Run RcloneView on AWS EC2 for Server-Side Cloud Sync

· 6 min read
Tayson
Senior Engineer

Running RcloneView on an AWS EC2 instance gives you server-grade bandwidth for cloud transfers, 24/7 operation for scheduled jobs, and eliminates the need to route data through your local machine.

When migrating terabytes between cloud providers, your local internet connection becomes the bottleneck. An AWS EC2 instance with gigabit networking can transfer data between cloud services at speeds your home or office connection cannot match. Running RcloneView on EC2 also means transfers continue 24/7 without keeping a local machine running, and data moving between S3 and other AWS services stays within Amazon's network — often at no egress cost.

Install and Use RcloneView on Linux Mint for Cloud Sync

Linux Mint is one of the most popular desktop Linux distributions, but it lacks built-in cloud storage integration beyond basic Nemo file manager plugins — RcloneView fills that gap with full multi-cloud support.

Linux Mint ships with excellent desktop tools — Nemo file manager, Timeshift for system backups, and a polished Cinnamon (or MATE/Xfce) desktop. However, cloud storage integration is minimal. There is no native Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox client from the system. While third-party solutions exist (Insync, rclone CLI, GNOME Online Accounts on MATE), none provide a comprehensive multi-cloud GUI. RcloneView runs natively on Linux Mint across all editions and connects to 70+ cloud providers.

Use RcloneView with TerraMaster NAS for Cloud Backup and Sync

· 6 min read

Senior Engineer

TerraMaster NAS devices offer affordable network storage, but their built-in cloud backup options are limited — RcloneView extends your TerraMaster with multi-cloud backup, sync, and file management through a visual GUI.

TerraMaster manufactures popular NAS devices running TOS (TerraMaster Operating System). While TOS includes basic cloud sync features for a few providers, it does not support the full range of cloud storage services that businesses and power users need. RcloneView connects to your TerraMaster NAS via SFTP or SMB and bridges it to 70+ cloud providers — enabling automated backups, cloud-to-NAS sync, and cross-cloud file management.

Run RcloneView on NixOS for Cloud Sync and Backup

· 6 min read

Senior Engineer

NixOS offers a unique declarative approach to system configuration, but running third-party GUI applications requires a few extra steps. RcloneView works smoothly on NixOS once you set up AppImage support and FUSE, giving you a powerful visual cloud manager on one of Linux's most reproducible distributions.

NixOS is a Linux distribution built around the Nix package manager and a fully declarative configuration model. Instead of installing packages imperatively, you define your entire system state in a configuration file and rebuild. This approach makes systems reproducible, rollback-friendly, and ideal for developers and power users who want complete control over their environment.

However, NixOS's unconventional filesystem layout (no /lib, no /usr/lib, no traditional FHS) means that standard Linux binaries, including AppImages, do not run out of the box. RcloneView is distributed as an AppImage for Linux, so you need to enable AppImage compatibility on NixOS before launching it.

This guide walks through the entire process: installing rclone, enabling AppImage support, running RcloneView, configuring FUSE for cloud mounts, and setting up automated sync as a systemd service.

Use RcloneView on Steam Deck for Cloud Storage and Game Backup

· 10 min read
Tayson
Senior Engineer

The Steam Deck packs a full PC into a handheld — but its 64 GB, 256 GB, or 512 GB SSD fills up fast. Cloud storage turns your Deck into a device with virtually unlimited capacity for game backups, screenshots, recordings, and more.

Valve's Steam Deck runs SteamOS, an Arch-based Linux distribution with a custom KDE Plasma desktop mode. While Steam's built-in cloud save feature handles some games, it does not cover non-Steam titles, emulated games, mod configurations, shader caches, or the screenshots and gameplay recordings that accumulate over time. The limited SSD means storage management is a constant concern. RcloneView gives Steam Deck users a graphical multi-cloud file manager to back up game saves to Google Drive, OneDrive, or S3, sync screenshots and recordings to cloud storage, and offload large files to free up space on the internal drive. This guide covers installation in Desktop Mode, cloud remote configuration, and practical workflows for keeping your Steam Deck data safe and your storage lean.
