syncrclone VS rclone

Context: I am the developer of a "competitor" to bisync called syncrclone. I lay out a good-faith comparison here

I am the author of syncrclone which can do any remotes. It has its own pros and cons. See my comparison

I am the author of another option: syncrclone. I am, of course, biased but I think it actually works better than bisync, has a more robust algorithm, and is more compatible (including with WebDAV remotes). I wrote a good-faith comparison here. It is also more advanced to use including knowing that if you use webdav, you must set compare = 'size' (but hey, now you know!).

Another idea. I am the author of syncrclone, a python wrapper around rclone that does bi-directional sync. It predates bisync but not the other python wrapper on which bisync is based.

Way different experience but I wrote a bidirectional sync tool that wraps rclone and can do it to Dropbox. I use it on Dropbox and OneDrive on my super old macs. My newer ones I just use the native OneDrive client. https://github.com/Jwink3101/syncrclone

More advanced but I wrote my one bi-directional sync tool. I use my tool to keep some thing synced across multiple machines and mount for things I don’t also need locally. It’s not as svelte as how OneDrive keeps things local and remote but it works.

This borrows a lot of ideas (and some code) from my other major rclone tool, syncrclone.

Apparently I love writing wrappers around rclone (syncrclone, lfsrclone, PyFiSync, amongst others).

At home, I use my own tool I built to sync but that is not user friendly really.

This is quite the hack when there is bisync built in or third-party tools that interface directs and will work better. One example, which I built so I am biased, is syncrclone

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:

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.
