Rclone 1.71.0 has been released, continuing its legacy as a robust Command Line tool for synchronizing files and directories across various cloud storage services and local systems. This versatile application stands out for its ability to facilitate seamless transfers, backups, and syncing between local storage and numerous cloud platforms, including well-known services like Google Drive, Dropbox, and Amazon S3. With over 70 supported cloud storage options, including both consumer and business solutions, Rclone provides a comprehensive alternative to traditional web interfaces.

One of Rclone's notable advantages is its incorporation of functionalities similar to familiar Unix commands, allowing users to manage files efficiently in a way that mirrors traditional file operations. It supports commands akin to rsync for synchronization, cp for copying, mv for moving, and includes features like ls for directory listings, rm for file removal, and cat for file content display. The user-friendly syntax and support for shell pipelines enhance its usability, allowing for streamlined file processing.

To ensure safe operations, Rclone offers a dry-run feature, permitting users to preview actions before execution. This flexibility makes Rclone suitable for both casual users and professionals who wish to automate file management tasks through command-line execution, scripting, or API access.

Additionally, Rclone boasts several advanced features, including the ability to verify file integrity using MD5/SHA1 hashes, preserve timestamps, and perform partial syncs. Users can employ various modes such as copy mode for new/changed files and one-way sync to maintain identical directories. The tool also supports encryption, multi-threaded downloads, and can serve files over multiple protocols, including HTTP, FTP, and SFTP.

In summary, Rclone is an essential tool for anyone seeking to efficiently manage their cloud storage and local files, empowering users with powerful command-line capabilities to enhance their workflow.

- Support for a wide range of cloud services, including but not limited to: Alibaba Cloud, Backblaze B2, IBM COS S3, and pCloud.
- Built-in features for file integrity checks and timestamps preservation.
- Optional support for FUSE mounts, allowing remote file systems to be treated as local.
- Experimental web-based graphical user interfaces for easier management.
