Chunker Remote — Split Large Files for Cloud Providers with Size Limits in RcloneView

· 3 min read
Tayson
Senior Engineer

Your video file is 15 GB. Your cloud provider's upload limit is 5 GB. Instead of re-encoding the video or finding another provider, the chunker remote splits it automatically.

Some cloud storage providers impose maximum file size limits. Google Drive caps at 5 TB (rarely an issue), but other providers — especially free tiers, WebDAV endpoints, and some S3-compatible services — have much lower limits. Rclone's chunker remote solves this by transparently splitting large files into chunks for upload and reassembling them on download.

Cloud Storage for Construction and Architecture Firms — Streamline Files with RcloneView

· 4 min read
Tayson
Senior Engineer

Architecture and construction firms deal with enormous, versioned files — Revit models, AutoCAD drawings, point cloud scans — that demand reliable, scheduled cloud backups. RcloneView handles all of it from a single GUI.

A mid-sized architecture firm generates dozens of gigabytes of BIM (Building Information Modeling) data per active project. Revit files exceed 1 GB routinely; point cloud scans from LiDAR surveys can reach 50–100 GB per site. When a project spans 18 months and involves 20 collaborators across three office locations, the question isn't whether to use cloud storage — it's which storage tier to use and how to automate the workflow. RcloneView provides the missing layer between your file storage and 90+ cloud providers, without requiring IT staff to maintain custom scripts.

Cloud Storage for Music and Entertainment Industry — Manage Media with RcloneView

· 4 min read
Tayson
Senior Engineer

Recording studios, music labels, and entertainment companies generate enormous volumes of high-value audio and video files. RcloneView automates their cloud backup, delivery, and archiving across 90+ providers.

A recording studio producing an album generates 50–300 GB of raw session data per project: multi-track ProTools sessions, stem files, mix iterations, and final masters in uncompressed AIFF or WAV format. A video production company shooting a 4K documentary accumulates 2–8 TB of raw footage per week. For both, losing a session or a shoot to hardware failure is catastrophic — and a single storage solution is never sufficient. RcloneView provides the automation layer to back up, distribute, and archive media assets across cloud providers without manual intervention.

Fix Backblaze B2 Cap Exceeded Errors — Resolve with RcloneView

· 4 min read

Senior Engineer

Backblaze B2's daily download cap can stop transfers mid-sync. Here's how to diagnose cap exceeded errors in RcloneView and configure your jobs to stay within limits.

Backblaze B2 offers generous free egress to Cloudflare-peered networks, but downloads to non-peered destinations consume from a daily cap. When that cap is reached, B2 returns HTTP 403 errors with a "cap exceeded" message, causing RcloneView sync jobs to fail or stall. This guide walks you through identifying the error, adjusting your transfer configuration, and scheduling jobs to stay within your B2 account's daily limits.

Fix Expired OAuth Tokens for Cloud Storage — Reconnect with RcloneView

· 4 min read
Tayson
Senior Engineer

OAuth tokens for Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, and other providers expire periodically. Here's how to recognize the error in RcloneView and re-authenticate without losing your remote configuration.

OAuth-based cloud providers — Google Drive, Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive, Box, pCloud, Yandex Disk, and others — grant access through tokens rather than passwords. These tokens have expiration policies: some refresh automatically for as long as the app remains active, while others expire after 90–180 days of inactivity or when the provider's security system detects unusual access patterns. When a token expires, RcloneView's sync jobs start failing with authentication errors that look alarming but are easy to fix.

Fix Connection Timeout on Large File Uploads — Solve with RcloneView

· 3 min read
Tayson
Senior Engineer

Large file uploads to cloud storage fail with timeout errors more often than small files. Here's how to diagnose the root cause and configure RcloneView to handle multi-GB transfers reliably.

Uploading a 20 GB video archive or a 50 GB database dump to cloud storage is fundamentally different from syncing a folder of documents. Large files stress connection stability, exhaust default timeout thresholds, and expose multipart chunking limitations that small-file transfers never encounter. RcloneView exposes the rclone flags you need to tune these parameters — through Global Rclone Flags and per-job settings — without requiring you to write shell scripts.

Fix SMB Network Share Mount Errors — Resolve Connection Issues with RcloneView

· 4 min read
Tayson
Senior Engineer

SMB/CIFS network share errors in RcloneView commonly stem from authentication mismatches, protocol version conflicts, or firewall blocking. Here's how to diagnose and fix each case.

SMB (Server Message Block) / CIFS is the protocol Windows uses for network file sharing — NAS devices, Windows file servers, and Samba shares all use it. RcloneView connects to SMB shares as a remote, letting you sync between SMB and cloud storage or mount SMB shares alongside other cloud providers. But SMB connections are sensitive to network configuration: authentication mode, dialect version, and firewall rules all affect whether the connection succeeds. This guide walks through the most common SMB errors and their fixes.

Koofr vs Jottacloud — European Cloud Storage Comparison with RcloneView

· 4 min read

Senior Engineer

Both Koofr and Jottacloud are privacy-focused European cloud storage providers with strong GDPR compliance. RcloneView supports both, making it easy to manage, compare, or migrate between them.

European businesses and individuals choosing cloud storage often narrow their list to GDPR-compliant providers with data centers in Europe. Koofr (Slovenia) and Jottacloud (Norway) are two of the most recognized independent European cloud providers — both privacy-focused, both supported by rclone, and both manageable through RcloneView. This comparison helps you understand the practical differences when using either service for backup and sync workflows.

RcloneView connects to DigitalOcean Spaces via S3-compatible API, giving you a visual file manager for your object storage buckets across any region.

DigitalOcean Spaces is a developer-friendly object storage service with a flat pricing model and built-in CDN. Teams running workloads on DigitalOcean Droplets often store backups, static assets, and deployment artifacts in Spaces. RcloneView adds a graphical layer on top of rclone's S3-compatible backend, so you can visually browse buckets, run scheduled syncs, and compare local directories against remote storage — all without touching the CLI.

Manage Google Photos Storage — Sync and Backup Photos with RcloneView

· 4 min read

Senior Engineer

RcloneView connects to Google Photos via OAuth, letting you browse your photo library, back up originals to local storage or other cloud providers, and run scheduled exports.

Google Photos is the default photo backup solution for billions of Android users — but it's not a backup itself. If your Google account is compromised, storage quota is exceeded, or the service terms change, your photo library is at risk. RcloneView connects to Google Photos as a separate remote from Google Drive, giving you direct access to your library for download and backup to external drives, NAS devices, or cold cloud storage like Amazon S3 or Backblaze B2.
