the bucket exists already.


    Properties:

    - Config:      no_check_bucket
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_GCS_NO_CHECK_BUCKET
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --gcs-decompress

    If set this will decompress gzip encoded objects.

    It is possible to upload objects to GCS with "Content-Encoding: gzip"
    set. Normally rclone will download these files as compressed objects.

    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.


    Properties:

    - Config:      decompress
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_GCS_DECOMPRESS
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --gcs-endpoint

    Endpoint for the service.

    Leave blank normally.

    Properties:

    - Config:      endpoint
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_GCS_ENDPOINT
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --gcs-encoding

    The encoding for the backend.

    See the [encoding section in the overview](https://rclone.org/overview/#encoding) for more info.

    Properties:

    - Config:      encoding
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_GCS_ENCODING
    - Type:        MultiEncoder
    - Default:     Slash,CrLf,InvalidUtf8,Dot



    ## Limitations

    `rclone about` is not supported by the Google Cloud Storage backend. Backends without
    this capability cannot determine free space for an rclone mount or
    use policy `mfs` (most free space) as a member of an rclone union
    remote.

    See [List of backends that do not support rclone about](https://rclone.org/overview/#optional-features) and [rclone about](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_about/)

    #  Google Drive

    Paths are specified as `drive:path`

    Drive paths may be as deep as required, e.g. `drive:directory/subdirectory`.

    ## Configuration

    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:

No remotes found, make a new one? n) New remote r) Rename remote c) Copy
remote s) Set configuration password q) Quit config n/r/c/s/q> n name>
remote Type of storage to configure. Choose a number from below, or type
in your own value [snip] XX / Google Drive  "drive" [snip] Storage>
drive Google Application Client Id - leave blank normally. client_id>
Google Application Client Secret - leave blank normally. client_secret>
Scope that rclone should use when requesting access from drive. Choose a
number from below, or type in your own value 1 / Full access all files,
excluding Application Data Folder.  "drive" 2 / Read-only access to file
metadata and file contents.  "drive.readonly" / Access to files created
by rclone only. 3 | These are visible in the drive website. | File
authorization is revoked when the user deauthorizes the app.
 "drive.file" / Allows read and write access to the Application Data
folder. 4 | This is not visible in the drive website.  "drive.appfolder"
/ Allows read-only access to file metadata but 5 | does not allow any
access to read or download file content.  "drive.metadata.readonly"
scope> 1 Service Account Credentials JSON file path - needed only if you
want use SA instead of interactive login. service_account_file> Remote
config Use web browser to automatically authenticate rclone with remote?
* Say Y if the machine running rclone has a web browser you can use *
Say N if running rclone on a (remote) machine without web browser access
If not sure try Y. If Y failed, try N. 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
Waiting for code... Got code Configure this as a Shared Drive (Team

-------------------- y) Yes this is OK e) Edit this remote d) Delete
this remote y/e/d> y


    See the [remote setup docs](https://rclone.org/remote_setup/) 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 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 `http://127.0.0.1:53682/` and 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

    ### Scopes

    Rclone allows you to select which scope you would like for rclone to
    use.  This changes what type of token is granted to rclone.  [The
    scopes are defined
    here](https://developers.google.com/drive/v3/web/about-auth).

    The scope are

    #### drive

    This is the default scope and allows full access to all files, except
    for the Application Data Folder (see below).

    Choose this one if you aren't sure.

    #### drive.readonly

    This allows read only access to all files.  Files may be listed and
    downloaded but not uploaded, renamed or deleted.

    #### drive.file

    With this scope rclone can read/view/modify only those files and
    folders it creates.

    So if you uploaded files to drive via the web interface (or any other
    means) they will not be visible to rclone.

    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.

    Files created with this scope are visible in the web interface.

    #### drive.appfolder

    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.

    #### drive.metadata.readonly

    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.

    ### Root folder ID

    This option has been moved to the advanced section. You can set the `root_folder_id` for rclone.  This is the directory
    (identified by its `Folder ID`) that rclone considers to be the root
    of your drive.

    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 or to access data within the "Computers" tab on the drive
    web interface (where files from Google's Backup and Sync desktop
    program go).

    In order to do this you will have to find the `Folder ID` 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.

    So if the folder you want rclone to use has a URL which looks like
    `https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1XyfxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxKHCh`
    in the browser, then you use `1XyfxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxKHCh` as
    the `root_folder_id` in the config.

    **NB** folders under the "Computers" tab seem to be read only (drive
    gives a 500 error) when using rclone.

    There doesn't appear to be an API to discover the folder IDs of the
    "Computers" tab - please contact us if you know otherwise!

    Note also that rclone can't access any data under the "Backups" tab on
    the google drive web interface yet.

    ### Service Account support

    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.

    To use a Service Account instead of OAuth2 token flow, enter the path
    to your Service Account credentials at the `service_account_file`
    prompt during `rclone config` 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
    `service_account_credentials` with the actual contents of the file
    instead, or set the equivalent environment variable.

    #### Use case - Google Apps/G-suite account and individual Drive

    Let's say that you are the administrator of a Google Apps (old) or
    G-suite account.
    The goal is to store data on an individual's Drive account, who IS
    a member of the domain.
    We'll call the domain **example.com**, and the user
    **foo@example.com**.

    There's a few steps we need to go through to accomplish this:

    ##### 1. Create a service account for example.com
      - To create a service account and obtain its credentials, go to the
    [Google Developer Console](https://console.developers.google.com).
      - You must have a project - create one if you don't.
      - Then go to "IAM & admin" -> "Service Accounts".
      - Use the "Create Service Account" button. Fill in "Service account name"
    and "Service account ID" with something that identifies your client.
      - Select "Create And Continue". Step 2 and 3 are optional.
      - These credentials are what rclone will use for authentication.
    If you ever need to remove access, press the "Delete service
    account key" button.

    ##### 2. Allowing API access to example.com Google Drive
      - Go to example.com's admin console
      - Go into "Security" (or use the search bar)
      - Select "Show more" and then "Advanced settings"
      - Select "Manage API client access" in the "Authentication" section
      - In the "Client Name" field enter the service account's
    "Client ID" - this can be found in the Developer Console under
    "IAM & Admin" -> "Service Accounts", then "View Client ID" for
    the newly created service account.
    It is a ~21 character numerical string.
      - In the next field, "One or More API Scopes", enter
    `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive`
    to grant access to Google Drive specifically.

    ##### 3. Configure rclone, assuming a new install

rclone config

n/s/q> n # New name>gdrive # Gdrive is an example name Storage> # Select
the number shown for Google Drive client_id> # Can be left blank
client_secret> # Can be left blank scope> # Select your scope, 1 for
example root_folder_id> # Can be left blank service_account_file>
/home/foo/myJSONfile.json # This is where the JSON file goes! y/n> #
Auto config, n


    ##### 4. Verify that it's working
      - `rclone -v --drive-impersonate foo@example.com lsf gdrive:backup`
      - The arguments do:
        - `-v` - verbose logging
        - `--drive-impersonate foo@example.com` - this is what does
    the magic, pretending to be user foo.
        - `lsf` - list files in a parsing friendly way
        - `gdrive:backup` - use the remote called gdrive, work in
    the folder named backup.

    Note: in case you configured a specific root folder on gdrive and rclone is unable to access the contents of that folder when using `--drive-impersonate`, 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 `--drive-impersonate` option, like this:
            `rclone -v lsf gdrive:backup`


    ### Shared drives (team drives)

    If you want to configure the remote to point to a Google Shared Drive
    (previously known as Team Drives) then answer `y` to the question
    `Configure this as a Shared Drive (Team Drive)?`.

    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
    Drive ID if you prefer.

    For example:

Configure this as a Shared Drive (Team Drive)? y) Yes n) No y/n> y
Fetching Shared Drive list... Choose a number from below, or type in
your own value 1 / Rclone Test  "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" 2 / Rclone Test 2
 "yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" 3 / Rclone Test 3  "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" Enter
a Shared Drive ID> 1 -------------------- [remote] client_id =
client_secret = token =
{"AccessToken":"xxxx.x.xxxxx_xxxxxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx","RefreshToken":"1/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx","Expiry":"2014-03-16T13:57:58.955387075Z","Extra":null}
team_drive = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -------------------- y) Yes this is OK
e) Edit this remote d) Delete this remote y/e/d> y


    ### --fast-list

    This remote supports `--fast-list` which allows you to use fewer
    transactions in exchange for more memory. See the [rclone
    docs](https://rclone.org/docs/#fast-list) for more details.

    It does this by combining multiple `list` calls into a single API request.

    This works by combining many `'%s' in parents` filters into one expression.
    To list the contents of directories a, b and c, the following requests will be send by the regular `List` function:

trashed=false and 'a' in parents trashed=false and 'b' in parents
trashed=false and 'c' in parents

    These can now be combined into a single request:

trashed=false and ('a' in parents or 'b' in parents or 'c' in parents)


    The implementation of `ListR` will put up to 50 `parents` filters into one request.
    It will  use the `--checkers` value to specify the number of requests to run in parallel.

    In tests, these batch requests were up to 20x faster than the regular method.
    Running the following command against different sized folders gives:

rclone lsjson -vv -R --checkers=6 gdrive:folder


    small folder (220 directories, 700 files):

    - without `--fast-list`: 38s
    - with `--fast-list`: 10s

    large folder (10600 directories, 39000 files):

    - without `--fast-list`: 22:05 min
    - with `--fast-list`: 58s

    ### Modified time

    Google drive stores modification times accurate to 1 ms.

    ### Restricted filename characters

    Only Invalid UTF-8 bytes will be [replaced](https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8),
    as they can't be used in JSON strings.

    In contrast to other backends, `/` can also be used in names and `.`
    or `..` are valid names.

    ### 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 send all files to the trash when deleting
    files.  If deleting them permanently is required then use the
    `--drive-use-trash=false` flag, or set the equivalent environment
    variable.

    ### Shortcuts

    In March 2020 Google introduced a new feature in Google Drive called
    [drive shortcuts](https://support.google.com/drive/answer/9700156)
    ([API](https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/shortcuts)). These
    will (by September 2020) [replace the ability for files or folders to
    be in multiple folders at once](https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/g-suite/simplifying-google-drives-folder-structure-and-sharing-models).

    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.

    By default rclone treats these as follows.

    For shortcuts pointing to files:

    - When listing a file shortcut appears as the destination file.
    - When downloading the contents of the destination file is downloaded.
    - When updating shortcut file with a non shortcut file, the shortcut is removed then a new file is uploaded in place of the shortcut.
    - When server-side moving (renaming) the shortcut is renamed, not the destination file.
    - When server-side copying the shortcut is copied, not the contents of the shortcut. (unless `--drive-copy-shortcut-content` is in use in which case the contents of the shortcut gets copied).
    - When deleting the shortcut is deleted not the linked file.
    - When setting the modification time, the modification time of the linked file will be set.

    For shortcuts pointing to folders:

    - When listing the shortcut appears as a folder and that folder will contain the contents of the linked folder appear (including any sub folders)
    - When downloading the contents of the linked folder and sub contents are downloaded
    - When uploading to a shortcut folder the file will be placed in the linked folder
    - When server-side moving (renaming) the shortcut is renamed, not the destination folder
    - When server-side copying the contents of the linked folder is copied, not the shortcut.
    - When deleting with `rclone rmdir` or `rclone purge` the shortcut is deleted not the linked folder.
    - **NB** When deleting with `rclone remove` or `rclone mount` the contents of the linked folder will be deleted.

    The [rclone backend](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_backend/) command can be used to create shortcuts.  

    Shortcuts can be completely ignored with the `--drive-skip-shortcuts` flag
    or the corresponding `skip_shortcuts` configuration setting.

    ### Emptying trash

    If you wish to empty your trash you can use the `rclone cleanup remote:`
    command which will permanently delete all your trashed files. This command
    does not take any path arguments.

    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.

    ### Quota information

    To view your current quota you can use the `rclone about remote:`
    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.

    #### Import/Export of google documents

    Google documents can be exported from and uploaded to Google Drive.

    When rclone downloads a Google doc it chooses a format to download
    depending upon the `--drive-export-formats` setting.
    By default the export 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-export-formats
    pdf`, or if you prefer openoffice/libreoffice formats you might use
    `--drive-export-formats ods,odt,odp`.

    Note that rclone adds the extension to the google doc, so if it is
    called `My Spreadsheet` on google docs, it will be exported as `My
    Spreadsheet.xlsx` or `My Spreadsheet.pdf` etc.

    When importing files into Google Drive, rclone will convert all
    files with an extension in `--drive-import-formats` to their
    associated document type.
    rclone will not convert any files by default, since the conversion
    is lossy process.

    The conversion must result in a file with the same extension when
    the `--drive-export-formats` rules are applied to the uploaded document.

    Here are some examples for allowed and prohibited conversions.

    | export-formats | import-formats | Upload Ext | Document Ext | Allowed |
    | -------------- | -------------- | ---------- | ------------ | ------- |
    | odt | odt | odt | odt | Yes |
    | odt | docx,odt | odt | odt | Yes |
    |  | docx | docx | docx | Yes |
    |  | odt | odt | docx | No |
    | odt,docx | docx,odt | docx | odt | No |
    | docx,odt | docx,odt | docx | docx | Yes |
    | docx,odt | docx,odt | odt | docx | No |

    This limitation can be disabled by specifying `--drive-allow-import-name-change`.
    When using this flag, rclone can convert multiple files types resulting
    in the same document type at once, e.g. with `--drive-import-formats docx,odt,txt`,
    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. 

    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.

    This list can be changed by Google Drive at any time and might not
    represent the currently available conversions.

    | Extension | Mime Type | Description |
    | --------- |-----------| ------------|
    | bmp  | image/bmp | Windows Bitmap format |
    | csv  | text/csv | Standard CSV format for Spreadsheets |
    | doc  | application/msword | Classic Word file |
    | docx | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document | Microsoft Office Document |
    | epub | application/epub+zip | E-book format |
    | html | text/html | An HTML Document |
    | jpg  | image/jpeg | A JPEG Image File |
    | json | application/vnd.google-apps.script+json | JSON Text Format for Google Apps scripts |
    | odp  | application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.presentation | Openoffice Presentation |
    | ods  | application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheet | Openoffice Spreadsheet |
    | ods  | application/x-vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheet | Openoffice Spreadsheet |
    | odt  | application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text | Openoffice Document |
    | pdf  | application/pdf | Adobe PDF Format |
    | pjpeg | image/pjpeg | Progressive JPEG Image |
    | png  | image/png | PNG Image Format|
    | pptx | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation | Microsoft Office Powerpoint |
    | rtf  | application/rtf | Rich Text Format |
    | svg  | image/svg+xml | Scalable Vector Graphics Format |
    | tsv  | text/tab-separated-values | Standard TSV format for spreadsheets |
    | txt  | text/plain | Plain Text |
    | wmf  | application/x-msmetafile | Windows Meta File |
    | xls  | application/vnd.ms-excel | Classic Excel file |
    | xlsx | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet | Microsoft Office Spreadsheet |
    | zip  | application/zip | A ZIP file of HTML, Images CSS |

    Google documents can also be exported as link files. These files will
    open a browser window for the Google Docs website of that document
    when opened. The link file extension has to be specified as a
    `--drive-export-formats` parameter. They will match all available
    Google Documents.

    | Extension | Description | OS Support |
    | --------- | ----------- | ---------- |
    | desktop | freedesktop.org specified desktop entry | Linux |
    | link.html | An HTML Document with a redirect | All |
    | url | INI style link file | macOS, Windows |
    | webloc | macOS specific XML format | macOS |

    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --drive-use-trash

    Send files to the trash instead of deleting permanently.

    Defaults to true, namely sending files to the trash.
    Use `--drive-use-trash=false` to delete files permanently instead.

    Properties:

    - Config:      use_trash
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DRIVE_USE_TRASH

    #### --drive-copy-shortcut-content

    Server side copy contents of shortcuts instead of the shortcut.

    When doing server side copies, normally rclone will copy shortcuts as
    shortcuts.

    If this flag is used then rclone will copy the contents of shortcuts
    rather than shortcuts themselves when doing server side copies.

    Properties:

    - Config:      copy_shortcut_content
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DRIVE_COPY_SHORTCUT_CONTENT
    - Type:        bool

    #### --drive-skip-checksum-gphotos

    Skip MD5 checksum on Google photos and videos only.

    Use this if you get checksum errors when transferring Google photos or
    videos.

    Setting this flag will cause Google photos and videos to return a
    blank MD5 checksum.

    Google photos are identified by being in the "photos" space.

    Corrupted checksums are caused by Google modifying the image/video but
    not updating the checksum.

    Properties:

    - Config:      skip_checksum_gphotos
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DRIVE_SKIP_CHECKSUM_GPHOTOS
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --drive-shared-with-me

    Only show files that are shared with me.

    Instructs rclone to operate on your "Shared with me" folder (where
    Google Drive lets you access the files and folders others have shared
    with you).

    This works both with the "list" (lsd, lsl, etc.) and the "copy"
    commands (copy, sync, etc.), and with all other commands too.

    Properties:

    - Config:      shared_with_me
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DRIVE_SHARED_WITH_ME
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --drive-trashed-only

    Only show files that are in the trash.

    This will show trashed files in their original directory structure.

    Properties:

    - Config:      trashed_only
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DRIVE_TRASHED_ONLY
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --drive-starred-only

    Only show files that are starred.

    Properties:

    - Config:      starred_only
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DRIVE_STARRED_ONLY
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --drive-formats

    Deprecated: See export_formats.

    Properties:

    - Config:      formats
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DRIVE_FORMATS
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --drive-export-formats

    Comma separated list of preferred formats for downloading Google docs.

    Properties:

    - Config:      export_formats
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DRIVE_EXPORT_FORMATS
    - Type:        string
    - Default:     "docx,xlsx,pptx,svg"

    #### --drive-import-formats

    Comma separated list of preferred formats for uploading Google docs.

    Properties:

    - Config:      import_formats
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DRIVE_IMPORT_FORMATS
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --drive-allow-import-name-change

    Allow the filetype to change when uploading Google docs.

    E.g. file.doc to file.docx. This will confuse sync and reupload every time.

    Properties:

    - Config:      allow_import_name_change
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DRIVE_ALLOW_IMPORT_NAME_CHANGE
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --drive-use-created-date

    Use file created date instead of modified date.

    Useful when downloading data and you want the creation date used in
    place of the last modified date.

    **WARNING**: This flag may have some unexpected consequences.

    When uploading to your drive all files will be overwritten unless they
    haven't been modified since their creation. And the inverse will occur
    while downloading.  This side effect can be avoided by using the
    "--checksum" flag.

    This feature was implemented to retain photos capture date as recorded
    by google photos. You will first need to check the "Create a Google
    Photos folder" option in your google drive settings. You can then copy
    or move the photos locally and use the date the image was taken
    (created) set as the modification date.

    Properties:

    - Config:      use_created_date
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DRIVE_USE_CREATED_DATE
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --drive-use-shared-date

    Use date file was shared instead of modified date.

    Note that, as with "--drive-use-created-date", this flag may have
    unexpected consequences when uploading/downloading files.

    If both this flag and "--drive-use-created-date" are set, the created
    date is used.

    Properties:

    - Config:      use_shared_date
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DRIVE_USE_SHARED_DATE
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --drive-list-chunk

    Size of listing chunk 100-1000, 0 to disable.

    Properties:

    - Config:      list_chunk
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DRIVE_LIST_CHUNK
    - Type:        int
    - Default:     1000

    #### --drive-impersonate

    Impersonate this user when using a service account.

    Properties:

    - Config:      impersonate
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DRIVE_IMPERSONATE
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --drive-upload-cutoff

    Cutoff for switching to chunked upload.

    Properties:

    - Config:      upload_cutoff
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DRIVE_UPLOAD_CUTOFF
    - Type:        SizeSuffix
    - Default:     8Mi

    #### --drive-chunk-size

    Upload chunk size.

    Must a power of 2 >= 256k.

    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.

    Properties:

    - Config:      chunk_size
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DRIVE_CHUNK_SIZE
    - Type:        SizeSuffix
    - Default:     8Mi

    #### --drive-acknowledge-abuse

    Set to allow files which return cannotDownloadAbusiveFile to be downloaded.

    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.

    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.

    Properties:

    - Config:      acknowledge_abuse
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DRIVE_ACKNOWLEDGE_ABUSE
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --drive-keep-revision-forever

    Keep new head revision of each file forever.

    Properties:

    - Config:      keep_revision_forever
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DRIVE_KEEP_REVISION_FOREVER
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --drive-size-as-quota

    Show sizes as storage quota usage, not actual size.

    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.

    **WARNING**: This flag may have some unexpected consequences.

    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.

    If you do use this flag for syncing (not recommended) then you will
    need to use --ignore size also.

    Properties:

    - Config:      size_as_quota
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DRIVE_SIZE_AS_QUOTA
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --drive-v2-download-min-size

    If Object's are greater, use drive v2 API to download.

    Properties:

    - Config:      v2_download_min_size
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DRIVE_V2_DOWNLOAD_MIN_SIZE
    - Type:        SizeSuffix
    - Default:     off

    #### --drive-pacer-min-sleep

    Minimum time to sleep between API calls.

    Properties:

    - Config:      pacer_min_sleep
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DRIVE_PACER_MIN_SLEEP
    - Type:        Duration
    - Default:     100ms

    #### --drive-pacer-burst

    Number of API calls to allow without sleeping.

    Properties:

    - Config:      pacer_burst
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DRIVE_PACER_BURST
    - Type:        int
    - Default:     100

    #### --drive-server-side-across-configs

    Deprecated: use --server-side-across-configs instead.

    Allow server-side operations (e.g. copy) to work across different drive configs.

    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.

    Properties:

    - Config:      server_side_across_configs
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DRIVE_SERVER_SIDE_ACROSS_CONFIGS
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --drive-disable-http2

    Disable drive using http2.

    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.

    See: https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/3631



    Properties:

    - Config:      disable_http2
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DRIVE_DISABLE_HTTP2
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     true

    #### --drive-stop-on-upload-limit

    Make upload limit errors be fatal.

    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.

    Note that this detection is relying on error message strings which
    Google don't document so it may break in the future.

    See: https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/3857


    Properties:

    - Config:      stop_on_upload_limit
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DRIVE_STOP_ON_UPLOAD_LIMIT
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --drive-stop-on-download-limit

    Make download limit errors be fatal.

    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.

    Note that this detection is relying on error message strings which
    Google don't document so it may break in the future.


    Properties:

    - Config:      stop_on_download_limit
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DRIVE_STOP_ON_DOWNLOAD_LIMIT
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --drive-skip-shortcuts

    If set skip shortcut files.

    Normally rclone dereferences shortcut files making them appear as if
    they are the original file (see [the shortcuts section](#shortcuts)).
    If this flag is set then rclone will ignore shortcut files completely.


    Properties:

    - Config:      skip_shortcuts
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DRIVE_SKIP_SHORTCUTS
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --drive-skip-dangling-shortcuts

    If set skip dangling shortcut files.

    If this is set then rclone will not show any dangling shortcuts in listings.


    Properties:

    - Config:      skip_dangling_shortcuts
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DRIVE_SKIP_DANGLING_SHORTCUTS
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --drive-resource-key

    Resource key for accessing a link-shared file.

    If you need to access files shared with a link like this

        https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/XXX?resourcekey=YYY&usp=sharing

    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.

    See: https://developers.google.com/drive/api/guides/resource-keys

    This resource key requirement only applies to a subset of old files.

    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.


    Properties:

    - Config:      resource_key
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DRIVE_RESOURCE_KEY
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --drive-fast-list-bug-fix

    Work around a bug in Google Drive listing.

    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

    Rclone detects this by finding no items in more than one directory
    when listing and retries them as lists of individual directories.

    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.

    This flag allows the work-around to be disabled. This is **not**
    recommended in normal use - only if you have a particular case you are
    having trouble with like many empty directories.


    Properties:

    - Config:      fast_list_bug_fix
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DRIVE_FAST_LIST_BUG_FIX
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     true

    #### --drive-encoding

    The encoding for the backend.

    See the [encoding section in the overview](https://rclone.org/overview/#encoding) for more info.

    Properties:

    - Config:      encoding
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DRIVE_ENCODING
    - Type:        MultiEncoder
    - Default:     InvalidUtf8

    #### --drive-env-auth

    Get IAM credentials from runtime (environment variables or instance meta data if no env vars).

    Only applies if service_account_file and service_account_credentials is blank.

    Properties:

    - Config:      env_auth
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_DRIVE_ENV_AUTH
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false
    - Examples:
        - "false"
            - Enter credentials in the next step.
        - "true"
            - Get GCP IAM credentials from the environment (env vars or IAM).

    ## Backend commands

    Here are the commands specific to the drive backend.

    Run them with

        rclone backend COMMAND remote:

    The help below will explain what arguments each command takes.

    See the [backend](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_backend/) command for more
    info on how to pass options and arguments.

    These can be run on a running backend using the rc command
    [backend/command](https://rclone.org/rc/#backend-command).

    ### get

    Get command for fetching the drive config parameters

        rclone backend get remote: [options] [<arguments>+]

    This is a get command which will be used to fetch the various drive config parameters

    Usage Examples:

        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]


    Options:

    - "chunk_size": show the current upload chunk size
    - "service_account_file": show the current service account file

    ### set

    Set command for updating the drive config parameters

        rclone backend set remote: [options] [<arguments>+]

    This is a set command which will be used to update the various drive config parameters

    Usage Examples:

        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]


    Options:

    - "chunk_size": update the current upload chunk size
    - "service_account_file": update the current service account file

    ### shortcut

    Create shortcuts from files or directories

        rclone backend shortcut remote: [options] [<arguments>+]

    This command creates shortcuts from files or directories.

    Usage:

        rclone backend shortcut drive: source_item destination_shortcut
        rclone backend shortcut drive: source_item -o target=drive2: destination_shortcut

    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:"

    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:".


    Options:

    - "target": optional target remote for the shortcut destination

    ### drives

    List the Shared Drives available to this account

        rclone backend drives remote: [options] [<arguments>+]

    This command lists the Shared Drives (Team Drives) available to this
    account.

    Usage:

        rclone backend [-o config] drives drive:

    This will return a JSON list of objects like this

        [
            {
                "id": "0ABCDEF-01234567890",
                "kind": "drive#teamDrive",
                "name": "My Drive"
            },
            {
                "id": "0ABCDEFabcdefghijkl",
                "kind": "drive#teamDrive",
                "name": "Test Drive"
            }
        ]

    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.

        [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 = "My Drive=My Drive:" "Test Drive=Test Drive:"

    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.


    ### untrash

    Untrash files and directories

        rclone backend untrash remote: [options] [<arguments>+]

    This command untrashes all the files and directories in the directory
    passed in recursively.

    Usage:

    This takes an optional directory to trash which make this easier to
    use via the API.

        rclone backend untrash drive:directory
        rclone backend --interactive untrash drive:directory subdir

    Use the --interactive/-i or --dry-run flag to see what would be restored before restoring it.

    Result:

        {
            "Untrashed": 17,
            "Errors": 0
        }


    ### copyid

    Copy files by ID

        rclone backend copyid remote: [options] [<arguments>+]

    This command copies files by ID

    Usage:

        rclone backend copyid drive: ID path
        rclone backend copyid drive: ID1 path1 ID2 path2

    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.

    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.

    If the destination is a drive backend then server-side copying will be
    attempted if possible.

    Use the --interactive/-i or --dry-run flag to see what would be copied before copying.


    ### exportformats

    Dump the export formats for debug purposes

        rclone backend exportformats remote: [options] [<arguments>+]

    ### importformats

    Dump the import formats for debug purposes

        rclone backend importformats remote: [options] [<arguments>+]



    ## 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 MiB/s but lots of
    small files can take a long time.

    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 `--disable copy` to download
    and upload the files if you prefer.

    ### Limitations of Google Docs

    Google docs will appear as size -1 in `rclone ls`, `rclone ncdu` etc,
    and as size 0 in anything which uses the VFS layer, e.g. `rclone mount`
    and `rclone serve`. When calculating directory totals, e.g. in
    `rclone size` and `rclone ncdu`, they will be counted in as empty
    files.

    This is because rclone can't find out the size of the Google docs
    without downloading them.

    Google docs will transfer correctly with `rclone sync`, `rclone copy`
    etc as rclone knows to ignore the size when doing the transfer.

    However an unfortunate consequence of this is that you may not be able
    to download Google docs using `rclone mount`. 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!

    ### Duplicated files

    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.

    Duplicated files cause problems with the syncing and you will see
    messages in the log about duplicates.

    Use `rclone dedupe` to fix duplicated files.

    Note that this isn't just a problem with rclone, even Google Photos on
    Android duplicates files on drive sometimes.

    ### Rclone appears to be re-copying files it shouldn't

    The most likely cause of this is the duplicated file issue above - run
    `rclone dedupe` and check your logs for duplicate object or directory
    messages.

    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.

    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.

    ## Making your own client_id

    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.

    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.

