This is a powerful command line tool designed for technical users, as the official Web GUI is no longer up to date. However, there’s an excellent third-party web GUI application that is user-friendly and perfect for beginners. [https://github.com/yuudi/rclone-webui-angular/tree/master]
It supports so many features and services !
Cloud storage powerhouse app. Connect/Sync/Backup all cloud services and mount like regular disk. Transaction beside device/among other services kind possiblites
rclone is the easiest way to mount online storage with winfsp software on Windows Explorer.
The GUI Rclone is quite good but not better than the alternatives and I can consider Syncback , Resilio and Gs Richcopy 360 . Also Goodsync is great
Supports a lot of providers, great.
Many of the comments here are out of date. RClone CAN absolutely mount cloud storage of all kinds including WebDAV. You can even choose where to mount it, and what type (if any) disk you want it to appear as.
This program has an awesome set of options including the ability to customize how the file cache works! Big plus in my book.
The command line is NOT hard at all, it even holds your hand in doing the initial setup. The problem is RClone isn’t super well known yet, so there’s not a ton of tutorials on it. But the forums are super helpful and friendly.
There's one thing, in my opinion: being a command-line tool, I think it doesn't give a pop-up alert if a backup goes wrong... which I think it's important... For example Duplicati can do this...
Oops... I'm sorry, maybe I was wrong abput Duplicati... I use the (very) old version 1.3.4, which has notifications in the tray area... But I've just read another comment, the guy is saying that newer versions of Duplicati don't have them anymore...
