"fas fa-memory Memory
The memory backend is an in RAM backend. It does not persist its data - use the local backend for that.
The memory backend behaves like a bucket-based remote (e.g. like s3). Because it has no parameters you can just use it with the :memory:
remote name.
Configuration
You can configure it as a remote like this with rclone config
too if you want to:
No remotes found, make a new one?
n) New remote
s) Set configuration password
q) Quit config

Because the memory backend isn't persistent it is most useful for testing or with an rclone server or rclone mount, e.g.
rclone mount :memory: /mnt/tmp
rclone serve webdav :memory:
rclone serve sftp :memory:
Modification times and hashes
The memory backend supports MD5 hashes and modification times accurate to 1 nS.
Restricted filename characters
The memory backend replaces the default restricted characters set.
