|---|---|
| Windows | WinFsp |
| macOS | macFUSE |
| Linux | fuse (sudo apt install fuse on Debian/Ubuntu) |
💡 Tip: As an alternative to mounting, you can use the WebDAV serve feature.
- Launch RcloneTray - the app starts in your system tray
- Create a bookmark - click "New Bookmark" from the tray menu
- Select a provider - choose your cloud storage (S3, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.)
- Configure - enter your credentials and settings
- Use - mount, sync, or serve your remote storage from the tray menu
How do I use my own Rclone installation?
Go to Preferences → Rclone tab → uncheck "Use bundled Rclone".
How do I add authentication to serving?
Go to Preferences → Serving tab and enter your username and password.
Why can't I mount my remote?
Make sure you have the required FUSE driver installed for your OS. See Requirements.
