It is +a feature rich alternative to cloud vendor's web storage +interfaces. [Over 40 cloud storage products](#providers) are supported +by rclone including S3 object stores, business & consumer file storage +services, as well as standard transfer protocols. + +Rclone is a powerful tool being the cloud storage equivalent 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 can be used at the command line, in scripts +or via its [API](/rc). + +Rclone really cares about your data. It preserves your timestamps and +verifies your data at all times. Transfers over limited bandwidth; +intermittent connections, or subject to quota can be restarted, from +the last good file transferred. You can +[check](/commands/rclone_check/) the integrity of your files. Where +possible, rclone employs server side transfers to minimise local +bandwidth use and can transfer from one provider to another without +using your local disk. + +Virtual backends can wrap local and cloud file systems to apply +[encryption](/crypt/), +[caching](/cache/), +[chunking](/chunker/) and +[joining](/union/). + +Rclone can [mount](/commands/rclone_mount/) any local, cloud or +virtual filesystem so it will appear as a local disk on your Windows, +macOS, linux or FreeBSD computer. Rclone can also serve these over +[SFTP](/commands/rclone_serve_sftp/), +[HTTP](/commands/rclone_serve_http/), +[WebDAV](/commands/rclone_serve_webdav/), +[FTP](/commands/rclone_serve_ftp/) and +[DLNA](/commands/rclone_serve_dlna/). + +Rclone is mature, open source software originally inspired by +rsync. It is written in [Go](https://golang.org) and is energetically +maintained, and supported by a welcoming community with a wide +experience of varied use cases. Official repos such as Ubuntu, Debian, +Brew, Chocolatey include rclone. For the latest version [download from +rclone.org](/downloads/) is recommended. + +Rclone is widely used on Linux, Windows and Mac. Third party +developers have built innovative backup, restore, GUI and business +process solutions using the rclone command line or API. + +Let rclone do the heavy lifting of communicating with cloud cloud +storage so you can concentrate on your problems. + +## What is rclone for {#what} + +Rclone is great for:- + +- Backup and encryption of files to cloud storage +- Restore and decryption of files from cloud storage +- Mirroring cloud data to other cloud services or locally +- Migration of data to cloud, or between cloud storage vendors +- Mounting multiple, encrypted, cached or diverse cloud storage +- Union file systems presenting multiple local and/or cloud file systems +- Analysing file data held on cloud storage + +## Features {#features} + +- On all transfers + - MD5, SHA1 hashes checked at all times for file integrity + - Timestamps preserved on files + - Operations can be restarted at any time + - Can sync to and from network, eg two different cloud accounts + - multi-threaded downloads to local disk +- [Copy](/commands/rclone_copy/) new or changed files to cloud storage +- [Sync](/commands/rclone_sync/) (one way) to make a directory identical +- [Move](/commands/rclone_move/) move files to cloud storage deleting the local after verification +- [Check](/commands/rclone_check/) check hashes and for missing/extra files +- [Mount](/commands/rclone_mount/) your cloud storage as a network disk +- [Serve](/commands/rclone_serve/) local or remote files over [HTTP](/commands/rclone_serve_http/)/[WebDav](/commands/rclone_serve_webdav/)/[FTP](/commands/rclone_serve_ftp/)/[SFTP](/commands/rclone_serve_sftp/)/[dlna](/commands/rclone_serve_dlna/) +- Experimental [Web based GUI](/gui/) + +## Supported providers {#providers} + +Here is a list of providers that rclone supports.