    Here is how to create your own Google Drive client ID for rclone:

    1. Log into the [Google API
    Console](https://console.developers.google.com/) 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)

    2. Select a project or create a new project.

    3. Under "ENABLE APIS AND SERVICES" search for "Drive", and enable the
    "Google Drive API".

    4. Click "Credentials" in the left-side panel (not "Create
    credentials", which opens the wizard).

    5. 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 some scopes,
    including `.../auth/docs` and `.../auth/drive` in order to be able to edit,
    create and delete files with RClone. You may also want to include the
    `../auth/drive.metadata.readonly` scope. 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.

       (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). 

    6.  Click on the "+ CREATE CREDENTIALS" button at the top of the screen,
    then select "OAuth client ID".

    7. Choose an application type of "Desktop app" and click "Create". (the default name is fine)

    8. It will show you a client ID and client secret. Make a note of these.
       
       (If you selected "External" at Step 5 continue to Step 9. 
       If you chose "Internal" you don't need to publish and can skip straight to
       Step 10 but your destination drive must be part of the same Google Workspace.)

    9. Go to "Oauth consent screen" and then click "PUBLISH APP" button and confirm.
       You will also want to add yourself as a test user.

    10. Provide the noted client ID and client secret to rclone.

    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.

    (Thanks to @balazer on github for these instructions.)

    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
    [Python Quickstart](https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/quickstart/python) 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.

    #  Google Photos

    The rclone backend for [Google Photos](https://www.google.com/photos/about/) is
    a specialized backend for transferring photos and videos to and from
    Google Photos.

    **NB** The Google Photos API which rclone uses has quite a few
    limitations, so please read the [limitations section](#limitations)
    carefully to make sure it is suitable for your use.

    ## Configuration

    The initial setup for google cloud storage involves getting a token from Google Photos
    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:

No remotes found, make a new one? n) New remote s) Set configuration
password q) Quit config n/s/q> n name> remote Type of storage to
configure. Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default ("").
Choose a number from below, or type in your own value [snip] XX / Google
Photos  "google photos" [snip] Storage> google photos ** See help for
google photos backend at: https://rclone.org/googlephotos/ **

Google Application Client Id Leave blank normally. Enter a string value.
Press Enter for the default (""). client_id> Google Application Client
Secret Leave blank normally. Enter a string value. Press Enter for the
default (""). client_secret> Set to make the Google Photos backend read
only.

If you choose read only then rclone will only request read only access
to your photos, otherwise rclone will request full access. Enter a
boolean value (true or false). Press Enter for the default ("false").
read_only> Edit advanced config? (y/n) y) Yes n) No y/n> n Remote config
Use web browser to automatically authenticate rclone with remote? * Say
Y if the machine running rclone has a web browser you can use * Say N if
running rclone on a (remote) machine without web browser access If not
sure try Y. If Y failed, try N. 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
Waiting for code... Got code

*** IMPORTANT: All media items uploaded to Google Photos with rclone ***
are stored in full resolution at original quality. These uploads ***
will count towards storage in your Google Account.

  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  [remote] type = google photos token = {"access_token":"XXX","token_type":"Bearer","refresh_token":"XXX","expiry":"2019-06-28T17:38:04.644930156+01:00"}
  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  y) Yes this is OK e) Edit this remote d) Delete this remote y/e/d> y ```

  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 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 http://127.0.0.1:53682/ and this may require you to unblock it temporarily if you are running a host firewall, or use manual mode.

  This remote is called remote and can now be used like this

  See all the albums in your photos

  rclone lsd remote:album

  Make a new album

  rclone mkdir remote:album/newAlbum

  List the contents of an album

  rclone ls remote:album/newAlbum

  Sync /home/local/images to the Google Photos, removing any excess files in the album.

  rclone sync --interactive /home/local/image remote:album/newAlbum

  ### Layout

  As Google Photos is not a general purpose cloud storage system, the backend is laid out to help you navigate it.

  The directories under media 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 remote:media/by-month. (NB remote:media/by-day is rather slow at the moment so avoid for syncing.)

  Note that all your photos and videos will appear somewhere under media, but they may not appear under album unless you've put them into albums.

  / - upload - file1.jpg - file2.jpg - ... - media - all - file1.jpg - file2.jpg - ... - by-year - 2000 - file1.jpg - ... - 2001 - file2.jpg - ... - ... - by-month - 2000 - 2000-01 - file1.jpg - ... - 2000-02 - file2.jpg - ... - ... - by-day - 2000 - 2000-01-01 - file1.jpg - ... - 2000-01-02 - file2.jpg - ... - ... - album - album name - album name/sub - shared-album - album name - album name/sub - feature - favorites - file1.jpg - file2.jpg

  There are two writable parts of the tree, the upload directory and sub directories of the album directory.

  The upload 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 album will work better.

  Directories within the album directory are also writeable and you may create new directories (albums) under album. If you copy files with a directory hierarchy in there then rclone will create albums with the / character in them. For example if you do

  rclone copy /path/to/images remote:album/images

  and the images directory contains

  images - file1.jpg dir file2.jpg dir2 dir3 file3.jpg

  Then rclone will create the following albums with the following files in

  - images - file1.jpg - images/dir - file2.jpg - images/dir2/dir3 - file3.jpg

  This means that you can use the album path pretty much like a normal filesystem and it is a good target for repeated syncing.

  The shared-album directory shows albums shared with you or by you. This is similar to the Sharing tab in the Google Photos web interface.

  ### Standard options

  Here are the Standard options specific to google photos (Google Photos).

  #### --gphotos-client-id

  OAuth Client Id.

  Leave blank normally.

  Properties:

  - Config: client_id - Env Var: RCLONE_GPHOTOS_CLIENT_ID - Type: string - Required: false

  #### --gphotos-client-secret

  OAuth Client Secret.

  Leave blank normally.

  Properties:

  - Config: client_secret - Env Var: RCLONE_GPHOTOS_CLIENT_SECRET - Type: string - Required: false

  #### --gphotos-read-only

  Set to make the Google Photos backend read only.

  If you choose read only then rclone will only request read only access to your photos, otherwise rclone will request full access.

  Properties:

  - Config: read_only - Env Var: RCLONE_GPHOTOS_READ_ONLY - Type: bool - Default: false

  ### Advanced options

  Here are the Advanced options specific to google photos (Google Photos).

  #### --gphotos-token

  OAuth Access Token as a JSON blob.

  Properties:

  - Config: token - Env Var: RCLONE_GPHOTOS_TOKEN - Type: string - Required: false

  #### --gphotos-auth-url

  Auth server URL.

  Leave blank to use the provider defaults.

  Properties:

  - Config: auth_url - Env Var: RCLONE_GPHOTOS_AUTH_URL - Type: string - Required: false

  #### --gphotos-token-url

  Token server url.

  Leave blank to use the provider defaults.

  Properties:

  - Config: token_url - Env Var: RCLONE_GPHOTOS_TOKEN_URL - Type: string - Required: false

  #### --gphotos-read-size

  Set to read the size of media items.

  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.

  Properties:

  - Config: read_size - Env Var: RCLONE_GPHOTOS_READ_SIZE - Type: bool - Default: false

  #### --gphotos-start-year

  Year limits the photos to be downloaded to those which are uploaded after the given year.

  Properties:

  - Config: start_year - Env Var: RCLONE_GPHOTOS_START_YEAR - Type: int - Default: 2000

  #### --gphotos-include-archived

  Also view and download archived media.

  By default, rclone does not request archived media. Thus, when syncing, archived media is not visible in directory listings or transferred.

  Note that media in albums is always visible and synced, no matter their archive status.

  With this flag, archived media are always visible in directory listings and transferred.

  Without this flag, archived media will not be visible in directory listings and won't be transferred.

  Properties:

  - Config: include_archived - Env Var: RCLONE_GPHOTOS_INCLUDE_ARCHIVED - Type: bool - Default: false

  #### --gphotos-encoding

  The encoding for the backend.

  See the encoding section in the overview for more info.

  Properties:

  - Config: encoding - Env Var: RCLONE_GPHOTOS_ENCODING - Type: MultiEncoder - Default: Slash,CrLf,InvalidUtf8,Dot

  ## Limitations

  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.

  Note that all media items uploaded to Google Photos through the API are stored in full resolution at "original quality" and will count towards your storage quota in your Google Account. The API does not offer a way to upload in "high quality" mode..

  rclone about is not supported by the Google Photos backend. Backends without this capability cannot determine free space for an rclone mount or use policy mfs (most free space) as a member of an rclone union remote.

  See List of backends that do not support rclone about See rclone about

  ### Downloading Images

  When Images are downloaded this strips EXIF location (according to the docs and my tests). This is a limitation of the Google Photos API and is covered by bug #112096115.

  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

  ### Downloading Videos

  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 bug #113672044.

  ### Duplicates

  If a file name is duplicated in a directory then rclone will add the file ID into its name. So two files called file.jpg would then appear as file {123456}.jpg and file {ABCDEF}.jpg (the actual IDs are a lot longer alas!).

  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 upload then uploaded the same image to album/my_album the filename of the image in album/my_album will be what it was uploaded with initially, not what you uploaded it with to album. In practise this shouldn't cause
  too many problems.

  ### Modified time

  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.

  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.

  ### Size

  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.

  It is possible to read the size of the media, but this needs an extra HTTP HEAD request per media item so is very slow and uses up a lot of transactions. This can be enabled with the --gphotos-read-size option or the read_size = true config parameter.

  If you want to use the backend with rclone mount 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.

  ### Albums

  Rclone can only upload files to albums it created. This is a limitation of the Google Photos API.

  Rclone can remove files it uploaded from albums it created only.

  ### Deleting files

  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 bug #109759781.

  Rclone cannot delete files anywhere except under album.

  ### Deleting albums

  The Google Photos API does not support deleting albums - see bug #135714733.

  # Hasher

  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

  ## Getting started

  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.

  Let's call the base remote myRemote:path here. Note that anything inside myRemote:path 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 s3:bucket.

  Now proceed to interactive or manual configuration.

  ### Interactive configuration

  Run rclone config: ``` No remotes found, make a new one? n) New remote s) Set configuration password q) Quit config n/s/q> n name> Hasher1 Type of storage to configure. Choose a number from below, or type in your own value [snip] XX / Handle checksums for other remotes  "hasher" [snip] Storage> hasher Remote to cache checksums for, like myremote:mypath. Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default (""). remote> myRemote:path Comma
  separated list of supported checksum types. Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default ("md5,sha1"). hashsums> md5 Maximum time to keep checksums in cache. 0 = no cache, off = cache forever. max_age> off Edit advanced config? (y/n) y) Yes n) No y/n> n Remote config
  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Hasher1] type = hasher remote = myRemote:path hashsums = md5 max_age =
off -------------------- y) Yes this is OK e) Edit this remote d) Delete
this remote y/e/d> y


    ### Manual configuration

    Run `rclone config path` to see the path of current active config file,
    usually `YOURHOME/.config/rclone/rclone.conf`.
    Open it in your favorite text editor, find section for the base remote
    and create new section for hasher like in the following examples:

[Hasher1] type = hasher remote = myRemote:path hashes = md5 max_age =
off

[Hasher2] type = hasher remote = /local/path hashes = dropbox,sha1
max_age = 24h


    Hasher takes basically the following parameters:
    - `remote` is required,
    - `hashes` is a comma separated list of supported checksums
       (by default `md5,sha1`),
    - `max_age` - maximum time to keep a checksum value in the cache,
       `0` will disable caching completely,
       `off` will cache "forever" (that is until the files get changed).

    Make sure the `remote` has `:` (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 `/local/path` then rclone will handle hashes for that directory.
    If you use `remote = name` literally then rclone will put files
    **in a directory called `name` located under current directory**.

    ## Usage

    ### Basic operations

    Now you can use it as `Hasher2:subdir/file` instead of base remote.
    Hasher will transparently update cache with new checksums when a file
    is fully read or overwritten, like:

rclone copy External:path/file Hasher:dest/path

rclone cat Hasher:path/to/file > /dev/null


    The way to refresh **all** cached checksums (even unsupported by the base backend)
    for a subtree is to **re-download** all files in the subtree. For example,
    use `hashsum --download` using **any** supported hashsum on the command line
    (we just care to re-read):

rclone hashsum MD5 --download Hasher:path/to/subtree > /dev/null

rclone backend dump Hasher:path/to/subtree


    You can print or drop hashsum cache using custom backend commands:

rclone backend dump Hasher:dir/subdir

rclone backend drop Hasher:


    ### Pre-Seed from a SUM File

    Hasher supports two backend commands: generic SUM file `import` and faster
    but less consistent `stickyimport`.

rclone backend import Hasher:dir/subdir SHA1 /path/to/SHA1SUM
[--checkers 4]


    Instead of SHA1 it can be any hash supported by the remote. The last argument
    can point to either a local or an `other-remote:path` 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 `hasher:dir/subdir`.
    - The command will **not** check that supplied values are correct.
      You **must know** 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
      `--checkers` to make it faster. Or use `stickyimport` if you don't care
      about fingerprints and consistency.

rclone backend stickyimport hasher:path/to/data sha1
remote:/path/to/sum.sha1


    `stickyimport` is similar to `import` 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 _sticky_
    entries bound to the file name alone ignoring size, modification time etc.
    Such hash entries can be replaced only by `purge`, `delete`, `backend drop`
    or by full re-read/re-write of the files.

    ## Implementation details (advanced)

    This section explains how various rclone operations work on a hasher remote.

    **Disclaimer. This section describes current implementation which can
    change in future rclone versions!.**

    ### Hashsum command

    The `rclone hashsum` (or `md5sum` or `sha1sum`) command will:

    1. if requested hash is supported by lower level, just pass it.
    2. if object size is below `auto_size` then download object and calculate
       _requested_ hashes on the fly.
    3. if unsupported and the size is big enough, build object `fingerprint`
       (including size, modtime if supported, first-found _other_ hash if any).
    4. if the strict match is found in cache for the requested remote, return
       the stored hash.
    5. if remote found but fingerprint mismatched, then purge the entry and
       proceed to step 6.
    6. if remote not found or had no requested hash type or after step 5:
       download object, calculate all _supported_ hashes on the fly and store
       in cache; return requested hash.

    ### Other operations

    - whenever a file is uploaded or downloaded **in full**, capture the stream
      to calculate all supported hashes on the fly and update database
    - server-side `move`  will update keys of existing cache entries
    - `deletefile` will remove a single cache entry
    - `purge` will remove all cache entries under the purged path

    Note that setting `max_age = 0` will disable checksum caching completely.

    If you set `max_age = off`, checksums in cache will never age, unless you
    fully rewrite or delete the file.

    ### Cache storage

    Cached checksums are stored as `bolt` database files under rclone cache
    directory, usually `~/.cache/rclone/kv/`. Databases are maintained
    one per _base_ backend, named like `BaseRemote~hasher.bolt`.
    Checksums for multiple `alias`-es into a single base backend
    will be stored in the single database. All local paths are treated as
    aliases into the `local` backend (unless encrypted or chunked) and stored
    in `~/.cache/rclone/kv/local~hasher.bolt`.
    Databases can be shared between multiple rclone processes.

    #  HDFS

    [HDFS](https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/stable/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-hdfs/HdfsDesign.html) is a
    distributed file-system, part of the [Apache Hadoop](https://hadoop.apache.org/) framework.

    Paths are specified as `remote:` or `remote:path/to/dir`.

    ## Configuration

    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:

No remotes found, make a new one? n) New remote s) Set configuration

    This remote is called `remote` and can now be used like this

    See all the top level directories

        rclone lsd remote:

    List the contents of a directory

        rclone ls remote:directory

    Sync the remote `directory` to `/home/local/directory`, deleting any excess files.

        rclone sync --interactive remote:directory /home/local/directory

    ### Setting up your own HDFS instance for testing

    You may start with a [manual setup](https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/stable/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/SingleCluster.html)
    or use the docker image from the tests:

    If you want to build the docker image

git clone https://github.com/rclone/rclone.git cd
rclone/fstest/testserver/images/test-hdfs docker build --rm -t
rclone/test-hdfs .


    Or you can just use the latest one pushed

docker run --rm --name "rclone-hdfs" -p 127.0.0.1:9866:9866 -p
127.0.0.1:8020:8020 --hostname "rclone-hdfs" rclone/test-hdfs


    **NB** it need few seconds to startup.

    For this docker image the remote needs to be configured like this:

[remote] type = hdfs namenode = 127.0.0.1:8020 username = root


    You can stop this image with `docker kill rclone-hdfs` (**NB** it does not use volumes, so all data
    uploaded will be lost.)

    ### Modified time

    Time accurate to 1 second is stored.

    ### Checksum

    No checksums are implemented.

    ### Usage information

    You can use the `rclone about remote:` command which will display filesystem size and current usage.

    ### Restricted filename characters

    In addition to the [default restricted characters set](https://rclone.org/overview/#restricted-characters)
    the following characters are also replaced:

    | Character | Value | Replacement |
    | --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
    | :         | 0x3A  | ：           |

    Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be [replaced](https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8).

    ## Limitations

    - No server-side `Move` or `DirMove`.
    - Checksums not implemented.

    #  HiDrive

    Paths are specified as `remote:path`

    Paths may be as deep as required, e.g. `remote:directory/subdirectory`.

    The initial setup for hidrive involves getting a token from HiDrive
    which you need to do in your browser.
    `rclone config` walks you through it.

    ## Configuration

    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:

No remotes found - make a new one n) New remote s) Set configuration
password q) Quit config n/s/q> n name> remote Type of storage to
configure. Choose a number from below, or type in your own value [snip]
XX / HiDrive  "hidrive" [snip] Storage> hidrive OAuth Client Id - Leave
blank normally. client_id> OAuth Client Secret - Leave blank normally.
client_secret> Access permissions that rclone should use when requesting
access from HiDrive. Leave blank normally. scope_access> Edit advanced
config? y/n> n Use web browser to automatically authenticate rclone with
remote? * Say Y if the machine running rclone has a web browser you can
use * Say N if running rclone on a (remote) machine without web browser
access If not sure try Y. If Y failed, try N. y/n> y If your browser
doesn't open automatically go to the following link:
http://127.0.0.1:53682/auth?state=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Log in and
authorize rclone for access Waiting for code... Got code
-------------------- [remote] type = hidrive token =
{"access_token":"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx","token_type":"Bearer","refresh_token":"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx","expiry":"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"}
-------------------- y) Yes this is OK (default) e) Edit this remote d)
Delete this remote y/e/d> y


    **You should be aware that OAuth-tokens can be used to access your account
    and hence should not be shared with other persons.**
    See the [below section](#keeping-your-tokens-safe) for more information.

    See the [remote setup docs](https://rclone.org/remote_setup/) 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 HiDrive. This only runs from the moment it opens
    your browser to the moment you get back the verification code.
    The webserver runs on `http://127.0.0.1:53682/`.
    If local port `53682` is protected by a firewall you may need to temporarily
    unblock the firewall to complete authorization.

    Once configured you can then use `rclone` like this,

    List directories in top level of your HiDrive root folder

        rclone lsd remote:

    List all the files in your HiDrive filesystem

        rclone ls remote:

    To copy a local directory to a HiDrive directory called backup

        rclone copy /home/source remote:backup

    ### Keeping your tokens safe

    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.

    It is possible to encrypt rclone's configuration file.
    You can find information on securing your configuration file by viewing the [configuration encryption docs](https://rclone.org/docs/#configuration-encryption).

    ### Invalid refresh token

    As can be verified [here](https://developer.hidrive.com/basics-flows/),
    each `refresh_token` (for Native Applications) is valid for 60 days.
    If used to access HiDrivei, its validity will be automatically extended.

    This means that if you

      * Don't use the HiDrive remote for 60 days

    then rclone will return an error which includes a text
    that implies the refresh token is *invalid* or *expired*.

    To fix this you will need to authorize rclone to access your HiDrive account again.

    Using

        rclone config reconnect remote:

    the process is very similar to the process of initial setup exemplified before.

    ### Modified time and hashes

    HiDrive allows modification times to be set on objects accurate to 1 second.

    HiDrive supports [its own hash type](https://static.hidrive.com/dev/0001)
    which is used to verify the integrity of file contents after successful transfers.

    ### Restricted filename characters

    HiDrive cannot store files or folders that include
    `/` (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: `.` or `..`

    Therefore rclone will automatically replace these characters,
    if files or folders are stored or accessed with such names.

    You can read about how this filename encoding works in general
    [here](overview/#restricted-filenames).

    Keep in mind that HiDrive only supports file or folder names
    with a length of 255 characters or less.

    ### Transfers

    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.

    You can customize this behaviour using the following options:

    * `chunk_size`: size of file parts
    * `upload_cutoff`: files larger or equal to this in size will use a chunked transfer
    * `upload_concurrency`: number of file-parts to upload at the same time

    See the below section about configuration options for more details.

    ### Root folder

    You can set the root folder for rclone.
    This is the directory that rclone considers to be the root of your HiDrive.

    Usually, you will leave this blank, and rclone will use the root of the account.

    However, you can set this to restrict rclone to a specific folder hierarchy.

    This works by prepending the contents of the `root_prefix` option
    to any paths accessed by rclone.
    For example, the following two ways to access the home directory are equivalent:

        rclone lsd --hidrive-root-prefix="/users/test/" remote:path

        rclone lsd remote:/users/test/path

    See the below section about configuration options for more details.

    ### Directory member count

    By default, rclone will know the number of directory members contained in a directory.
    For example, `rclone lsd` uses this information.

    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 `disable_fetching_member_count` option can be used.

    See the below section about configuration options for more details.


    ### Standard options

    Here are the Standard options specific to hidrive (HiDrive).

    - Env Var:     RCLONE_HIDRIVE_SCOPE_ROLE
    - Type:        string
    - Default:     "user"
    - Examples:
        - "user"
            - User-level access to management permissions.
            - This will be sufficient in most cases.
        - "admin"
            - Extensive access to management permissions.
        - "owner"
            - Full access to management permissions.

    #### --hidrive-root-prefix

    The root/parent folder for all paths.

    Fill in to use the specified folder as the parent for all paths given to the remote.
    This way rclone can use any folder as its starting point.

    Properties:

    - Config:      root_prefix
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_HIDRIVE_ROOT_PREFIX
    - Type:        string
    - Default:     "/"
    - Examples:
        - "/"
            - The topmost directory accessible by rclone.
            - This will be equivalent with "root" if rclone uses a regular HiDrive user account.
        - "root"
            - The topmost directory of the HiDrive user account
        - ""
            - This specifies that there is no root-prefix for your paths.
            - When using this you will always need to specify paths to this remote with a valid parent e.g. "remote:/path/to/dir" or "remote:root/path/to/dir".

    #### --hidrive-endpoint

    Endpoint for the service.

    This is the URL that API-calls will be made to.

    Properties:

    - Config:      endpoint
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_HIDRIVE_ENDPOINT
    - Type:        string
    - Default:     "https://api.hidrive.strato.com/2.1"

    #### --hidrive-disable-fetching-member-count

    Do not fetch number of objects in directories unless it is absolutely necessary.

    Requests may be faster if the number of objects in subdirectories is not fetched.

    Properties:

    - Config:      disable_fetching_member_count
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_HIDRIVE_DISABLE_FETCHING_MEMBER_COUNT
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --hidrive-chunk-size

    Chunksize for chunked uploads.

    Any files larger than the configured cutoff (or files of unknown size) will be uploaded in chunks of this size.

    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.

    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 save on memory.

    Properties:

    - Config:      chunk_size
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_HIDRIVE_CHUNK_SIZE
    - Type:        SizeSuffix
    - Default:     48Mi

    #### --hidrive-upload-cutoff

    Cutoff/Threshold for chunked uploads.

    Any files larger than this will be uploaded in chunks of the configured chunksize.

    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 will cause uploads to fail.

    Properties:

    - Config:      upload_cutoff
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_HIDRIVE_UPLOAD_CUTOFF
    - Type:        SizeSuffix
    - Default:     96Mi

    #### --hidrive-upload-concurrency

    Concurrency for chunked uploads.

    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.

    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.

    Properties:

    - Config:      upload_concurrency
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_HIDRIVE_UPLOAD_CONCURRENCY
    - Type:        int
    - Default:     4

    #### --hidrive-encoding

    The encoding for the backend.

    See the [encoding section in the overview](https://rclone.org/overview/#encoding) for more info.

    Properties:

    - Config:      encoding
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_HIDRIVE_ENCODING
    - Type:        MultiEncoder
    - Default:     Slash,Dot



    ## Limitations

    ### Symbolic links

    HiDrive is able to store symbolic links (*symlinks*) by design,
    for example, when unpacked from a zip archive.

    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.

    *This does not affect the `.rclonelink`-files
    that rclone uses to encode and store symbolic links.*

    ### Sparse files

    It is possible to store sparse files in HiDrive.

    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.

    #  HTTP

    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!)

    Paths are specified as `remote:` or `remote:path`.

    The `remote:` represents the configured [url](#http-url), and any path following
    it will be resolved relative to this url, according to the URL standard. This
    means with remote url `https://beta.rclone.org/branch` and path `fix`, the
    resolved URL will be `https://beta.rclone.org/branch/fix`, while with path
    `/fix` the resolved URL will be `https://beta.rclone.org/fix` as the absolute
    path is resolved from the root of the domain.

    If the path following the `remote:` ends with `/` it will be assumed to point
    to a directory. If the path does not end with `/`, 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 `-vv` to see details). When [--http-no-head](#http-no-head) is
    specified, a path without ending `/` 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 `/`. When you know the path is a directory, ending it with `/` is always
    better as it avoids the initial HEAD request.

    To just download a single file it is easier to use
    [copyurl](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_copyurl/).

    ## Configuration

    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:

No remotes found, make a new one? n) New remote s) Set configuration
password q) Quit config n/s/q> n name> remote Type of storage to
configure. Choose a number from below, or type in your own value [snip]
XX / HTTP  "http" [snip] Storage> http URL of http host to connect to
Choose a number from below, or type in your own value 1 / Connect to
example.com  "https://example.com" url> https://beta.rclone.org Remote
config -------------------- [remote] url = https://beta.rclone.org
-------------------- y) Yes this is OK e) Edit this remote d) Delete
this remote y/e/d> y Current remotes:

Name Type ==== ==== remote http

e)  Edit existing remote
f)  New remote
g)  Delete remote
h)  Rename remote
i)  Copy remote
j)  Set configuration password
k)  Quit config e/n/d/r/c/s/q> q


    This remote is called `remote` and can now be used like this

    See all the top level directories

        rclone lsd remote:

    List the contents of a directory

        rclone ls remote:directory

    Sync the remote `directory` to `/home/local/directory`, deleting any excess files.

        rclone sync --interactive remote:directory /home/local/directory

    ### Read only

    This remote is read only - you can't upload files to an HTTP server.

    ### Modified time

    Most HTTP servers store time accurate to 1 second.

    ### Checksum

    No checksums are stored.

    ### Usage without a config file

    Since the http remote only has one config parameter it is easy to use
    without a config file:

        rclone lsd --http-url https://beta.rclone.org :http:

    or:

        rclone lsd :http,url='https://beta.rclone.org':


    ### Standard options

    Here are the Standard options specific to http (HTTP).

    #### --http-url

    URL of HTTP host to connect to.

    E.g. "https://example.com", or "https://user:pass@example.com" to use a username and password.

    Properties:

    - Config:      url
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_HTTP_URL
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    true

    ### Advanced options

    Here are the Advanced options specific to http (HTTP).

    #### --http-headers

    Set HTTP headers for all transactions.

    Use this to set additional HTTP headers for all transactions.

    The input format is comma separated list of key,value pairs.  Standard
    [CSV encoding](https://godoc.org/encoding/csv) may be used.

    For example, to set a Cookie use 'Cookie,name=value', or '"Cookie","name=value"'.

    You can set multiple headers, e.g. '"Cookie","name=value","Authorization","xxx"'.

    Properties:

    - Config:      headers
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_HTTP_HEADERS
    - Type:        CommaSepList
    - Default:     

    #### --http-no-slash

    Set this if the site doesn't end directories with /.

    Use this if your target website does not use / on the end of
    directories.

    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.

    Note that this may cause rclone to confuse genuine HTML files with
    directories.

    Properties:

    - Config:      no_slash
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_HTTP_NO_SLASH
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --http-no-head

    Don't use HEAD requests.

    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:

    - find its size
    - check it really exists
    - check to see if it is a directory

    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.

    Properties:

    - Config:      no_head
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_HTTP_NO_HEAD
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false



    ## Limitations

    `rclone about` is not supported by the HTTP backend. Backends without
    this capability cannot determine free space for an rclone mount or
    use policy `mfs` (most free space) as a member of an rclone union
    remote.

    See [List of backends that do not support rclone about](https://rclone.org/overview/#optional-features) and [rclone about](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_about/)

    #  Internet Archive

    The Internet Archive backend utilizes Items on [archive.org](https://archive.org/)

    Refer to [IAS3 API documentation](https://archive.org/services/docs/api/ias3.html) for the API this backend uses.

    Paths are specified as `remote:bucket` (or `remote:` for the `lsd`
    command.)  You may put subdirectories in too, e.g. `remote:item/path/to/dir`.

    Unlike S3, listing up all items uploaded by you isn't supported.

