I used to use rclone to keep my files in sync with amazon (1TB) clouddrive (not S3, although it uses S3 infra). But amazon decided to pull support for rclone and all third party access to clouddrive (except odrive) - they revoked their API keys and decided not to hand out any more by shutting down the developer program. The result is that the only way to move files into/out of amazon clouddrive is to either use odrive or use their web interface (which really is a pain). Am now moving all of my 350+ GB of data out from amazon into backblaze (which supports rclone).
So while rclone "supports" amazon clouddrive technically, you can only use it if you already have your own API key that is not revoked.
- res0nat0r 7y agoIf they're listing clouddrive as a supported backup solution that seems sort of suspect because it was never intended to be used by backup programs such as this to store TB's of files and they started cracking down on that long ago I believe. If you're wanting to use AWS for backups they want you to be using the "real" s3 services.
- Dylan16807 7y agoThat's long-solved, since they kicked everyone with lots of data off and switched it from unlimited to 1TB. At this point there's no good reason to restrict people from using something like rclone. If people switched to the 'proper' backup service they offer on AWS, that would be glacier, and they would get significantly less money!
