Discover exactly where your cloud storage space is going with rclone's powerful NCDU tool, accessible directly through RcloneView's integrated terminal.

Cloud storage costs can creep up silently. A forgotten backup folder here, a batch of uncompressed video files there, and suddenly you are paying for terabytes of storage you did not realize you were using. Rclone includes a built-in NCDU (NCurses Disk Usage) tool that scans your remote storage and presents an interactive, navigable breakdown of directory sizes. Through RcloneView's integrated terminal and file explorer, you can run ncdu scans, identify space-consuming files and folders, and take immediate action to reclaim storage. This guide covers everything from basic scans to advanced analysis workflows across multiple cloud providers.

Unlock programmatic control over your cloud storage operations using rclone's built-in RC API, integrated seamlessly with RcloneView.

Rclone ships with a powerful REST API called the RC (Remote Control) interface. This API exposes nearly every rclone operation as an HTTP endpoint, allowing you to start transfers, monitor progress, manage mounts, and query statistics from any programming language or automation tool. RcloneView leverages this same RC API under the hood for its GUI operations, which means anything you can do in the interface can also be done programmatically. This guide covers the RC API from first principles through advanced automation, giving you the knowledge to build custom integrations, monitoring dashboards, and automated workflows around your cloud storage operations.

RcloneView handles the common cases automatically, but rclone's real power is in its flags. Knowing which ones to add -- and where -- can cut transfer times in half or solve stubborn edge cases.

Rclone has hundreds of command-line flags that control everything from transfer parallelism to checksum behavior to retry logic. RcloneView provides a clean interface for the most common operations, but it also lets you inject custom flags into any job for situations where defaults are not enough. This guide covers the most useful flags, when to use them, and how to configure them in RcloneView.

Run every rclone command without leaving RcloneView. The new Terminal brings autocomplete, copyable logs, and full-screen output into the same window you use to browse, compare, and sync.

RcloneView now includes a built-in Terminal so you can run the full rclone CLI inside the app -- no extra CMD, PowerShell, or Terminal window. Beginners can learn commands with visual context, while engineers, power users, and IT admins keep their automation flags, verbose logs, and scripting flow without context switching.
