Rclone helps Windows users back up, transfer, and organize files stored on a computer or in cloud accounts. It suits people who regularly move data between storage services or keep remote copies of local folders. The program runs from the command line rather than a built-in graphical window, so routine jobs can be saved in scripts or run through a task scheduler.
Manage files across different cloud accounts with commands that can be reused in scheduled tasks.
After configuring an account, users can copy files, synchronize folders, inspect remote storage, or access a cloud folder through a Windows drive letter. Transfers can skip unchanged data, and settings allow file encryption before upload and limits on transfer speed. Support for numerous storage services lets users apply similar commands to different accounts, including object storage and cloud drives.
Features:
- Copy files between local and cloud folders
- Synchronize folders across configured storage accounts
- Assign a Windows drive letter to cloud storage
- Encrypt files before cloud uploads
- Limit bandwidth used by file transfers
- Run backup commands through scheduled scripts
