Cloud accounts fail, get locked, or go offline during outages. A USB drive that refreshes itself every night is the cheapest insurance policy you can own.

RcloneView layers a friendly UI on top of rclone so anyone can mirror Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, S3, Wasabi, or even SMB shares into an external HDD or SSD. Dual Explorer panes, Compare previews, Sync/Copy templates, Mount Manager, and a built-in Scheduler help you keep a cold copy ready for ransomware incidents, travel, or compliance requests without memorizing CLI flags.

Bring your cloud with you. Use RcloneView to mirror Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, or S3 onto an external HDD/SSD that stays updated—ready for planes, trains, or spotty hotel Wi-Fi.

Travel, field shoots, or simply wanting a physical backup often collide with cloud-only workflows. Official sync apps throttle large libraries or demand selective sync. If you need the entire folder tree offline—and a plug-in drive as part of your backup strategy—RcloneView turns rclone’s sync power into a friendly GUI. Connect a remote, pick your external path, and schedule automatic refreshes so your drive is always ready, even if your account gets locked or you lose connectivity.

Stay connected—even when you’re not. Use RcloneView to sync your cloud data (Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, S3, and more) to a local or external drive so your files remain accessible offline, secure, and portable—no command line needed.

Why sync cloud data to an external drive​

When you’re on the move—traveling, shooting photos, working remotely, or editing offline—you can’t always rely on stable internet. Having a local mirror of your cloud folders on a portable SSD or HDD ensures you can keep working, even without connectivity.