    Once you have made a remote, you can use it like this:

    Make a new item

        rclone mkdir remote:item

    List the contents of a item

        rclone ls remote:item

    Sync `/home/local/directory` to the remote item, deleting any excess
    files in the item.

        rclone sync --interactive /home/local/directory remote:item

    ## Notes
    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. [You can check the status of Item Deriver Queue here.](https://catalogd.archive.org/catalog.php?whereami=1) 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.

    You can optionally wait for the server's processing to finish, by setting non-zero value to `wait_archive` key.
    By making it wait, rclone can do normal file comparison.
    Make sure to set a large enough value (e.g. `30m0s` for smaller files) as it can take a long time depending on server's queue.

    ## About metadata
    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.

    The following are reserved by Internet Archive:
    - `name`
    - `source`
    - `size`
    - `md5`
    - `crc32`
    - `sha1`
    - `format`
    - `old_version`
    - `viruscheck`
    - `summation`

    Trying to set values to these keys is ignored with a warning.
    Only setting `mtime` is an exception. Doing so make it the identical behavior as setting ModTime.

    rclone reserves all the keys starting with `rclone-`. Setting value for these keys will give you warnings, but values are set according to request.

    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.

    Reading metadata will also provide custom (non-standard nor reserved) ones.

    ## Filtering auto generated files

    The Internet Archive automatically creates metadata files after
    upload. These can cause problems when doing an `rclone sync` as rclone
    will try, and fail, to delete them. These metadata files are not
    changeable, as they are created by the Internet Archive automatically.

    These auto-created files can be excluded from the sync using [metadata
    filtering](https://rclone.org/filtering/#metadata).

        rclone sync ... --metadata-exclude "source=metadata" --metadata-exclude "format=Metadata"

    Which excludes from the sync any files which have the
    `source=metadata` or `format=Metadata` flags which are added to
    Internet Archive auto-created files.

    ## Configuration

    Here is an example of making an internetarchive configuration.
    Most applies to the other providers as well, any differences are described [below](#providers).

    First run

    #  Jottacloud

    Jottacloud is a cloud storage service provider from a Norwegian company, using its own datacenters
    in Norway. In addition to the official service at [jottacloud.com](https://www.jottacloud.com/),
    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)

    Most of the white-label versions are supported by this backend, although may require different
    authentication setup - described below.

    Paths are specified as `remote:path`

    Paths may be as deep as required, e.g. `remote:directory/subdirectory`.

    ## Authentication types

    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.

    ### Standard authentication

    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: <https://www.jottacloud.com/web/secure>. 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.

    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 [config reconnect](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_config_reconnect/) 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:

        oauth2: cannot fetch token: 400 Bad Request
        Response: {"error":"invalid_grant","error_description":"Stale token"}

    When this happens, you need to replace the token as described above to be able to use your
    remote again.

    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.

    ### Legacy authentication

    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.

    ### Telia Cloud authentication

    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.

    ### Tele2 Cloud authentication

    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 rclone to use Tele2 Cloud,
    choose Tele2 Cloud authentication in the setup. The rest of the setup is identical to the default setup.

    ### Onlime Cloud Storage authentication

    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.

    This, of course, necessitates using their servers for authentication, but otherwise functionality and
    architecture seems equivalent to Jottacloud.

    To setup rclone to use Onlime Cloud Storage, choose Onlime Cloud authentication in the setup. The rest
    of the setup is identical to the default setup.

    ## Configuration

    Here is an example of how to make a remote called `remote` with the default setup.  First run:

        rclone config

    This will guide you through an interactive setup process:

No remotes found, make a new one? n) New remote s) Set configuration
password q) Quit config n/s/q> n name> remote Option Storage. Type of
storage to configure. Choose a number from below, or type in your own
value. [snip] XX / Jottacloud  (jottacloud) [snip] Storage> jottacloud
Edit advanced config? y) Yes n) No (default) y/n> n Option config_type.
Select authentication type. Choose a number from below, or type in an
existing string value. Press Enter for the default (standard). /
Standard authentication. 1 | Use this if you're a normal Jottacloud
user.  (standard) / Legacy authentication. 2 | This is only required for
certain whitelabel versions of Jottacloud and not recommended for normal
users.  (legacy) / Telia Cloud authentication. 3 | Use this if you are
using Telia Cloud.  (telia) / Tele2 Cloud authentication. 4 | Use this
if you are using Tele2 Cloud.  (tele2) / Onlime Cloud authentication. 5
| Use this if you are using Onlime Cloud.  (onlime) config_type> 1
Personal login token. Generate here:
https://www.jottacloud.com/web/secure Login Token> Use a non-standard
device/mountpoint? Choosing no, the default, will let you access the
storage used for the archive section of the official Jottacloud client.
If you instead want to access the sync or the backup section, for
example, you must choose yes. y) Yes n) No (default) y/n> y Option
config_device. The device to use. In standard setup the built-in Jotta
device is used, which contains predefined mountpoints for archive, sync
etc. All other devices are treated as backup devices by the official
Jottacloud client. You may create a new by entering a unique name.
Choose a number from below, or type in your own string value. Press
Enter for the default (DESKTOP-3H31129). 1 > DESKTOP-3H31129 2 > Jotta
config_device> 2 Option config_mountpoint. The mountpoint to use for the
built-in device Jotta. The standard setup is to use the Archive
mountpoint. Most other mountpoints have very limited support in rclone
and should generally be avoided. Choose a number from below, or type in
an existing string value. Press Enter for the default (Archive). 1 >
Archive 2 > Shared 3 > Sync config_mountpoint> 1 --------------------
[remote] type = jottacloud configVersion = 1 client_id = jottacli
client_secret = tokenURL =
https://id.jottacloud.com/auth/realms/jottacloud/protocol/openid-connect/token
token = {........} username = 2940e57271a93d987d6f8a21 device = Jotta
mountpoint = Archive -------------------- y) Yes this is OK (default) e)
Edit this remote d) Delete this remote y/e/d> y


    Once configured you can then use `rclone` like this,

    List directories in top level of your Jottacloud

        rclone lsd remote:

    List all the files in your Jottacloud

        rclone ls remote:

    To copy a local directory to an Jottacloud directory called backup

        rclone copy /home/source remote:backup

    ### Devices and Mountpoints

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    ### --fast-list

    This remote supports `--fast-list` which allows you to use fewer
    transactions in exchange for more memory. See the [rclone
    docs](https://rclone.org/docs/#fast-list) for more details.

    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.

    Note also that with rclone version 1.58 and newer information about
    [MIME types](https://rclone.org/overview/#mime-type) are not available when using `--fast-list`.

    ### Modified time and hashes

    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.

    Jottacloud supports MD5 type hashes, so you can use the `--checksum`
    flag.

    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
    [--temp-dir](https://rclone.org/docs/#temp-dir-dir)) before it is uploaded.
    Small files will be cached in memory - see the
    [--jottacloud-md5-memory-limit](#jottacloud-md5-memory-limit) 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).

    ### Restricted filename characters

    In addition to the [default restricted characters set](https://rclone.org/overview/#restricted-characters)
    the following characters are also replaced:

    | Character | Value | Replacement |
    | --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
    | "         | 0x22  | ＂          |
    | *         | 0x2A  | ＊          |
    | :         | 0x3A  | ：          |
    | <         | 0x3C  | ＜          |
    | >         | 0x3E  | ＞          |
    | ?         | 0x3F  | ？          |
    | \|        | 0x7C  | ｜          |

    Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be [replaced](https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8),
    as they can't be used in XML strings.

    ### Deleting files

    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 [--jottacloud-hard-delete](#jottacloud-hard-delete) flag, or set the equivalent environment variable.
    Emptying the trash is supported by the [cleanup](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_cleanup/) command.

    ### Versions

    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.

    Versioning can be disabled by `--jottacloud-no-versions` 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.

    ### Quota information

    To view your current quota you can use the `rclone about remote:`
    command which will display your usage limit (unless it is unlimited)
    and the current usage.

    #### --jottacloud-encoding

    The encoding for the backend.

    See the [encoding section in the overview](https://rclone.org/overview/#encoding) for more info.

    Properties:

    - Config:      encoding
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_JOTTACLOUD_ENCODING
    - Type:        MultiEncoder
    - Default:     Slash,LtGt,DoubleQuote,Colon,Question,Asterisk,Pipe,Del,Ctl,InvalidUtf8,Dot



    ## Limitations

    Note that Jottacloud is case insensitive so you can't have a file called
    "Hello.doc" and one called "hello.doc".

    There are quite a few characters that can't be in Jottacloud file names. 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.

    Jottacloud only supports filenames up to 255 characters in length.

    ## Troubleshooting

    Jottacloud exhibits some inconsistent behaviours regarding deleted files and folders which may cause Copy, Move and DirMove
    operations to previously deleted paths to fail. Emptying the trash should help in such cases.

    #  Koofr

    Paths are specified as `remote:path`

    Paths may be as deep as required, e.g. `remote:directory/subdirectory`.

    ## Configuration

    The initial setup for Koofr involves creating an application password for
    rclone. You can do that by opening the Koofr
    [web application](https://app.koofr.net/app/admin/preferences/password),
    giving the password a nice name like `rclone` and clicking on generate.

    Here is an example of how to make a remote called `koofr`.  First run:

         rclone config

    This will guide you through an interactive setup process:

No remotes found, make a new one? n) New remote s) Set configuration
password q) Quit config n/s/q> n name> koofr Option Storage. Type of
storage to configure. Choose a number from below, or type in your own
value. [snip] 22 / Koofr, Digi Storage and other Koofr-compatible

config -------------------- [koofr] type = koofr provider = koofr user =
USERNAME password = *** ENCRYPTED *** -------------------- y) Yes this
is OK (default) e) Edit this remote d) Delete this remote y/e/d> y


    You can choose to edit advanced config in order to enter your own service URL
    if you use an on-premise or white label Koofr instance, or choose an alternative
    mount instead of your primary storage.

    Once configured you can then use `rclone` like this,

    List directories in top level of your Koofr

        rclone lsd koofr:

    List all the files in your Koofr

        rclone ls koofr:

    To copy a local directory to an Koofr directory called backup

        rclone copy /home/source koofr:backup

    ### Restricted filename characters

    In addition to the [default restricted characters set](https://rclone.org/overview/#restricted-characters)
    the following characters are also replaced:

    | Character | Value | Replacement |
    | --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
    | \         | 0x5C  | ＼           |

    Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be [replaced](https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8),
    as they can't be used in XML strings.

    ## Providers

    ### Koofr

    This is the original [Koofr](https://koofr.eu) storage provider used as main example and described in the [configuration](#configuration) section above.

    ### Digi Storage 

    [Digi Storage](https://www.digi.ro/servicii/online/digi-storage) is a cloud storage service run by [Digi.ro](https://www.digi.ro/) that
    provides a Koofr API.

    Here is an example of how to make a remote called `ds`.  First run:

         rclone config

    This will guide you through an interactive setup process:

No remotes found, make a new one? n) New remote s) Set configuration

    ### Other

    You may also want to use another, public or private storage provider that runs a Koofr API compatible service, by simply providing the base URL to connect to.

    Here is an example of how to make a remote called `other`.  First run:

         rclone config

    This will guide you through an interactive setup process:

No remotes found, make a new one? n) New remote s) Set configuration

    #  Mail.ru Cloud

    [Mail.ru Cloud](https://cloud.mail.ru/) is a cloud storage provided by a Russian internet company [Mail.Ru Group](https://mail.ru). The official desktop client is [Disk-O:](https://disk-o.cloud/en), available on Windows and Mac OS.

    ## Features highlights

    - Paths may be as deep as required, e.g. `remote:directory/subdirectory`
    - Files have a `last modified time` property, directories don't
    - Deleted files are by default moved to the trash
    - Files and directories can be shared via public links
    - Partial uploads or streaming are not supported, file size must be known before upload
    - Maximum file size is limited to 2G for a free account, unlimited for paid accounts
    - Storage keeps hash for all files and performs transparent deduplication,
      the hash algorithm is a modified SHA1
    - If a particular file is already present in storage, one can quickly submit file hash
      instead of long file upload (this optimization is supported by rclone)

    ## Configuration

    Here is an example of making a mailru configuration.

    First create a Mail.ru Cloud account and choose a tariff.

    You will need to log in and create an app password for rclone. Rclone
    **will not work** with your normal username and password - it will
    give an error like `oauth2: server response missing access_token`.

    - Click on your user icon in the top right
    - Go to Security / "Пароль и безопасность"
    - Click password for apps / "Пароли для внешних приложений"
    - Add the password - give it a name - eg "rclone"
    - Copy the password and use this password below - your normal login password won't work.

    Now run

        rclone config

    This will guide you through an interactive setup process:

No remotes found, make a new one? n) New remote s) Set configuration
password q) Quit config n/s/q> n name> remote Type of storage to
configure. Type of storage to configure. Enter a string value. Press
Enter for the default (""). Choose a number from below, or type in your
own value [snip] XX / Mail.ru Cloud  "mailru" [snip] Storage> mailru
User name (usually email) Enter a string value. Press Enter for the
default (""). user> username@mail.ru Password

This must be an app password - rclone will not work with your normal
password. See the Configuration section in the docs for how to make an
app password. y) Yes type in my own password g) Generate random password
y/g> y Enter the password: password: Confirm the password: password:
Skip full upload if there is another file with same data hash. 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 [snip] Enter a boolean value (true or false). Press Enter for the
default ("true"). Choose a number from below, or type in your own value
1 / Enable  "true" 2 / Disable  "false" speedup_enable> 1 Edit advanced
config? (y/n) y) Yes n) No y/n> n Remote config --------------------
[remote] type = mailru user = username@mail.ru pass = *** ENCRYPTED ***
speedup_enable = true -------------------- y) Yes this is OK e) Edit
this remote d) Delete this remote y/e/d> y


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

    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 --interactive /home/local/directory remote:directory

    ### Modified time

    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".

    ### Hash checksums

    Hash sums use 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.
    Hash sum of a larger file is computed as a SHA1 sum of the file data
    bytes concatenated with a decimal representation of the data length.

    ### Emptying Trash

    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 `rclone cleanup remote:` command,
    which will permanently delete all your trashed files.
    This command does not take any path arguments.

    ### Quota information

    To view your current quota you can use the `rclone about remote:`
    command which will display your usage limit (quota) and the current usage.

    ### Restricted filename characters

    In addition to the [default restricted characters set](https://rclone.org/overview/#restricted-characters)
    the following characters are also replaced:

    | Character | Value | Replacement |
    | --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
    | "         | 0x22  | ＂          |
    | *         | 0x2A  | ＊          |
    | :         | 0x3A  | ：          |
    | <         | 0x3C  | ＜          |
    | >         | 0x3E  | ＞          |
    | ?         | 0x3F  | ？          |
    | \         | 0x5C  | ＼          |
    | \|        | 0x7C  | ｜          |

    Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be [replaced](https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8),
    as they can't be used in JSON strings.


    ### Standard options

    Here are the Standard options specific to mailru (Mail.ru Cloud).

    #### --mailru-client-id

    OAuth Client Id.

    Leave blank normally.

    Properties:

    - Config:      client_id
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_MAILRU_CLIENT_ID
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --mailru-client-secret

    OAuth Client Secret.

    Leave blank normally.

    Properties:

    - Config:      client_secret
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_MAILRU_CLIENT_SECRET
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --mailru-user

    User name (usually email).

    Properties:

    - Config:      user
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_MAILRU_USER
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    true

    #### --mailru-pass

    Password.

    This must be an app password - rclone will not work with your normal
    password. See the Configuration section in the docs for how to make an
    app password.


    **NB** Input to this must be obscured - see [rclone obscure](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_obscure/).

    Properties:

    - Config:      pass
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_MAILRU_PASS
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    true

    #### --mailru-speedup-enable

    Skip full upload if there is another file with same data hash.

    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.

    Properties:

    - Config:      speedup_enable
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_MAILRU_SPEEDUP_ENABLE
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     true
    - Examples:
        - "true"
            - Enable
        - "false"
            - Disable

    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --mailru-speedup-file-patterns

    Comma separated list of file name patterns eligible for speedup (put by hash).

    Patterns are case insensitive and can contain '*' or '?' meta characters.

    Properties:

    - Config:      speedup_file_patterns
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_MAILRU_SPEEDUP_FILE_PATTERNS
    - Type:        string
    - Default:     "*.mkv,*.avi,*.mp4,*.mp3,*.zip,*.gz,*.rar,*.pdf"
    - Examples:
        - ""
            - Empty list completely disables speedup (put by hash).
        - "*"
            - All files will be attempted for speedup.
        - "*.mkv,*.avi,*.mp4,*.mp3"
            - Only common audio/video files will be tried for put by hash.
        - "*.zip,*.gz,*.rar,*.pdf"
            - Only common archives or PDF books will be tried for speedup.

    #### --mailru-speedup-max-disk

    This option allows you to disable speedup (put by hash) for large files.

    Reason is that preliminary hashing can exhaust your RAM or disk space.

    Properties:

    - Config:      speedup_max_disk
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_MAILRU_SPEEDUP_MAX_DISK
    - Type:        SizeSuffix

    ## Limitations

    File size limits depend on your account. A single file size is limited by 2G
    for a free account and unlimited for paid tariffs. Please refer to the Mail.ru
    site for the total uploaded size limits.

    Note that Mailru is case insensitive so you can't have a file called
    "Hello.doc" and one called "hello.doc".

    #  Mega

    [Mega](https://mega.nz/) is a cloud storage and file hosting service
    known for its security feature where all files are encrypted locally
    before they are uploaded. This prevents anyone (including employees of
    Mega) from accessing the files without knowledge of the key used for
    encryption.

    This is an rclone backend for Mega which supports the file transfer
    features of Mega using the same client side encryption.

    Paths are specified as `remote:path`

    Paths may be as deep as required, e.g. `remote:directory/subdirectory`.

    ## Configuration

    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:

No remotes found, make a new one? n) New remote s) Set configuration
password q) Quit config n/s/q> n name> remote Type of storage to
configure. Choose a number from below, or type in your own value [snip]
XX / Mega  "mega" [snip] Storage> mega User name user> you@example.com
Password. y) Yes type in my own password g) Generate random password n)
No leave this optional password blank y/g/n> y Enter the password:
password: Confirm the password: password: Remote config
-------------------- [remote] type = mega user = you@example.com pass =
*** ENCRYPTED *** -------------------- y) Yes this is OK e) Edit this
remote d) Delete this remote y/e/d> y


    **NOTE:** The encryption keys need to have been already generated after a regular login
    via the browser, otherwise attempting to use the credentials in `rclone` will fail.

    Once configured you can then use `rclone` like this,

    List directories in top level of your Mega

        rclone lsd remote:

    List all the files in your Mega

        rclone ls remote:

    To copy a local directory to an Mega directory called backup

        rclone copy /home/source remote:backup

    ### Modified time and hashes

    Mega does not support modification times or hashes yet.

    ### Restricted filename characters

    | Character | Value | Replacement |
    | --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
    | NUL       | 0x00  | ␀           |
    | /         | 0x2F  | ／          |

    Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be [replaced](https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8),
    as they can't be used in JSON strings.

    ### Duplicated files

    Mega can have two files with exactly the same name and path (unlike a
    normal file system).

    Duplicated files cause problems with the syncing and you will see
    messages in the log about duplicates.

    Use `rclone dedupe` to fix duplicated files.

    ### Failure to log-in

    #### Object not found

    If you are connecting to your Mega remote for the first time, 
    to test access and synchronization, you may receive an error such as 

Failed to create file system for "my-mega-remote:": couldn't login:
Object (typically, node or user) not found


    The diagnostic steps often recommended in the [rclone forum](https://forum.rclone.org/search?q=mega)
    start with the **MEGAcmd** 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. 

    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. 

MEGA CMD> login me@example.com Password: Fetching nodes ... Loading
transfers from local cache Login complete as me@example.com
me@example.com:/$


    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.


    #### Repeated commands blocks access

    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.

    For example, executing this command 90 times in a row `rclone link
    remote:file` 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.

    You can mitigate this issue by mounting the remote it with `rclone
    mount`. This will log-in when mounting and a log-out when unmounting
    only. You can also run `rclone rcd` and then use `rclone rc` to run
    the commands over the API to avoid logging in each time.

    Rclone does not currently close mega sessions (you can see them in the
    web interface), however closing the sessions does not solve the issue.

    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...

    Note that this has been observed by trial and error and might not be
    set in stone.

    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.

    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.

    Investigation is continuing in relation to workarounds based on
    timeouts, pacers, retrials and tpslimits - if you discover something
    relevant, please post on the forum.

    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.


    ### Standard options

    Here are the Standard options specific to mega (Mega).

    #### --mega-user

    User name.

    Properties:

    - Config:      user
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_MEGA_USER
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    true

    #### --mega-pass

    Password.

    **NB** Input to this must be obscured - see [rclone obscure](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_obscure/).

    Properties:

    - Config:      pass
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_MEGA_PASS
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    true

    ### Advanced options

    Here are the Advanced options specific to mega (Mega).

    #### --mega-debug

    Output more debug from Mega.

    If this flag is set (along with -vv) it will print further debugging
    information from the mega backend.

    Properties:

    - Config:      debug
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_MEGA_DEBUG
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --mega-hard-delete

    Delete files permanently rather than putting them into the trash.

    Normally the mega backend will put all deletions into the trash rather
    than permanently deleting them.  If you specify this then rclone will
    permanently delete objects instead.

    Properties:

    - Config:      hard_delete
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_MEGA_HARD_DELETE
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --mega-use-https

    Use HTTPS for transfers.

    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.

    Properties:

    - Config:      use_https
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_MEGA_USE_HTTPS
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --mega-encoding

    The encoding for the backend.

    See the [encoding section in the overview](https://rclone.org/overview/#encoding) for more info.

    Properties:

    - Config:      encoding
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_MEGA_ENCODING
    - Type:        MultiEncoder
    - Default:     Slash,InvalidUtf8,Dot



    ### Process `killed`

    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 [at this issue](https://forum.rclone.org/t/rclone-with-mega-appears-to-work-only-in-some-accounts/40233/4).

    ## Limitations

    This backend uses the [go-mega go library](https://github.com/t3rm1n4l/go-mega) which is an opensource
    go library implementing the Mega API. There doesn't appear to be any
    documentation for the mega protocol beyond the [mega C++ SDK](https://github.com/meganz/sdk) source code
    so there are likely quite a few errors still remaining in this library.

    Mega allows duplicate files which may confuse rclone.

    #  Memory

    The memory backend is an in RAM backend. It does not persist its
    data - use the local backend for that.

    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
    `:memory:` remote name.

    ## Configuration

    You can configure it as a remote like this with `rclone config` too if
    you want to:

No remotes found, make a new one? n) New remote s) Set configuration
password q) Quit config n/s/q> n name> remote Type of storage to
configure. Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default ("").
Choose a number from below, or type in your own value [snip] XX / Memory
 "memory" [snip] Storage> memory ** See help for memory backend at:
https://rclone.org/memory/ **

Remote config

  ---------------
  [remote]
  type = memory
  ---------------

y)  Yes this is OK (default)
z)  Edit this remote
a)  Delete this remote y/e/d> y


    Because the memory backend isn't persistent it is most useful for
    testing or with an rclone server or rclone mount, e.g.

        rclone mount :memory: /mnt/tmp
        rclone serve webdav :memory:
        rclone serve sftp :memory:

    ### Modified time and hashes

    The memory backend supports MD5 hashes and modification times accurate to 1 nS.

    ### Restricted filename characters

    The memory backend replaces the [default restricted characters
    set](https://rclone.org/overview/#restricted-characters).




    #  Akamai NetStorage

    Paths are specified as `remote:`
    You may put subdirectories in too, e.g. `remote:/path/to/dir`.
    If you have a CP code you can use that as the folder after the domain such as \<domain>\/\<cpcode>\/\<internal directories within cpcode>.

    For example, this is commonly configured with or without a CP code:
    * **With a CP code**. `[your-domain-prefix]-nsu.akamaihd.net/123456/subdirectory/`
    * **Without a CP code**. `[your-domain-prefix]-nsu.akamaihd.net`


    See all buckets
       rclone lsd remote:
    The initial setup for Netstorage involves getting an account and secret. Use `rclone config` to walk you through the setup process.

    ## Configuration

    Here's an example of how to make a remote called `ns1`.

    1. To begin the interactive configuration process, enter this command:

rclone config


    2. Type `n` to create a new remote.

n)  New remote
o)  Delete remote
p)  Quit config e/n/d/q> n


    3. For this example, enter `ns1` when you reach the name> prompt.

name> ns1


    4. Enter `netstorage` as the type of storage to configure.

Type of storage to configure. Enter a string value. Press Enter for the
default (""). Choose a number from below, or type in your own value XX /
NetStorage  "netstorage" Storage> netstorage


    5. Select between the HTTP or HTTPS protocol. Most users should choose HTTPS, which is the default. HTTP is provided primarily for debugging purposes.

Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default (""). Choose a number
from below, or type in your own value 1 / HTTP protocol  "http" 2 /
HTTPS protocol  "https" protocol> 1


    6. Specify your NetStorage host, CP code, and any necessary content paths using this format: `<domain>/<cpcode>/<content>/`

Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default (""). host>
baseball-nsu.akamaihd.net/123456/content/


    7. Set the netstorage account name

Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default (""). account>
username


    8. Set the Netstorage account secret/G2O key which will be used for authentication purposes. Select the `y` option to set your own password then enter your secret.
    Note: The secret is stored in the `rclone.conf` file with hex-encoded encryption.

y)  Yes type in my own password
z)  Generate random password y/g> y Enter the password: password:
    Confirm the password: password:


    9. View the summary and confirm your remote configuration.

[ns1] type = netstorage protocol = http host =
baseball-nsu.akamaihd.net/123456/content/ account = username secret =
*** ENCRYPTED *** -------------------- y) Yes this is OK (default) e)
Edit this remote d) Delete this remote y/e/d> y


    This remote is called `ns1` and can now be used.

    ## Example operations

    Get started with rclone and NetStorage with these examples. For additional rclone commands, visit https://rclone.org/commands/.

    ### See contents of a directory in your project

        rclone lsd ns1:/974012/testing/

    ### Sync the contents local with remote

        rclone sync . ns1:/974012/testing/

    ### Upload local content to remote
        rclone copy notes.txt ns1:/974012/testing/

    ### Delete content on remote
        rclone delete ns1:/974012/testing/notes.txt

    ### Move or copy content between CP codes.

    Your credentials must have access to two CP codes on the same remote. You can't perform operations between different remotes.

        rclone move ns1:/974012/testing/notes.txt ns1:/974450/testing2/

    ## Features

    ### Symlink Support

    The Netstorage backend changes the rclone `--links, -l` 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.

    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.

    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.

    **Note**: 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.

    ### Implicit vs. Explicit Directories

    With NetStorage, directories can exist in one of two forms:

    1. **Explicit Directory**. This is an actual, physical directory that you have created in a storage group.
    2. **Implicit Directory**. 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.

    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.

    ### `--fast-list` / ListR support

    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.

    * **Rclone will use the ListR method for some commands by default**. Commands such as `lsf -R` will use ListR by default. To disable this, include the `--disable listR` option to use the non-recursive method of listing objects.

    * **Rclone will not use the ListR method for some commands**. Commands such as `sync` don't use ListR by default. To force using the ListR method, include the  `--fast-list` option.

    There are pros and cons of using the ListR method, refer to [rclone documentation](https://rclone.org/docs/#fast-list). 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.

    **Note**: 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.

    ### Purge

    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.

    **Note**: Read the [NetStorage Usage API](https://learn.akamai.com/en-us/webhelp/netstorage/netstorage-http-api-developer-guide/GUID-15836617-9F50-405A-833C-EA2556756A30.html) 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.

        rclone sync --interactive /home/local/directory remote:container

    ### --fast-list

    This remote supports `--fast-list` which allows you to use fewer
    transactions in exchange for more memory. See the [rclone
    docs](https://rclone.org/docs/#fast-list) for more details.

    ### Modified time

    The modified time is stored as metadata on the object with the `mtime`
    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.

    If you wish to use the Azure standard `LastModified` time stored on
    the object as the modified time, then use the `--use-server-modtime`
    flag. Note that rclone can't set `LastModified`, so using the
    `--update` flag when syncing is recommended if using
    `--use-server-modtime`.

    ### Performance

    When uploading large files, increasing the value of
    `--azureblob-upload-concurrency` 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.

    ### Restricted filename characters

    In addition to the [default restricted characters set](https://rclone.org/overview/#restricted-characters)
    the following characters are also replaced:

    | Character | Value | Replacement |
    | --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
    | /         | 0x2F  | ／           |
    | \         | 0x5C  | ＼           |

    File names can also not end with the following characters.
    These only get replaced if they are the last character in the name:

    | Character | Value | Replacement |
    | --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
    | .         | 0x2E  | ．          |

    Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be [replaced](https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8),
    as they can't be used in JSON strings.

    ### Hashes

    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.

    ### Authentication {#authentication}

    There are a number of ways of supplying credentials for Azure Blob
    Storage. Rclone tries them in the order of the sections below.

    #### Env Auth

    If the `env_auth` config parameter is `true` then rclone will pull
    credentials from the environment or runtime.

