What is the problem you are having with rclone?
the android build are not .apk, or what are they?
as you know most of the users use android because of it's portability and the existing of public internet places
so how to install them
welcome to the forum,
afiak, rclone does not offer .apk.
the link you reference is to download an executable that runs inside termux

i run rclone on termux and i have a wiki about that.
https://forum.rclone.org/t/rclone-on-termux-turn-your-android-phone-into-a-media-server/16064
i have better solution
it work like termux even better
it's called RNX neo it's better than termux because it has it's own gui RNX desk, a linux arm64 emulator built on top of termux made just open the two apps no complex setup needed
edit : to install the linux arm64.deb
it still has issues with sudo commands as when you inter su you can’t access user directory
so instead upack it with
dpkg-deb -x package.deb ~/myapp
export PATH=~/myapp/usr/bin:$PATH
`echo 'export PATH=~/myapp/usr/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc`
where is the open source code for that?
i believe it's this one
if the code seems not updated
you can read this doc for the developer contact information like Telegram
it's also on google play !
yeah, i saw it at github, but not sure where all the source code is?
it seems to be installing software from a unknown third-party website???
wget -O work_inet "https://awntodataserv.000webhostapp.com/eco.php?
does not mean it safe to install, safe to use!
as i said the code appear to be old
like the dev don't feel like someone want it that much
if you do you can ask it from him in the Telegram
i tried that link you quoted it and it's dead
personally i am using the app for months and it's fine
i don't believe in android malwares*
Hi,
Take a look at RSAF on github and possibly f-droid.
It is Rclone for Android. You can import your existing rclone.conf and access all vaults.
