Planning your multi-cloud strategy? Here’s how to pick the best Rclone-supported providers for 2025.

Why publish a “best cloud storage 2025” comparison for RcloneView?​

Multi-cloud backups are no longer optional. Teams want the flexibility to mix hyperscale storage, collaboration drives, and cost-efficient archives—ideally orchestrated from one interface. This guide compares 10 Rclone-supported providers so you can:

• Build a short list based on cost, speed, compliance, or automation.
• Understand where RcloneView adds visibility (Explorer, Compare, Jobs).
• Confidently pitch “best cloud storage 2025” options to stakeholders with data-driven pros/cons.

Bridge your on-prem NAS with S3-compatible clouds and Cloudflare R2 using RcloneView’s visual workflows.

Why hybrid cloud storage is trending in 2025​

Teams want LAN-speed collaboration plus cloud durability and edge delivery. That means:

• A NAS (Synology, QNAP, TrueNAS, etc.) keeps day-to-day files close to the team.
• Amazon S3 or Wasabi stores long-term backups, analytics data, or compliance snapshots.
• Cloudflare R2 pushes content to users globally without surprise egress bills.

Juggling these manually is painful—different portals, scripts, and cron jobs. RcloneView unifies them:

• Add NAS (via SMB/NFS/WebDAV), S3-compatible buckets, and Cloudflare R2 in the same Explorer.
• Use Compare, drag-and-drop, and Jobs to automate every leg of the workflow.
• Track history, alerts, and dry runs to keep hybrid operations auditable.

Out of disk? Mount your cloud as a local drive with RcloneView and let Plex stream directly from it—smoothly, reliably, and without command‑line setup.

Plex is fantastic at organizing and streaming your media, but local storage fills up fast. Meanwhile, cloud buckets—Google Drive, Dropbox, Wasabi, Cloudflare R2, S3—offer cheap, virtually unlimited space. The missing piece is a clean way to make Plex “see” those cloud folders like a local path. Rclone’s mount command solves it, and RcloneView wraps that power in a simple GUI: pick a cloud folder, choose a drive letter or mount path, enable caching, and go. No terminal, no flags to memorize.

Switch clouds without re-downloading gigabytes. RcloneView gives you a two-pane Explorer, Compare, Sync, and scheduled Jobs so OneDrive ↔ Google Drive moves stay fast and predictable—no CLI required.

One clean dashboard for all your clouds—browse, compare, transfer, and automate without the command line.

Cloud storage sprawl is real. Personal Gmail + a work Google account, a OneDrive tied to Microsoft 365, a legacy Dropbox you still share with a vendor, and an S3 bucket for archives. Logging in and out of different portals wastes time and makes it easy to lose track of what lives where. RcloneView solves that by bringing every account into a single, visual explorer powered by rclone—so you can move confidently between providers with previews, dry-runs, and scheduled jobs.

Bring all your object-storage clouds under one roof—without touching the command line.

Why centralize S3-compatible storage across Amazon, Wasabi, and Cloudflare R2?​

If you’re working with large volumes of data or managing multi-cloud backups, you know that storage isn’t one-size-fits-all.

• Amazon S3 offers global scale and maturity.
• Wasabi provides cost-efficient, high-capacity storage.
• Cloudflare R2 eliminates egress fees for distribution workloads.

The catch? Each has its own console, API, and toolset. That’s where RcloneView steps in.
By layering a modern GUI over the proven rclone engine, it unifies your S3, Wasabi, and R2 storage into a single interface—so you can manage, compare, and automate cross-cloud transfers with ease.

Stop paying for duplicate or forgotten data across Google Drive, S3, R2, and Dropbox. RcloneView’s Compare tool lets you visually spot and remove ghost files to shrink your monthly bill.

Cloud sprawl hits budgets first: overlapping backups, legacy project folders, and stale exports that nobody remembers. With RcloneView you can audit two remotes side by side, surface duplicates, and archive or delete safely—no CLI required and with logs you can keep for finance.

Shift terabytes between Dropbox, OneDrive, S3, or NAS without touching the CLI. RcloneView lets you Compare, copy, sync, and schedule migrations so you avoid duplicates, catch missing files, and validate integrity end-to-end.

Keep your sensitive files safe—even in the cloud. With RcloneView, you can encrypt and manage your cloud backups visually using rclone’s crypt backend, ensuring complete privacy for Google Drive, OneDrive, S3, and more—no scripting needed.

Why encrypt your cloud backups?​

Cloud storage is convenient and reliable, but your files still live on someone else’s servers. Without encryption, service providers (or anyone who gains access to your account) could read your data.

Encrypting your cloud backups gives you true ownership of your information—only you hold the decryption key.

Protect your NAS data with zero scripting. Use RcloneView to connect Synology or QNAP devices directly to your favorite cloud storage—Google Drive, OneDrive, Amazon S3, or WebDAV—and schedule automatic off-site backups.

Why back up your NAS to the cloud​

NAS systems like Synology and QNAP are perfect for local storage, media libraries, and file sharing—but they’re still vulnerable to theft, fire, or hardware failure. Off-site cloud backups add a critical layer of protection by ensuring your data survives even if your NAS doesn’t.

RcloneView gives NAS owners an easy way to automate that process, with:

• No command line setup
• Drag-and-drop transfers
• Visual sync previews
• Scheduled backups
• Support for 40+ cloud providers