    It tries these authentication methods in this order:

    1. Environment Variables
    2. Managed Service Identity Credentials
    3. Azure CLI credentials (as used by the az tool)

    These are described in the following sections

    ##### Env Auth: 1. Environment Variables

    If `env_auth` 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:

    1. Service principal with client secret
        - `AZURE_TENANT_ID`: ID of the service principal's tenant. Also called its "directory" ID.
        - `AZURE_CLIENT_ID`: the service principal's client ID
        - `AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET`: one of the service principal's client secrets
    2. Service principal with certificate
        - `AZURE_TENANT_ID`: ID of the service principal's tenant. Also called its "directory" ID.
        - `AZURE_CLIENT_ID`: the service principal's client ID
        - `AZURE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE_PATH`: path to a PEM or PKCS12 certificate file including the private key.
        - `AZURE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD`: (optional) password for the certificate file.
        - `AZURE_CLIENT_SEND_CERTIFICATE_CHAIN`: (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.
    3. User with username and password
        - `AZURE_TENANT_ID`: (optional) tenant to authenticate in. Defaults to "organizations".
        - `AZURE_CLIENT_ID`: client ID of the application the user will authenticate to
        - `AZURE_USERNAME`: a username (usually an email address)
        - `AZURE_PASSWORD`: the user's password
    4. Workload Identity
        - `AZURE_TENANT_ID`: Tenant to authenticate in.
        - `AZURE_CLIENT_ID`: Client ID of the application the user will authenticate to.
        - `AZURE_FEDERATED_TOKEN_FILE`: Path to projected service account token file.
        - `AZURE_AUTHORITY_HOST`: Authority of an Azure Active Directory endpoint (default: login.microsoftonline.com).


    ##### Env Auth: 2. Managed Service Identity Credentials

    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.

    If the resource has multiple user-assigned identities you will need to
    unset `env_auth` and set `use_msi` instead. See the [`use_msi`
    section](#use_msi).

    ##### Env Auth: 3. Azure CLI credentials (as used by the az tool)

    Credentials created with the `az` tool can be picked up using `env_auth`.

    For example if you were to login with a service principal like this:

        az login --service-principal -u XXX -p XXX --tenant XXX

    Then you could access rclone resources like this:

        rclone lsf :azureblob,env_auth,account=ACCOUNT:CONTAINER

    Or

        rclone lsf --azureblob-env-auth --azureblob-account=ACCOUNT :azureblob:CONTAINER

    Which is analogous to using the `az` tool:

        az storage blob list --container-name CONTAINER --account-name ACCOUNT --auth-mode login

    #### Account and Shared Key

    This is the most straight forward and least flexible way.  Just fill
    in the `account` and `key` lines and leave the rest blank.

    #### SAS URL

    This can be an account level SAS URL or container level SAS URL.

    To use it leave `account` and `key` blank and fill in `sas_url`.

    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.

    If you use a container level SAS URL, rclone operations are permitted
    only on a particular container, e.g.

        rclone ls azureblob:container

    You can also list the single container from the root. This will only
    show the container specified by the SAS URL.

        $ rclone lsd azureblob:
        container/

    Note that you can't see or access any other containers - this will
    fail

        rclone ls azureblob:othercontainer

    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.

    #### Service principal with client secret

    If these variables are set, rclone will authenticate with a service principal with a client secret.

    - `tenant`: ID of the service principal's tenant. Also called its "directory" ID.
    - `client_id`: the service principal's client ID
    - `client_secret`: one of the service principal's client secrets

    The credentials can also be placed in a file using the
    `service_principal_file` configuration option.

    #### Service principal with certificate

    If these variables are set, rclone will authenticate with a service principal with certificate.

    - `tenant`: ID of the service principal's tenant. Also called its "directory" ID.
    - `client_id`: the service principal's client ID
    - `client_certificate_path`: path to a PEM or PKCS12 certificate file including the private key.
    - `client_certificate_password`: (optional) password for the certificate file.
    - `client_send_certificate_chain`: (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.

    **NB** `client_certificate_password` must be obscured - see [rclone obscure](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_obscure/).

    #### User with username and password

    If these variables are set, rclone will authenticate with username and password.

    - `tenant`: (optional) tenant to authenticate in. Defaults to "organizations".
    - `client_id`: client ID of the application the user will authenticate to
    - `username`: a username (usually an email address)
    - `password`: the user's password

    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.

    **NB** `password` must be obscured - see [rclone obscure](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_obscure/).

    #### Managed Service Identity Credentials {#use_msi}

    If `use_msi` is set then managed service identity credentials are
    used. This authentication only works when running in an Azure service.
    `env_auth` needs to be unset to use this.

    However if you have multiple user identities to choose from these must
    be explicitly specified using exactly one of the `msi_object_id`,
    `msi_client_id`, or `msi_mi_res_id` parameters.

    If none of `msi_object_id`, `msi_client_id`, or `msi_mi_res_id` is
    set, this is is equivalent to using `env_auth`.

    **NB** Input to this must be obscured - see [rclone obscure](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_obscure/).

    Properties:

    - Config:      client_certificate_password
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_AZUREBLOB_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    Here are the Advanced options specific to azureblob (Microsoft Azure Blob Storage).

    #### --azureblob-client-send-certificate-chain

    Send the certificate chain when using certificate auth.

    Specifies whether an authentication request will include an x5c header
    to support subject name / issuer based authentication. When set to
    true, authentication requests include the x5c header.

    Optionally set this if using
    - Service principal with certificate


    Properties:

    - Config:      client_send_certificate_chain
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_AZUREBLOB_CLIENT_SEND_CERTIFICATE_CHAIN
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --azureblob-username

        $ az ad sp create-for-rbac --name "<name>" \
          --role "Storage Blob Data Owner" \
          --scopes "/subscriptions/<subscription>/resourceGroups/<resource-group>/providers/Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/<storage-account>/blobServices/default/containers/<container>" \
          > azure-principal.json

    See ["Create an Azure service principal"](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/create-an-azure-service-principal-azure-cli) and ["Assign an Azure role for access to blob data"](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-auth-aad-rbac-cli) pages for more details.

    It may be more convenient to put the credentials directly into the
    rclone config file under the `client_id`, `tenant` and `client_secret`
    keys instead of setting `service_principal_file`.


    Properties:

    - Config:      service_principal_file
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_AZUREBLOB_SERVICE_PRINCIPAL_FILE
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --azureblob-use-msi

    Use a managed service identity to authenticate (only works in Azure).

    When true, use a [managed service identity](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/managed-identities-azure-resources/)
    to authenticate to Azure Storage instead of a SAS token or account key.

    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. If the resource has multiple user-assigned
    identities, the identity to use must be explicitly specified using exactly one of the msi_object_id,
    msi_client_id, or msi_mi_res_id parameters.

    Properties:

    - Config:      use_msi
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_AZUREBLOB_USE_MSI
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --azureblob-msi-object-id

    Object ID of the user-assigned MSI to use, if any.

    Leave blank if msi_client_id or msi_mi_res_id specified.

    Properties:

    - Config:      msi_object_id
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_AZUREBLOB_MSI_OBJECT_ID
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --azureblob-msi-client-id

    Object ID of the user-assigned MSI to use, if any.

    Leave blank if msi_object_id or msi_mi_res_id specified.

    Properties:

    - Config:      msi_client_id
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_AZUREBLOB_MSI_CLIENT_ID
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --azureblob-msi-mi-res-id

    Azure resource ID of the user-assigned MSI to use, if any.

    Leave blank if msi_client_id or msi_object_id specified.

    Properties:

    - Config:      msi_mi_res_id
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_AZUREBLOB_MSI_MI_RES_ID
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --azureblob-use-emulator

    Uses local storage emulator if provided as 'true'.

    Leave blank if using real azure storage endpoint.

    Properties:

    - Config:      use_emulator
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_AZUREBLOB_USE_EMULATOR
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --azureblob-endpoint

    Endpoint for the service.

    Leave blank normally.

    Properties:

    - Config:      endpoint
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_AZUREBLOB_ENDPOINT
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --azureblob-upload-cutoff

    Cutoff for switching to chunked upload (<= 256 MiB) (deprecated).

    Properties:

    - Config:      upload_cutoff
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_AZUREBLOB_UPLOAD_CUTOFF
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --azureblob-chunk-size

    Upload chunk size.

    Note that this is stored in memory and there may be up to
    "--transfers" * "--azureblob-upload-concurrency" chunks stored at once
    in memory.

    Properties:

    - Config:      chunk_size
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_AZUREBLOB_CHUNK_SIZE
    - Type:        SizeSuffix
    - Default:     4Mi

    #### --azureblob-upload-concurrency

    Concurrency for multipart uploads.

    This is the number of chunks of the same file that are uploaded
    concurrently.

    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.

    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.

    Note that chunks are stored in memory and there may be up to
    "--transfers" * "--azureblob-upload-concurrency" chunks stored at once
    in memory.

    Properties:

    - Config:      upload_concurrency
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_AZUREBLOB_UPLOAD_CONCURRENCY
    - Type:        int
    - Default:     16

    #### --azureblob-list-chunk

    Size of blob list.

    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 (
    [source](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/setting-timeouts-for-blob-service-operations#exceptions-to-default-timeout-interval)
    ). This can be used to limit the number of blobs items to return, to
    avoid the time out.

    Properties:

    - Config:      list_chunk
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_AZUREBLOB_LIST_CHUNK
    - Type:        int
    - Default:     5000

    #### --azureblob-access-tier

    Access tier of blob: hot, cool or archive.

    Archived blobs can be restored by setting access tier to hot or
    cool. Leave blank if you intend to use default access tier, which is
    set at account level

    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" or "Cool".

    Properties:

    - Config:      access_tier
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_AZUREBLOB_ACCESS_TIER
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --azureblob-archive-tier-delete

    Delete archive tier blobs before overwriting.

    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:

        can't update archive tier blob without --azureblob-archive-tier-delete

    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.


    Properties:

    - Config:      archive_tier_delete
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_AZUREBLOB_ARCHIVE_TIER_DELETE
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --azureblob-disable-checksum

    Don't store MD5 checksum with object metadata.

    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.

    Properties:

    - Config:      disable_checksum
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_AZUREBLOB_DISABLE_CHECKSUM
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --azureblob-memory-pool-flush-time

    How often internal memory buffer pools will be flushed. (no longer used)

    Properties:

    - Config:      memory_pool_flush_time
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_AZUREBLOB_MEMORY_POOL_FLUSH_TIME
    - Type:        Duration
    - Default:     1m0s

    #### --azureblob-memory-pool-use-mmap

    Whether to use mmap buffers in internal memory pool. (no longer used)

    Properties:

    - Config:      memory_pool_use_mmap
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_AZUREBLOB_MEMORY_POOL_USE_MMAP
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --azureblob-encoding

    The encoding for the backend.

    See the [encoding section in the overview](https://rclone.org/overview/#encoding) for more info.

    Properties:

    - Config:      encoding
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_AZUREBLOB_ENCODING
    - Type:        MultiEncoder
    - Default:     Slash,BackSlash,Del,Ctl,RightPeriod,InvalidUtf8

    #### --azureblob-public-access

    Public access level of a container: blob or container.

    Properties:

    - Config:      public_access
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_AZUREBLOB_PUBLIC_ACCESS
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false
    - Examples:
        - ""
            - The container and its blobs can be accessed only with an authorized request.
            - It's a default value.
        - "blob"
            - Blob data within this container can be read via anonymous request.
        - "container"
            - Allow full public read access for container and blob data.

    #### --azureblob-directory-markers

    Upload an empty object with a trailing slash when a new directory is created

    Empty folders are unsupported for bucket based remotes, this option
    creates an empty object ending with "/", to persist the folder.

    This object also has the metadata "hdi_isfolder = true" to conform to
    the Microsoft standard.
     

    Properties:

    - Config:      directory_markers
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_AZUREBLOB_DIRECTORY_MARKERS
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --azureblob-no-check-container

    If set, don't attempt to check the container exists or create it.

    This can be useful when trying to minimise the number of transactions
    rclone does if you know the container exists already.


    Properties:

    - Config:      no_check_container
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_AZUREBLOB_NO_CHECK_CONTAINER
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --azureblob-no-head-object

    If set, do not do HEAD before GET when getting objects.

    Properties:

    - Config:      no_head_object
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_AZUREBLOB_NO_HEAD_OBJECT
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false



    ### Custom upload headers

    You can set custom upload headers with the `--header-upload` flag. 

    - Cache-Control
    - Content-Disposition
    - Content-Encoding
    - Content-Language
    - Content-Type

    Eg `--header-upload "Content-Type: text/potato"`

    ## Limitations

    MD5 sums are only uploaded with chunked files if the source has an MD5
    sum.  This will always be the case for a local to azure copy.

    `rclone about` 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 `mfs` (most free space) as a member of an rclone union
    remote.

    See [List of backends that do not support rclone about](https://rclone.org/overview/#optional-features) and [rclone about](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_about/)

    ## Azure Storage Emulator Support

    You can run rclone with the storage emulator (usually _azurite_).

    To do this, just set up a new remote with `rclone config` following
    the instructions in the introduction and set `use_emulator` in the
    advanced settings as `true`. You do not need to provide a default
    account name nor an account key. But you can override them in the
    `account` and `key` options. (Prior to v1.61 they were hard coded to
    _azurite_'s `devstoreaccount1`.)

    Also, if you want to access a storage emulator instance running on a
    different machine, you can override the `endpoint` parameter in the
    advanced settings, setting it to
    `http(s)://<host>:<port>/devstoreaccount1`
    (e.g. `http://10.254.2.5:10000/devstoreaccount1`).

    #  Microsoft OneDrive

    Paths are specified as `remote:path`

    Paths may be as deep as required, e.g. `remote:directory/subdirectory`.

    ## Configuration

    The initial setup for OneDrive involves getting a token from
    Microsoft 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:

e)  Edit existing remote
f)  New remote
g)  Delete remote
h)  Rename remote
i)  Copy remote
j)  Set configuration password
k)  Quit config e/n/d/r/c/s/q> n name> remote Type of storage to
    configure. Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default ("").
    Choose a number from below, or type in your own value [snip] XX /
    Microsoft OneDrive  "onedrive" [snip] Storage> onedrive Microsoft
    App Client Id Leave blank normally. Enter a string value. Press
    Enter for the default (""). client_id> Microsoft App Client Secret
    Leave blank normally. Enter a string value. Press Enter for the
    default (""). client_secret> Edit advanced config? (y/n)
l)  Yes
m)  No y/n> n Remote config Use web browser to automatically
    authenticate rclone with remote?

-   Say Y if the machine running rclone has a web browser you can use
-   Say N if running rclone on a (remote) machine without web browser
    access If not sure try Y. If Y failed, try N.

y)  Yes
z)  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

    drive_type = business --------------------
c)  Yes this is OK
d)  Edit this remote
e)  Delete this remote y/e/d> y


    See the [remote setup docs](https://rclone.org/remote_setup/) 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 Microsoft. 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 OneDrive

        rclone lsd remote:

    List all the files in your OneDrive

        rclone ls remote:

    To copy a local directory to an OneDrive directory called backup

        rclone copy /home/source remote:backup

    ### Getting your own Client ID and Key

    rclone uses a default Client ID when talking to OneDrive, unless a custom `client_id` is specified in the config.
    The default Client ID and Key are shared by all rclone users when performing requests.

    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.

    #### Creating Client ID for OneDrive Personal

    To create your own Client ID, please follow these steps:

    1. Open https://portal.azure.com/#blade/Microsoft_AAD_RegisteredApps/ApplicationsListBlade and then click `New registration`.
    2. Enter a name for your app, choose account type `Accounts in any organizational directory (Any Azure AD directory - Multitenant) and personal Microsoft accounts (e.g. Skype, Xbox)`, select `Web` in `Redirect URI`, then type (do not copy and paste) `http://localhost:53682/` and click Register. Copy and keep the `Application (client) ID` under the app name for later use.
    3. Under `manage` select `Certificates & secrets`, click `New client secret`. Enter a description (can be anything) and set `Expires` to 24 months. Copy and keep that secret _Value_ for later use (you _won't_ be able to see this value afterwards).
    4. Under `manage` select `API permissions`, click `Add a permission` and select `Microsoft Graph` then select `delegated permissions`.
    5. Search and select the following permissions: `Files.Read`, `Files.ReadWrite`, `Files.Read.All`, `Files.ReadWrite.All`, `offline_access`, `User.Read` and `Sites.Read.All` (if custom access scopes are configured, select the permissions accordingly). Once selected click `Add permissions` at the bottom.

    Now the application is complete. Run `rclone config` 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.

    The access_scopes option allows you to configure the permissions requested by rclone.
    See [Microsoft Docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/permissions-reference#files-permissions) for more information about the different scopes.

    The `Sites.Read.All` permission is required if you need to [search SharePoint sites when configuring the remote](https://github.com/rclone/rclone/pull/5883). However, if that permission is not assigned, you need to exclude `Sites.Read.All` from your access scopes or set `disable_site_permission` option to true in the advanced options.

    #### Creating Client ID for OneDrive Business

    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.

    You may try to [verify you account](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/publisher-verification-overview), or try to limit the App to your organization only, as shown below.

    1. Make sure to create the App with your business account.
    2. Follow the steps above to create an App. However, we need a different account type here: `Accounts in this organizational directory only (*** - Single tenant)`. Note that you can also change the account type after creating the App.
    3. Find the [tenant ID](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/fundamentals/active-directory-how-to-find-tenant) of your organization.
    4. In the rclone config, set `auth_url` to `https://login.microsoftonline.com/YOUR_TENANT_ID/oauth2/v2.0/authorize`.
    5. In the rclone config, set `token_url` to `https://login.microsoftonline.com/YOUR_TENANT_ID/oauth2/v2.0/token`.

    Note: If you have a special region, you may need a different host in step 4 and 5. Here are [some hints](https://github.com/rclone/rclone/blob/bc23bf11db1c78c6ebbf8ea538fbebf7058b4176/backend/onedrive/onedrive.go#L86).


    ### Modification time and hashes

    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.

    OneDrive Personal, OneDrive for Business and Sharepoint Server support
    [QuickXorHash](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/developer/code-snippets/quickxorhash).

    Before rclone 1.62 the default hash for Onedrive Personal was `SHA1`.
    For rclone 1.62 and above the default for all Onedrive backends is
    `QuickXorHash`.

    Starting from July 2023 `SHA1` support is being phased out in Onedrive
    Personal in favour of `QuickXorHash`. If necessary the
    `--onedrive-hash-type` flag (or `hash_type` config option) can be used
    to select `SHA1` during the transition period if this is important
    your workflow.

    For all types of OneDrive you can use the `--checksum` flag.

    ### Restricted filename characters

    In addition to the [default restricted characters set](https://rclone.org/overview/#restricted-characters)
    the following characters are also replaced:

    | Character | Value | Replacement |
    | --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
    | "         | 0x22  | ＂          |
    | *         | 0x2A  | ＊          |
    | :         | 0x3A  | ：          |
    | <         | 0x3C  | ＜          |
    | >         | 0x3E  | ＞          |
    | ?         | 0x3F  | ？          |
    | \         | 0x5C  | ＼          |
    | \|        | 0x7C  | ｜          |

    File names can also not end with the following characters.
    These only get replaced if they are the last character in the name:

    | Character | Value | Replacement |
    | --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
    | SP        | 0x20  | ␠           |
    | .         | 0x2E  | ．          |

    File names can also not begin with the following characters.
    These only get replaced if they are the first character in the name:

    | Character | Value | Replacement |
    | --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
    | SP        | 0x20  | ␠           |
    | ~         | 0x7E  | ～          |

    Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be [replaced](https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8),
    as they can't be used in JSON strings.

    ### 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 OneDrive website.

    - Required:    false

    #### --onedrive-root-folder-id

    ID of the root folder.

    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.


    Properties:

    - Config:      root_folder_id
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_ONEDRIVE_ROOT_FOLDER_ID
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --onedrive-access-scopes

    Set scopes to be requested by rclone.

    Choose or manually enter a custom space separated list with all scopes, that rclone should request.


    Properties:

    - Config:      access_scopes
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_ONEDRIVE_ACCESS_SCOPES
    - Type:        SpaceSepList
    - Default:     Files.Read Files.ReadWrite Files.Read.All Files.ReadWrite.All Sites.Read.All offline_access
    - Examples:
        - "Files.Read Files.ReadWrite Files.Read.All Files.ReadWrite.All Sites.Read.All offline_access"
            - Read and write access to all resources
        - "Files.Read Files.Read.All Sites.Read.All offline_access"
            - Read only access to all resources
        - "Files.Read Files.ReadWrite Files.Read.All Files.ReadWrite.All offline_access"
            - Read and write access to all resources, without the ability to browse SharePoint sites. 
            - Same as if disable_site_permission was set to true

    #### --onedrive-disable-site-permission

    Disable the request for Sites.Read.All permission.

    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.

    Properties:

    - Config:      disable_site_permission
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_ONEDRIVE_DISABLE_SITE_PERMISSION
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --onedrive-expose-onenote-files

    Set to make OneNote files show up in directory listings.

    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.

    Properties:

    - Config:      expose_onenote_files
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_ONEDRIVE_EXPOSE_ONENOTE_FILES
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --onedrive-server-side-across-configs

    Deprecated: use --server-side-across-configs instead.

    Allow server-side operations (e.g. copy) to work across different onedrive configs.

    This will only work if you are copying between two OneDrive *Personal* drives AND
    the files to copy are already shared between them.  In other cases, rclone will
    fall back to normal copy (which will be slightly slower).

    Properties:

    - Config:      server_side_across_configs
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_ONEDRIVE_SERVER_SIDE_ACROSS_CONFIGS
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --onedrive-list-chunk

    Size of listing chunk.

    Properties:

    - Config:      list_chunk
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_ONEDRIVE_LIST_CHUNK
    - Type:        int
    - Default:     1000

    #### --onedrive-no-versions

    Remove all versions on modifying operations.

    Onedrive for business creates versions when rclone uploads new files
    overwriting an existing one and when it sets the modification time.

    These versions take up space out of the quota.

    This flag checks for versions after file upload and setting
    modification time and removes all but the last version.

    **NB** Onedrive personal can't currently delete versions so don't use
    this flag there.


    Properties:

    - Config:      no_versions
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_ONEDRIVE_NO_VERSIONS
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --onedrive-link-scope

    Set the scope of the links created by the link command.

    Properties:

    - Config:      link_scope
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_ONEDRIVE_LINK_SCOPE
    - Type:        string
    - Default:     "anonymous"
    - Examples:
        - "anonymous"
            - Anyone with the link has access, without needing to sign in.
            - This may include people outside of your organization.
            - Anonymous link support may be disabled by an administrator.
        - "organization"
            - Anyone signed into your organization (tenant) can use the link to get access.
            - Only available in OneDrive for Business and SharePoint.

    #### --onedrive-link-type

    Set the type of the links created by the link command.

    Properties:

    - Config:      link_type
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_ONEDRIVE_LINK_TYPE
    - Type:        string
    - Default:     "view"
    - Examples:
        - "view"
            - Creates a read-only link to the item.
        - "edit"
            - Creates a read-write link to the item.
        - "embed"
            - Creates an embeddable link to the item.

    #### --onedrive-link-password

    Set the password for links created by the link command.

    At the time of writing this only works with OneDrive personal paid accounts.


    Properties:

    - Config:      link_password
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_ONEDRIVE_LINK_PASSWORD
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --onedrive-hash-type

    Specify the hash in use for the backend.

    This specifies the hash type in use. If set to "auto" it will use the
    default hash which is QuickXorHash.

    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.

    From July 2023 QuickXorHash will be the only available hash for
    both OneDrive for Business and OneDriver Personal.

    This can be set to "none" to not use any hashes.

    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.


    Properties:

    - Config:      hash_type
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_ONEDRIVE_HASH_TYPE
    - Type:        string
    - Default:     "auto"
    - Examples:
        - "auto"
            - Rclone chooses the best hash
        - "quickxor"
            - QuickXor
        - "sha1"

            - CRC32
        - "none"
            - None - don't use any hashes

    #### --onedrive-av-override

    Allows download of files the server thinks has a virus.

    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.

    In this case you will see a message like this

        server reports this file is infected with a virus - use --onedrive-av-override to download anyway: Infected (name of virus): 403 Forbidden: 

    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.


    Properties:

    - Config:      av_override
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_ONEDRIVE_AV_OVERRIDE
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --onedrive-encoding

    The encoding for the backend.

    See the [encoding section in the overview](https://rclone.org/overview/#encoding) for more info.

    Properties:

    - Config:      encoding
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_ONEDRIVE_ENCODING
    - Type:        MultiEncoder
    - Default:     Slash,LtGt,DoubleQuote,Colon,Question,Asterisk,Pipe,BackSlash,Del,Ctl,LeftSpace,LeftTilde,RightSpace,RightPeriod,InvalidUtf8,Dot



    ## Limitations

    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 `rclone config reconnect remote:` command to get a
    new token and refresh token.

    ### Naming

    Note that OneDrive is case insensitive so you can't have a
    file called "Hello.doc" and one called "hello.doc".

    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 `?`
    in it will be mapped to `？` instead.

    ### File sizes

    The largest allowed file size is 250 GiB for both OneDrive Personal and OneDrive for Business [(Updated 13 Jan 2021)](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&rs=en-us&ad=us#individualfilesize).

    ### Path length

    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.

    ### Number of files

    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 `couldn’t
    list files: UnknownError:`.  See
    [#2707](https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/2707) for more info.

    An official document about the limitations for different types of OneDrive can be found [here](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).

    ## Versions

    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.

    For example the `copy` 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.

    You can use the `rclone cleanup` command (see below) to remove all old
    versions.

    Or you can set the `no_versions` parameter to `true` and rclone will
    remove versions after operations which create new versions. This takes
    extra transactions so only enable it if you need it.

    **Note** 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 `no_versions` should not
    be used on Onedrive Personal.

    ### Disabling versioning

    Starting October 2018, users will no longer be able to
    disable versioning by default. This is because Microsoft has brought
    an
    [update](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-OneDrive-Blog/New-Updates-to-OneDrive-and-SharePoint-Team-Site-Versioning/ba-p/204390)
    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:

    1. `Install-Module -Name Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell` (in case you haven't installed this already)
    2. `Import-Module Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell -DisableNameChecking`
    3. `Connect-SPOService -Url https://YOURSITE-admin.sharepoint.com -Credential YOU@YOURSITE.COM` (replacing `YOURSITE`, `YOU`, `YOURSITE.COM` with the actual values; this will prompt for your credentials)
    4. `Set-SPOTenant -EnableMinimumVersionRequirement $False`
    5. `Disconnect-SPOService` (to disconnect from the server)

    *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.*

    User [Weropol](https://github.com/Weropol) has found a method to disable
    versioning on OneDrive

    1. Open the settings menu by clicking on the gear symbol at the top of the OneDrive Business page.
    2. Click Site settings.
    3. Once on the Site settings page, navigate to Site Administration > Site libraries and lists.
    4. Click Customize "Documents".
    5. Click General Settings > Versioning Settings.
    6. 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.
    7. Apply the changes by clicking OK.
    8. Use rclone to upload or modify files. (I also use the --no-update-modtime flag)
    9. Restore the versioning settings after using rclone. (Optional)

    ## Cleanup

    OneDrive supports `rclone cleanup` 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
    `--checkers` tests in parallel. The command also supports `--interactive`/`i`
    or `--dry-run` which is a great way to see what it would do.

        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

    **NB** Onedrive personal can't currently delete versions

    ## Troubleshooting ##

    ### Excessive throttling or blocked on SharePoint

    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: `--user-agent "ISV|rclone.org|rclone/v1.55.1"`

    The specific details can be found in the Microsoft document: [Avoid getting throttled or blocked in SharePoint Online](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)

    ### Unexpected file size/hash differences on Sharepoint ####

    It is a
    [known](https://github.com/OneDrive/onedrive-api-docs/issues/935#issuecomment-441741631)
    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:

--ignore-checksum --ignore-size


    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 [OneDrive](https://onedrive.live.com) 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.

    ### Replacing/deleting existing files on Sharepoint gets "item not found" ####

    It is a [known](https://github.com/OneDrive/onedrive-api-docs/issues/1068) 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 `--backup-dir <BACKUP_DIR>` 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 `rclone-backup-dir` on backend `mysharepoint`, you may use:

--backup-dir mysharepoint:rclone-backup-dir


    ### access\_denied (AADSTS65005) ####

Error: access_denied Code: AADSTS65005 Description: Using application
'rclone' 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.


    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.

    However, there are other ways to interact with your OneDrive account. Have a look at the WebDAV backend: https://rclone.org/webdav/#sharepoint

    ### invalid\_grant (AADSTS50076) ####

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
'...'.


    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 `rclone config`, and choose to edit your OneDrive backend. Then, you don't need to actually make any changes until you reach this question: `Already have a token - refresh?`. For this question, answer `y` 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.

    ### Invalid request when making public links ####

    On Sharepoint and OneDrive for Business, `rclone link` 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:
    [1](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/turn-external-sharing-on-or-off),
    [2](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/set-up-and-manage-access-requests-94b26e0b-2822-49d4-929a-8455698654b3).

