mountpoint-s3 VS rclone

... or does "S3 file system" mean https://github.com/awslabs/mountpoint-s3 - a Rust project by AWS Labs that provides "a simple, high-throughput file client for mounting an Amazon S3 bucket as a local file system" ?

Looks like support for S3 Express was merged in with version 1.30 just a few hours ago https://github.com/awslabs/mountpoint-s3/pull/642

mountpoint-s3 is AWS’ first party solution for mounting s3 buckets as file systems: https://github.com/awslabs/mountpoint-s3

Haven’t used it but it looks cool, if a bit immature.

This might be useful with a MinIO server, although not directly supported

rclone: a command-line program to manage files on cloud storage.

Synchronise buckets with Sclone or Rclone

Says that Apple doesn't provide a multi platform API. It doesn't provide any official supported way to access iCloud from Windows, Linux.

There's a ticket covering everything you might ever want to know:

https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/1778

seconding rsync and syncthing.

the server could expose an smb or nfs share, the client could mount it, and then sync to that mount.

rsync over ssh also works, if you do not want to run smb/nfs.

this is also a cool tool https://rclone.org/

rclone [1] to dropbox. works since years without problems

rclone provides a special pCloud config option, which makes the setup straight forward. rclone can encrypt the data it uploads with its own encryption but not with the pCloud encryption. Therefore it can only upload data to the unencrypted pCloud folders, not to the Crypto Folder.

The arkclone project impliments rclone in ArkOS to achieve cloud saves. Not yet built in to ArkOS yet, and not a lot of recent traction on the pull request to get it added, but it can be installed manually.
