Rclone is a command line program to manage files on cloud storage. It
is a feature rich alternative to cloud vendors' web storage
interfaces. [Over 40 cloud storage products](#providers) support
rclone including S3 object stores, business & consumer file storage
services, as well as standard transfer protocols.
Rclone is a powerful tool the cloud storage equivalent to the
unix commands rsync, cp, mv, mount, ls, ncdu, tree, rm, and
cat. Rclone's familiar syntax includes shell pipeline support, and
`--dry-run` protection. It can be used at the command line, in scripts
or via its [API](/rc).
