Discover exactly where your cloud storage space is going with rclone's powerful NCDU tool, accessible directly through RcloneView's integrated terminal.

Cloud storage costs can creep up silently. A forgotten backup folder here, a batch of uncompressed video files there, and suddenly you are paying for terabytes of storage you did not realize you were using. Rclone includes a built-in NCDU (NCurses Disk Usage) tool that scans your remote storage and presents an interactive, navigable breakdown of directory sizes. Through RcloneView's integrated terminal and file explorer, you can run ncdu scans, identify space-consuming files and folders, and take immediate action to reclaim storage. This guide covers everything from basic scans to advanced analysis workflows across multiple cloud providers.

Analyze Cloud Storage Usage and Quotas with RcloneView

Before you can optimize cloud costs, you need to see exactly where your storage is going. RcloneView puts usage data and quota information for every connected remote in one place.

Most cloud storage costs are driven by volume. Whether you pay per gigabyte on S3, stay within a free tier on Google Drive, or share a team quota on OneDrive, knowing how much space each remote consumes is essential for cost control and capacity planning. Rclone's about command queries a provider's API for total, used, free, and trashed space. RcloneView surfaces this information visually so you can monitor all your remotes without switching between provider dashboards.

Visualize Your Storage: Track File Changes and Sync History in RcloneView

Command-line tools are powerful, but they leave you in the dark. Did that file actually transfer? Which version is newer? RcloneView shines a light on your data with a visual dashboard that tracks every move, change, and sync.

Managing cloud storage via the command line (CLI) is efficient for scripts, but it's a nightmare for visibility. When you run rclone sync, you see a stream of text, but understanding the state of your data requires mental gymnastics. RcloneView bridges the gap between the raw power of rclone and the human need for visual confirmation.
