RcloneOSX

This project is archived and there will be no further development of RcloneOSX.

The project is a adapting RsyncOSX utilizing rclone for synchronizing and backup of files to a number of cloud services. RcloneOSX utilizes rclone copy, sync, move and check commands.

RcloneOSX is compiled with support for macOS El Capitan version 10.11 - macOS Catalina 10.15. The application is implemented in pure Swift 5 (Cocoa and Foundation).

RcloneOSX require the rclone command line utility to be installed. If installed in other directory than /usr/local/bin, please change directory by user configuration in RcloneOSX. RcloneOSX checks if there is a rclone installed in the provided directory. To use RcloneOSX require utilize rclone to setup and add configurations.

Rclone is rsync for cloud storage. Even if rclone and rsync are somewhat equal they are also very different. RcloneOSX is built upon the ideas from RsyncOSX. It is not possible to clone all functions in RsyncOSX to RcloneOSX. I spend most of my time developing RsyncOSX. From time to time some functions are ported to RcloneOSX from RsyncOSX.

I am not an advanced user of rclone and my use of RcloneOSX is synchronizing my GitHub catalogs to Dropbox, Onedrive and Google cloud storage. Rclone has lot more functions than just synchronizing data. Bute there is no plan to implement more functions into RcloneOSX.

Screenshots

Here are some samples of screenshots.

How to start utilizing RcloneOSX

To start utilizing RcloneOSX first of all add configurations by command line rclone config. When RcloneOSX starts it pick up configurations added by rclone. Rclone configurations must be stored in standard configuration catalog e.g. /Users/thomas/.config/rclone and not encrypted.

After adding configurations start RcloneOSX and go to Add tab. Add catalogs and you are ready for synchronizing.

About bugs

Fighting bugs are difficult. I am not able to test RcloneOSX for all possible user interactions and use. From time to time I discover new bugs. But I also need support from other users discovering bugs or not expected results. If you discover a bug please use the issues and report it.
