Vendors
Rclone supports by default a great list of vendors, plus all of those offering an already
supported API (like S3 or OpenShift).
Unfortunately some of them are not meant to be used as a backup backend as their main target is not backup
but web development: so they are not expecting high-volume of file transfers.
So here is a list of providers I’ve tested :
working
The good:
- file transfers are fast
- it’s cheap
The bad:
- the UI is slow and crashes if you have too many files (but there is no problem if you use Rclone)
The good:
- file transfers are fast
- it’s cheap
not working for my backup use-case
With Rclone v1.52.3-339-gb6d3cad7-beta, the following providers are not working or partially working as expected.
The good:
- file transfers seem to work fine and fast
- the possibility to share plain files is great
- it’s cheap
The bad:
- the european datacenter seems buggy: I was not able to find the API keys generated by Rclone in the user interface
- you have to use OAuth2 and to get a token you need to let your Rclone working as a working callback url: this means
that you need to open a port in your firewall
I’ll try again in some months! (and you should also if you are not using the european datacenter)
The good:
- file transfers work fast
- it’s cheap
The bad:
- unreliable transfers: sometimes slow, sometimes completely blocked (probably a rate-limit protection)
The good:
- file transfers work fast
- it’s cheap
- the possibility to share plain files is great
- nice and reactive UI
The bad:
- no checksum available: Rclone is not able to cryptographically check that a file has been pushed (it fallbacks
to the size of the file )
