  • INKY Frame + Raspberry Pi for a simple photo frame -- am I over my head?
    If you do plan to use Dropbox have a look at https://rclone.org/ to get the files to the Pi. Source: 2 days ago
  • Transfer all files from Dropbox to Google Drive / current solution?
    If you don't mind CLI and routing data over your local PC then rclone does such jobs very well for free. You only needed to configure 2 remotes (DB, Goggle) and then do rclone sync DB: GD:. Source: 2 days ago
  • rsync is telling me "The source and destination cannot both be remote."
    You might look at using Rclone. Very likely available at a repository near you. Source: 2 days ago
  • Ask HN: Experience using your user's Google Drive instead of a database?
    Https://rclone.org is a very effective storage shim. You'd still want to limit supported backends to provide a smooth UX. There are binaries for the major OSs (including BSDs, Plan9, and Solaris). They have Android builds but they are not first class (yet). Unfortunately I do not see any support for iOS. - Source: Hacker News / 2 days ago
  • Configuring Pikapod to steam from Cloudflare
    I have not tried it, but my best guess would be to use something like rclone and remote mount Backblaze B2 as a local drive on a VM. I am considering to do the same actually once I get some free time. :). Source: about 1 month ago
  • Spacedrive: Unify files from all your devices and clouds into one easy explorer
    What is the advantage of using Spacedrive over mounting the network disk with rclone (https://rclone.org/) and using any other file explorer? - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago
  • Does Koofr offer zero knowledge encryption out of the box?
    "It is compatible with rclone. This means that you can download your encrypted files and decrypt them locally using the rclone command-line tool.". Source: about 2 months ago
  • iCloud Drive silently deletes your content
    I use multiple cloud storage services for redundancy than periodically rsync from cloud storage to a local device for private, local backup using rclone[1] Iโ€™m sure there are downsides but I like the benefit of passive image backup and periodic sync. 1 - https://rclone.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago
  • Ask HN: Any Encrypted Notes Backup?
    Have you checked out rclone? Local encryption, targets almost any cloud storage provider, and open source. Syncthing might also be part of a solution to this with the Untrusted Devices feature [1]. 0: https://rclone.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
  • Gcsfuse: A user-space file system for interacting with Google Cloud Storage
    Why not rclone? It was discussed here yesterday as a replacement for sshfs - and supports GCS as well as dozens more backends. https://rclone.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
  • The Proton Drive Windows app is out!
    It's better not to start developing applications for Linux at all (because you have shown many times that this OS is not important to you), just make a decent and documented API. Then all linux people will just use Rclone. Source: 5 months ago
  • Should I Upgrade my Synology DS920+
    I highly recommend checking out rclone.org its game changing. I am able to mount my Cloud storage as a Physical Drive so Plex can directly stream content seammlessly. Regarding the cost lets just say its heavily discounted because of my Job. Source: 5 months ago
  • Cloud backup
    I can't find anything other than using rclone through Termux, which looks like it can sync to NextCloud. Nearly all threads default to Syncthing, which is device-to-device. Readers, please comment if you know of something else. Source: 5 months ago

    Agreed, Rclone can do the trick. https://rclone.org/. Source: 5 months ago

  • PBS in a VM.
    Not a problem as long as you use something like rclone to sync it to an offsite (out of the house) backup. Backblaze b2 is a good option. Source: 6 months ago
