RClone GUI suggestions needed

Hi All,

I am just a typical user under windows.

My dream is having rclone user interface that is almost embedded or quile similar to file explorer.
I have been using RcloneBrowser and RCloneExplorer https://github.com/andrewiankidd/rcloneExplorer
and in my androw gadgets RcloneExplorer for Android https://github.com/kaczmarkiewiczp/rcloneExplorer
I tried to use rclone mount … Mount @ Windows 10 - Solving speed issues with big multimedia files

Obviously a simple file explorer UI will not be able to cover all rclone functionalyties.

I would propose

a) a simple GUI, native application, to mimik file explorer functions, just for simple rclone tasks, portable (ie, not needing installation and status self contained, ie USB mode…)

b) a rich GUI covering schedule, background tasks, etc. Obviously this could be an advanced GUI within the same application…

I certainly prefer a portable native code better than an browser based interface. For me is more clean, clear and reliable, and fills less mental space and usually is more resource (memory, CPU) lean, ie, less use of. And it does not mixup wiht other open tabs etc.

Of course rclone as we know now should remain… I have not explored using rclone in service mode but if not available it would be a request…

Other dreams

  • remote control of rclone (i.e. from the othere part of the world to my home machine :wink:
  • easy configuration of remotes, so as click on remote and being able to modify name, password, etc. And to change passwords in cloud services… Current tree based alphanumeric approach… is very efficient in resources but not the most friendly.
  • read configuration file from cloud storage

By the way, another inspiration should be CarotDAV. Works like a charm for its given features. Short of many cloudproviders but delicious in many ways.

My $1 :slight_smile:
