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.

A corrupted rclone config file can make all your cloud remotes disappear. This guide explains why it happens, how to recover, and how to prevent it from happening again.

Your rclone configuration file (rclone.conf) stores every remote you have set up — cloud credentials, tokens, encryption keys, and connection settings. If this file becomes corrupted, you lose access to all configured remotes until you repair or recreate them. RcloneView reads and writes the same config file that the rclone CLI uses, so corruption affects both tools equally. Here is how to diagnose and fix the problem.

Rclone is one of the most powerful cloud storage tools ever built. It's also one of the most complex. RcloneView keeps all that power and wraps it in a visual interface. But is the GUI right for you?

Rclone supports 70+ cloud providers, handles encryption, mounting, syncing, and more. Its command-line interface is incredibly flexible — if you know the commands. RcloneView is a desktop application built on top of rclone that provides a graphical interface for the same operations. Here's how they compare and when you'd choose one over the other.

Syncing everything is wasteful. Syncing the wrong things is dangerous. Rclone's filter rules let you precisely control what gets transferred — but the syntax can be confusing. This guide breaks it all down with practical examples.

When you sync or copy files between clouds, you rarely want everything. Maybe you need only .pdf files, or everything except .tmp files, or files modified in the last 7 days, or files under 100 MB. Rclone's filter system handles all of this — and RcloneView lets you configure these filters visually in your job settings.
