Amazon S3 Storage Providers ​

The S3 backend can be used with a number of different providers:

Paths are specified as remote:bucket (or remote: for the lsd command.) You may put subdirectories in too, e.g. remote:bucket/path/to/dir.

Once you have made a remote (see the provider specific section above) you can use it like this:

See all buckets

rclone lsd remote:

Make a new bucket

rclone mkdir remote:bucket

List the contents of a bucket

rclone ls remote:bucket

Sync /home/local/directory to the remote bucket, deleting any excess files in the bucket.

rclone sync --interactive /home/local/directory remote:bucket

Configuration ​

Here is an example of making an s3 configuration for the AWS S3 provider. Most applies to the other providers as well, any differences are described below.
