Cloud Storage for Music Production — Manage Sessions, Stems, and Backups with RcloneView

· 3 min read

A single DAW session can be 10 GB. Multiply that by years of projects, add sample libraries and stem exports, and you're looking at terabytes of audio data that needs protection. Local drives fail. Cloud backup doesn't.

Music production generates massive amounts of data that's irreplaceable — original recordings, mix sessions, stem exports, and curated sample libraries built up over years. Most producers rely on local drives, which means one hardware failure can destroy a career's worth of work. Cloud backup solves this, but managing large audio files across cloud providers requires the right tools.

Audit Your Cloud Storage — Find Misplaced Files, Wrong Permissions, and Data Sprawl with RcloneView

· 3 min read

You have files in Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, S3, and that Backblaze account you set up two years ago. Do you actually know what's in each one? A cloud storage audit reveals surprises — and usually saves money.

Cloud storage accumulates silently. Free tiers fill up, trial accounts get forgotten, shared folders multiply, and before long you're paying for storage across five providers without knowing what's where. A regular audit — browsing each account, comparing contents, cleaning up duplicates — keeps your cloud organized and your costs under control.

Connect Any WebDAV Server to RcloneView — Sync with Google Drive, S3, and 70+ Clouds

WebDAV is everywhere — Synology, QNAP, Nextcloud, ownCloud, Box, pCloud, and dozens of other services support it. RcloneView turns any WebDAV endpoint into a first-class cloud remote you can browse, sync, and back up.

WebDAV (Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning) is one of the most widely supported file access protocols. NAS devices expose it, self-hosted cloud apps use it, and many commercial services offer it as an access method. RcloneView connects to any WebDAV endpoint, placing it alongside Google Drive, S3, OneDrive, and every other supported provider in the two-pane explorer.

How to Handle Cloud Provider Outages — Keep Working When Your Cloud Goes Down

· 3 min read
Tayson
Senior Engineer

Google Drive went down. Your team can't access project files. Work stops. But it didn't have to — if you had a multi-cloud failover strategy in place.

Every major cloud provider has outages. Google, Microsoft, AWS, Dropbox — they all go down eventually. The question isn't whether it will happen, but whether you're prepared when it does. A multi-cloud strategy with RcloneView means your files exist in multiple places, and an outage on one provider doesn't stop your work.

Manage Ceph Object Storage with RcloneView — S3-Compatible GUI for Your Ceph Cluster

· 2 min read

Senior Engineer

Ceph powers some of the world's largest storage clusters. But browsing buckets, syncing to external clouds, or verifying data usually means CLI tools and scripts. RcloneView provides the visual layer Ceph administrators have been missing.

Ceph is the go-to distributed storage system for enterprises, research institutions, and cloud providers. Its RADOS Gateway (RGW) exposes an S3-compatible API, which means RcloneView can connect directly to your Ceph cluster and provide a full visual file management experience — browsing buckets, transferring data to external clouds, scheduling backups, and verifying integrity.

Migrate SharePoint to Google Drive — Transfer Document Libraries with RcloneView

· 2 min read

Senior Engineer

Your organization is moving from Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace. SharePoint libraries, OneDrive personal files, and years of team documents all need to land in Google Drive intact. Here's how.

Migrating from SharePoint to Google Drive is the reverse of one of the most common enterprise cloud migrations. Whether driven by cost, platform preference, or organizational change, the challenge is the same: thousands of files in structured document libraries need to transfer cleanly to Google Drive and Shared Drives. RcloneView handles both sides natively.

RcloneView vs Mountain Duck — Cloud Storage Mount and Transfer Comparison

· 3 min read

Senior Engineer

Mountain Duck focuses on mounting cloud storage as local drives. RcloneView does that plus multi-cloud management, sync, transfer, and automation. Here's how they compare.

Mountain Duck (from the makers of Cyberduck) specializes in mounting cloud storage as local drives on Windows and macOS. It integrates tightly with the OS file manager, making cloud files appear as local folders. RcloneView takes a broader approach — mounting is one of many capabilities alongside multi-cloud browsing, sync, migration, scheduling, and verification.

Remote Management Guide — Add, Edit, and Organize Cloud Connections in RcloneView

· 3 min read
Tayson
Senior Engineer

Your first remote takes 2 minutes to set up. Your 15th needs a system. Here's how to manage all your cloud connections efficiently as your multi-cloud setup grows.

Every cloud provider in RcloneView starts as a "remote" — a named connection with credentials and configuration. When you have two or three remotes, management is simple. But as you add more providers (and many users end up with 10+), keeping them organized becomes essential. This guide covers everything from adding your first remote to managing a complex multi-cloud setup.

Sync Dropbox to AWS S3 for Backup — Automated Cloud-to-Cloud Protection with RcloneView

· 3 min read
Tayson
Senior Engineer

Dropbox syncs your files. It doesn't back them up. If someone deletes a shared folder, Dropbox dutifully syncs that deletion everywhere. A separate backup on S3 protects against exactly this.

Many people confuse sync with backup. Dropbox is a sync service — changes propagate to all connected devices, including deletions and overwrites. A true backup is an independent copy that doesn't change when the source does. AWS S3 is ideal for this: durable, versioned, and cost-effective. RcloneView automates the Dropbox-to-S3 backup pipeline.