    ### Can not access `Shared` with me files

    Shared with me files is not supported by rclone [currently](https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/4062), but there is a workaround:

    1. Visit [https://onedrive.live.com](https://onedrive.live.com/)
    2. Right click a item in `Shared`, then click `Add shortcut to My files` in the context
        ![make_shortcut](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/60313789/206118040-7e762b3b-aa61-41a1-8649-cc18889f3572.png "Screenshot (Shared with me)")
    3. The shortcut will appear in `My files`, you can access it with rclone, it behaves like a normal folder/file.
        ![in_my_files](https://i.imgur.com/0S8H3li.png "Screenshot (My Files)")
        ![rclone_mount](https://i.imgur.com/2Iq66sW.png "Screenshot (rclone mount)")

    ### Live Photos uploaded from iOS (small video clips in .heic files)

    The iOS OneDrive app introduced [upload and storage](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-onedrive-blog/live-photos-come-to-onedrive/ba-p/1953452) 
    of [Live Photos](https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT207310) 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.

    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.

    The different sizes will cause `rclone copy/sync` to repeatedly recopy unmodified photos something like this:

        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)

    These recopies can be worked around by adding `--ignore-size`. 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.

    The different sizes will also cause `rclone check` to report size errors something like this:

        ERROR : 20230203_123826234_iOS.heic: sizes differ

    These check errors can be suppressed by adding `--ignore-size`.

    The different sizes will also cause `rclone mount` to fail downloading with an error something like this:

        ERROR : 20230203_123826234_iOS.heic: ReadFileHandle.Read error: low level retry 1/10: unexpected EOF

    or like this when using `--cache-mode=full`:

        INFO  : 20230203_123826234_iOS.heic: vfs cache: downloader: error count now 1: vfs reader: failed to write to cache file: 416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable:
        ERROR : 20230203_123826234_iOS.heic: vfs cache: failed to download: vfs reader: failed to write to cache file: 416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable:

    #  OpenDrive

    Paths are specified as `remote:path`

    Paths may be as deep as required, e.g. `remote:directory/subdirectory`.

    ## Configuration

    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
o)  Delete remote
p)  Quit config e/n/d/q> n name> remote Type of storage to configure.
    Choose a number from below, or type in your own value [snip] XX /
    OpenDrive  "opendrive" [snip] Storage> opendrive Username username>
    Password
q)  Yes type in my own password
r)  Generate random password y/g> y Enter the password: password:
    Confirm the password: password: -------------------- [remote]
    username = password = *** ENCRYPTED *** --------------------
s)  Yes this is OK
t)  Edit this remote
u)  Delete this remote y/e/d> y


    List directories in top level of your OpenDrive

        rclone lsd remote:

    List all the files in your OpenDrive

        rclone ls remote:

    To copy a local directory to an OpenDrive directory called backup

        rclone copy /home/source remote:backup

    ### Modified time and MD5SUMs

    OpenDrive allows modification times to be set on objects accurate to 1
    second. These will be used to detect whether objects need syncing or
    not.

    ### Restricted filename characters

    | Character | Value | Replacement |
    | --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
    | NUL       | 0x00  | ␀           |
    | /         | 0x2F  | ／          |
    | "         | 0x22  | ＂          |
    | *         | 0x2A  | ＊          |
    | :         | 0x3A  | ：          |
    | <         | 0x3C  | ＜          |
    | >         | 0x3E  | ＞          |
    | ?         | 0x3F  | ？          |
    | \         | 0x5C  | ＼          |
    | \|        | 0x7C  | ｜          |

    File names can also not begin or end with the following characters.
    These only get replaced if they are the first or last character in the name:

    | Character | Value | Replacement |
    | --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
    | SP        | 0x20  | ␠           |
    | HT        | 0x09  | ␉           |
    | LF        | 0x0A  | ␊           |
    | VT        | 0x0B  | ␋           |
    | CR        | 0x0D  | ␍           |


    Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be [replaced](https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8),
    as they can't be used in JSON strings.


    ### Standard options

    Here are the Standard options specific to opendrive (OpenDrive).

    #### --opendrive-username

    - Required:    true

    ### Advanced options

    Here are the Advanced options specific to opendrive (OpenDrive).

    #### --opendrive-encoding

    The encoding for the backend.

    See the [encoding section in the overview](https://rclone.org/overview/#encoding) for more info.

    Properties:

    - Config:      encoding
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_OPENDRIVE_ENCODING

    #### --opendrive-chunk-size

    Files will be uploaded in chunks this size.

    Note that these chunks are buffered in memory so increasing them will
    increase memory use.

    Properties:

    - Config:      chunk_size
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_OPENDRIVE_CHUNK_SIZE
    - Type:        SizeSuffix
    - Default:     10Mi



    ## Limitations

    Note that OpenDrive is case insensitive so you can't have a
    file called "Hello.doc" and one called "hello.doc".

    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 `?`
    in it will be mapped to `？` instead.

    `rclone about` is not supported by the OpenDrive backend. Backends without
    this capability cannot determine free space for an rclone mount or
    use policy `mfs` (most free space) as a member of an rclone union
    remote.

    See [List of backends that do not support rclone about](https://rclone.org/overview/#optional-features) and [rclone about](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_about/)

    OCI has various authentication methods. To learn more about authentication methods please refer [oci authentication 
    methods](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/API/Concepts/sdk_authentication_methods.htm) 
    These choices can be specified in the rclone config file.

    Rclone supports the following OCI authentication provider.

        User Principal
        Instance Principal
        Resource Principal
        No authentication

    ### User Principal
    Sample rclone config file for Authentication Provider User Principal:

        [oos]
        type = oracleobjectstorage
        namespace = id<redacted>34
        compartment = ocid1.compartment.oc1..aa<redacted>ba
        region = us-ashburn-1
        provider = user_principal_auth
        config_file = /home/opc/.oci/config
        config_profile = Default

    Advantages:
    - One can use this method from any server within OCI or on-premises or from other cloud provider.

    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.

    ###  Instance Principal
    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.

    Sample rclone configuration file for Authentication Provider Instance Principal:

        [opc@rclone ~]$ cat ~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf
        [oos]
        type = oracleobjectstorage
        namespace = id<redacted>fn
        compartment = ocid1.compartment.oc1..aa<redacted>k7a
        region = us-ashburn-1
        provider = instance_principal_auth

    Advantages:

    - 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.
    - You don’t need to deal with users and keys.
    - Greatly helps in automation as you don't have to manage access keys, user private keys, storing them in vault, 
      using kms etc.

    Considerations:

    - You need to configure a dynamic group having this instance as member and add policy to read object storage to that 
      dynamic group.
    - Everyone who has access to this machine can execute the CLI commands.
    - It is applicable for oci compute instances only. It cannot be used on external instance or resources.

    ### Resource Principal
    Resource principal auth is very similar to instance principal auth but used for resources that are not 
    compute instances such as [serverless functions](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Functions/Concepts/functionsoverview.htm). 
    To use resource principal ensure Rclone process is started with these environment variables set in its process.

        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

    Sample rclone configuration file for Authentication Provider Resource Principal:

        [oos]
        type = oracleobjectstorage
        namespace = id<redacted>34
        compartment = ocid1.compartment.oc1..aa<redacted>ba
        region = us-ashburn-1
        provider = resource_principal_auth

    ### No authentication
    Public buckets do not require any authentication mechanism to read objects.
    Sample rclone configuration file for No authentication:
        
        [oos]
        type = oracleobjectstorage
        namespace = id<redacted>34
        compartment = ocid1.compartment.oc1..aa<redacted>ba
        region = us-ashburn-1
        provider = no_auth

    ## Options
    ### Modified time

    The modified time is stored as metadata on the object as
    `opc-meta-mtime` as floating point since the epoch, accurate to 1 ns.

    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.

    Note that reading this from the object takes an additional `HEAD` request as the metadata
    isn't returned in object listings.

    ### Multipart uploads

    rclone supports multipart uploads with OOS which means that it can
    upload files bigger than 5 GiB.

    Note that files uploaded *both* with multipart upload *and* through
    crypt remotes do not have MD5 sums.

    rclone switches from single part uploads to multipart uploads at the
    point specified by `--oos-upload-cutoff`.  This can be a maximum of 5 GiB
    and a minimum of 0 (ie always upload multipart files).

    The chunk sizes used in the multipart upload are specified by
    `--oos-chunk-size` and the number of chunks uploaded concurrently is
    specified by `--oos-upload-concurrency`.

    Multipart uploads will use `--transfers` * `--oos-upload-concurrency` *
    `--oos-chunk-size` extra memory.  Single part uploads to not use extra
    memory.

    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.

    Increasing `--oos-upload-concurrency` will increase throughput (8 would
    be a sensible value) and increasing `--oos-chunk-size` 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.


    ### Standard options

    Here are the Standard options specific to oracleobjectstorage (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage).

    #### --oos-provider

    Choose your Auth Provider

    Properties:

    - Config:      provider
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_OOS_PROVIDER
    - Type:        string
    - Default:     "env_auth"
    - Examples:

        - "user_principal_auth"
            - use an OCI user and an API key for authentication.
            - you’ll need to put in a config file your tenancy OCID, user OCID, region, the path, fingerprint to an API key.
            - https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/API/Concepts/sdkconfig.htm
        - "instance_principal_auth"
            - use instance principals to authorize an instance to make API calls. 
            - each instance has its own identity, and authenticates using the certificates that are read from instance metadata. 
            - https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Identity/Tasks/callingservicesfrominstances.htm
        - "resource_principal_auth"
            - use resource principals to make API calls

    ### Advanced options

    Here are the Advanced options specific to oracleobjectstorage (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage).

    #### --oos-storage-tier

    The storage class to use when storing new objects in storage. https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Object/Concepts/understandingstoragetiers.htm

    Properties:

    - Config:      storage_tier
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_OOS_STORAGE_TIER
    - Type:        string
    - Default:     "Standard"
    - Examples:
        - "Standard"

        - "InfrequentAccess"
            - InfrequentAccess storage tier
        - "Archive"
            - Archive storage tier

    #### --oos-upload-cutoff

    Cutoff for switching to chunked upload.

    Any files larger than this will be uploaded in chunks of chunk_size.
    The minimum is 0 and the maximum is 5 GiB.

    Properties:

    - Config:      upload_cutoff
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_OOS_UPLOAD_CUTOFF
    - Type:        SizeSuffix
    - Default:     200Mi

    #### --oos-chunk-size

    Chunk size to use for uploading.

    When uploading files larger than upload_cutoff or files with unknown
    size (e.g. from "rclone rcat" or uploaded with "rclone mount" they will be uploaded 
    as multipart uploads using this chunk size.

    Note that "upload_concurrency" chunks of this size are buffered
    in memory per transfer.

    If you are transferring large files over high-speed links and you have
    enough memory, then increasing this will speed up the transfers.

    Rclone will automatically increase the chunk size when uploading a
    large file of known size to stay below the 10,000 chunks limit.

    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.

    Increasing the chunk size decreases the accuracy of the progress
    statistics displayed with "-P" flag.


    Properties:

    - Config:      chunk_size
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_OOS_CHUNK_SIZE
    - Type:        SizeSuffix
    - Default:     5Mi

    #### --oos-max-upload-parts

    Maximum number of parts in a multipart upload.

    This option defines the maximum number of multipart chunks to use
    when doing a multipart upload.

    OCI has max parts limit of 10,000 chunks.

    Rclone will automatically increase the chunk size when uploading a
    large file of a known size to stay below this number of chunks limit.


    Properties:

    - Config:      max_upload_parts
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_OOS_MAX_UPLOAD_PARTS
    - Type:        int
    - Default:     10000

    #### --oos-upload-concurrency

    Concurrency for multipart uploads.

    This is the number of chunks of the same file that are uploaded
    concurrently.

    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.

    Properties:

    - Config:      upload_concurrency
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_OOS_UPLOAD_CONCURRENCY
    - Type:        int
    - Default:     10

    #### --oos-copy-cutoff

    Cutoff for switching to multipart copy.

    Any files larger than this that need to be server-side copied will be
    copied in chunks of this size.

    The minimum is 0 and the maximum is 5 GiB.

    Properties:

    - Config:      copy_cutoff
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_OOS_COPY_CUTOFF
    - Type:        SizeSuffix
    - Default:     4.656Gi

    #### --oos-copy-timeout

    Timeout for copy.

    Copy is an asynchronous operation, specify timeout to wait for copy to succeed


    Properties:

    - Config:      copy_timeout
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_OOS_COPY_TIMEOUT
    - Type:        Duration
    - Default:     1m0s

    #### --oos-disable-checksum

    Don't store MD5 checksum with object metadata.

    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.

    Properties:

    - Config:      disable_checksum
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_OOS_DISABLE_CHECKSUM
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --oos-encoding

    The encoding for the backend.

    See the [encoding section in the overview](https://rclone.org/overview/#encoding) for more info.

    Properties:

    - Config:      encoding
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_OOS_ENCODING
    - Type:        MultiEncoder
    - Default:     Slash,InvalidUtf8,Dot

    #### --oos-leave-parts-on-error

    If true avoid calling abort upload on a failure, leaving all successfully uploaded parts for manual recovery.

    It should be set to true for resuming uploads across different sessions.

    WARNING: Storing parts of an incomplete multipart upload counts towards space usage on object storage and will add
    additional costs if not cleaned up.


    Properties:

    - Config:      leave_parts_on_error
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_OOS_LEAVE_PARTS_ON_ERROR
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --oos-attempt-resume-upload

    If true attempt to resume previously started multipart upload for the object.
    This will be helpful to speed up multipart transfers by resuming uploads from past session.

    WARNING: If chunk size differs in resumed session from past incomplete session, then the resumed multipart upload is 
    aborted and a new multipart upload is started with the new chunk size.

    The flag leave_parts_on_error must be true to resume and optimize to skip parts that were already uploaded successfully.


    Properties:

    - Config:      attempt_resume_upload
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_OOS_ATTEMPT_RESUME_UPLOAD
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --oos-no-check-bucket

    If set, don't attempt to check the bucket exists or create it.

    This can be useful when trying to minimise the number of transactions
    rclone does if you know the bucket exists already.

    It can also be needed if the user you are using does not have bucket
    creation permissions.


    Properties:

    - Config:      no_check_bucket
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_OOS_NO_CHECK_BUCKET
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    ## Tutorials
    ### [Mounting Buckets](https://rclone.org/oracleobjectstorage/tutorial_mount/)

    #  QingStor

    Paths are specified as `remote:bucket` (or `remote:` for the `lsd`
    command.)  You may put subdirectories in too, e.g. `remote:bucket/path/to/dir`.

    ## Configuration

    Here is an example of making an QingStor configuration.  First run

        rclone config

    This will guide you through an interactive setup process.

        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 --interactive /home/local/directory remote:bucket

    ### --fast-list

    This remote supports `--fast-list` which allows you to use fewer
    transactions in exchange for more memory. See the [rclone
    docs](https://rclone.org/docs/#fast-list) for more details.

    ### Multipart uploads

    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.

    Note that incomplete multipart uploads older than 24 hours can be
    removed with `rclone cleanup remote:bucket` just for one bucket
    `rclone cleanup remote:` for all buckets. QingStor does not ever
    remove incomplete multipart uploads so it may be necessary to run this
    from time to time.

    ### Buckets and Zone

    With QingStor you can list buckets (`rclone lsd`) 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, `incorrect zone, the bucket is not in 'XXX'
    zone`.

    ### Authentication

    There are two ways to supply `rclone` with a set of QingStor
    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: `QS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` or `QS_ACCESS_KEY`
         - Secret Access Key: `QS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` or `QS_SECRET_KEY`

    ### Restricted filename characters

    The control characters 0x00-0x1F and / are replaced as in the [default
    restricted characters set](https://rclone.org/overview/#restricted-characters).  Note
    that 0x7F is not replaced.

    Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be [replaced](https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8),
    as they can't be used in JSON strings.

    ### Advanced options

    Here are the Advanced options specific to qingstor (QingCloud Object Storage).

    #### --qingstor-connection-retries

    Number of connection retries.

    Properties:

    - Config:      connection_retries
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_QINGSTOR_CONNECTION_RETRIES
    - Type:        int
    - Default:     3

    #### --qingstor-upload-cutoff

    #### --qingstor-chunk-size

    Chunk size to use for uploading.

    When uploading files larger than upload_cutoff they will be uploaded
    as multipart uploads using this chunk size.

    Note that "--qingstor-upload-concurrency" chunks of this size are buffered
    in memory per transfer.

    If you are transferring large files over high-speed links and you have
    enough memory, then increasing this will speed up the transfers.

    Properties:

    - Config:      chunk_size
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_QINGSTOR_CHUNK_SIZE
    - Type:        SizeSuffix

    #### --qingstor-upload-concurrency

    Concurrency for multipart uploads.

    This is the number of chunks of the same file that are uploaded
    concurrently.

    NB if you set this to > 1 then the checksums of multipart uploads
    become corrupted (the uploads themselves are not corrupted though).

    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.

    Properties:

    - Config:      upload_concurrency
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_QINGSTOR_UPLOAD_CONCURRENCY
    - Type:        int
    - Default:     1

    #### --qingstor-encoding

    The encoding for the backend.

    See the [encoding section in the overview](https://rclone.org/overview/#encoding) for more info.

    Properties:

    - Config:      encoding
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_QINGSTOR_ENCODING
    - Type:        MultiEncoder
    - Default:     Slash,Ctl,InvalidUtf8



    ## Limitations

    `rclone about` is not supported by the qingstor backend. Backends without
    this capability cannot determine free space for an rclone mount or
    use policy `mfs` (most free space) as a member of an rclone union
    remote.

    See [List of backends that do not support rclone about](https://rclone.org/overview/#optional-features) and [rclone about](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_about/)

    #  Quatrix

    Quatrix by Maytech is [Quatrix Secure Compliant File Sharing | Maytech](https://www.maytech.net/products/quatrix-business).

    Paths are specified as `remote:path`

    Paths may be as deep as required, e.g., `remote:directory/subdirectory`.

    The initial setup for Quatrix involves getting an API Key from Quatrix. You can get the API key in the user's profile at `https://<account>/profile/api-keys`
    or with the help of the API - https://docs.maytech.net/quatrix/quatrix-api/api-explorer#/API-Key/post_api_key_create.

    See complete Swagger documentation for Quatrix - https://docs.maytech.net/quatrix/quatrix-api/api-explorer

    ## Configuration

    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:

No remotes found, make a new one? n) New remote s) Set configuration
password q) Quit config n/s/q> n name> remote Type of storage to
configure. Choose a number from below, or type in your own value [snip]
XX / Quatrix by Maytech  "quatrix" [snip] Storage> quatrix API key for
accessing Quatrix account. api_key> your_api_key Host name of Quatrix
account. host> example.quatrix.it

  --------------------
  [remote] api_key =
  your_api_key host =
  example.quatrix.it
  --------------------
  y) Yes this is OK e)
  Edit this remote d)
  Delete this remote
  y/e/d> y ```

  Once configured you
  can then use rclone
  like this,

  List directories in
  top level of your
  Quatrix

  rclone lsd remote:

  List all the files
  in your Quatrix

  rclone ls remote:

  To copy a local
  directory to an
  Quatrix directory
  called backup

  rclone copy
  /home/source
  remote:backup

  ### API key validity

  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 Key can be
  enabled back. If the
  API Key was deleted
  and a new key was
  created, you can
  update it in rclone
  config. The same
  happens if the
  hostname was
  changed.

  ``` $ rclone config
  Current remotes:

  Name Type ==== ====
  remote quatrix

  e) Edit existing
  remote n) New remote
  d) Delete remote r)
  Rename remote c)
  Copy remote s) Set
  configuration
  password q) Quit
  config
  e/n/d/r/c/s/q> e
  Choose a number from
  below, or type in an
  existing value 1 >
  remote remote>
  remote
  --------------------

[remote] type = quatrix host = some_host.quatrix.it api_key =
your_api_key -------------------- Edit remote Option api_key. API key
for accessing Quatrix account Enter a string value. Press Enter for the
default (your_api_key) api_key> Option host. Host name of Quatrix
account Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default
(some_host.quatrix.it).

  --------------------------------------------------
  [remote] type = quatrix host =
  some_host.quatrix.it api_key = your_api_key
  --------------------------------------------------
  y) Yes this is OK e) Edit this remote d) Delete
  this remote y/e/d> y ```

  ### Modified time and hashes

  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.

  Quatrix does not support hashes, so you cannot use
  the --checksum flag.

  ### Restricted filename characters

  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 . or .. nor contain / , \ or
  non-printable ascii.

  ### Transfers

  For files above 50 MiB rclone will use a chunked
  transfer. Rclone will upload up to --transfers
  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 --transfers 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
  maximal_summary_chunk_size and minimal_chunk_size
  * transfers), 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
  minimal_chunk_size.

  ### Deleting files

  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.

  ### Standard options

  Here are the Standard options specific to quatrix
  (Quatrix by Maytech).

  #### --quatrix-api-key

  API key for accessing Quatrix account

  Properties:

  - Config: api_key - Env Var:
  RCLONE_QUATRIX_API_KEY - Type: string - Required:
  true

  #### --quatrix-host

  Host name of Quatrix account

  Properties:

  - Config: host - Env Var: RCLONE_QUATRIX_HOST -
  Type: string - Required: true

  ### Advanced options

  Here are the Advanced options specific to quatrix
  (Quatrix by Maytech).

  #### --quatrix-encoding

  The encoding for the backend.

  See the encoding section in the overview for more
  info.

  Properties:

  - Config: encoding - Env Var:
  RCLONE_QUATRIX_ENCODING - Type: MultiEncoder -
  Default: Slash,BackSlash,Del,Ctl,InvalidUtf8,Dot

  #### --quatrix-effective-upload-time

  Wanted upload time for one chunk

  Properties:

  - Config: effective_upload_time - Env Var:
  RCLONE_QUATRIX_EFFECTIVE_UPLOAD_TIME - Type:
  string - Default: "4s"

  #### --quatrix-minimal-chunk-size

  The minimal size for one chunk

  Properties:

  RCLONE_QUATRIX_MINIMAL_CHUNK_SIZE - Type:
  SizeSuffix - Default: 9.537Mi

  #### --quatrix-maximal-summary-chunk-size

  The maximal summary for all chunks. It should not
  be less than 'transfers'*'minimal_chunk_size'

  Properties:

  - Config: maximal_summary_chunk_size - Env Var:
  RCLONE_QUATRIX_MAXIMAL_SUMMARY_CHUNK_SIZE - Type:
  SizeSuffix - Default: 95.367Mi

  #### --quatrix-hard-delete

  Delete files permanently rather than putting them
  into the trash.

  Properties:

  - Config: hard_delete - Env Var:
  RCLONE_QUATRIX_HARD_DELETE - Type: bool - Default:
  false

  ## Storage usage

  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.

  ## Server-side operations

  Quatrix supports server-side operations (copy and
  move). In case of conflict, files are overwritten
  during server-side operation.

  # Sia

  Sia (sia.tech) is a decentralized cloud storage
  platform based on the blockchain 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 support
  documentation.

  ## Introduction

  Before you can use rclone with Sia, you will need
  to have a running copy of Sia-UI or siad (the Sia
  daemon) locally on your computer or on local
  network (e.g. a NAS). Please follow the Get
  started guide and install one.

  rclone interacts with Sia network by talking to
  the Sia daemon via HTTP API which is usually
  available on port 9980. 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 http://127.0.0.1:9980 making external
  access impossible).

  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 Sia daemon installed
  directly or in a docker container because Sia-UI
  does not support this mode natively. - Run it on
  externally accessible port, for example provide
  --api-addr :9980 and --disable-api-security
  arguments on the daemon command line. - Enforce
  API password for the siad daemon via environment
  variable SIA_API_PASSWORD or text file named
  apipassword in the daemon directory. - Set rclone
  backend option api_password taking it from above
  locations.

  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
  siac wallet unlock. Alternatively you can make
  siad unlock your wallet automatically upon startup
  by running it with environment variable
  SIA_WALLET_PASSWORD. 2. If siad cannot find the
  SIA_API_PASSWORD variable or the apipassword file
  in the SIA_DIR directory, it will generate a
  random password and store in the text file named
  apipassword under YOUR_HOME/.sia/ directory on
  Unix or
  C:\Users\YOUR_HOME\AppData\Local\Sia\apipassword
  on Windows. Remember this when you configure
  password in rclone. 3. The only way to use siad
  without API password is to run it on localhost
  with command line argument --authorize-api=false,
  but this is insecure and strongly discouraged.

  ## Configuration

  Here is an example of how to make a sia remote
  called mySia. First, run:

  rclone config

  This will guide you through an interactive setup
  process:

  ``` No remotes found, make a new one? n) New
  remote s) Set configuration password q) Quit
  config n/s/q> n name> mySia Type of storage to
  configure. Enter a string value. Press Enter for
  the default (""). Choose a number from below, or
  type in your own value ... 29 / Sia Decentralized
  Cloud  "sia" ... Storage> sia Sia daemon API URL,
  like http://sia.daemon.host:9980. Note that siad
  must run with --disable-api-security to open API
  port for other hosts (not recommended). Keep
  default if Sia daemon runs on localhost. Enter a
  string value. Press Enter for the default
  ("http://127.0.0.1:9980"). api_url>
  http://127.0.0.1:9980 Sia Daemon API Password. Can
  be found in the apipassword file located in
  HOME/.sia/ or in the daemon directory. y) Yes type
  in my own password g) Generate random password n)
  No leave this optional password blank (default)
  y/g/n> y Enter the password: password: Confirm the
  password: password: Edit advanced config? y) Yes
  n) No (default) y/n> n
  --------------------------------------------------

[mySia] type = sia api_url = http://127.0.0.1:9980 api_password = ***
ENCRYPTED *** -------------------- y) Yes this is OK (default) e) Edit
this remote d) Delete this remote y/e/d> y


    Once configured, you can then use `rclone` like this:

    - List directories in top level of your Sia storage

rclone lsd mySia:


    - List all the files in your Sia storage

rclone ls mySia:


    - Upload a local directory to the Sia directory called _backup_

rclone copy /home/source mySia:backup



    ### Standard options

    Here are the Standard options specific to sia (Sia Decentralized Cloud).

    #### --sia-api-url

    Sia daemon API URL, like http://sia.daemon.host:9980.

    Note that siad must run with --disable-api-security to open API port for other hosts (not recommended).
    Keep default if Sia daemon runs on localhost.

    Properties:

    - Config:      api_url
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_SIA_API_URL
    - Type:        string
    - Default:     "http://127.0.0.1:9980"

    #### --sia-api-password

    Sia Daemon API Password.

    Can be found in the apipassword file located in HOME/.sia/ or in the daemon directory.

    **NB** Input to this must be obscured - see [rclone obscure](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_obscure/).

    Properties:

    - Config:      api_password
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_SIA_API_PASSWORD
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    ### Advanced options

    Here are the Advanced options specific to sia (Sia Decentralized Cloud).

    #### --sia-user-agent

    Siad User Agent

    Sia daemon requires the 'Sia-Agent' user agent by default for security

    Properties:

    - Config:      user_agent
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_SIA_USER_AGENT
    - Type:        string
    - Default:     "Sia-Agent"

    #### --sia-encoding

    The encoding for the backend.

    See the [encoding section in the overview](https://rclone.org/overview/#encoding) for more info.

    Properties:

    - Config:      encoding
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_SIA_ENCODING
    - Type:        MultiEncoder
    - Default:     Slash,Question,Hash,Percent,Del,Ctl,InvalidUtf8,Dot



    ## Limitations

    - Modification times not supported
    - Checksums not supported
    - `rclone about` not supported
    - rclone can work only with _Siad_ or _Sia-UI_ at the moment,
      the **SkyNet daemon is not supported yet.**
    - Sia does not allow control characters or symbols like question and pound
      signs in file names. rclone will transparently [encode](https://rclone.org/overview/#encoding)
      them for you, but you'd better be aware

    #  Swift

    Swift refers to [OpenStack Object Storage](https://docs.openstack.org/swift/latest/).
    Commercial implementations of that being:

      * [Rackspace Cloud Files](https://www.rackspace.com/cloud/files/)
      * [Memset Memstore](https://www.memset.com/cloud/storage/)
      * [OVH Object Storage](https://www.ovh.co.uk/public-cloud/storage/object-storage/)

        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 --interactive /home/local/directory remote:container

    ### Configuration from an OpenStack credentials file

    An OpenStack credentials file typically looks something something
    like this (without the comments)

export OS_AUTH_URL=https://a.provider.net/v2.0 export
OS_TENANT_ID=ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff export
OS_TENANT_NAME="1234567890123456" export OS_USERNAME="123abc567xy" echo
"Please enter your OpenStack Password: " read -sr OS_PASSWORD_INPUT
export
OS_PASSWORD=$OS_PASSWORD_INPUT export OS_REGION_NAME="SBG1" if [ -z "$OS_REGION_NAME"
]; then unset OS_REGION_NAME; fi


    The config file needs to look something like this where `$OS_USERNAME`
    represents the value of the `OS_USERNAME` variable - `123abc567xy` in
    the example above.

[remote] type = swift user = $OS_USERNAME key = $OS_PASSWORD auth =
$OS_AUTH_URL tenant = $OS_TENANT_NAME


    Note that you may (or may not) need to set `region` too - try without first.

