<a href="https://rclone.org" target="_blank">Rclone</a> (rsync for cloud storage) is a command line program to sync files and directories (and so much more!) to and from different cloud storage providers. Rclone supports over 40 different cloud providers from consumer (Google Drive, Dropbox) to enterprise (Box), to cloud native (S3, Azure Blob, Openstack Swift, Google Cloud Storage) to standardized (SFTP, WebDAV, FTP, HTTP). Not only can rclone sync files it can also mount any of the storage backends as a network attached disk on Windows, macOS, Linux and FreeBSD. It can also serve any of the backends (including local disk) over SFTP, WebDAV, FTP, HTTP. Users have called it "The swiss army knife of cloud storage"&nbsp;and "Technology indistinguishable from magic". What are the funds for Maintaining rclone is a lot of work - easily a **full time job**. Nothing stands still in the world of cloud storage! I love doing the work and I'd like to spend more time doing it - your support helps make that possible. Other projects I maintain I also maintain quite a few Go language libraries, for example an&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/ncw/swift">Openstack Swift</a> library which is used in rclone but also by many others (eg Docker). See <a href="https://github.com/ncw">my GitHub</a> for the full list! I'm also the founder of the&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/go-python/gpython/">gpython project</a> an attempt to port Python from C to Go.

Feel really good about supporting the rclone project. Sync is at the heart of what rclone does. It's the dizzying peak of the mountain built on the other layers of rclone.

rclone mount is probably the most widely used feature after sync - being able to mount your remote cloud storage systems is so useful. Reinforce the foundations with your donation :-)

Bolster rclone by supporting the project to serve your files from anywhere to anything (almost).

Contribute to rclone development in the knowledge that your data will be checked, wrapped in protective layers of checksums and verified all the way.

Producing a new fresh, tested rclone every 6 weeks needs a lot of time and your contribution will really help towards that.
