# rclone — The Swiss Army Knife of Cloud Storage ## When to Use Use this skill when you need rclone command-line cloud storage manager reference and usage guide. Use this skill whenever the user mentions rclone, or any task involving terminal-based cloud file operations such as upload, download, sync, copy, move, mount, or remote management. Triggers on S3-compatible storage,... Rclone is a command-line program to manage files on cloud storage. It is a feature-rich alternative to cloud vendors' web storage interfaces. Over 70 cloud storage products support rclone including S3 object stores, business & consumer file storage services, and standard transfer protocols. Rclone has powerful cloud equivalents to the unix commands rsync, cp, mv, mount, ls, ncdu, tree, rm, and cat. It preserves timestamps and verifies checksums at all times. Transfers can be restarted from the last good file. **Official resources:** [rclone.org](https://rclone.org/) | [Docs](https://rclone.org/docs/) | [Commands](https://rclone.org/commands/) | [Install](https://rclone.org/install/) | [Forum](https://forum.rclone.org/) | [GitHub](https://github.com/rclone/rclone) ## Prerequisites Before using rclone, verify

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill rclone-cli --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
