Rclone is a command-line data movement and sync tool for copying, archiving, or migrating scraped datasets across cloud storage providers.
Key Features:
- Universal Compatibility - Sync to S3, Google Cloud, Azure, Dropbox, and dozens more with a single tool.
- Familiar CLI - Unix-style commands like sync, copy, mount, and ls make adoption effortless.
- Encryption - Encrypt scraped data at rest on any cloud provider with built-in crypto.
- Bandwidth Control - Throttle transfers and resume interrupted uploads over unreliable connections.
- Mount as Disk - Mount any cloud storage as a local filesystem on Windows, macOS, or Linux.
Use Rclone when scraped datasets need to move between storage systems, archives, or local mounts. It is transfer and sync tooling, not an object storage backend.
