Setup¶

In order to use non-S3 provider with S3Drive on either mobile or desktop you would normally have to configure it using: rclone config first. Rclone is available on your desktop after installing Rclone.

We recommend you to follow detailed config instructions for each respective back-end: https://rclone.org/docs/

On desktop your configured back-ends via Rclone command, will be automatically selectable from the S3Drive client.

On mobile you will need to import data that you export from your Rclone where you've setup respective back-ends. In order to export data from Rclone use: rclone config dump command and then import it on S3Drive Profiles page.

Username/password setup¶

Connection to some providers (e.g. Proton Drive) can be made using just username and password in which case such config can be generated by hand without Rclone.

Cloud providers configuration¶

For most back-ends you'll want to generate configuration using: rclone config command and back-ends specific instructions: https://rclone.org/docs/

As an example, for Google Drive you type: rclone config, then type: n (new back-end), give name, e.g.: myGoogleFiles, type drive (that refers to Google Drive) and then answer questions or if you don't know the answer for simplified setup click enter multiple times until your browser opens asking you to give permissions to Rclone. Once you're done type: rclone config dump, copy the generated configuration and paste into S3Drive.

OAuth2¶

Providers using OAuth, that is Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox and pCloud at least, do require setup through Rclone. The resulting config will look similar to this.

Google Drive¶

"gdrive": {
    "scope": "drive",
    "team_drive": "",
    "token": "{\"access_token\":\"...WBB4OKuxg0171...\",\"token_type\":\"Bearer\",\"refresh_token\":\"1//-648XdljxqA...\",\"expiry\":\"2023-12-21T15:05:42.0006717+01:00\"}",
    "type": "drive"
}

pCloud¶

"pcloud": {
  "hostname": "eapi.pcloud.com",
  "token": "{\"access_token\":\"WGI5ZDnONB9374k\",\"token_type\":\"bearer\",\"expiry\":\"0001-01-01T00:00:00Z\"}",
  "type": "pcloud"
}

Password based¶

Proton drive¶

For Proton you can either use below configuration (you'll need to paste your username and password) or follow: rclone config procedure.

"proton": {
  "type": "protondrive",
  "username": "your@email.de",
  "password": "yourPassword"
}

Common protocols configuration¶

WebDav¶

"webdav": {
    "type": "webdav",
    "url": "http://127.0.0.1:8080",
    "user": "username",
    "vendor": "other"
}

SFTP¶

  "sftp": {
    "host": "127.0.0.1",
    "user": "username",
    "pass": "X5yCyyN821cdHm0pLvfeX81Tn7sHtA",
    "port": "22",
    "type": "sftp"    
}

For password generation see: password obscure.

S3¶

"s3": {
    "access_key_id": "<accessKeyId>",
    "secret_access_key": "<secret>",
    "endpoint": "https://endpoint",
    "provider": "Other",
    "region": "us-east-1",
    "type": "s3"
},

FTP¶

"ftp": {
    "host": "ftp.dlptest.com",
    "pass": "2HuK7wJSQJDA8rP2mqIKHrwwFtsPoD6FCQYh4q_iJEvs_bSiJQBhoHA",
    "type": "ftp",
    "user": "dlpuser"
}

SMB¶

"smb": {
    "host": "smb.hostname.com",
    "pass": "<obscuredPass>",
    "type": "smb",
    "user": "usersomething"
}

Client-side encryption¶

S3¶

Enable Rclone compatible E2E encryption from S3Drive settings.
Alternatively you can set up S3 by importing: config and wrapping it around crypt.
Refer to our existing documentation.

Other protocols/providers¶

In order to setup encryption you'll need have to setup your back-end as usual and then point crypt back-end to the location of your unencrypted back-end. You can configure crypt using standard: rclone config command, alternatively you can generate config manually. Please refer to Rclone crypt.

Manual setup¶

Password provided in the configuration file must be obscured.

On Linux/Mac: echo "YourPlaintextPassword" | rclone obscure -

On Windows: PowerShell -Command "'YourPlaintextPassword' | rclone obscure -"

Copy out the generated string and paste it inside your crypt config.

Example

{"pcloudEncrypted": {
    "password": "obscuredPassword",
    "remote": "pcloud:myEncryptedFolder",
    "type": "crypt"
}}

If you've provided: pcloud: instead of pcloud:myEncryptedFolder in the above example you would set up encryption globally not just in myEncryptedFolder

Multiple back-ends¶

{
    "pcloud": {
        "hostname": "eapi.pcloud.com",
        "token": "{\"access_token\":\"WGI5ZDnONB9374k\",\"token_type\":\"bearer\",\"expiry\":\"0001-01-01T00:00:00Z\"}",
        "type": "pcloud"
    },
    "pcloudEncrypted": {
        "password": "obscuredPassword",
        "remote": "pcloud:myEncryptedFolder",
        "type": "crypt"
    },
    "proton": {
        "type": "protondrive",
        "username": "your@email.de",
        "password": "yourPassword"
    }
}
