Help and Support
2

welcome to the forum

summary:

  • cloud storage
    rclone can do that.

  • files encrypted before entering cloud storage, files decrypted and accessed locally
    rclone can do that

  • fast upload and download of small files
    as per rclone docs, that is a limitation of google drive. not a limitation of rclone.

  • sync/file streaming/mounting of cloud storage as a drive, (the same file in pc 1, pc 2 and cloud, so a change to the file in pc 1, pc 2 and cloud get the change to that file)
    rclone can do that

  • being able to make certain files and folders available for offline without losing folder structure, sync changes when going back online
    if you download a files or folders to local, then it is available offline. rclone can keep folder structure.

afiak, the same would apply to rclone.

  • rclone can do that

rclone mount is not desgined to emulate the offline feature of google drive desktop or microsoft onedrive desktop.
