· 4 min read

Put.io is a cloud torrent and download service that stores fetched content directly in the cloud — RcloneView makes it easy to browse, sync, and back up those files.

Put.io lets you fetch torrents, direct links, and premium file host content directly into cloud storage, making it a popular choice for media enthusiasts. Once your files land in Put.io, you need a reliable way to move them — to a local drive, another cloud, or a personal archive. RcloneView connects to Put.io using OAuth browser login and gives you a full GUI to manage transfers without touching the command line.

Free core features. Plus automations available.

Connecting Put.io to RcloneView

Open RcloneView and navigate to the Remote Manager. Click New Remote, scroll through the provider list, and select Put.io. RcloneView will open your browser automatically for OAuth authentication — log in to your Put.io account and grant access. No API keys to copy manually; the OAuth flow handles everything.

Once authorized, the remote appears in your Remote Manager. Click Open to launch the file explorer and browse your Put.io storage. You'll see your saved files, folders organized by torrent or download job, and any directories you've created manually.

Browsing and Managing Put.io Files

The RcloneView File Explorer shows your Put.io contents in the familiar tree and list view. You can navigate folders, select multiple files, and initiate transfers directly from the panel. If you have large media libraries — movies, TV series, audio files — the thumbnail view gives you an image grid to quickly identify content.

To copy or move files between Put.io and another cloud (say, Google Drive or Backblaze B2), open a second panel pointing to your destination remote. Select files in the Put.io panel, right-click, and choose Copy or Move. RcloneView handles the transfer without downloading to your local machine first when doing cloud-to-cloud operations.

Setting Up a Sync Job for Put.io

For regular backups or one-way sync from Put.io to your long-term storage, the Job feature is more reliable than manual transfers. Go to Jobs, click New Job, and select your Put.io remote as the source. Set the destination to any other configured remote — Backblaze B2 is a common choice for affordable media archiving.

In the job configuration step, you can enable Dry Run to preview which files will be transferred before committing. This is useful when your Put.io library is large and you want to confirm the sync scope. After reviewing, disable Dry Run and run the job. RcloneView logs each transfer with file count, speed, and status in the Job History tab.

Use Cases: Media Content Workflows

Put.io users typically fall into a few patterns: archiving fetched media to cold storage, mirroring content to a home server, or syncing to Google Drive for streaming via third-party players. RcloneView covers all of these. You can create separate jobs for different Put.io subdirectories — one job for movies, another for TV shows — and schedule them independently with a PLUS license.

The Folder Compare feature is handy when you're not sure what's already been copied. Open both the Put.io folder and your destination side by side, and RcloneView highlights the differences so you only transfer what's missing.
