What is Rclone?
Rclone manages files on cloud services such as Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox and Amazon S3. Use it to copy changed files, mirror a folder to a remote destination, or transfer data between supported storage providers. Its command-line interface also fits scripts, while the optional rclone gui command opens a browser-based dashboard for remotes, mounts and transfers.
The Windows download is a ZIP archive containing the portable rclone.exe executable, rather than a graphical installer. Extract it and run rclone.exe config from Command Prompt or PowerShell to configure storage connections. Windows cloud-drive mounting requires the separate WinFsp utility.
Choose sync deliberately: it makes the destination match the source and can delete destination files. Preview changes with --dry-run, or use copy when destination-only files must stay. The screenshot illustrates the cross-platform Web GUI from the publisher repository; its About panel shows a macOS ARM64 beta session, not this Windows release.
What it offers

Good to know
