RcloneView vs Duplicati — Cloud Backup Tool Comparison

· 4 min read

Senior Engineer

Duplicati and RcloneView both protect your data in the cloud, but they approach the problem differently. Duplicati creates compressed, encrypted backup archives. RcloneView syncs and manages files in their native format. Here's when to use each.

Duplicati is an open-source backup tool that creates encrypted, deduplicated backups of your local files to cloud storage. RcloneView is a multi-cloud file manager that syncs, transfers, and browses files across 70+ providers. They overlap in cloud backup but diverge in philosophy and capabilities.

Run RcloneView on Unraid — Cloud Backup and Multi-Cloud Sync for Your Server

Unraid is brilliant for local storage. But parity drives don't protect against fires, theft, or ransomware. Add RcloneView to back up your shares to the cloud with a visual file manager.

Unraid is one of the most popular home and small business server platforms. Its parity-based storage protects against drive failures, but local protection isn't enough. For true data safety, you need offsite backups. RcloneView runs as a Docker container on Unraid, adding visual cloud management and automated backup capabilities to your server.

How to Sync Two Google Drive Accounts — Personal and Work Drive Sync with RcloneView

· 3 min read

Senior Engineer

Your personal Google Drive has family photos. Your work Drive has project files. Your university Drive is expiring. Google doesn't let you sync between accounts natively — but RcloneView does.

Almost everyone ends up with multiple Google Drive accounts. A personal Gmail, a Workspace account from work, maybe a school account that's expiring. Google makes it easy to use each account individually, but provides no way to sync or transfer files between them. You end up downloading from one account and uploading to another — manual, slow, and it eats your local storage. RcloneView connects multiple Google Drive accounts simultaneously and transfers directly between them.

Sync Vultr Object Storage with S3, Google Drive, and More Using RcloneView

Vultr Object Storage gives you affordable, S3-compatible cloud storage. But Vultr's dashboard is designed for developers, not file management. RcloneView adds the visual layer.

Vultr is known for its developer-friendly cloud infrastructure, and its Object Storage service offers competitive pricing with S3-compatible APIs. However, managing files in Vultr's web dashboard means navigating an interface designed for API configuration, not file operations. RcloneView connects to Vultr Object Storage via its S3-compatible endpoint, providing a familiar file manager experience.

Cloud Storage for Media and Entertainment Studios — Manage Massive Files Across Clouds with RcloneView

· 3 min read

Senior Engineer

A single VFX project can generate 50 TB of data. Active projects need fast storage, completed projects need affordable archives, and client deliveries need accessible platforms. One cloud can't do it all.

Media and entertainment studios operate at a scale that breaks most file management tools. Individual files routinely exceed 10 GB. Projects generate terabytes of renders, raw footage, and composites. And everything needs to flow between fast working storage, long-term archives, and client-facing delivery platforms. RcloneView provides the multi-cloud management layer that media studios need.

OVH Cloud offers affordable, GDPR-compliant object storage built on OpenStack Swift. But managing containers through the Horizon dashboard feels like infrastructure work, not file management. RcloneView changes that.

OVHcloud's Object Storage is a strong choice for European businesses needing GDPR-compliant, affordable cloud storage. Built on OpenStack Swift, it's reliable and well-priced. The challenge is managing it day-to-day — the Horizon dashboard is designed for infrastructure admins, not for browsing files, syncing to other clouds, or running automated backups. RcloneView provides the visual file management layer that OVH Cloud lacks.

Your organization is switching ecosystems. Thousands of files in Google Drive need to land in OneDrive and SharePoint — intact, organized, and verified. Here's how to do it without the chaos.

Moving from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 is one of the most common enterprise migrations. The challenge isn't the decision — it's the data.

Run RcloneView on TrueNAS for Cloud Backup and Multi-Cloud Sync

TrueNAS gives you rock-solid local storage with ZFS. But local storage alone isn't a backup strategy. Add RcloneView to sync your NAS datasets to the cloud with a visual file manager.

TrueNAS (formerly FreeNAS) is one of the most popular NAS operating systems, trusted for its ZFS-powered data integrity. But ZFS protects against drive failures, not against fires, theft, ransomware, or site-wide disasters. For true data protection, you need offsite backups. RcloneView adds visual cloud management to your TrueNAS setup, making it easy to sync datasets to any of 70+ cloud providers.

Both tools let you manage multiple cloud accounts from one interface. But they differ in provider support, transfer methods, pricing, and advanced features. Here's how they stack up.

Air Explorer is a popular multi-cloud file manager for Windows and macOS. It provides a dual-pane interface for browsing and transferring files between cloud accounts. RcloneView offers a similar experience but with a different underlying architecture (powered by rclone) and broader provider support. Choosing between them depends on your specific workflow needs.
