Command line tool, not suitable for common users.
Support many (free) cloud storage providers.
The command line interface may seems difficult and need some time to get used to.
It can sort of replace Cryptomator. You can encrypt the uploaded files via rclone crypt and password before they get uploaded. When it is configured for the first time you do not need to enter password anymore. But Cryptomator's GUI is better.
You can use it even on Android devices via Termux.

Any GUI available?
Could the existing users of this little applet suggest any good GUI wrapper to make it accessible to those not proficient at the CLI?

Thanks for your suggestion, jasonlane, but appimage only for Linux breaks it for me.

this tool is just HUGE ! A MUST-HAVE !!
Command line … but very powerful ! ( Note: A minimalist GUI Web interface can be trigger too )
Mount option is incredible, it can replace MountainDuck, Expandrive and so on...
Can't bring up this "minimalist GUI Web interface" that you refer to, on the Linux Mint OS. Any suggestions?

rclone is quite phenomenal - allows you to use onedrive/sharepoint on linux like you can on windows.
Support cross platform support and a wide range of cloud storage services
Yes. With its command line interface, this program is not for everyone. But if you digg into their forum and reddit, you will amazed with its power.
Sometimes I use Rclone to sync to my local server to Google Drive. but Rclone easily saturated my internet connection until i cant do anything.
Combined with Google Cloud Compute, Rclone easily duplicate my Google Drive backup to another services with amazing speed
Hint : you can add Rclone Browser for GUI. But its still not robust as GoodSync
