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.
