Rclone -- rsync for cloud storage


I wrote about rsync and file synchronization in this blog almost 8 years ago.  And although the size and diversity of consumer and commercial services have expanded, the fundamental properties are the same.  The venerable rsync algorithm has stood the test of time.  We are still doing basically what Ray Ozzie published in 1974.

Rclone appears to be a fantastic tool for synchronizing your files across devices, commercial services, and file systems.  The diversity of its protocols and supported commercial services is amazing!  I plan to try it for some collections I have on g-drive, one-drive, s3, and devices in my home.
