How to Add Combine Using RcloneView​

A Combine Remote merges folders from multiple cloud remotes into one virtual view. It does not copy or move data— it simply lets you browse several locations as a single folder.

Why it’s useful:

  • See data scattered across clouds in one place.
  • Treat project folders from different services as a single workspace.
  • Run backup/Sync jobs as if it were one remote.
  • No extra storage or duplicate files.

Combine Remote is effectively a multi-cloud viewer.

Create a Combine Remote​

Step 1 — New Remote → Virtual → Combine​

new remote add combine

Step 2 — Enter Combine details​

You need three fields for each entry:

  • Remote name: Name of the Combine remote (e.g., MyCombine).
  • Directory: Folder name as it will appear inside the Combine view (e.g., Folder1).
  • Remote Path: Actual cloud path to include. Click the folder icon to pick from registered remotes.
combine select folder first

After picking the first path:

combine select folder second

Use Add Remote to add Folder2, Folder3, and more.
When all entries are set:

combine input window

Click Add Remote to create the Combine remote.

Step 3 — Confirm in Remote Manager​

Check Combined Folders in Explorer​

Open the Combine remote in the Explorer to see each added folder.

Folder1 — Google Drive example

Shows the same contents as mygoogledrive:Meet Recordings.

Folder2 — Dropbox example

combine check folder dropbox

Shows the same contents as drop:assets.

When to Use Combine​

  • View data across multiple clouds at once.
  • Consolidate project folders split across remotes.
  • Manage backup or Sync jobs through a single virtual remote.
  • Keep original structures intact while unifying the view.
  • Avoid duplicate storage while gaining a combined workspace.