    ### Configuration from the environment

    If you prefer you can configure rclone to use swift using a standard
    set of OpenStack environment variables.

    When you run through the config, make sure you choose `true` for
    `env_auth` and leave everything else blank.

    rclone will then set any empty config parameters from the environment
    using standard OpenStack environment variables.  There is [a list of
    the
    variables](https://godoc.org/github.com/ncw/swift#Connection.ApplyEnvironment)
    in the docs for the swift library.

    ### Using an alternate authentication method

    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 `openstack` 
    commands to get a token). Then, you just need to pass the two 
    configuration variables ``auth_token`` and ``storage_url``. 
    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.

    #### Using rclone without a config file

    You can use rclone with swift without a config file, if desired, like
    this:

source openstack-credentials-file export
RCLONE_CONFIG_MYREMOTE_TYPE=swift export
RCLONE_CONFIG_MYREMOTE_ENV_AUTH=true rclone lsd myremote:


    ### --fast-list

    This remote supports `--fast-list` which allows you to use fewer
    transactions in exchange for more memory. See the [rclone
    docs](https://rclone.org/docs/#fast-list) for more details.

    ### --update and --use-server-modtime

    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.

    For many operations, the time the object was last uploaded to the remote is
    sufficient to determine if it is "dirty". By using `--update` along with
    `--use-server-modtime`, you can avoid the extra API call and simply upload
    files whose local modtime is newer than the time it was last uploaded.

    ### 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 de facto standard (used in the official python-swiftclient
    amongst others) for storing the modification time for an object.

    ### Restricted filename characters

    | Character | Value | Replacement |
    | --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
    | NUL       | 0x00  | ␀           |
    | /         | 0x2F  | ／          |

    Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be [replaced](https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8),
    as they can't be used in JSON strings.

        - "internal"
            - Internal (use internal service net)
        - "admin"
            - Admin

    #### --swift-storage-policy

    The storage policy to use when creating a new container.

    This applies the specified storage policy when creating a new
    container. The policy cannot be changed afterwards. The allowed
    configuration values and their meaning depend on your Swift storage
    provider.

    Properties:

    - Config:      storage_policy
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_SWIFT_STORAGE_POLICY
    - Type:        string

            - OVH Public Cloud Storage
        - "pca"
            - OVH Public Cloud Archive

    ### Advanced options

    Here are the Advanced options specific to swift (OpenStack Swift (Rackspace Cloud Files, Blomp Cloud Storage, Memset Memstore, OVH)).

    #### --swift-leave-parts-on-error

    If true avoid calling abort upload on a failure.

    It should be set to true for resuming uploads across different sessions.

    Properties:

    - Config:      leave_parts_on_error
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_SWIFT_LEAVE_PARTS_ON_ERROR
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --swift-chunk-size

    Above this size files will be chunked into a _segments container.

    Above this size files will be chunked into a _segments container.  The
    default for this is 5 GiB which is its maximum value.

    Properties:

    - Config:      chunk_size
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_SWIFT_CHUNK_SIZE
    - Type:        SizeSuffix
    - Default:     5Gi

    #### --swift-no-chunk

    Don't chunk files during streaming upload.

    When doing streaming uploads (e.g. using rcat or mount) setting this
    flag will cause the swift backend to not upload chunked files.

    This will limit the maximum upload size to 5 GiB. However non chunked
    files are easier to deal with and have an MD5SUM.

    Rclone will still chunk files bigger than chunk_size when doing normal
    copy operations.

    Properties:

    - Config:      no_chunk
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_SWIFT_NO_CHUNK
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --swift-no-large-objects

    Disable support for static and dynamic large objects

    Swift cannot transparently store files bigger than 5 GiB. There are
    two schemes for doing that, static or dynamic large objects, 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.

    When `no_large_objects` 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 `--checksum` set.

    Setting this option implies `no_chunk` and also that no files will be
    uploaded in chunks, so files bigger than 5 GiB will just fail on
    upload.

    If you set this option and there *are* 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.


    Properties:

    - Config:      no_large_objects
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_SWIFT_NO_LARGE_OBJECTS
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --swift-encoding

    The encoding for the backend.

    See the [encoding section in the overview](https://rclone.org/overview/#encoding) for more info.

    Properties:

    - Config:      encoding
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_SWIFT_ENCODING
    - Type:        MultiEncoder
    - Default:     Slash,InvalidUtf8



    ## 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.

    This may also be caused by specifying the region when you shouldn't
    have (e.g. OVH).

    ### Rclone gives Failed to create file system: Response didn't have storage url and auth token

    This is most likely caused by forgetting to specify your tenant when
    setting up a swift remote.

    ## OVH Cloud Archive

    To use rclone with OVH cloud archive, first use `rclone config` to set up a `swift` backend with OVH, choosing `pca` as the `storage_policy`.

    ### Uploading Objects

    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.

    ### Retrieving Objects

    To retrieve objects use `rclone copy` 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:

    `2019/03/23 13:06:33 NOTICE: Received retry after error - sleeping until 2019-03-23T13:16:33.481657164+01:00 (9m59.99985121s)`

    Rclone will wait for the time specified then retry the copy.

    #  pCloud

    Paths are specified as `remote:path`

    Paths may be as deep as required, e.g. `remote:directory/subdirectory`.

    ## Configuration

    The initial setup for pCloud involves getting a token from pCloud 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:

No remotes found, make a new one? n) New remote s) Set configuration
password q) Quit config n/s/q> n name> remote Type of storage to
configure. Choose a number from below, or type in your own value [snip]
XX / Pcloud  "pcloud" [snip] Storage> pcloud Pcloud App Client Id -
leave blank normally. client_id> Pcloud App Client Secret - leave blank
normally. client_secret> Remote config Use web browser to automatically
authenticate rclone with remote? * Say Y if the machine running rclone
has a web browser you can use * Say N if running rclone on a (remote)
machine without web browser access If not sure try Y. If Y failed, try
N. 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 Waiting for code... Got code --------------------
[remote] client_id = client_secret = token =
{"access_token":"XXX","token_type":"bearer","expiry":"0001-01-01T00:00:00Z"}
-------------------- y) Yes this is OK e) Edit this remote d) Delete
this remote y/e/d> y


    See the [remote setup docs](https://rclone.org/remote_setup/) 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 pCloud. 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 pCloud

        rclone lsd remote:

    List all the files in your pCloud

        rclone ls remote:

    To copy a local directory to a pCloud directory called backup

        rclone copy /home/source remote:backup

    ### Modified time and hashes ###

    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.

    pCloud supports MD5 and SHA1 hashes in the US region, and SHA1 and SHA256
    hashes in the EU region, so you can use the `--checksum` flag.

    ### Restricted filename characters

    In addition to the [default restricted characters set](https://rclone.org/overview/#restricted-characters)
    the following characters are also replaced:

    | Character | Value | Replacement |
    | --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
    | \         | 0x5C  | ＼          |

    Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be [replaced](https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8),
    as they can't be used in JSON strings.

    ### Deleting files

    Deleted files will be moved to the trash.  Your subscription level
    will determine how long items stay in the trash.  `rclone cleanup` can
    be used to empty the trash.

    ### Emptying the trash

    Due to an API limitation, the `rclone cleanup` 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 `rclone cleanup` command to work.

    ### Root folder ID

    You can set the `root_folder_id` for rclone.  This is the directory
    (identified by its `Folder ID`) that rclone considers to be the root
    of your pCloud drive.

    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.

    In order to do this you will have to find the `Folder ID` of the
    directory you wish rclone to display.  This will be the `folder` field
    of the URL when you open the relevant folder in the pCloud web
    interface.

    So if the folder you want rclone to use has a URL which looks like
    `https://my.pcloud.com/#page=filemanager&folder=5xxxxxxxx8&tpl=foldergrid`
    in the browser, then you use `5xxxxxxxx8` as
    the `root_folder_id` in the config.

    This is only required when you want to use the cleanup command. Due to a bug
    in the pcloud API the required API does not support OAuth authentication so
    we have to rely on user password authentication for it.

    ## Backend commands

    Here are the commands specific to the pikpak backend.

    Run them with

        rclone backend COMMAND remote:

    The help below will explain what arguments each command takes.

    See the [backend](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_backend/) command for more
    info on how to pass options and arguments.

    These can be run on a running backend using the rc command
    [backend/command](https://rclone.org/rc/#backend-command).

    ### addurl

    Add offline download task for url

        rclone backend addurl remote: [options] [<arguments>+]

    This command adds offline download task for url.

    Usage:

        rclone backend addurl pikpak:dirpath url

    Downloads will be stored in 'dirpath'. If 'dirpath' is invalid, 
    download will fallback to default 'My Pack' folder.


    ### decompress

    Request decompress of a file/files in a folder

        rclone backend decompress remote: [options] [<arguments>+]

    This command requests decompress of file/files in a folder.

    Usage:

        rclone backend decompress pikpak:dirpath {filename} -o password=password
        rclone backend decompress pikpak:dirpath {filename} -o delete-src-file

    An optional argument 'filename' can be specified for a file located in 
    'pikpak:dirpath'. You may want to pass '-o password=password' for a 
    password-protected files. Also, pass '-o delete-src-file' to delete 
    source files after decompression finished.

    Result:

        {
            "Decompressed": 17,
            "SourceDeleted": 0,
            "Errors": 0
        }




    ## Limitations ##

    ### Hashes ###

    PikPak supports MD5 hash, but sometimes given empty especially for user-uploaded files.

    ### Deleted files ###

    Deleted files will still be visible with `--pikpak-trashed-only` even after the trash emptied. This goes away after few days.

    #  premiumize.me

    Paths are specified as `remote:path`

    Paths may be as deep as required, e.g. `remote:directory/subdirectory`.

    ## Configuration

    The initial setup for [premiumize.me](https://premiumize.me/) involves getting a token from premiumize.me 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:

No remotes found, make a new one? n) New remote s) Set configuration
password q) Quit config n/s/q> n name> remote Type of storage to
configure. Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default ("").
Choose a number from below, or type in your own value [snip] XX /
premiumize.me  "premiumizeme" [snip] Storage> premiumizeme ** See help
for premiumizeme backend at: https://rclone.org/premiumizeme/ **

Remote config Use web browser to automatically authenticate rclone with
remote? * Say Y if the machine running rclone has a web browser you can
use * Say N if running rclone on a (remote) machine without web browser
access If not sure try Y. If Y failed, try N. 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
Waiting for code... Got code -------------------- [remote] type =
premiumizeme token =
{"access_token":"XXX","token_type":"Bearer","refresh_token":"XXX","expiry":"2029-08-07T18:44:15.548915378+01:00"}
-------------------- y) Yes this is OK e) Edit this remote d) Delete
this remote y/e/d>


    See the [remote setup docs](https://rclone.org/remote_setup/) 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 premiumize.me. 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 premiumize.me

        rclone lsd remote:

    List all the files in your premiumize.me

        rclone ls remote:

    To copy a local directory to an premiumize.me directory called backup

        rclone copy /home/source remote:backup

    ### Modified time and hashes

    premiumize.me does not support modification times or hashes, therefore
    syncing will default to `--size-only` checking.  Note that using
    `--update` will work.

    ### Restricted filename characters

    In addition to the [default restricted characters set](https://rclone.org/overview/#restricted-characters)
    the following characters are also replaced:

    | Character | Value | Replacement |
    | --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
    | \         | 0x5C  | ＼           |
    | "         | 0x22  | ＂           |

    Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be [replaced](https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8),
    as they can't be used in JSON strings.


    ### Standard options

    Here are the Standard options specific to premiumizeme (premiumize.me).

    #### --premiumizeme-client-id

    OAuth Client Id.

    Leave blank normally.

    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --premiumizeme-api-key

    API Key.

    This is not normally used - use oauth instead.


    Properties:

    - Config:      api_key
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_PREMIUMIZEME_API_KEY
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    ### Advanced options

    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --premiumizeme-encoding

    The encoding for the backend.

    See the [encoding section in the overview](https://rclone.org/overview/#encoding) for more info.

    Properties:

    - Config:      encoding
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_PREMIUMIZEME_ENCODING
    - Type:        MultiEncoder
    - Default:     Slash,DoubleQuote,BackSlash,Del,Ctl,InvalidUtf8,Dot



    ## Limitations

    Note that premiumize.me is case insensitive so you can't have a file called
    "Hello.doc" and one called "hello.doc".

    premiumize.me file names can't have the `\` or `"` characters in.
    rclone maps these to and from an identical looking unicode equivalents
    `＼` and `＂`

    premiumize.me only supports filenames up to 255 characters in length.

    #  Proton Drive

    [Proton Drive](https://proton.me/drive) is an end-to-end encrypted Swiss vault
     for your files that protects your data.

    This is an rclone backend for Proton Drive which supports the file transfer
    features of Proton Drive using the same client-side encryption.

    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.

    **NB** 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 [post on the rclone forum](https://forum.rclone.org/) if
    you find an incompatibility.

    Paths are specified as `remote:path`

    Paths may be as deep as required, e.g. `remote:directory/subdirectory`.

    ## Configurations

    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:

No remotes found, make a new one? n) New remote s) Set configuration
password q) Quit config n/s/q> n name> remote Type of storage to
configure. Choose a number from below, or type in your own value [snip]
XX / Proton Drive  "Proton Drive" [snip] Storage> protondrive User name
user> you@protonmail.com Password. y) Yes type in my own password g)
Generate random password n) No leave this optional password blank y/g/n>
y Enter the password: password: Confirm the password: password: Option
2fa. 2FA code (if the account requires one) Enter a value. Press Enter
to leave empty. 2fa> 123456 Remote config -------------------- [remote]
type = protondrive user = you@protonmail.com pass = *** ENCRYPTED ***
-------------------- y) Yes this is OK e) Edit this remote d) Delete
this remote y/e/d> y


    **NOTE:** 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 `rclone` will fail.

    Once configured you can then use `rclone` like this,

    List directories in top level of your Proton Drive

        rclone lsd remote:

    List all the files in your Proton Drive

        rclone ls remote:

    To copy a local directory to an Proton Drive directory called backup

        rclone copy /home/source remote:backup

    ### Modified time

    Proton Drive Bridge does not support updating modification times yet.

    ### Restricted filename characters

    Invalid UTF-8 bytes will be [replaced](https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8), also left and 
    right spaces will be removed ([code reference](https://github.com/ProtonMail/WebClients/blob/b4eba99d241af4fdae06ff7138bd651a40ef5d3c/applications/drive/src/app/store/_links/validation.ts#L51))

    ### Duplicated files

    Proton Drive can not have two files with exactly the same name and path. If the 
    conflict occurs, depending on the advanced config, the file might or might not 
    be overwritten.

    ### [Mailbox password](https://proton.me/support/the-difference-between-the-mailbox-password-and-login-password)

    Please set your mailbox password in the advanced config section.

    ### Caching

    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.


    ### Standard options

    Here are the Standard options specific to protondrive (Proton Drive).

    #### --protondrive-username

    #### --protondrive-original-file-size

    Return the file size before encryption
                
    The size of the encrypted file will be different from (bigger than) the 
    original file size. Unless there is a reason to return the file size 
    after encryption is performed, otherwise, set this option to true, as 
    features like Open() which will need to be supplied with original content 
    size, will fail to operate properly

    Properties:

    - Config:      original_file_size
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_PROTONDRIVE_ORIGINAL_FILE_SIZE
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     true

    #### --protondrive-app-version

    The app version string 

    The app version string indicates the client that is currently performing 
    the API request. This information is required and will be sent with every 
    API request.

    Properties:

    - Config:      app_version
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_PROTONDRIVE_APP_VERSION

    #### --protondrive-replace-existing-draft

    Create a new revision when filename conflict is detected

    When a file upload is cancelled or failed before completion, a draft will be 
    created and the subsequent upload of the same file to the same location will be 
    reported as a conflict.

    The value can also be set by --protondrive-replace-existing-draft=true

    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.

    Properties:

    - Config:      replace_existing_draft
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_PROTONDRIVE_REPLACE_EXISTING_DRAFT
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --protondrive-enable-caching

    Caches the files and folders metadata to reduce API calls

    Notice: If you are mounting ProtonDrive as a VFS, please disable this feature, 
    as the current implementation doesn't update or clear the cache when there are 
    external changes. 

    The files and folders on ProtonDrive are represented as links with keyrings, 
    which can be cached to improve performance and be friendly to the API server.

    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.

    Properties:

    - Config:      enable_caching
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_PROTONDRIVE_ENABLE_CACHING
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     true



    ## Limitations

    This backend uses the 
    [Proton-API-Bridge](https://github.com/henrybear327/Proton-API-Bridge), which 
    is based on [go-proton-api](https://github.com/henrybear327/go-proton-api), a 
    fork of the [official repo](https://github.com/ProtonMail/go-proton-api).

    There is no official API documentation available from Proton Drive. But, thanks 
    to Proton open sourcing [proton-go-api](https://github.com/ProtonMail/go-proton-api) 
    and the web, iOS, and Android client codebases, we don't need to completely 
    reverse engineer the APIs by observing the web client traffic! 

    [proton-go-api](https://github.com/ProtonMail/go-proton-api) 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. 

    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.

    #  put.io

    Paths are specified as `remote:path`

    put.io paths may be as deep as required, e.g.
    `remote:directory/subdirectory`.

    ## Configuration

    The initial setup for put.io involves getting a token from put.io
    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:

No remotes found, make a new one? n) New remote s) Set configuration
password q) Quit config n/s/q> n name> putio Type of storage to
configure. Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default ("").
Choose a number from below, or type in your own value [snip] XX / Put.io
 "putio" [snip] Storage> putio ** See help for putio backend at:
https://rclone.org/putio/ **

Remote config Use web browser to automatically authenticate rclone with
remote? * Say Y if the machine running rclone has a web browser you can
use * Say N if running rclone on a (remote) machine without web browser
access If not sure try Y. If Y failed, try N. 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
Waiting for code... Got code -------------------- [putio] type = putio
token = {"access_token":"XXXXXXXX","expiry":"0001-01-01T00:00:00Z"}
-------------------- y) Yes this is OK e) Edit this remote d) Delete
this remote y/e/d> y Current remotes:

Name Type ==== ==== putio putio

e)  Edit existing remote
f)  New remote
g)  Delete remote
h)  Rename remote
i)  Copy remote
j)  Set configuration password
k)  Quit config e/n/d/r/c/s/q> q


    See the [remote setup docs](https://rclone.org/remote_setup/) 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 put.io  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 `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 put.io

        rclone lsd remote:

    List all the files in your put.io

        rclone ls remote:

    To copy a local directory to a put.io directory called backup

        rclone copy /home/source remote:backup

    ### Restricted filename characters

    In addition to the [default restricted characters set](https://rclone.org/overview/#restricted-characters)
    the following characters are also replaced:

    | Character | Value | Replacement |
    | --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
    | \         | 0x5C  | ＼           |

    Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be [replaced](https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8),
    as they can't be used in JSON strings.


    ### Standard options

    Here are the Standard options specific to putio (Put.io).

    #### --putio-client-id

    OAuth Client Id.

    Leave blank normally.

    Properties:

    - Config:      client_id
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_PUTIO_CLIENT_ID
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --putio-client-secret

    OAuth Client Secret.

    Leave blank normally.

    Properties:

    - Config:      client_secret
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_PUTIO_CLIENT_SECRET
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    ### Advanced options

    Here are the Advanced options specific to putio (Put.io).

    #### --putio-token

    OAuth Access Token as a JSON blob.

    Properties:

    - Config:      token
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_PUTIO_TOKEN
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --putio-auth-url

    Auth server URL.

    Leave blank to use the provider defaults.

    Properties:

    - Config:      auth_url
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_PUTIO_AUTH_URL
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --putio-token-url

    Token server url.

    Leave blank to use the provider defaults.

    Properties:

    - Config:      token_url
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_PUTIO_TOKEN_URL
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --putio-encoding

    The encoding for the backend.

    See the [encoding section in the overview](https://rclone.org/overview/#encoding) for more info.

    Properties:

    - Config:      encoding
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_PUTIO_ENCODING
    - Type:        MultiEncoder
    - Default:     Slash,BackSlash,Del,Ctl,InvalidUtf8,Dot



    ## Limitations

    put.io has rate limiting. When you hit a limit, rclone automatically
    retries after waiting the amount of time requested by the server.

    If you want to avoid ever hitting these limits, you may use the
    `--tpslimit` flag with a low number. Note that the imposed limits
    may be different for different operations, and may change over time.

    #  Proton Drive

    [Proton Drive](https://proton.me/drive) is an end-to-end encrypted Swiss vault
     for your files that protects your data.

    This is an rclone backend for Proton Drive which supports the file transfer
    features of Proton Drive using the same client-side encryption.

    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.

    **NB** 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 [post on the rclone forum](https://forum.rclone.org/) if
    you find an incompatibility.

    Paths are specified as `remote:path`

    Paths may be as deep as required, e.g. `remote:directory/subdirectory`.

    ## Configurations

    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:

No remotes found, make a new one? n) New remote s) Set configuration
password q) Quit config n/s/q> n name> remote Type of storage to
configure. Choose a number from below, or type in your own value [snip]
XX / Proton Drive  "Proton Drive" [snip] Storage> protondrive User name
user> you@protonmail.com Password. y) Yes type in my own password g)
Generate random password n) No leave this optional password blank y/g/n>
y Enter the password: password: Confirm the password: password: Option
2fa. 2FA code (if the account requires one) Enter a value. Press Enter
to leave empty. 2fa> 123456 Remote config -------------------- [remote]
type = protondrive user = you@protonmail.com pass = *** ENCRYPTED ***
-------------------- y) Yes this is OK e) Edit this remote d) Delete
this remote y/e/d> y


    **NOTE:** 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 `rclone` will fail.

    Once configured you can then use `rclone` like this,

    List directories in top level of your Proton Drive

        rclone lsd remote:

    List all the files in your Proton Drive

        rclone ls remote:

    To copy a local directory to an Proton Drive directory called backup

        rclone copy /home/source remote:backup

    ### Modified time

    Proton Drive Bridge does not support updating modification times yet.

    ### Restricted filename characters

    Invalid UTF-8 bytes will be [replaced](https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8), also left and 
    right spaces will be removed ([code reference](https://github.com/ProtonMail/WebClients/blob/b4eba99d241af4fdae06ff7138bd651a40ef5d3c/applications/drive/src/app/store/_links/validation.ts#L51))

    ### Duplicated files

    Proton Drive can not have two files with exactly the same name and path. If the 
    conflict occurs, depending on the advanced config, the file might or might not 
    be overwritten.

    ### [Mailbox password](https://proton.me/support/the-difference-between-the-mailbox-password-and-login-password)

    Please set your mailbox password in the advanced config section.

    ### Caching

    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.


    ### Standard options

    Here are the Standard options specific to protondrive (Proton Drive).

    #### --protondrive-username

    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    #### --protondrive-client-refresh-token

    Client refresh token key (internal use only)

    Properties:

    - Config:      client_refresh_token
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_PROTONDRIVE_CLIENT_REFRESH_TOKEN
    - Type:        string
    - Required:    false

    - Default:     Slash,LeftSpace,RightSpace,InvalidUtf8,Dot

    #### --protondrive-original-file-size

    Return the file size before encryption
                
    The size of the encrypted file will be different from (bigger than) the 
    original file size. Unless there is a reason to return the file size 
    after encryption is performed, otherwise, set this option to true, as 
    features like Open() which will need to be supplied with original content 
    size, will fail to operate properly

    Properties:

    - Config:      original_file_size
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_PROTONDRIVE_ORIGINAL_FILE_SIZE
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     true

    #### --protondrive-app-version

    The app version string 

    The app version string indicates the client that is currently performing 
    the API request. This information is required and will be sent with every 
    API request.

    Properties:

    - Config:      app_version
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_PROTONDRIVE_APP_VERSION
    - Type:        string
    - Default:     "macos-drive@1.0.0-alpha.1+rclone"

    #### --protondrive-replace-existing-draft

    Create a new revision when filename conflict is detected

    When a file upload is cancelled or failed before completion, a draft will be 
    created and the subsequent upload of the same file to the same location will be 
    reported as a conflict.

    The value can also be set by --protondrive-replace-existing-draft=true

    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.

    Properties:

    - Config:      replace_existing_draft
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_PROTONDRIVE_REPLACE_EXISTING_DRAFT
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     false

    #### --protondrive-enable-caching

    Caches the files and folders metadata to reduce API calls

    Notice: If you are mounting ProtonDrive as a VFS, please disable this feature, 
    as the current implementation doesn't update or clear the cache when there are 
    external changes. 

    The files and folders on ProtonDrive are represented as links with keyrings, 
    which can be cached to improve performance and be friendly to the API server.

    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.

    Properties:

    - Config:      enable_caching
    - Env Var:     RCLONE_PROTONDRIVE_ENABLE_CACHING
    - Type:        bool
    - Default:     true

    #  Seafile

    This is a backend for the [Seafile](https://www.seafile.com/) 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 **not** supported

    ## Configuration

    There are two distinct modes you can setup your remote:
    - you point your remote to the **root of the server**, meaning you don't specify a library during the configuration:
    Paths are specified as `remote:library`. You may put subdirectories in too, e.g. `remote:library/path/to/dir`.
    - you point your remote to a specific library during the configuration:
    Paths are specified as `remote:path/to/dir`. **This is the recommended mode when using encrypted libraries**. (_This mode is possibly slightly faster than the root mode_)

    ### Configuration in root mode

    Here is an example of making a seafile configuration for a user with **no** two-factor authentication.  First run

        rclone config

    This will guide you through an interactive setup process. To authenticate
    you will need the URL of your server, your email (or username) and your password.

No remotes found, make a new one? n) New remote s) Set configuration
password q) Quit config n/s/q> n name> seafile Type of storage to
configure. Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default ("").
Choose a number from below, or type in your own value [snip] XX /
Seafile  "seafile" [snip] Storage> seafile ** See help for seafile

value (true or false). Press Enter for the default ("false"). 2fa> false
Name of the library. Leave blank to access all non-encrypted libraries.
Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default (""). library> Library
password (for encrypted libraries only). Leave blank if you pass it
through the command line. y) Yes type in my own password g) Generate
random password n) No leave this optional password blank (default)
y/g/n> n Edit advanced config? (y/n) y) Yes n) No (default) y/n> n
Remote config Two-factor authentication is not enabled on this account.
-------------------- [seafile] type = seafile url =
http://my.seafile.server/ user = me@example.com pass = *** ENCRYPTED ***
2fa = false -------------------- y) Yes this is OK (default) e) Edit
this remote d) Delete this remote y/e/d> y


    This remote is called `seafile`. It's pointing to the root of your seafile server and can now be used like this:

    See all libraries

        rclone lsd seafile:

    Create a new library

        rclone mkdir seafile:library

    List the contents of a library

        rclone ls seafile:library

    Sync `/home/local/directory` to the remote library, deleting any
    excess files in the library.

        rclone sync --interactive /home/local/directory seafile:library

    ### Configuration in library mode

    Here's an example of a configuration in library mode with a user that has the two-factor authentication enabled. Your 2FA code will be asked at the end of the configuration, and will attempt to authenticate you:

No remotes found, make a new one? n) New remote s) Set configuration
password q) Quit config n/s/q> n name> seafile Type of storage to
configure. Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default ("").
Choose a number from below, or type in your own value [snip] XX /
Seafile  "seafile" [snip] Storage> seafile ** See help for seafile

URL of seafile host to connect to Enter a string value. Press Enter for
the default (""). Choose a number from below, or type in your own value
1 / Connect to cloud.seafile.com  "https://cloud.seafile.com/" url>
http://my.seafile.server/ User name (usually email address) Enter a
string value. Press Enter for the default (""). user> me@example.com
Password y) Yes type in my own password g) Generate random password n)
No leave this optional password blank (default) y/g> y Enter the
password: password: Confirm the password: password: Two-factor

value (true or false). Press Enter for the default ("false"). 2fa> true
Name of the library. Leave blank to access all non-encrypted libraries.
Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default (""). library> My
Library Library password (for encrypted libraries only). Leave blank if
you pass it through the command line. y) Yes type in my own password g)
Generate random password n) No leave this optional password blank
(default) y/g/n> n Edit advanced config? (y/n) y) Yes n) No (default)
y/n> n Remote config Two-factor authentication: please enter your 2FA
code 2fa code> 123456 Authenticating... Success! --------------------
[seafile] type = seafile url = http://my.seafile.server/ user =
me@example.com pass = 2fa = true library = My Library
-------------------- y) Yes this is OK (default) e) Edit this remote d)
Delete this remote y/e/d> y


    You'll notice your password is blank in the configuration. It's because we only need the password to authenticate you once.

