I'm definitely a Rclone fan, it's an invaluable tool if less technical folks give you lots of data in a consumer / business cloud, and you need to somehow put that data onto a server to do further processing. It's also great for direct cloud-to-cloud transfers if you have lots of data and a crappy home connection. Put clone on a server with good networking, run it under tmux, and your computer doesn't even have be on for the thing to run.

  That way doesn't let you check on your progress, right? Screen / Tmux let you re-attach to the session at any time and see what's going on, if there were errors etc.
