  • RSyncUI – macOS native GUI for rsync

    My main Mac can't run Sonoma without OCLP and I'm perfectly happy on Monterey for now, so I will skip.

    I already have RSyncOSX, which after quite a bit of Googling and digging seems to be an older app by the same author.

    As opposed to the new:

    https://github.com/rsyncOSX/RsyncOSX

    Before that, I used to use ARsync:

    https://arrsync.sourceforge.net/

    https://www.bartbusschots.ie/s/2006/11/26/arrsync-an-rsync-g...

    It was, as I recall, nicer still but it's no longer maintained and the x86-32 binary no longer runs.

    FYI, Apple does not have the most recent version of rsync in macOS, but if you don't mind using Apple's outdated version, you can also use one of the free GUI apps, like [RsyncOSX](https://rsyncosx.netlify.app/

    Why do you need the video cache in a cloud? You do realise that cloud=on the internet somewhere? Maybe you want a fine sync Utility like https://rsyncosx.netlify.app for one time sync or https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing-macos for keeping directories/drives/machines synchronised continuously.

    It's a command-line app and as such rather difficult to configure. But using a GUI makes that a lot easier. Look at 2 slightly different option from the same developer: RsyncOSX manual here and/or RsyncUI manual here

    There is a utility called rsyncOSX that uses a GUI to help you set up rsync. I used something similar years ago (the app I used isn’t in active development anymore).
