<i class="fa fa-link"></i> Union
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The `union` remote provides a unification similar to UnionFS using other remotes.
|
|
|
|
Paths may be as deep as required or a local path,
|
|
eg `remote:directory/subdirectory` or `/directory/subdirectory`.
|
|
|
|
During the initial setup with `rclone config` you will specify the target
|
|
remotes as a space separated list. The target remotes can either be a local paths or other remotes.
|
|
|
|
The order of the remotes is important as it defines which remotes take precedence over others if there are files with the same name in the same logical path.
|
|
The last remote is the topmost remote and replaces files with the same name from previous remotes.
|
|
|
|
Only the last remote is used to write to and delete from, all other remotes are read-only.
|
|
|
|
Subfolders can be used in target remote. Asume a union remote named `backup`
|
|
with the remotes `mydrive:private/backup mydrive2:/backup`. Invoking `rclone mkdir backup:desktop`
|
|
is exactly the same as invoking `rclone mkdir mydrive2:/backup/desktop`.
|
|
|
|
There will be no special handling of paths containing `..` segments.
|
|
Invoking `rclone mkdir backup:../desktop` is exactly the same as invoking
|
|
`rclone mkdir mydrive2:/backup/../desktop`.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example of how to make a union called `remote` for local folders.
|
|
First run:
|
|
|
|
rclone config
|
|
|
|
This will guide you through an interactive setup process:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
No remotes found - make a new one
|
|
n) New remote
|
|
s) Set configuration password
|
|
q) Quit config
|
|
n/s/q> n
|
|
name> remote
|
|

|
|

Once configured you can then use `rclone` like this,
|
|
|
|
List directories in top level in `C:\dir1`, `C:\dir2` and `C:\dir3`
|
|
|
|
rclone lsd remote:
|
|
|
|
List all the files in `C:\dir1`, `C:\dir2` and `C:\dir3`
|
|
|
|
rclone ls remote:
|
|
|
|
Copy another local directory to the union directory called source, which will be placed into `C:\dir3`
|
|
|
|
rclone copy C:\source remote:source
