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.

Copying files to the cloud is only half the job. Verifying that every byte arrived intact is what separates a reliable workflow from a hopeful one.

Moving terabytes across providers, running nightly backups, or archiving important datasets all share a common risk: silent corruption. A file can appear present in the destination yet differ from the source due to interrupted transfers, provider-side bugs, or plain bit rot over time. Rclone provides a dedicated check command that compares source and destination file by file, and RcloneView makes that process visual and accessible. This guide explains when and how to verify your cloud files.

Before you can optimize cloud costs, you need to see exactly where your storage is going. RcloneView puts usage data and quota information for every connected remote in one place.

Most cloud storage costs are driven by volume. Whether you pay per gigabyte on S3, stay within a free tier on Google Drive, or share a team quota on OneDrive, knowing how much space each remote consumes is essential for cost control and capacity planning. Rclone's about command queries a provider's API for total, used, free, and trashed space. RcloneView surfaces this information visually so you can monitor all your remotes without switching between provider dashboards.

Transfer failures frustrate users, but mysterious error messages frustrate them more. RcloneView's comprehensive logging and debug features reveal exactly what went wrong and how to fix it.

A file transfer stops midway with a cryptic timeout message. A sync job reports success but files remain out of sync. Your scheduled backup missed its window silently. Without visibility into what actually happened, troubleshooting becomes guesswork. RcloneView's logging and debug capabilities transform opacity into clarity, showing you exactly which files succeeded, which failed, and precisely why.

You scheduled a backup last week. Did it actually run? Did it complete successfully? How many files were transferred? Without job history, you're guessing. With RcloneView, every job leaves a trail.

Setting up cloud sync is the first step. Knowing it works reliably is the second — and arguably more important. RcloneView's job history tracks every execution: when it ran, how long it took, how many files transferred, and whether errors occurred.