    You specified `My Library` during the configuration. The root of the remote is pointing at the
    root of the library `My Library`:

    See all files in the library:

        rclone lsd seafile:

    Create a new directory inside the library

        rclone mkdir seafile:directory

    List the contents of a directory

        rclone ls seafile:directory

    Sync `/home/local/directory` to the remote library, deleting any
    excess files in the library.

        rclone sync --interactive /home/local/directory seafile:


    ### --fast-list

    Seafile version 7+ supports `--fast-list` which allows you to use fewer
    transactions in exchange for more memory. See the [rclone
    docs](https://rclone.org/docs/#fast-list) for more details.
    Please note this is not supported on seafile server version 6.x


    ### Restricted filename characters

    In addition to the [default restricted characters set](https://rclone.org/overview/#restricted-characters)
    the following characters are also replaced:

    | Character | Value | Replacement |
    | --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|

    ### Seafile and rclone link

    Rclone supports generating share links for non-encrypted libraries only.
    They can either be for a file or a directory:

rclone link seafile:seafile-tutorial.doc
http://my.seafile.server/f/fdcd8a2f93f84b8b90f4/


    or if run on a directory you will get:

rclone link seafile:dir http://my.seafile.server/d/9ea2455f6f55478bbb0d/


    Please note a share link is unique for each file or directory. If you run a link command on a file/dir
    that has already been shared, you will get the exact same link.

    ### Compatibility

    It has been actively developed using the [seafile docker image](https://github.com/haiwen/seafile-docker) of these versions:
    - 6.3.4 community edition
    - 7.0.5 community edition
    - 7.1.3 community edition
    - 9.0.10 community edition

    Versions below 6.0 are not supported.
    Versions between 6.0 and 6.3 haven't been tested and might not work properly.

    Each new version of `rclone` is automatically tested against the [latest docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/seafileltd/seafile-mc/) of the seafile community server.

    #  SFTP

    SFTP is the [Secure (or SSH) File Transfer
    Protocol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_File_Transfer_Protocol).

    The SFTP backend can be used with a number of different providers:


    - Hetzner Storage Box
    - rsync.net


    SFTP runs over SSH v2 and is installed as standard with most modern
    SSH installations.

    Paths are specified as `remote:path`. If the path does not begin with
    a `/` it is relative to the home directory of the user.  An empty path
    `remote:` refers to the user's home directory. For example, `rclone lsd remote:` 
    would list the home directory of the user configured in the rclone remote config 
    (`i.e /home/sftpuser`). However, `rclone lsd remote:/` would list the root 
    directory for remote machine (i.e. `/`)

    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 /.

    Note that by default rclone will try to execute shell commands on
    the server, see [shell access considerations](#shell-access-considerations).

    ## Configuration

    Here is an example of making an SFTP configuration.  First run

        rclone config

    This will guide you through an interactive setup process.

No remotes found, make a new one? n) New remote s) Set configuration
password q) Quit config n/s/q> n name> remote Type of storage to
configure. Choose a number from below, or type in your own value [snip]
XX / SSH/SFTP  "sftp" [snip] Storage> sftp SSH host to connect to Choose
a number from below, or type in your own value 1 / Connect to
example.com  "example.com" host> example.com SSH username Enter a string
value. Press Enter for the default ("$USER"). user> sftpuser SSH port
number Enter a signed integer. Press Enter for the default (22). port>
SSH password, leave blank to use ssh-agent. y) Yes type in my own
password g) Generate random password n) No leave this optional password
blank y/g/n> n Path to unencrypted PEM-encoded private key file, leave
blank to use ssh-agent. key_file> Remote config --------------------
[remote] host = example.com user = sftpuser port = pass = key_file =
-------------------- 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 directories in the home directory

        rclone lsd remote:

    See all directories in the root directory

        rclone lsd remote:/

    Make a new directory

        rclone mkdir remote:path/to/directory

    List the contents of a directory

        rclone ls remote:path/to/directory

    Sync `/home/local/directory` to the remote directory, deleting any
    excess files in the directory.

        rclone sync --interactive /home/local/directory remote:directory

    Mount the remote path `/srv/www-data/` to the local path
    `/mnt/www-data`

        rclone mount remote:/srv/www-data/ /mnt/www-data

    ### SSH Authentication

    The SFTP remote supports three authentication methods:

      * Password
      * Key file, including certificate signed keys
      * ssh-agent

    Key files should be PEM-encoded private key files. For instance `/home/$USER/.ssh/id_rsa`.
    Only unencrypted OpenSSH or PEM encrypted files are supported.

    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 ('\n' or '\r\n') separating lines.  i.e.

        key_pem = -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\nMaMbaIXtE\n0gAMbMbaSsd\nMbaass\n-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

    This will generate it correctly for key_pem for use in the config:

        awk '{printf "%s\\n", $0}' < ~/.ssh/id_rsa

    If you don't specify `pass`, `key_file`, or `key_pem` or `ask_password` then
    rclone will attempt to contact an ssh-agent. You can also specify `key_use_agent`
    to force the usage of an ssh-agent. In this case `key_file` or `key_pem` can
    also be specified to force the usage of a specific key in the ssh-agent.

    Using an ssh-agent is the only way to load encrypted OpenSSH keys at the moment.

    If you set the `ask_password` option, rclone will prompt for a password when
    needed and no password has been configured.

    #### Certificate-signed keys

    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.

    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 `pubkey_file`.

    Note: This is not the traditional public key paired with your private key,
    typically saved as `/home/$USER/.ssh/id_rsa.pub`. Setting this path in
    `pubkey_file` will not work.

    Example:

[remote] type = sftp host = example.com user = sftpuser key_file =
~/id_rsa pubkey_file = ~/id_rsa-cert.pub


    If you concatenate a cert with a private key then you can specify the
    merged file in both places.

    Note: the cert must come first in the file.  e.g.

    ```
    cat id_rsa-cert.pub id_rsa > merged_key
    ```

    ### Host key validation

    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.

    Host key matching, using standard `known_hosts` files can be turned on by
    enabling the `known_hosts_file` option.  This can point to the file maintained
    by `OpenSSH` or can point to a unique file.

    e.g. using the OpenSSH `known_hosts` file:

    ```
    [remote]
    type = sftp
    host = example.com
    user = sftpuser
    pass = 
    known_hosts_file = ~/.ssh/known_hosts

Alternatively you can create your own known hosts file like this:

    ssh-keyscan -t dsa,rsa,ecdsa,ed25519 example.com >> known_hosts

There are some limitations:

-   rclone will not manage this file for you. If the key is missing or
    wrong then the connection will be refused.
-   If the server is set up for a certificate host key then the entry in
    the known_hosts file must be the @cert-authority entry for the CA

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

    NewFs: couldn't connect SSH: ssh: handshake failed: knownhosts: key mismatch

or

    NewFs: couldn't connect SSH: ssh: handshake failed: knownhosts: key is unknown

If you see an error such as

    NewFs: couldn't connect SSH: ssh: handshake failed: ssh: no authorities for hostname: example.com:22

then it is likely the server has presented a CA signed host certificate
and you will need to add the appropriate @cert-authority entry.

The known_hosts_file setting can be set during rclone config as an
advanced option.

ssh-agent on macOS

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.

    eval `ssh-agent -s` && ssh-add -A

And then at the end of the session

    eval `ssh-agent -k`

These commands can be used in scripts of course.

Shell access

Some functionality of the SFTP backend relies on remote shell access,
and the possibility to execute commands. This includes checksum, and in
some cases also about. 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.

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 installation guide). 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.

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 shell_type, 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 none
can be set to avoid any attempts at executing shell commands, e.g. if
this is not allowed on the server.

When the server is rclone serve sftp, 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. md5sum and df. 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.

Shell access considerations

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 on the fly 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 shell_type option to the correct value, or
to none if you want to prevent rclone from executing any remote shell
commands.

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.

Checksum

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.

Normally this requires an external utility being available on the
server. By default rclone will try commands md5sum, md5 and
rclone md5sum for MD5 checksums, and the first one found usable will be
picked. Same with sha1sum, sha1 and rclone sha1sum commands for SHA-1
checksums. These utilities normally need to be in the remote's PATH to
be found.

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 shell
access). This assumes PowerShell version 4.0 or newer.

The options md5sum_command and sha1_command 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 md5sum
and sha1sum 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 /path/to/rclone md5sum as the value of option
md5sum_command to make sure a specific executable is used.

Remote checksumming is recommended and enabled by default. First time
rclone is using a SFTP remote, if options md5sum_command or sha1_command
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 none 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.

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
disable_hashcheck to true to disable checksumming entirely, or set
shell_type to none to disable all functionality based on remote shell
command execution.

Modified time

Modified times are stored on the server to 1 second precision.

Modified times are used in syncing and are fully supported.

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
set_modtime = false in your RClone backend configuration to disable this
behaviour.

About command

The about 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.

SFTP usually supports the about 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 df 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 shell
access). If none of the above is applicable, about will fail.

Standard options

Here are the Standard options specific to sftp (SSH/SFTP).

--sftp-host

-   Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_KEY_FILE
-   Type: string
-   Required: false

--sftp-key-file-pass

The passphrase to decrypt the PEM-encoded private key file.

Only PEM encrypted key files (old OpenSSH format) are supported.
Encrypted keys in the new OpenSSH format can't be used.

NB Input to this must be obscured - see rclone obscure.

Properties:

-   Config: key_file_pass
-   Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_KEY_FILE_PASS
-   Type: string
-   Required: false

--sftp-pubkey-file

Optional path to public key file.

Set this if you have a signed certificate you want to use for
authentication.

Leading ~ will be expanded in the file name as will environment
variables such as ${RCLONE_CONFIG_DIR}.

Properties:

-   Config: pubkey_file
-   Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_PUBKEY_FILE
-   Type: string
-   Required: false

--sftp-key-use-agent

When set forces the usage of the ssh-agent.

When key-file is also set, the ".pub" file of the specified key-file is
read and only the associated key is requested from the ssh-agent. This
allows to avoid Too many authentication failures for *username* errors
when the ssh-agent contains many keys.

Properties:

-   Config: key_use_agent
-   Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_KEY_USE_AGENT
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false

--sftp-use-insecure-cipher

Enable the use of insecure ciphers and key exchange methods.

This enables the use of the following insecure ciphers and key exchange
methods:

-   aes128-cbc
-   aes192-cbc
-   aes256-cbc
-   3des-cbc
-   diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256
-   diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1

Those algorithms are insecure and may allow plaintext data to be
recovered by an attacker.

This must be false if you use either ciphers or key_exchange advanced
options.

Properties:

-   Config: use_insecure_cipher
-   Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_USE_INSECURE_CIPHER
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false
-   Examples:
    -   "false"
        -   Use default Cipher list.
    -   "true"
        -   Enables the use of the aes128-cbc cipher and
            diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256,
            diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1 key exchange.

--sftp-disable-hashcheck

Disable the execution of SSH commands to determine if remote file
hashing is available.

Leave blank or set to false to enable hashing (recommended), set to true
to disable hashing.

Properties:

-   Config: disable_hashcheck
-   Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_DISABLE_HASHCHECK
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false

--sftp-ssh

Path and arguments to external ssh binary.

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.

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.

Important The ssh command must log in without asking for a password so
needs to be configured with keys or certificates.

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.

Any arguments with spaces in should be surrounded by "double quotes".

An example setting might be:

    ssh -o ServerAliveInterval=20 user@example.com

Note that when using an external ssh binary rclone makes a new ssh
connection for every hash it calculates.

Properties:

-   Config: ssh
-   Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_SSH
-   Type: SpaceSepList
-   Default:

Advanced options

Here are the Advanced options specific to sftp (SSH/SFTP).

--sftp-known-hosts-file

Optional path to known_hosts file.

Set this value to enable server host key validation.

Leading ~ will be expanded in the file name as will environment
variables such as ${RCLONE_CONFIG_DIR}.

Properties:

-   Config: known_hosts_file
-   Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_KNOWN_HOSTS_FILE
-   Type: string
-   Required: false
-   Examples:
    -   "~/.ssh/known_hosts"
        -   Use OpenSSH's known_hosts file.

--sftp-ask-password

Allow asking for SFTP password when needed.

If this is set and no password is supplied then rclone will: - ask for a
password - not contact the ssh agent

Properties:

-   Config: ask_password
-   Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_ASK_PASSWORD
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false

--sftp-path-override

Override path used by SSH shell commands.

This allows checksum calculation when SFTP and SSH paths are different.
This issue affects among others Synology NAS boxes.

E.g. if shared folders can be found in directories representing volumes:

    rclone sync /home/local/directory remote:/directory --sftp-path-override /volume2/directory

E.g. if home directory can be found in a shared folder called "home":

    rclone sync /home/local/directory remote:/home/directory --sftp-path-override /volume1/homes/USER/directory

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.

E.g. the first example above could be rewritten as:

    rclone sync /home/local/directory remote:/directory --sftp-path-override @/volume2

Note that when using this method with Synology "home" folders, the full
"/homes/USER" path should be specified instead of "/home".

E.g. the second example above should be rewritten as:

    rclone sync /home/local/directory remote:/homes/USER/directory --sftp-path-override @/volume1

Properties:

-   Config: path_override
-   Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_PATH_OVERRIDE
-   Type: string
-   Required: false

--sftp-set-modtime

Set the modified time on the remote if set.

Properties:

-   Config: set_modtime
-   Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_SET_MODTIME
-   Type: bool
-   Default: true

--sftp-shell-type

The type of SSH shell on remote server, if any.

Leave blank for autodetect.

Properties:

-   Config: shell_type
-   Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_SHELL_TYPE
-   Type: string
-   Required: false

--sftp-md5sum-command

The command used to read md5 hashes.

Leave blank for autodetect.

Properties:

-   Config: md5sum_command
-   Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_MD5SUM_COMMAND
-   Type: string
-   Required: false

--sftp-sha1sum-command

The command used to read sha1 hashes.

Leave blank for autodetect.

Properties:

-   Config: sha1sum_command
-   Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_SHA1SUM_COMMAND
-   Type: string
-   Required: false

--sftp-skip-links

Set to skip any symlinks and any other non regular files.

Properties:

-   Config: skip_links
-   Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_SKIP_LINKS
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false

--sftp-subsystem

Specifies the SSH2 subsystem on the remote host.

Properties:

-   Config: subsystem
-   Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_SUBSYSTEM
-   Type: string
-   Default: "sftp"

--sftp-server-command

Specifies the path or command to run a sftp server on the remote host.

The subsystem option is ignored when server_command is defined.

If adding server_command to the configuration file please note that it
should not be enclosed in quotes, since that will make rclone fail.

A working example is:

    [remote_name]
    type = sftp
    server_command = sudo /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server

Properties:

-   Config: server_command
-   Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_SERVER_COMMAND
-   Type: string
-   Required: false

--sftp-use-fstat

If set use fstat instead of stat.

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.

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.

Properties:

-   Config: use_fstat
-   Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_USE_FSTAT
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false

--sftp-disable-concurrent-reads

If set don't use concurrent reads.

Normally concurrent reads are safe to use and not using them will
degrade performance, so this option is disabled by default.

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

    Failed to copy: file does not exist

Then you may need to enable this flag.

If concurrent reads are disabled, the use_fstat option is ignored.

Properties:

-   Config: disable_concurrent_reads
-   Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_DISABLE_CONCURRENT_READS
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false

--sftp-disable-concurrent-writes

If set don't use concurrent writes.

Normally rclone uses concurrent writes to upload files. This improves
the performance greatly, especially for distant servers.

This option disables concurrent writes should that be necessary.

Properties:

-   Config: disable_concurrent_writes
-   Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_DISABLE_CONCURRENT_WRITES
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false

--sftp-idle-timeout

Max time before closing idle connections.

If no connections have been returned to the connection pool in the time
given, rclone will empty the connection pool.

Set to 0 to keep connections indefinitely.

Properties:

-   Config: idle_timeout
-   Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_IDLE_TIMEOUT
-   Type: Duration
-   Default: 1m0s

--sftp-chunk-size

Upload and download chunk size.

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.

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 rclone serve sftp 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.

Properties:

-   Config: chunk_size
-   Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_CHUNK_SIZE
-   Type: SizeSuffix
-   Default: 32Ki

--sftp-concurrency

The maximum number of outstanding requests for one file

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.

Properties:

-   Config: concurrency
-   Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_CONCURRENCY
-   Type: int
-   Default: 64

--sftp-set-env

Environment variables to pass to sftp and commands

Set environment variables in the form:

    VAR=value

to be passed to the sftp client and to any commands run (eg md5sum).

Pass multiple variables space separated, eg

    VAR1=value VAR2=value

and pass variables with spaces in quotes, eg

    "VAR3=value with space" "VAR4=value with space" VAR5=nospacehere

Properties:

-   Config: set_env
-   Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_SET_ENV
-   Type: SpaceSepList
-   Default:

--sftp-ciphers

Space separated list of ciphers to be used for session encryption,
ordered by preference.

At least one must match with server configuration. This can be checked
for example using ssh -Q cipher.

This must not be set if use_insecure_cipher is true.

Example:

    aes128-ctr aes192-ctr aes256-ctr aes128-gcm@openssh.com aes256-gcm@openssh.com

Properties:

-   Config: ciphers
-   Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_CIPHERS
-   Type: SpaceSepList
-   Default:

--sftp-key-exchange

Space separated list of key exchange algorithms, ordered by preference.

At least one must match with server configuration. This can be checked
for example using ssh -Q kex.

This must not be set if use_insecure_cipher is true.

Example:

    sntrup761x25519-sha512@openssh.com curve25519-sha256 curve25519-sha256@libssh.org ecdh-sha2-nistp256

Properties:

-   Config: key_exchange
-   Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_KEY_EXCHANGE
-   Type: SpaceSepList
-   Default:

--sftp-macs

Space separated list of MACs (message authentication code) algorithms,
ordered by preference.

At least one must match with server configuration. This can be checked
for example using ssh -Q mac.

Example:

    umac-64-etm@openssh.com umac-128-etm@openssh.com hmac-sha2-256-etm@openssh.com

Properties:

-   Config: macs
-   Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_MACS
-   Type: SpaceSepList
-   Default:

--sftp-host-key-algorithms

Space separated list of host key algorithms, ordered by preference.

At least one must match with server configuration. This can be checked
for example using ssh -Q HostKeyAlgorithms.

Note: This can affect the outcome of key negotiation with the server
even if server host key validation is not enabled.

Example:

    ssh-ed25519 ssh-rsa ssh-dss

Properties:

-   Config: host_key_algorithms
-   Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_HOST_KEY_ALGORITHMS
-   Type: SpaceSepList
-   Default:

--sftp-socks-proxy

Socks 5 proxy host.

Supports the format user:pass@host:port, user@host:port, host:port.

Example:

    myUser:myPass@localhost:9005

Properties:

-   Config: socks_proxy
-   Env Var: RCLONE_SFTP_SOCKS_PROXY
-   Type: string
-   Required: false

Limitations

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
disable_hashcheck is a good idea.

The only ssh agent supported under Windows is Putty's pageant.

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 use_insecure_cipher setting in the configuration
file to true. Further details on the insecurity of this cipher can be
found in this paper.

SFTP isn't supported under plan9 until this issue is fixed.

Note that since SFTP isn't HTTP based the following flags don't work
with it: --dump-headers, --dump-bodies, --dump-auth.

Note that --timeout and --contimeout are both supported.

rsync.net

rsync.net is supported through the SFTP backend.

See rsync.net's documentation of rclone examples.

Hetzner Storage Box

Hetzner Storage Boxes are supported through the SFTP backend on port 23.

See Hetzner's documentation for details

SMB

SMB is a communication protocol to share files over network.

This relies on go-smb2 library for communication with SMB protocol.

Paths are specified as remote:sharename (or remote: for the lsd
command.) You may put subdirectories in too, e.g.
remote:item/path/to/dir.

Notes

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
smb.conf (usually in /etc/samba/) file. You can find shares by querying
the root if you're unsure (e.g. rclone lsd remote:).

You can't access to the shared printers from rclone, obviously.

You can't use Anonymous access for logging in. You have to use the guest
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, the local backend on Windows can access SMB servers using
UNC paths, by \\server\share. This doesn't apply to non-Windows OSes,
such as Linux and macOS.

Storj

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.

Backend options

Storj can be used both with this native backend and with the s3 backend
using the Storj S3 compatible gateway (shared or private).

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.

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.

Side by side comparison with more details:

-   Characteristics:
    -   Storj backend: 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
    -   S3 backend: 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.
-   Typical usage:
    -   Storj backend: Server environments and desktops with enough
        resources, internet speed and connectivity - and applications
        where storjs client-side encryption is required.
    -   S3 backend: Desktops and similar with limited resources,
        internet speed or connectivity.
-   Security:
    -   Storj backend: strong. Private encryption key doesn't need to
        leave the local computer.
    -   S3 backend: weaker. Private encryption key is shared with the
        authentication service of the hosted gateway, where it's stored
        encrypted. It can be stronger when combining with the rclone
        crypt backend.
-   Bandwidth usage (upload):
    -   Storj backend: higher. 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.
    -   S3 backend: normal. Only the raw data is uploaded, erasure
        coding happens on the gateway.
-   Bandwidth usage (download)
    -   Storj backend: almost normal. 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).
    -   S3 backend: normal. Only the raw data is downloaded, erasure
        coding happens on the shared gateway.
-   CPU usage:
    -   Storj backend: higher, but more predictable. Erasure code and
        encryption/decryption happens locally which requires significant
        CPU usage.
    -   S3 backend: less. Erasure code and encryption/decryption happens
        on shared s3 gateways (and as is, it depends on the current load
        on the gateways)
-   TCP connection usage:
    -   Storj backend: high. 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. Adjusting
        the max open file limit may be required.
    -   S3 backend: normal. Only one connection per download/upload
        thread is required to the shared gateway.
-   Overall performance:
    -   Storj backend: with enough resources (CPU and bandwidth) storj
        backend can provide even 2x better performance. Data is directly
        downloaded to / uploaded from to the client instead of the
        gateway.
    -   S3 backend: 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.
-   Decentralization:
    -   Storj backend: high. Data is downloaded directly from the
        distributed cloud of storage providers.
    -   S3 backend: low. Requires a running S3 gateway (either
        self-hosted or Storj-hosted).
-   Limitations:
    -   Storj backend: rclone checksum is not possible without download,
        as checksum metadata is not calculated during upload
    -   S3 backend: secret encryption key is shared with the gateway

Use the mkdir command to create new bucket, e.g. bucket.

    rclone mkdir remote:bucket

List all buckets

Use the lsf command to list all buckets.

    rclone lsf remote:

Note the colon (:) character at the end of the command line.

Delete a bucket

Use the rmdir command to delete an empty bucket.

    rclone rmdir remote:bucket

Use the purge command to delete a non-empty bucket with all its content.

    rclone purge remote:bucket

Upload objects

Use the copy command to upload an object.

    rclone copy --progress /home/local/directory/file.ext remote:bucket/path/to/dir/

The --progress flag is for displaying progress information. Remove it if
you don't need this information.

Use a folder in the local path to upload all its objects.

    rclone copy --progress /home/local/directory/ remote:bucket/path/to/dir/

Only modified files will be copied.

List objects

Use the ls command to list recursively all objects in a bucket.

    rclone ls remote:bucket

Add the folder to the remote path to list recursively all objects in
this folder.

    rclone ls remote:bucket/path/to/dir/

Use the lsf command to list non-recursively all objects in a bucket or a
folder.

    rclone lsf remote:bucket/path/to/dir/

Download objects

Use the copy command to download an object.

    rclone copy --progress remote:bucket/path/to/dir/file.ext /home/local/directory/

The --progress flag is for displaying progress information. Remove it if
you don't need this information.

Use a folder in the remote path to download all its objects.

    rclone copy --progress remote:bucket/path/to/dir/ /home/local/directory/

Delete objects

Use the deletefile command to delete a single object.

    rclone deletefile remote:bucket/path/to/dir/file.ext

Use the delete command to delete all object in a folder.

    rclone delete remote:bucket/path/to/dir/

Print the total size of objects

Use the size command to print the total size of objects in a bucket or a
folder.

    rclone size remote:bucket/path/to/dir/

Sync two Locations

Use the sync command to sync the source to the destination, changing the
destination only, deleting any excess files.

    rclone sync --interactive --progress /home/local/directory/ remote:bucket/path/to/dir/

The --progress flag is for displaying progress information. Remove it if
you don't need this information.

Since this can cause data loss, test first with the --dry-run flag to
see exactly what would be copied and deleted.

The sync can be done also from Storj to the local file system.

    rclone sync --interactive --progress remote:bucket/path/to/dir/ /home/local/directory/

Or between two Storj buckets.

    rclone sync --interactive --progress remote-us:bucket/path/to/dir/ remote-europe:bucket/path/to/dir/

Or even between another cloud storage and Storj.

    rclone sync --interactive --progress s3:bucket/path/to/dir/ storj:bucket/path/to/dir/

Limitations

rclone about is not supported by the rclone Storj backend. Backends
without this capability cannot determine free space for an rclone mount
or use policy mfs (most free space) as a member of an rclone union
remote.

See List of backends that do not support rclone about and rclone about

Known issues

If you get errors like too many open files this usually happens when the
default ulimit 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).

To fix these, please raise your system limits. You can do this issuing a
ulimit -n 65536 just before you run rclone. To change the limits more
permanently you can add this to your shell startup script, e.g.
$HOME/.bashrc, or change the system-wide configuration, usually
/etc/sysctl.conf and/or /etc/security/limits.conf, but please refer to
your operating system manual.

SugarSync

SugarSync is a cloud service that enables active synchronization of
files across computers and other devices for file backup, access,
syncing, and sharing.

Configuration

The initial setup for SugarSync involves getting a token from SugarSync
which you can do with rclone. 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:

    No remotes found, make a new one?
    n) New remote
    s) Set configuration password
    q) Quit config
    n/s/q> n
    name> remote
    Type of storage to configure.
    Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default ("").
    Choose a number from below, or type in your own value
    [snip]
    XX / Sugarsync
       \ "sugarsync"
    [snip]
    Storage> sugarsync
    ** See help for sugarsync backend at: https://rclone.org/sugarsync/ **

    Sugarsync App ID.
    Leave blank to use rclone's.
    Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default ("").
    app_id> 
    Sugarsync Access Key ID.
    Leave blank to use rclone's.
    Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default ("").
    access_key_id> 
    Sugarsync Private Access Key

    Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default ("").
    private_access_key> 
    Permanently delete files if true
    otherwise put them in the deleted files.
    Enter a boolean value (true or false). Press Enter for the default ("false").
    hard_delete> 
    Edit advanced config? (y/n)
    y) Yes
    n) No (default)
    y/n> n
    Remote config
    Username (email address)> nick@craig-wood.com
    Your Sugarsync password is only required during setup and will not be stored.
    password:
    --------------------
    [remote]
    type = sugarsync
    refresh_token = https://api.sugarsync.com/app-authorization/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
    --------------------
    y) Yes this is OK (default)
    e) Edit this remote
    d) Delete this remote
    y/e/d> y

Note that the config asks for your email and password but doesn't store
them, it only uses them to get the initial token.

Once configured you can then use rclone like this,

List directories (sync folders) in top level of your SugarSync

    rclone lsd remote:

List all the files in your SugarSync folder "Test"

    rclone ls remote:Test

To copy a local directory to an SugarSync folder called backup

    rclone copy /home/source remote:backup

Paths are specified as remote:path

Paths may be as deep as required, e.g. remote:directory/subdirectory.

NB you can't create files in the top level folder you have to create a
folder, which rclone will create as a "Sync Folder" with SugarSync.

Modified time and hashes

SugarSync does not support modification times or hashes, therefore
syncing will default to --size-only checking. Note that using --update
will work as rclone can read the time files were uploaded.

Restricted filename characters

SugarSync replaces the default restricted characters set except for DEL.

Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be replaced, as they can't be used in XML
strings.

Deleting files

Deleted files will be moved to the "Deleted items" folder by default.

However you can supply the flag --sugarsync-hard-delete or set the
config parameter hard_delete = true if you would like files to be
deleted straight away.

Tardigrade

The Tardigrade backend has been renamed to be the Storj backend. Old
configuration files will continue to work.

Uptobox

This is a Backend for Uptobox file storage service. Uptobox is closer to
a one-click hoster than a traditional cloud storage provider and
therefore not suitable for long term storage.

Paths are specified as remote:path

Paths may be as deep as required, e.g. remote:directory/subdirectory.

Configuration

To configure an Uptobox backend you'll need your personal api token.
You'll find it in your account settings

Here is an example of how to make a remote called remote with the
default setup. First run:

    rclone config

This will guide you through an interactive setup process:

    Current remotes:

    Name                 Type
    ====                 ====

    --------------------
    y) Yes this is OK (default)
    e) Edit this remote
    d) Delete this remote
    y/e/d> 

Once configured you can then use rclone like this,

List directories in top level of your Uptobox

    rclone lsd remote:

List all the files in your Uptobox

    rclone ls remote:

To copy a local directory to an Uptobox directory called backup

    rclone copy /home/source remote:backup

Modified time and hashes

Uptobox supports neither modified times nor checksums. All timestamps
will read as that set by --default-time.

Restricted filename characters

In addition to the default restricted characters set the following
characters are also replaced:

  Character    Value   Replacement
  ----------- ------- -------------
  "            0x22        ＂
  `            0x41        ｀

Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be replaced, as they can't be used in XML
strings.

Standard options

Here are the Standard options specific to uptobox (Uptobox).

--uptobox-access-token

Your access token.

Get it from https://uptobox.com/my_account.

Properties:

-   Config: access_token
-   Env Var: RCLONE_UPTOBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN
-   Type: string
-   Required: false

Advanced options

Here are the Advanced options specific to uptobox (Uptobox).

