How to implement a new storage backend

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I want to know how to implement a new storage backend.

I've searched the forum and found the dev topic but can still not find docs or posts that would help me understand how a new backend can be integrated.

I've used Discourse search, looked in the Dev and HowTo categories and found a topic called "Advice in writing a new backend" which title isn't a good description, because that's exactly what I would like and it doesn't help! I have also looked through the website, its FAQ, the github including the Wiki.

I'm sure this must be covered somewhere, so maybe making this more visible somewhere on the website and other places people would look. I suggest the best place would be the github README, adding a section for contributors and people wanting to add a backend.

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
