Cloud Storage for Graphic Designers — Manage and Backup Design Files with RcloneView
Graphic designers work with some of the largest professional files — RcloneView manages multi-GB design assets across all your clouds from one interface, with scheduled backups and drag-and-drop transfers.
Graphic designers work with some of the most demanding files in any professional workflow — layered Photoshop documents, vector libraries, raw photography, brand asset packages, and print-ready PDFs. Managing these assets across cloud platforms, client delivery services, and local workstations requires a tool that handles large files without complaint. RcloneView connects your clouds in a visual interface purpose-built for serious file management.
Manage & Sync All Clouds in One Place
RcloneView is a cross-platform GUI for rclone. Compare folders, transfer or sync files, and automate multi-cloud workflows with a clean, visual interface.

Free core features. Plus automations available.
Organizing Design Assets Across Multiple Clouds
A typical design studio runs multiple cloud platforms simultaneously: Google Drive for client collaboration, Dropbox for agency file sharing, and cold storage (Backblaze B2 or Amazon S3) for completed project archives. RcloneView connects all of them at once, showing each as a tab in the multi-panel file explorer.
Managing cross-cloud workflows visually — client assets in the left panel, delivery folder on the right — makes copying finalized files to the client's shared location a drag-and-drop operation. No switching between browser tabs or desktop clients for each cloud service. The thumbnail view provides instant visual confirmation that the right imagery files are in the right folders.
Backup Strategy for Design Projects
Design file loss is catastrophic for any studio. RcloneView's scheduled backup (PLUS license) ensures every active design project folder gets backed up to a secondary cloud automatically. A freelance designer with 2 TB of project files across cloud storage creates a nightly backup job to Backblaze B2 — establishing a cloud-to-cloud safety net independent of any single provider.
Job Manager allows separate backup jobs for different project categories: active client projects sync hourly, completed archives sync weekly, and raw photography libraries sync monthly. Each job has independent scheduling, filter settings, and job history tracking. The Max File Age filter keeps incremental runs fast — only files modified recently get re-transferred.
Large File Handling and Delivery
Design files — particularly uncompressed PSDs, InDesign packages, and DNG archives — frequently exceed 1 GB per file. RcloneView handles these seamlessly through rclone's multipart upload capabilities. After uploading large files, enabling checksum verification in the job settings confirms every transferred file is bit-for-bit identical to the source — critical for print-ready files where silent corruption would cause costly reprints.
For designers delivering assets through file hosting services, RcloneView's drag-and-drop upload from local to any cloud remote makes delivery workflows fast and consistent. A designer delivering a complete brand identity package — logos, fonts, style guides, mockups — uploads the entire delivery folder in one drag operation.
