· 2 min read

Entire departments of files on OneDrive for Business need to land on Google Shared Drives. Manual download-upload is impossible at scale. RcloneView handles it visually, in batches, with verification.

Enterprise migrations between OneDrive for Business and Google Shared Drives are increasingly common as organizations consolidate platforms. The scale is the challenge — hundreds of users, terabytes of data, and the need for zero data loss. RcloneView connects both platforms natively and provides the tools for controlled, verified migration.

Run RcloneView on ChromeOS — Cloud Sync on Your Chromebook via Linux

Senior Engineer

Chromebooks are great for Google Drive. But what about OneDrive, S3, Dropbox, or your NAS? ChromeOS's Linux support lets you run RcloneView for full multi-cloud management on your Chromebook.

Chromebooks are built around Google Drive, but many users need access to other cloud providers. Students might have OneDrive from school, professionals need S3 access, and anyone switching from another platform has files elsewhere. ChromeOS's Linux (Crostini) environment lets you install RcloneView and manage all your cloud accounts from your Chromebook.

RcloneView vs Resilio Sync — P2P vs Cloud File Sync Comparison

· 3 min read

Senior Engineer

Resilio Sync transfers files directly between your devices — no cloud server involved. RcloneView manages files across 70+ cloud providers. They're solving different problems, but overlap in file synchronization.

Resilio Sync (formerly BitTorrent Sync) uses peer-to-peer technology to sync files directly between devices. No cloud storage is involved — files travel from device to device over the network. RcloneView takes the opposite approach: it connects to cloud storage providers and manages files in the cloud. Understanding the difference helps you pick the right tool — or use both.

Sync Google Drive to Backblaze B2 — Affordable Cloud-to-Cloud Backup with RcloneView

· 2 min read

Senior Engineer

Google Drive stores your work. Backblaze B2 protects it at $6/TB/month. Together, they form one of the most cost-effective cloud backup strategies available.

Google Drive is where your files live day-to-day. But Google Drive alone isn't a backup — accidental deletions, account compromises, and sync errors can destroy data that Google won't recover. Backblaze B2 at $6/TB/month provides the safety net: an independent copy of everything, updated automatically by RcloneView.

Archive Google Drive Files to S3 Glacier — Long-Term Storage at 90% Lower Cost with RcloneView

· 3 min read

Senior Engineer

You're paying $10/month for 2 TB of Google Drive, but 80% of those files haven't been opened in a year. Move them to S3 Glacier for $1/TB/month and cut your storage bill dramatically.

Google Drive pricing is designed for active files — documents you open daily, files you share with colleagues. But most Google Drive accounts accumulate years of files that are never accessed: old project folders, completed work, archived photos, outdated documents. These files sit on expensive storage when they could be on S3 Glacier at a fraction of the cost.

Cloud Storage for Construction — Manage Blueprints, Site Photos, and Project Files with RcloneView

· 3 min read

Senior Engineer

A construction project generates thousands of files — blueprints, permits, site photos, contracts, change orders, safety reports. They end up on job-site tablets, office servers, and multiple cloud accounts. One tool to manage them all.

Construction projects are inherently multi-location: the office stores contracts and blueprints, the job site generates daily photos and inspection reports, subcontractors share documents through their own platforms, and clients want access to progress updates. RcloneView connects all these file sources into a single, manageable workspace.

Compress Remote — Reduce Cloud Backup Size Automatically in RcloneView

· 3 min read

Senior Engineer

Your 500 GB backup could be 300 GB with compression. The compress remote wraps any cloud provider with automatic gzip compression — smaller backups, lower costs, same data.

Cloud storage costs scale with size. If you can reduce the size of your backups by 30-60%, you save that much on storage bills every month. Rclone's compress remote provides transparent compression — files are compressed before upload and decompressed on download, with no manual steps required. RcloneView lets you set this up visually and manage compressed backups alongside your other cloud accounts.

Find Unused Files Wasting Cloud Storage — Reduce Costs with a Storage Audit in RcloneView

· 3 min read

Senior Engineer

You're paying for 5 TB across three cloud providers. How much of that is actually needed? For most users, 30-50% of cloud storage is occupied by files they'll never access again.

Cloud storage bills grow gradually. A few extra gigabytes here, a forgotten backup there, and suddenly you're spending hundreds per year on data nobody uses. The problem isn't the price per gigabyte — it's the invisible accumulation. RcloneView helps you see exactly what's in each account and make informed decisions about what stays and what goes.

Fix Cloud Sync Stuck at 99% or Hanging — Troubleshooting Stalled Transfers in RcloneView

· 3 min read

The progress bar says 99%. It's been saying 99% for 45 minutes. Is it working? Is it stuck? Should you cancel? Here's how to diagnose and fix stalled cloud transfers.

Stalled cloud transfers are one of the most frustrating issues in cloud sync. The job appears to be running, the progress indicator barely moves, and you're unsure whether to wait or restart. The good news: stalled transfers almost always have a specific, fixable cause.

Manage SMB/CIFS Network Shares — Sync Office File Servers to Cloud with RcloneView

· 2 min read
Tayson
Senior Engineer

Your company's file server has been running for years. Everyone accesses it via mapped network drives. But it has no offsite backup, and remote workers can't reach it from home. Cloud sync solves both problems.

SMB/CIFS (Server Message Block / Common Internet File System) is the protocol behind every Windows shared folder, NAS file share, and office file server. It's reliable and fast on local networks, but it wasn't designed for cloud integration or remote access. RcloneView bridges that gap — connect your SMB shares and sync them to any cloud provider for backup, remote access, and disaster recovery.
