Rclone Move: How to Migrate Data to and from Cloud Storage

Rclone Move is a powerful tool for migrating data to and from cloud storage, allowing you to easily transfer files between different cloud services.

Rclone supports over 40 cloud storage providers, including Google Drive, Amazon S3, Microsoft OneDrive, and Dropbox.

With Rclone Move, you can transfer files between different cloud services without having to download and re-upload them locally.

Rclone Move can also be used to migrate data to and from local storage, such as external hard drives or NAS devices.

This means you can free up space on your local device by moving large files to the cloud, or move files to a local storage device for offline access.

To install rclone, head over to the rclone website and download the Windows installer from the downloads page at https://rclone.org/downloads/. Once you've downloaded it, follow the installation instructions to get rclone up and running on your system.

After installation, you'll be ready to proceed to the configuration section.

To configure and connect rclone, start by installing it on your local computer. You can find the installation instructions on the Rclone downloads page.

First, you'll need to create a remote connection to your cloud storage service. This involves using the command `rclone config` and following the prompts to enter details about the new remote, such as the name, storage, client ID, client secret, and scope.

To set up the remote connection, you'll need to choose some configuration settings and then a method to grant permission for rclone to access your cloud storage account. The exact steps may vary depending on the storage provider, so be sure to consult the official Rclone docs for more information.

Here are the basic steps to follow:

Once you've completed these steps, you'll see a configuration complete message and a copy of the configuration settings.

Creating a remote connection with Rclone is a straightforward process. You'll start by using the command rclone config in your terminal.

To begin, you'll see three options: Enter "n" to continue with a new remote setup. This will prompt you to enter details about the new remote, including its name, storage, client ID, client secret, and scope.

Rclone will then guide you through a series of configuration settings and permission-granting steps. Depending on the storage provider, there may be additional steps to follow - be sure to consult the official Rclone docs for more information.

To configure the remote, you'll need to decide whether to use a service account file or interactive login. If you choose interactive login, leave the service_account_file field blank by pressing "Enter".

Once you've completed the configuration, you'll see a configuration complete message and a copy of the configuration settings. To exit the main rclone config menu, simply type "q".

Here's a quick rundown of the configuration steps:

Rclone is a command-line tool that allows you to manage data in two or more locations.

You can use Rclone to migrate data from Google Drive to Wasabi, as it has been certified for use with Wasabi. This means you can trust it to get the job done.

To copy data from Google Drive to Wasabi, you'll need to configure both as remotes in Rclone. The basic Rclone command to copy data looks like this: rclone copy source: destination:.

Make sure to use double quotes if your remote drive name or source/destination paths have spaces. For example, if your drive is named "google drive", you'll need to use "google drive" in your command.

You can also use the -P flag to get a print out of the transfer as it's taking place. This can be helpful if you want to monitor the progress of your data migration.

To move data to Wasabi, you can use the "rclone move" command. This will copy files from the source (Google Drive) to the destination (Wasabi) and then remove the source files from Google Drive if the transfer is successful.

You can copy data from Google Drive to Wasabi using the basic Rclone command, which looks like this: rclone copy --config=/path/to/your/config/file source:RemoteDrive dest:Wasabi.

To avoid errors due to spaces in your Remote Drive name or Source/Destination paths, use double quotes. For example, if your drive is named "google drive", you'll need to use "google drive" in the command.

The -P option will give you a print out of the transfer as it's taking place.

To move data from Google Drive to Wasabi, use the "rclone move" command, which will copy files from the source to the destination and then remove the source files from Google Drive if the transfer is successful.

You can use the basic syntax of the 'rclone move' command, which looks like this: rclone move --config=/path/to/your/config/file source:RemoteDrive dest:Wasabi.
