Encrypt Cloud Backups with Rclone Crypt — Zero-Knowledge Encryption for Google Drive, S3, and More

· 5 min read

When you upload files to Google Drive, Google can read them. When you store data on S3, Amazon can access it. Rclone's crypt remote changes this — your files are encrypted before they ever leave your machine.

Cloud providers encrypt data "at rest" on their servers, but they hold the keys. This means the provider (and potentially government agencies, hackers who breach the provider, or rogue employees) can access your files. Rclone's crypt remote provides true zero-knowledge encryption: files are encrypted on your machine before uploading, and only you have the key.

What if your Google Drive, S3 bucket, or OneDrive appeared as a regular folder on your computer? Open files in any app, save directly to the cloud, and browse everything in your file manager — no browser needed.

Mounting cloud storage as a local drive turns any cloud provider into what looks and feels like a USB drive or network share on your computer. Open Google Drive files in Photoshop. Save Excel reports directly to S3. Browse your Dropbox in Finder. RcloneView makes this work with 70+ cloud providers.

Rclone Filter Rules Explained: Include and Exclude Patterns for Smarter Syncs

· 6 min read

Syncing everything is wasteful. Syncing the wrong things is dangerous. Rclone's filter rules let you precisely control what gets transferred — but the syntax can be confusing. This guide breaks it all down with practical examples.

When you sync or copy files between clouds, you rarely want everything. Maybe you need only .pdf files, or everything except .tmp files, or files modified in the last 7 days, or files under 100 MB. Rclone's filter system handles all of this — and RcloneView lets you configure these filters visually in your job settings.
