Use Min-Age and Max-Age Time-Based Filters in RcloneView

Not every sync job needs to transfer all files. RcloneView's time-based filters let you target only files modified within a specific window — sync today's changes, skip files older than 30 days, or back up only recent uploads.

Rclone's --min-age and --max-age flags are powerful tools for controlling which files participate in a sync, copy, or move operation based on their modification time. RcloneView exposes these options through its custom flags interface, enabling precise control over time-based file selection without touching the command line.

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

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.
