Rclonerclone.orgRclone is a command-line program to manage files on cloud storage, offering a feature-rich alternative to cloud storage interfaces vendors provide. It supports over 70 cloud storage products and standard transfer protocols, acts like a portability tool with rsync-like commands, and can backup, restore, mirror, migrate, and synchronize data across cloud services or locally with integrity checks and resumable transfers. Rclone can mount any local, cloud, or virtual filesystem as a disk on Windows, macOS, Linux and FreeBSD, and can serve it over SFTP, HTTP, WebDAV, FTP, or DLNA; it is mature open-source software written in Go.
