# rclone tree

List the contents of the remote in a tree like fashion.

## Synopsis


rclone tree lists the contents of a remote in a similar way to the
unix tree command.

For example

    $ rclone tree remote:path
    /
    ├── file1
    ├── file2
    ├── file3
    └── subdir
        ├── file4
        └── file5

    1 directories, 5 files

You can use any of the filtering options with the tree command (e.g.
`--include` and `--exclude`.  You can also use `--fast-list`.

The tree command has many options for controlling the listing which
are compatible with the tree command, for example you can include file
sizes with `--size`.  Note that not all of them have
short options as they conflict with rclone's short options.

For a more interactive navigation of the remote see the
[ncdu](/commands/rclone_ncdu/) command.
