Oracle Cloud Object Storage offers competitive pricing and strong enterprise SLAs — RcloneView gives you a simple graphical interface to manage, sync, and back up your OCI buckets.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Object Storage is a fully S3-compatible object store with a generous Always Free tier and enterprise-grade durability guarantees. Teams running workloads on OCI or looking for a cost-effective alternative to AWS S3 will find Oracle Cloud Object Storage a compelling option. RcloneView connects to it via the S3-compatible API, giving you a full-featured GUI for bucket management, file transfers, and automated sync jobs — no CLI required.

Setting Up Oracle Cloud Object Storage in RcloneView

To connect RcloneView to Oracle Cloud Object Storage, you need three things: a Customer Access Key (not your OCI API key), the namespace, and the regional endpoint. Generate the access key in the OCI Console under your user profile > Customer Secret Keys. The endpoint format is https://<namespace>.compat.objectstorage.<region>.oraclecloud.com — for example, https://axyz1234abcd.compat.objectstorage.us-ashburn-1.oraclecloud.com.

In RcloneView, click New Remote, select S3 Compatible Storage, and choose Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage from the provider dropdown. Paste in your Access Key ID, Secret Key, and the regional endpoint. Set the region field to match your OCI region code. Click Save and RcloneView will immediately connect and list your buckets.

Browsing Buckets and Managing Files

Once connected, Oracle Cloud Object Storage behaves like any other remote in RcloneView's dual-pane explorer. Navigate through bucket namespaces and object prefixes, upload files with drag and drop, and download objects to your local machine. RcloneView shows live transfer metrics so you can monitor large uploads as they progress.

If you use multiple OCI regions for geographic redundancy, add each regional endpoint as a separate named remote. You can then open them side by side in the explorer and copy objects directly between regions via cloud-to-cloud transfer — no local download required.

Creating Sync Jobs for Backup

RcloneView's Job Wizard walks you through creating a sync job to or from Oracle Cloud Object Storage in four steps: choose the source, choose the destination, configure options, and review before running. Use the dry run mode first to see exactly which files would be transferred or deleted — this is especially important when syncing to OCI because sync operations can remove files in the destination that no longer exist at the source.

The Job History panel records every job run with timestamps and transfer stats, giving you an audit trail for compliance purposes. PLUS license users can add a schedule to each job so backups run automatically — for example, every night at 2 AM — without any manual action.
