Rclone – Sync files and directories to many cloud storage providers

Re:Rclone – Sync files and directories to many cloud storage... by aasasd on Monday April 06, 2020 @04:26AM (#22791822)

There's a similar-ish project called Cryptomator, which encrypts files before storing them at cloud providers. Alas it's only open-source on desktop but not Android.

Web search shows that a bunch of Android clients exist for Rclone: the project's wiki points to ‘RCX’. will have to try it and see.

I dream occasionally of an encrypted file-level-Raid-5 made from free storage that the services have already bestowed on me.

There's actually an issue[1] open for implementing Cryptomator encryption support in Rclone.

I use Rclone on my Android device through Termux[2] which works pretty well. Termux includes Rclone in its repo[3]. I just set it up to `serve webdav` then access it through my file browser app which includes WebDAV support.

RCX developer here.

I've thought about including Cryptomator support in the app by reusing the java libaries, but licensing issues make that hard. Support in rclone itself would be really great.

BTW: RCX exposes serve as well, and will get Storage Access Framework (SAF) support in the near future. When it works, SAF seems like magic.[1]

I also have this RAID idea, because the free offers are a marketing tool, and providers have no problem shutting off rclone access even for paying customers (happened with Amazon Cloud Drive, Yandex Disk).

There is currently a beta of new remote type "multiwrite union" (RAID-1 style). But for RAID-5, storage is just too cheap - some providers are as low as $5/TB-month.

Well, if I can have several different mirror-bunches set up, that would probably do the job nicely while being easier to implement =)

Re Android: rclone is in termux's repos.
