Manage Liara Object Storage — Sync and Backup Files with RcloneView

· 3 min read

Bring Liara buckets into the same explorer window as every other cloud you already manage.

Liara is an S3-compatible object storage service, and RcloneView connects to it the same way it connects to Amazon S3, Wasabi, or any other S3-protocol provider — through an Access Key, a Secret Key, and an endpoint. Once the remote is added, Liara buckets appear as a regular tab in the file explorer, ready to browse, transfer, and schedule alongside local disks and other cloud accounts.

Free core features. Plus automations available.

Connecting Liara as a New Remote

Open Remote Manager from the Remote tab and click New Remote. Since Liara is accessed through rclone's S3 protocol, select the S3-compatible option and enter the Access Key, Secret Key, and endpoint URL from your Liara console. There's no OAuth browser step to complete — once the test connection succeeds, the bucket shows up in your tab bar just like any other remote.

Adding a new S3-compatible remote in RcloneView

RcloneView mounts and syncs 90+ providers from one window, on Windows, macOS, and Linux — Liara doesn't need a separate client or a different workflow than the rest of your cloud accounts.

Browsing, Transferring, and Syncing Buckets

Split your explorer into two panels — one showing local files or another cloud, the other showing your Liara bucket — and drag files between them. Moving files within the same remote performs a move, while dragging between different remotes performs a copy, so you can stage backups into Liara without disturbing the source folder.

Transferring files between a local folder and a Liara bucket

For recurring jobs, use the 4-step Sync wizard: choose source and destination, tune concurrent transfer counts and equality checkers under Advanced Settings, then apply file-type, size, or age filters before saving. Run a Dry Run first to preview exactly what will be copied or deleted before committing to a live sync.

Scheduling Backups and Monitoring Jobs

Once a sync job is saved in Job Manager, PLUS-license users can attach a crontab-style schedule so Liara backups run automatically on a fixed cadence, with a preview of upcoming execution times before saving.

Setting a recurring backup schedule for a Liara sync job

Every run — manual or scheduled — is recorded in Job History with status, transfer speed, file count, and total size, so you can confirm a Liara backup completed cleanly or catch a failed run to retry.

Getting Started

  1. Download RcloneView from rcloneview.com.
  2. Generate an Access Key and Secret Key from your Liara console and note the endpoint URL.
  3. Add Liara as a new S3-compatible remote in Remote Manager and test the connection.
  4. Run a Dry Run sync before scheduling recurring backups to your Liara bucket.

With Liara connected, your object storage sits next to every other cloud you manage — one explorer, one set of sync jobs, no separate client to maintain.
