Descriptions of rclone often carry the strapline "Rclone syncs your files to cloud storage".[8] Those prior to 2020 include the alternative "Rsync for Cloud Storage".[9]
Rclone is well known for its rclone sync and rclone mount commands.[10] It provides further management functions analogous to those ordinarily used for files on local disks, but which tolerate some intermittent and unreliable service. Rclone is commonly used with media servers such as Plex,[11]Emby or Jellyfin[12] to stream content direct from consumer file storage services.[11]
