Introduction

RcloneLab is a rclone GUI for Google Colaboratory, similar to Rclone Browser. Please consider contributing our project, any improved version of the code is welcome and much appreciate.

rclone ("rsync for cloud storage") is a command line program to sync files and directories to and from different cloud storage providers.

Google Colaboratory is a free Jupyter notebook environment that requires no setup and runs entirely in the cloud with high speed network. Check the VM's specification here.

Installation

2. Choose where to load rclone.conf file by two methods below.

   2.1. Default, by upload rclone.conf from your computer. If you choose this method, uncheck the "Use_rclone_config_from_Google_Drive" checkbox.

   Note: If you want to upload new rclone.conf file please reset all runtimes first.