--uptobox-private

Set to make uploaded files private

Properties:

-   Config: private
-   Env Var: RCLONE_UPTOBOX_PRIVATE
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false

--uptobox-encoding

The encoding for the backend.

See the encoding section in the overview for more info.

Properties:

-   Env Var: RCLONE_UPTOBOX_ENCODING
-   Type: MultiEncoder
-   Default:
    Slash,LtGt,DoubleQuote,BackQuote,Del,Ctl,LeftSpace,InvalidUtf8,Dot

Limitations

Uptobox will delete inactive files that have not been accessed in 60
days.

rclone about is not supported by this backend an overview of used space
can however been seen in the uptobox web interface.

Union

The union backend joins several remotes together to make a single
unified view of them.

During the initial setup with rclone config you will specify the
upstream remotes as a space separated list. The upstream remotes can
either be a local paths or other remotes.

The attributes :ro, :nc and :nc can be attached to the end of the remote
to tag the remote as read only, no create or writeback, e.g.
remote:directory/subdirectory:ro or remote:directory/subdirectory:nc.

-   :ro means files will only be read from here and never written
-   :nc means new files or directories won't be created here
-   :writeback means files found in different remotes will be written
    back here. See the writeback section for more info.

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

There is no special handling of paths containing .. segments. Invoking
rclone mkdir backup:../desktop is exactly the same as invoking
rclone mkdir mydrive:private/backup/../desktop.

Configuration

Here is an example of how to make a union called remote for local
folders. First run:

     rclone config

This will guide you through an interactive setup process:

    No remotes found, make a new one?

Once configured you can then use rclone like this,

List directories in top level in remote1:dir1, remote2:dir2 and
remote3:dir3

    rclone lsd remote:

List all the files in remote1:dir1, remote2:dir2 and remote3:dir3

    rclone ls remote:

Copy another local directory to the union directory called source, which
will be placed into remote3:dir3

    rclone copy C:\source remote:source

Behavior / Policies

The behavior of union backend is inspired by trapexit/mergerfs. All
functions are grouped into 3 categories: action, create and search.
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: rand (random) may be useful for
file creation (create) but could lead to very odd behavior if used for
delete if there were more than one copy of the file.

Function / Category classifications

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Category   Description     Functions
  ---------- --------------- -------------------------------------------------
  action     Writing         move, rmdir, rmdirs, delete, purge and copy, sync
             Existing file   (as destination when file exist)

  create     Create          copy, sync (as destination when file not exist)
             non-existing    
             file            

  search     Reading and     ls, lsd, lsl, cat, md5sum, sha1sum and copy, sync
             listing file    (as source)

  N/A                        size, about
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Path Preservation

Policies, as described below, are of two basic types. path preserving
and non-path preserving.

All policies which start with ep (epff, eplfs, eplus, epmfs, eprand) are
path preserving. ep stands for existing path.

A path preserving policy will only consider upstreams where the relative
path being accessed already exists.

When using non-path preserving policies paths will be created in target
upstreams as necessary.

Quota Relevant Policies

Some policies rely on quota information. These policies should be used
only if your upstreams support the respective quota fields.

  Policy       Required Field
  ------------ ----------------
  lfs, eplfs   Free
  mfs, epmfs   Free
  lus, eplus   Used
  lno, eplno   Objects

To check if your upstream supports the field, run
rclone about remote: [flags] and see if the required field exists.

Filters

Policies basically search upstream remotes and create a list of files /
paths for functions to work on. The policy is responsible for filtering
and sorting. The policy type defines the sorting but filtering is mostly
uniform as described below.

-   No search policies filter.
-   All action policies will filter out remotes which are tagged as
    read-only.
-   All create policies will filter out remotes which are tagged
    read-only or no-create.

If all remotes are filtered an error will be returned.

Policy descriptions

The policies definition are inspired by trapexit/mergerfs but not
exactly the same. Some policy definition could be different due to the
much larger latency of remote file systems.

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Policy           Description
  ---------------- ------------------------------------------------------
  all              Search category: same as epall. Action category: same
                   as epall. Create category: act on all upstreams.

  epall (existing  Search category: Given this order configured, act on
  path, all)       the first one found where the relative path exists.
                   Action category: apply to all found. Create category:
                   act on all upstreams where the relative path exists.

  space)           

  eplus (existing  Of all the upstreams on which the relative path exists
  path, least used choose the one with the least used space.
  space)           

  eplno (existing  Of all the upstreams on which the relative path exists
  path, least      choose the one with the least number of objects.
  number of        
  objects)         

  epmfs (existing  Of all the upstreams on which the relative path exists
  path, most free  choose the one with the most free space.
  space)           

  eprand (existing Calls epall and then randomizes. Returns only one
  path, random)    upstream.

  ff (first found) Search category: same as epff. Action category: same
                   as epff. Create category: Act on the first one found
                   by the time upstreams reply.

  lfs (least free  Search category: same as eplfs. Action category: same
  space)           as eplfs. Create category: Pick the upstream with the
                   least available free space.

  lus (least used  Search category: same as eplus. Action category: same
  space)           as eplus. Create category: Pick the upstream with the
                   least used space.

  lno (least       Search category: same as eplno. Action category: same
  number of        as eplno. Create category: Pick the upstream with the
  objects)         least number of objects.

  mfs (most free   Search category: same as epmfs. Action category: same
  space)           as epmfs. Create category: Pick the upstream with the
                   most available free space.

  newest           Pick the file / directory with the largest mtime.

  rand (random)    Calls all and then randomizes. Returns only one
                   upstream.
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Writeback

The tag :writeback on an upstream remote can be used to make a simple
cache system like this:

    [union]
    type = union
    action_policy = all
    create_policy = all
    search_policy = ff
    upstreams = /local:writeback remote:dir

When files are opened for read, if the file is in remote:dir but not
/local then rclone will copy the file entirely into /local before
returning a reference to the file in /local. The copy will be done with
the equivalent of rclone copy so will use --multi-thread-streams if
configured. Any copies will be logged with an INFO log.

When files are written, they will be written to both remote:dir and
/local.

As many remotes as desired can be added to upstreams but there should
only be one :writeback tag.

Rclone does not manage the :writeback 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.

considered for use in lfs or eplfs policies.

Properties:

-   Config: min_free_space
-   Env Var: RCLONE_UNION_MIN_FREE_SPACE
-   Type: SizeSuffix
-   Default: 1Gi

Metadata

Any metadata supported by the underlying remote is read and written.

See the metadata docs for more info.

WebDAV

Paths are specified as remote:path

Paths may be as deep as required, e.g. remote:directory/subdirectory.

Configuration

To configure the WebDAV remote you will need to have a URL for it, and a
username and password. If you know what kind of system you are
connecting to then rclone can enable extra features.

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:

    No remotes found, make a new one?
    n) New remote
    s) Set configuration password
    q) Quit config
    n/s/q> n
    name> remote
    Type of storage to configure.
    Choose a number from below, or type in your own value

    Remote config
    --------------------
    [remote]
    type = webdav
    url = https://example.com/remote.php/webdav/
    vendor = nextcloud
    user = user

    bearer_token =
    --------------------
    y) Yes this is OK
    e) Edit this remote
    d) Delete this remote
    y/e/d> y

Once configured you can then use rclone like this,

List directories in top level of your WebDAV

    rclone lsd remote:

List all the files in your WebDAV

    rclone ls remote:

To copy a local directory to an WebDAV directory called backup

    rclone copy /home/source remote:backup

Modified time and hashes

Plain WebDAV does not support modified times. However when used with
Fastmail Files, Owncloud or Nextcloud rclone will support modified
times.

Likewise plain WebDAV does not support hashes, however when used with
Fastmail Files, Owncloud or Nextcloud rclone will support SHA1 and MD5
hashes. Depending on the exact version of Owncloud or Nextcloud hashes
may appear on all objects, or only on objects which had a hash uploaded
with them.

Provider notes

See below for notes on specific providers.

Fastmail Files

Use https://webdav.fastmail.com/ or a subdirectory as the URL, and your
Fastmail email username@domain.tld as the username. Follow this
documentation to create an app password with access to Files (WebDAV)
and use this as the password.

Fastmail supports modified times using the X-OC-Mtime header.

Owncloud

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 https://example.com/remote.php/webdav/.

Owncloud supports modified times using the X-OC-Mtime header.

Nextcloud

This is configured in an identical way to Owncloud. Note that Nextcloud
initially did not support streaming of files (rcat) whereas Owncloud
did, but this seems to be fixed as of 2020-11-27 (tested with rclone
v1.53.1 and Nextcloud Server v19).

Sharepoint Online

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 github#1975

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.

To use a sharepoint remote with rclone, add it like this: First, you
need to get your remote's URL:

-   Go here to open your OneDrive or to sign in
-   Now take a look at your address bar, the URL should look like this:
    https://[YOUR-DOMAIN]-my.sharepoint.com/personal/[YOUR-EMAIL]/_layouts/15/onedrive.aspx

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.

Add the remote to rclone like this: Configure the url as
https://[YOUR-DOMAIN]-my.sharepoint.com/personal/[YOUR-EMAIL]/Documents
and use your normal account email and password for user and pass. If you
have 2FA enabled, you have to generate an app password. Set the vendor
to sharepoint.

Your config file should look like this:

    [sharepoint]
    type = webdav
    url = https://[YOUR-DOMAIN]-my.sharepoint.com/personal/[YOUR-EMAIL]/Documents
    vendor = sharepoint
    user = YourEmailAddress
    pass = encryptedpassword

Sharepoint with NTLM Authentication

Use this option in case your (hosted) Sharepoint is not tied to OneDrive
accounts and uses NTLM authentication.

To get the url 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.

Example: If the URL is:
https://example.sharepoint.com/sites/12345/Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx

The configuration to use would be:
https://example.sharepoint.com/sites/12345/Documents

Set the vendor to sharepoint-ntlm.

NTLM uses domain and user name combination for authentication, set user
to DOMAIN\username.

Your config file should look like this:

    [sharepoint]
    type = webdav
    url = https://[YOUR-DOMAIN]/some-path-to/Documents
    vendor = sharepoint-ntlm
    user = DOMAIN\user
    pass = encryptedpassword

Required Flags for SharePoint

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.

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:

    --ignore-size --ignore-checksum --update

dCache

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 Macaroons and
OpenID-Connect access tokens.

Configure as normal using the other type. Don't enter a username or
password, instead enter your Macaroon as the bearer_token.

The config will end up looking something like this.

    [dcache]
    type = webdav
    url = https://dcache...
    vendor = other
    user =
    pass =
    bearer_token = your-macaroon

There is a script that obtains a Macaroon from a dCache WebDAV endpoint,
and creates an rclone config file.

Macaroons may also be obtained from the dCacheView
web-browser/JavaScript client that comes with dCache.

OpenID-Connect

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.

Support for OpenID-Connect in rclone is currently achieved using another
software package called oidc-agent. This is a command-line tool that
facilitates obtaining an access token. Once installed and configured, an
access token is obtained by running the oidc-token command. The
following example shows a (shortened) access token obtained from the XDC
OIDC Provider.

    paul@celebrimbor:~$ oidc-token XDC
    eyJraWQ[...]QFXDt0
    paul@celebrimbor:~$

Note Before the oidc-token command will work, the refresh token must be
loaded into the oidc agent. This is done with the oidc-add command
(e.g., oidc-add XDC). 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 oidc-agent documentation.

The rclone bearer_token_command configuration option is used to fetch
the access token from oidc-agent.

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.,
oidc-agent XDC).

The following example config shows a WebDAV endpoint that uses
oidc-agent to supply an access token from the XDC OIDC Provider.

    [dcache]
    type = webdav
    url = https://dcache.example.org/
    vendor = other
    bearer_token_command = oidc-token XDC

Yandex Disk

Yandex Disk is a cloud storage solution created by Yandex.

Configuration

Here is an example of making a yandex configuration. First run

    rclone config

This will guide you through an interactive setup process:

    No remotes found, make a new one?
    n) New remote
    s) Set configuration password
    n/s> n
    name> remote
    Type of storage to configure.
    Choose a number from below, or type in your own value
    [snip]
    XX / Yandex Disk
       \ "yandex"
    [snip]
    Storage> yandex
    Yandex Client Id - leave blank normally.
    client_id>
    Yandex Client Secret - leave blank normally.
    client_secret>
    Remote config
    Use web browser to automatically authenticate rclone with remote?
     * Say Y if the machine running rclone has a web browser you can use
     * Say N if running rclone on a (remote) machine without web browser access
    If not sure try Y. If Y failed, try N.
    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
    Waiting for code...
    Got code
    --------------------
    [remote]
    client_id =
    client_secret =
    token = {"access_token":"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx","token_type":"OAuth","expiry":"2016-12-29T12:27:11.362788025Z"}
    --------------------
    y) Yes this is OK
    e) Edit this remote
    d) Delete this remote
    y/e/d> y

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 --interactive /home/local/directory remote:directory

Yandex paths may be as deep as required, e.g.
remote:directory/subdirectory.

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.

Emptying Trash

If you wish to empty your trash you can use the rclone cleanup remote:
command which will permanently delete all your trashed files. This
command does not take any path arguments.

Quota information

To view your current quota you can use the rclone about remote: command
which will display your usage limit (quota) and the current usage.

Restricted filename characters

The default restricted characters set are replaced.

Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be replaced, as they can't be used in JSON
strings.

Standard options

Here are the Standard options specific to yandex (Yandex Disk).

--yandex-client-id

-   Default: false

--yandex-encoding

The encoding for the backend.

See the encoding section in the overview for more info.

Properties:

-   Config: encoding
-   Env Var: RCLONE_YANDEX_ENCODING
-   Type: MultiEncoder
-   Default: Slash,Del,Ctl,InvalidUtf8,Dot

Limitations

When uploading very large files (bigger than about 5 GiB) you will need
to increase the --timeout 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 net/http: timeout awaiting response headers
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 2 * 30 = 60m, that is --timeout 60m.

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.

    [403 - DiskUnsupportedUserAccountTypeError] User account type is not supported.

Zoho Workdrive

Zoho WorkDrive is a cloud storage solution created by Zoho.

Rclone runs a webserver on your local computer to collect the
authorization token from Zoho Workdrive. This is only from the moment
your browser is opened until the token is returned. The webserver runs
on http://127.0.0.1:53682/. If local port 53682 is protected by a
firewall you may need to temporarily unblock the firewall to complete
authorization.

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 --interactive /home/local/directory remote:directory

Zoho paths may be as deep as required, eg remote:directory/subdirectory.

Modified time

Modified times are currently not supported for Zoho Workdrive

Checksums

No checksums are supported.

Usage information

To view your current quota you can use the rclone about remote: command
which will display your current usage.

Restricted filename characters

Only control characters and invalid UTF-8 are replaced. In addition most
Unicode full-width characters are not supported at all and will be
removed from filenames during upload.

Standard options

Here are the Standard options specific to zoho (Zoho).

--zoho-client-id

sure use the same top level domain as you connect to in your browser.

Properties:

-   Config: region
-   Env Var: RCLONE_ZOHO_REGION
-   Type: string
-   Required: false
-   Examples:
    -   "com"
        -   United states / Global

        -   Japan
    -   "com.cn"
        -   China
    -   "com.au"
        -   Australia

Advanced options

Here are the Advanced options specific to zoho (Zoho).

--zoho-token

OAuth Access Token as a JSON blob.

Properties:

-   Config: token
-   Env Var: RCLONE_ZOHO_TOKEN
-   Type: string
-   Required: false

--zoho-auth-url

Auth server URL.

Leave blank to use the provider defaults.

Token server url.

Leave blank to use the provider defaults.

Properties:

-   Config: token_url
-   Env Var: RCLONE_ZOHO_TOKEN_URL
-   Type: string
-   Required: false

See the encoding section in the overview for more info.

Properties:

-   Config: encoding
-   Env Var: RCLONE_ZOHO_ENCODING
-   Type: MultiEncoder
-   Default: Del,Ctl,InvalidUtf8

Setting up your own client_id

For Zoho we advise you to set up your own client_id. To do so you have
to complete the following steps.

1.  Log in to the Zoho API Console

2.  Create a new client of type "Server-based Application". The name and
    website don't matter, but you must add the redirect URL
    http://localhost:53682/.

3.  Once the client is created, you can go to the settings tab and
    enable it in other regions.

The client id and client secret can now be used with rclone.

Local Filesystem

Local paths are specified as normal filesystem paths, e.g.
/path/to/wherever, so

    rclone sync --interactive /home/source /tmp/destination

Will sync /home/source to /tmp/destination.

Configuration

For consistencies sake one can also configure a remote of type local in
the config file, and access the local filesystem using rclone remote
paths, e.g. remote:path/to/wherever, 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 should 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 (e.g. 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 characters will
be replaced with a quoted representation of the invalid bytes. The name
gro\xdf will be transferred as gro‛DF. rclone will emit a debug message
in this case (use -v to see), e.g.

    Local file system at .: Replacing invalid UTF-8 characters in "gro\xdf"

Restricted characters

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
rclone help flags local-encoding.

On non Windows platforms the following characters are replaced when
handling file names.

  Character    Value   Replacement
  ----------- ------- -------------
  NUL          0x00         ␀
  /            0x2F        ／

When running on Windows the following characters are replaced. This list
is based on the Windows file naming conventions.

File names on Windows can also not end with the following characters.
These only get replaced if they are the last character in the name:

  Character    Value   Replacement
  ----------- ------- -------------
  SP           0x20         ␠
  .            0x2E        ．

Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be replaced, as they can't be converted to
UTF-16.

Paths on Windows

On Windows there are many ways of specifying a path to a file system
resource. Local paths can be absolute, like C:\path\to\wherever, or
relative, like ..\wherever. Network paths in UNC format, \\server\share,
are also supported. Path separator can be either \ (as in
C:\path\to\wherever) or / (as in C:/path/to/wherever). 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 \\?\, e.g.
\\?\D:\some\very\long\path. 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 below).

Note that Windows supports using the same prefix \\?\ to specify path to
volumes identified by their GUID, e.g.
\\?\Volume{b75e2c83-0000-0000-0000-602f00000000}\some\path. This is not
supported in rclone, due to an issue in go.

Long paths

Rclone handles long paths automatically, by converting all paths to
extended-length path format, which allows paths up to 32,767 characters.

This conversion will ensure paths are absolute and prefix them with the
\\?\. This is why you will see that your paths, for instance .\files is
shown as path \\?\C:\files in the output, and \\server\share as
\\?\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 259
characters on z, so only use this option if you have to.

Symlinks / Junction points

Normally rclone will ignore symlinks or junction points (which behave
like symlinks under Windows).

If you supply --copy-links or -L then rclone will follow the symlink and
copy the pointed to file or directory. Note that this flag is
incompatible with --links / -l.

This flag applies to all commands.

For example, supposing you have a directory structure like this

    $ tree /tmp/a
    /tmp/a
    ├── b -> ../b
    ├── expected -> ../expected
    ├── one
    └── two
        └── three

Then you can see the difference with and without the flag like this

    $ rclone ls /tmp/a
            6 one
            6 two/three

and

    $ rclone -L ls /tmp/a
         4174 expected
            6 one
            6 two/three
            6 b/two
            6 b/one

--links, -l

Normally rclone will ignore symlinks or junction points (which behave
like symlinks under Windows).

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.

The text file will contain the target of the symbolic link (see
example).

This flag applies to all commands.

For example, supposing you have a directory structure like this

    $ tree /tmp/a
    /tmp/a
    ├── file1 -> ./file4
    └── file2 -> /home/user/file3

Copying the entire directory with '-l'

    $ rclone copyto -l /tmp/a/file1 remote:/tmp/a/

The remote files are created with a '.rclonelink' suffix

    $ rclone ls remote:/tmp/a
           5 file1.rclonelink
          14 file2.rclonelink

The remote files will contain the target of the symbolic links

    $ rclone cat remote:/tmp/a/file1.rclonelink
    ./file4

    $ rclone cat remote:/tmp/a/file2.rclonelink
    /home/user/file3

Copying them back with '-l'

    $ rclone copyto -l remote:/tmp/a/ /tmp/b/

    $ tree /tmp/b
    /tmp/b
    ├── file1 -> ./file4
    └── file2 -> /home/user/file3

However, if copied back without '-l'

    $ rclone copyto remote:/tmp/a/ /tmp/b/

    $ tree /tmp/b
    /tmp/b
    ├── file1.rclonelink
    └── file2.rclonelink

Note that this flag is incompatible with -copy-links / -L.

Restricting filesystems with --one-file-system

Normally rclone will recurse through filesystems as mounted.

However if you set --one-file-system or -x this tells rclone to stay in
the filesystem specified by the root and not to recurse into different
file systems.

For example if you have a directory hierarchy like this

    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

Using rclone --one-file-system copy root remote: will only copy file1
and file2. Eg

    $ rclone -q --one-file-system ls root
            0 file1
            0 file2

    $ rclone -q ls root
            0 disk1/file3
            0 disk2/file4
            0 file1
            0 file2

NB Rclone (like most unix tools such as du, rsync and tar) treats a bind
mount to the same device as being on the same filesystem.

NB This flag is only available on Unix based systems. On systems where
it isn't supported (e.g. Windows) it will be ignored.

Advanced options

Here are the Advanced options specific to local (Local Disk).

--local-nounc

Disable UNC (long path names) conversion on Windows.

Properties:

-   Config: nounc
-   Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_NOUNC
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false
-   Examples:
    -   "true"
        -   Disables long file names.

--copy-links / -L

Follow symlinks and copy the pointed to item.

Properties:

-   Config: copy_links
-   Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_COPY_LINKS
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false

--links / -l

Translate symlinks to/from regular files with a '.rclonelink' extension.

Properties:

-   Config: links
-   Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_LINKS
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false

--skip-links

Don't warn about skipped symlinks.

This flag disables warning messages on skipped symlinks or junction
points, as you explicitly acknowledge that they should be skipped.

Properties:

-   Config: skip_links
-   Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_SKIP_LINKS
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false

--local-zero-size-links

Assume the Stat size of links is zero (and read them instead)
(deprecated).

Rclone used to use the Stat size of links as the link size, but this
fails in quite a few places:

-   Windows
-   On some virtual filesystems (such ash LucidLink)
-   Android

So rclone now always reads the link.

Properties:

-   Config: zero_size_links
-   Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_ZERO_SIZE_LINKS
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false

--local-unicode-normalization

Apply unicode NFC normalization to paths and filenames.

This flag can be used to normalize file names into unicode NFC form that
are read from the local filesystem.

Rclone does not normally touch the encoding of file names it reads from
the file system.

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.

Note that rclone compares filenames with unicode normalization in the
sync routine so this flag shouldn't normally be used.

Properties:

-   Config: unicode_normalization
-   Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_UNICODE_NORMALIZATION
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false

--local-no-check-updated

Don't check to see if the files change during upload.

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.

However on some file systems this modification time check may fail (e.g.
Glusterfs #2206) so this check can be disabled with this flag.

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.

If the file is being modified throughout (not just appended to) then the
transfer may fail with a hash check failure.

In detail, once the file has had stat() called on it for the first time
we:

-   Only transfer the size that stat gave
-   Only checksum the size that stat gave
-   Don't update the stat info for the file

Properties:

-   Config: no_check_updated
-   Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_NO_CHECK_UPDATED
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false

--one-file-system / -x

Don't cross filesystem boundaries (unix/macOS only).

Properties:

-   Config: one_file_system
-   Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_ONE_FILE_SYSTEM
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false

--local-case-sensitive

Force the filesystem to report itself as case sensitive.

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.

Properties:

-   Config: case_sensitive
-   Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_CASE_SENSITIVE
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false

--local-case-insensitive

Force the filesystem to report itself as case insensitive.

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.

Properties:

-   Config: case_insensitive
-   Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_CASE_INSENSITIVE
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false

--local-no-preallocate

Disable preallocation of disk space for transferred files.

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.

Properties:

-   Config: no_preallocate
-   Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_NO_PREALLOCATE
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false

--local-no-sparse

Disable sparse files for multi-thread downloads.

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.

Properties:

-   Config: no_sparse
-   Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_NO_SPARSE
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false

--local-no-set-modtime

Disable setting modtime.

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.

Properties:

-   Config: no_set_modtime
-   Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_NO_SET_MODTIME
-   Type: bool
-   Default: false

--local-encoding

The encoding for the backend.

See the encoding section in the overview for more info.

Properties:

-   Config: encoding
-   Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_ENCODING
-   Type: MultiEncoder
-   Default: Slash,Dot

Metadata

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 not supported on Windows yet (see
pkg/attrs#47).

User metadata is stored as extended attributes (which may not be
supported by all file systems) under the "user.*" prefix.

Here are the possible system metadata items for the local backend.

-   Major changes
    -   Files will be copied to a temporary name ending in .partial when
        copying to local,ftp,sftp then renamed at the end of the
        transfer. (Janne Hellsten, Nick Craig-Wood)
        -   This helps with data integrity as we don't delete the
            existing file until the new one is complete.
        -   It can be disabled with the --inplace flag.
        -   This behaviour will also happen if the backend is wrapped,
            for example sftp wrapped with crypt.
    -   The s3, azureblob and gcs backends now support directory markers
        so empty directories are supported (Jānis Bebrītis, Nick
        Craig-Wood)
    -   The --default-time flag now controls the unknown modification
        time of files/dirs (Nick Craig-Wood)
        -   If a file or directory does not have a modification time
            rclone can read then rclone will display this fixed time
            instead.
        -   For the old behaviour use --default-time 0s which will set
            this time to the time rclone started up.

Bugs and Limitations

Limitations

Directory timestamps aren't preserved

Rclone doesn't currently preserve the timestamps of directories. This is
because rclone only really considers objects when syncing.

Rclone struggles with millions of files in a directory/bucket

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.

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.

Bucket-based remotes and folders

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.

Some software creates empty keys ending in / 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).

Frequently Asked Questions

Do all cloud storage systems support all rclone commands

Yes they do. All the rclone commands (e.g. 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, run rclone config file 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).

e.g.

    rclone sync --interactive 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, e.g.

    Server A> rclone sync --interactive /tmp/whatever remote:ServerA
    Server B> rclone sync --interactive /tmp/whatever remote:ServerB

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.

    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 (e.g. 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 (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.

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?

Yes, since rclone v1.58.0, bidirectional cloud sync is available.

Can I use rclone with an HTTP proxy?

Yes. rclone will follow the standard environment variables for proxies,
similar to cURL and other programs.

In general the variables are called http_proxy (for services reached
over http) and https_proxy (for services reached over https). Most
public services will be using https, but you may wish to set both.

The content of the variable is protocol://server:port. The protocol
value is the one used to talk to the proxy server, itself, and is
commonly either http or socks5.

Slightly annoyingly, there is no standard for the name; some
applications may use http_proxy but another one HTTP_PROXY. The Go
libraries used by rclone will try both variations, but you may wish to
set all possibilities. So, on Linux, you may end up with code similar to

    export http_proxy=http://proxyserver:12345
    export https_proxy=$http_proxy
    export HTTP_PROXY=$http_proxy
    export HTTPS_PROXY=$http_proxy

Note: If the proxy server requires a username and password, then use

    export http_proxy=http://username:password@proxyserver:12345
    export https_proxy=$http_proxy
    export HTTP_PROXY=$http_proxy
    export HTTPS_PROXY=$http_proxy

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".

e.g.

    export no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,my.host.name
    export NO_PROXY=$no_proxy

Note that the FTP backend does not support ftp_proxy yet.

Rclone gives x509: failed to load system roots and no roots provided error

This means that rclone can't find 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

The two environment variables SSL_CERT_FILE and SSL_CERT_DIR, mentioned
in the x509 package, provide an additional way to provide the SSL root
certificates.

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

tcp lookup some.domain.com no such host

This happens when rclone cannot resolve a domain. Please check that your
DNS setup is generally working, e.g.

    # 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's DNS server

If you are using systemd-resolved (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.

The Go resolver decision can be influenced with the GODEBUG=netdns=...
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 GODEBUG=netdns=go at runtime. On other
systems (Linux, *BSD, etc) try forcing use of the system name resolver
by setting GODEBUG=netdns=cgo (and recompile rclone from source with CGO
enabled if necessary). See the name resolution section in the go docs.

Failed to start auth webserver on Windows

    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.

This is sometimes caused by the Host Network Service causing issues with
opening the port on the host.

A simple solution may be restarting the Host Network Service with eg.
Powershell

    Restart-Service hns

The total size reported in the stats for a sync is wrong and keeps changing

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 --max-backlog
flag.

Rclone is using too much memory or appears to have a memory leak

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.

However it is possible to tune the garbage collector to use less memory
by setting GOGC to a lower value, say export GOGC=20. This will make the
garbage collector work harder, reducing memory size at the expense of
CPU usage.

The most common cause of rclone using lots of memory is a single
directory with thousands or millions of files in. Rclone has to load
this entirely into memory as rclone objects. Each rclone object takes
0.5k-1k of memory.

Rclone changes fullwidth Unicode punctuation marks in file names

For example: On a Windows system, you have a file with name Test：1.jpg,
where ： 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 Test:1.jpg, where : is the regular (halfwidth) colon.

The reason for such renames is the way rclone handles different
restricted filenames 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 here.
