View source for RClone - Google Cloud Storage

=Google Cloud Storage=

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

The initial setup for google cloud storage involves getting a token from Google Cloud Storage which you need to do in your browser. '''rclone config''' walks you through it.

==Setup==

Here is an example of how to make a remote called '''remote'''. First run:

<pre>
rclone config
</pre>

This will guide you through an interactive setup process:

<pre>
n) New remote
d) Delete remote
q) Quit config
e/n/d/q> n
name> remote

</pre>

Note that rclone runs a webserver on your local machine to collect the token as returned from Google if you use auto config mode. This only runs from the moment it opens your browser to the moment you get back the verification code. This is on '''http://127.0.0.1:53682/''' and this it may require you to unblock it temporarily if you are running a host firewall, or use manual mode.

==Usage==

This remote is called '''remote''' and can now be used like this:

See all the buckets in your project:

<pre>
rclone lsd remote:
</pre>

Make a new bucket:

<pre>
rclone mkdir remote:bucket
</pre>

List the contents of a bucket:

<pre>
rclone ls remote:bucket
</pre>

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

<pre>
rclone sync /home/local/directory remote:bucket
</pre>

==Modified time==

Google google cloud storage stores md5sums natively and rclone stores modification times as metadata on the object, under the “mtime” key in RFC3339 format accurate to 1ns.
