Fix External Rclone Connection Refused — Troubleshoot rcd Access with RcloneView

· 3 min read
Casey
Product Manager

When RcloneView cannot reach your external rclone server, the cause is almost always one of five things you can check in minutes.

RcloneView ships with an embedded rclone, but many users point it at an external rclone running on a NAS, VPS, or AWS EC2 instance through the Connect Manager. When that link fails with "connection refused", a timeout, or an authentication error, a short checklist finds the cause.

Migrate Mega to pCloud — Transfer Files with RcloneView

· 3 min read
Morgan
Staff Engineer

Move an entire Mega account into pCloud with a previewable, verifiable copy job instead of a manual download-and-reupload.

Switching from Mega to pCloud usually means thousands of files across nested folders, and the browser route forces you to download everything first. RcloneView connects both services side by side and transfers cloud-to-cloud, with a Dry Run to preview the job and Folder Compare to confirm nothing was missed. RcloneView manages 90+ cloud storage services from one window on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Cloud Storage for Civil Engineering Firms — Project Files, Survey Data, and Backups with RcloneView

· 3 min read
Tayson
Senior Engineer

Keep drawings, survey data and closed-out projects safe across several clouds without scripting a single command.

A mid-sized civil engineering firm may juggle active road-design projects on Google Drive, client deliverables in Box or OneDrive, and years of closed-out archives on a NAS. Each location has its own interface, which makes consistent backups hard. RcloneView brings all of them into one window so you can copy, compare and schedule transfers visually.

Copy Full Path with Remote — Bridge the GUI and rclone Commands in RcloneView

· 3 min read
Kai
Junior Engineer

One right-click turns a folder you are browsing into a ready-to-use rclone path.

Anyone who has typed an rclone command knows the pain of getting remote:path exactly right, especially with spaces and nested folders. RcloneView solves this with a breadcrumb menu option that copies the full path, including the remote name, straight to your clipboard.

Fix Scaleway Object Storage Connection Errors — Resolve with RcloneView

· 3 min read
Steve
Senior Engineer

Most Scaleway connection failures come down to a region, endpoint, or key mismatch — here is how to find and fix it in RcloneView.

Scaleway Object Storage is reached through the S3-compatible protocol, so a remote needs a matching Access Key, Secret Key, region, and endpoint. If any one of these disagrees with where the bucket actually lives, you get access denied or bucket-not-found errors that look like network problems. RcloneView shows the errors in its logs and lets you rebuild the remote without losing your sync jobs.

Sync pCloud to Google Drive — Cloud Backup with RcloneView

· 3 min read
Jay
Tech Writer

Keep a second copy of your pCloud files in Google Drive with a cloud-to-cloud sync job you can preview, run, and schedule from one window.

Relying on a single cloud for important files leaves you exposed to account lockouts, accidental deletions, and sync mistakes. Mirroring pCloud into Google Drive gives you an independent copy on a different provider. RcloneView connects both services through OAuth, then syncs data between them as a job. RcloneView mounts AND syncs 90+ providers from one window, on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Migrate Google Drive to Wasabi — Transfer Files with RcloneView

· 3 min read
Alex
Principal Engineer

Move or archive a Google Drive into a Wasabi bucket without downloading anything to your own disk first.

A design studio with 2TB of finished projects may want them out of Google Drive and into S3-compatible object storage. RcloneView transfers directly from Drive to Wasabi, with a Dry Run beforehand and a Folder Compare afterward so you can confirm nothing was missed.

Fix premiumize.me Sync Errors — Authorization and Transfer Problems Resolved with RcloneView

· 3 min read
Casey
Product Manager

When a premiumize.me job fails, RcloneView's job history, DEBUG logs, and Folder Compare show whether the cause is the login, the transfer load, or files that never arrived.

A premiumize.me job that stops early, or leaves a folder half copied, is hard to diagnose from a bare command line. RcloneView keeps the remote check, the job record, the log, and a side-by-side comparison in one window, so you can fix the real cause instead of rerunning blindly. RcloneView mounts AND syncs 90+ providers from one window, on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Migrate Mail.ru Cloud to Backblaze B2 — Transfer Files with RcloneView

· 3 min read
Morgan
Staff Engineer

Copy a Mail.ru Cloud library into Backblaze B2 object storage from one window, with a preview before anything moves and a comparison after.

If years of documents and photos live in Mail.ru Cloud, a second copy in an object store gives you an independent archive. RcloneView connects both services as remotes and runs the transfer as a cloud-to-cloud job, so files do not need to be downloaded to a laptop first. Connect S3, Azure, or Backblaze B2 with full read/write on the FREE license.

Cloud Storage for Physical Therapy Clinics — Organized, Encrypted Backups with RcloneView

· 4 min read
Robin
Developer Advocate

Keep patient paperwork, exercise videos, and imaging exports backed up across more than one cloud without scripting a single command.

A physical therapy clinic produces more files than most owners expect: scanned intake forms, referral letters, home-exercise videos, gait-analysis recordings, and exported imaging. These often sit on a front-desk PC or a small NAS with one copy and no tested restore. RcloneView gives clinic staff a desktop GUI to copy that data to cloud storage, encrypt it, and verify it arrived.
