Donations help keep the rclone project running as free open source

Maintaining rclone is a lot of work - easily a **full time job** for
|
2020-05-23 00:46:05 +08:00
|
|
|
me. Nothing stands still in the world of cloud storage so rclone needs
|
|
|
|
|
constant attention to stay in good working order.

I and my other contributors love doing the work and we'd like to spend
|
|
|
|
|
more time doing it - your support helps make that possible.

|
Thank you :-)

|
If you are a personal user and you would like to support the project
|
|
|
|
|
with sponsorship as a way of saying thank you then that would be most
|
2020-05-22 19:22:52 +08:00
|
|
|
appreciated {{< icon "fa fa-heart heart" >}}

## Business users
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If your business distributes rclone as part of its products (which the
|
|
|
|
|
generous MIT licence allows) or uses it internally then it would make
|
|
|
|
|
business sense to sponsor the rclone project to ensure that the
|
|
|
|
|
project you rely on stays healthy and well maintained.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you run one of the cloud storage providers that rclone supports and
|
|
|
|
|
rclone is driving revenue your way then you know it makes sense to
|
2020-05-22 19:22:52 +08:00
|
|
|
sponsor the project {{< icon "far fa-smile" >}}

Note that GitHub sponsors will provide proper tax invoices appropriate
|
|
|
|
|
for your country.

## Monthly donations
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Monthly donations help keep rclone development sustainable in the long
|
|
|
|
|
run so this is our preferred option. A small amount every month is
|
2020-05-25 14:14:50 +08:00
|
|
|
much better for us than a one off donation as it allows us to plan for
|
2020-05-21 17:57:04 +08:00
|
|
|
the future.

## One off donations
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you don't want to contribute monthly then of course we'd love a one
|
|
|
|
|
off donation.
