RcloneBrowser [rclone GUI]

Howto Guides
1

mmozeiko built a promising-looking GUI for rclone!

https://github.com/mmozeiko/RcloneBrowser/

Features

  • Allows to browse and modify any rclone remote, including encrypted ones

  • Uses same configuration file as rclone, no extra configuration required

  • Supports encrypted .rclone.conf configuration file

  • Simultaneously navigate multiple repositories in separate tabs

  • Lists files hierarchically with file name, size and modify date

  • All rclone commands are executed asynchronously, no freezing GUI

  • File hierarchy is lazily cached in memory, for faster traversal of folders

  • Allows to upload, download, create new folders, rename or delete files and folders

  • Can process multiple upload or download jobs in background

  • Drag & drop support for dragging files from local file explorer for uploading

  • Streaming media files for playback in player like mpv or similar

  • Mount and unmount folders on macOS and GNU/Linux

  • Optionally minimizes to tray, with notifications when upload/download finishes

Great app.
You could consider build in FTP for Windows user since there is no mount.

I haven’t tried it yet, but from the screenshots it seems that you can stream even encrypted content with your preferred player.

4

This looks great.
Is it possible you can do a more step-by-step for windows installation

oO
Get and extract the .zip then run RcloneBrowser.exe

I usually do not run rclone on Windows, but I got rclonebrowser, unzipped it and provided the path for the rclone binaries.
Then? what should happen?
i have the config file already working with rclone, but nothing happens… i do not see any remotes in the gui.
(Windows 10 pro 64).

This is a useful tool. Thank you!

It looks great. All it’s missing now is a Web-based GUI because I only run headless servers.

Why would you need a WebUI on your server? rClone is to be used with scripts, ins’t it?

13

Not following you. Lots of servers have webUIs for a number of things. Mine does. I know I’d like to integrate rclone into my server webUI. I have 30TB to back up so it would be nice to have an easy way to visualize that.

what i have
WebUI = rclone mount + nginx [+ webDav client]
