Run RcloneView on OpenMediaVault — Cloud Backup for Your DIY NAS

· 2 min read

OpenMediaVault (OMV) gives you a powerful NAS on budget hardware. But local storage alone isn't safe. Add RcloneView to push your NAS data to the cloud for disaster recovery.

OpenMediaVault is the go-to NAS OS for DIY builders — run it on an old PC, a Raspberry Pi, or purpose-built hardware. It provides RAID, SMB/NFS sharing, and a web interface. What it doesn't provide is cloud backup. RcloneView fills that gap, running as a Docker container on OMV and syncing your shares to any of 70+ cloud providers.

RaiDrive mounts clouds as Windows drives for free. RcloneView does that plus sync, scheduling, verification, and 70+ providers on every platform. Here's the full comparison.

RaiDrive is a popular Windows tool that mounts cloud storage as local drive letters. It makes Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, and other clouds appear as native Windows drives. RcloneView offers mounting plus a comprehensive suite of cloud management features including sync, scheduling, folder comparison, and encryption — on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Sync OneDrive to AWS S3 — Enterprise Cloud-to-Cloud Backup with RcloneView

· 2 min read

Senior Engineer

Microsoft 365 doesn't include true backup. Deleted files, ransomware, or admin errors can permanently destroy OneDrive data. S3 backup provides the independent copy you need.

Microsoft 365's retention policies are not backups. Deleted items go to the recycle bin for 93 days, then they're gone. Ransomware can encrypt files that sync across all devices. Admin errors can wipe entire team sites. An independent backup on AWS S3 — outside the Microsoft ecosystem — provides genuine data protection.

Union Remote — Combine Multiple Free Cloud Accounts into One Giant Storage Pool with RcloneView

15 GB from Google. 5 GB from OneDrive. 2 GB from Dropbox. 1 TB from Terabox. Individually they're small. Combined into a union remote, they're a free multi-terabyte storage pool.

Most cloud providers offer free storage tiers, but individually they're too small for serious use. Rclone's union remote merges multiple storage locations into a single virtual filesystem. RcloneView lets you set this up visually and then browse, sync, and manage the combined pool as if it were one giant drive.

Chunker Remote — Split Large Files for Cloud Providers with Size Limits in RcloneView

· 3 min read
Tayson
Senior Engineer

Your video file is 15 GB. Your cloud provider's upload limit is 5 GB. Instead of re-encoding the video or finding another provider, the chunker remote splits it automatically.

Some cloud storage providers impose maximum file size limits. Google Drive caps at 5 TB (rarely an issue), but other providers — especially free tiers, WebDAV endpoints, and some S3-compatible services — have much lower limits. Rclone's chunker remote solves this by transparently splitting large files into chunks for upload and reassembling them on download.

Cloud Sync with ISP Data Caps — Manage Bandwidth and Avoid Overages with RcloneView

· 3 min read

Senior Engineer

Your ISP allows 1 TB per month. Your first cloud backup is 800 GB. If you're not careful, one sync job will eat your entire data cap and trigger overage charges.

Many internet providers impose monthly data caps — 1 TB is common, sometimes less. Cloud sync and backup jobs can consume significant bandwidth, especially during initial uploads or large migrations. RcloneView provides the controls you need: bandwidth limiting, scheduling, and incremental sync to keep your cloud workflows running without blowing through your data cap.

Cloud Storage for Researchers — Manage Datasets, Publications, and Lab Data with RcloneView

· 3 min read

Senior Engineer

Your university gives you Google Workspace. Your grant requires data on S3. Your collaborators use Dropbox. Your datasets are on an HPC cluster via SFTP. Sound like your workflow?

Academic research generates data across more platforms than almost any other field. Institutional storage, personal cloud accounts, grant-funded infrastructure, collaboration tools, and HPC clusters all accumulate research data that needs to be accessible, backed up, and eventually archived. RcloneView connects all of these into a single manageable interface.

Fix Cloud Sync Conflicts from Multiple Devices — Resolve File Version Clashes in RcloneView

· 3 min read

Senior Engineer

You edited a file on your laptop. Your colleague edited the same file on their desktop. The sync runs and now you have two versions. Which one wins? How do you prevent this?

Sync conflicts are an inevitable part of multi-device, multi-user cloud workflows. When the same file is modified in two places between sync runs, the sync tool must decide which version to keep. Understanding how RcloneView handles conflicts — and how to prevent them — saves hours of confusion and lost work.

Connect Any SFTP Server to RcloneView — Sync Remote Servers with Cloud Storage

· 2 min read

Senior Engineer

Every Linux server, VPS, and web host speaks SFTP. RcloneView turns any SFTP endpoint into a manageable remote you can browse, sync to cloud storage, and back up on a schedule.

SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) is the universal protocol for secure file access on remote servers. Whether it's a web server, a development box, a VPS, or a dedicated server, SFTP is almost always available. RcloneView connects to any SFTP server and places it alongside your cloud accounts — browse server files visually, sync to S3 or Google Drive, and schedule automated backups.

Manage Uptobox Files — Organize and Sync to Google Drive, S3, and More with RcloneView

· 2 min read

Senior Engineer

Uptobox is popular for file hosting, but managing files beyond basic upload and download is limited. RcloneView connects to Uptobox and integrates it into your multi-cloud workflow.

Uptobox provides file hosting with generous storage quotas, but its management tools are basic — upload, download, share links. There's no built-in way to sync Uptobox with other cloud providers, schedule backups, or organize files across platforms. RcloneView connects to Uptobox and places it alongside Google Drive, S3, OneDrive, and 70+ other providers.
