Paths are specified as remote:bucket (or remote: for the lsd
command.) You may put subdirectories in too, e.g. remote:bucket/path/to/dir.

Once you have made a remote (see the provider specific section above)
you can use it like this:

See all buckets

rclone lsd remote:

Make a new bucket

rclone mkdir remote:bucket

List the contents of a bucket

rclone ls remote:bucket

Sync /home/local/directory to the remote bucket, deleting any excess
files in the bucket.

rclone sync -i /home/local/directory remote:bucket

Configuration

Here is an example of making an s3 configuration for the AWS S3 provider.

Modified time

The modified time is stored as metadata on the object as
X-Amz-Meta-Mtime as floating point since the epoch, accurate to 1 ns.

If the modification time needs to be updated rclone will attempt to perform a server
side copy to update the modification if the object can be copied in a single part.
In the case the object is larger than 5Gb or is in Glacier or Glacier Deep Archive
storage the object will be uploaded rather than copied.

Note that reading this from the object takes an additional HEAD
request as the metadata isn't returned in object listings.

Reducing costs

Avoiding HEAD requests to read the modification time

By default, rclone will use the modification time of objects stored in
S3 for syncing. This is stored in object metadata which unfortunately
takes an extra HEAD request to read which can be expensive (in time
and money).

The modification time is used by default for all operations that
require checking the time a file was last updated. It allows rclone to
treat the remote more like a true filesystem, but it is inefficient on
S3 because it requires an extra API call to retrieve the metadata.

The extra API calls can be avoided when syncing (using rclone sync
or rclone copy) in a few different ways, each with its own
tradeoffs.

• --size-only
  • Only checks the size of files.
  • Uses no extra transactions.
  • If the file doesn't change size then rclone won't detect it has
    changed.
  • rclone sync --size-only /path/to/source s3:bucket
• --checksum
  • Checks the size and MD5 checksum of files.
  • Uses no extra transactions.
  • The most accurate detection of changes possible.
  • Will cause the source to read an MD5 checksum which, if it is a
    local disk, will cause lots of disk activity.
  • If the source and destination are both S3 this is the
    recommended flag to use for maximum efficiency.
  • rclone sync --checksum /path/to/source s3:bucket
• --update --use-server-modtime
  • Uses no extra transactions.
  • Modification time becomes the time the object was uploaded.
  • For many operations this is sufficient to determine if it needs
    uploading.
  • Using --update along with --use-server-modtime, avoids the
    extra API call and uploads files whose local modification time
    is newer than the time it was last uploaded.
  • Files created with timestamps in the past will be missed by the sync.
  • rclone sync --update --use-server-modtime /path/to/source s3:bucket

These flags can and should be used in combination with --fast-list -
see below.

If using rclone mount or any command using the VFS (eg rclone serve) commands then you might want to consider using the VFS flag
--no-modtime which will stop rclone reading the modification time
for every object. You could also use --use-server-modtime if you are
happy with the modification times of the objects being the time of
upload.

Avoiding GET requests to read directory listings

Rclone's default directory traversal is to process each directory
individually. This takes one API call per directory. Using the
--fast-list flag will read all info about the the objects into
memory first using a smaller number of API calls (one per 1000
objects). See the rclone docs for more details.

rclone sync --fast-list --checksum /path/to/source s3:bucket

--fast-list trades off API transactions for memory use. As a rough
guide rclone uses 1k of memory per object stored, so using
--fast-list on a sync of a million objects will use roughly 1 GiB of
RAM.

If you are only copying a small number of files into a big repository
then using --no-traverse is a good idea. This finds objects directly
instead of through directory listings. You can do a "top-up" sync very
cheaply by using --max-age and --no-traverse to copy only recent
files, eg

rclone copy --min-age 24h --no-traverse /path/to/source s3:bucket

You'd then do a full rclone sync less often.

Note that --fast-list isn't required in the top-up sync.

Avoiding HEAD requests after PUT

By default, rclone will HEAD every object it uploads. It does this to
check the object got uploaded correctly.

You can disable this with the --s3-no-head option - see
there for more details.

Setting this flag increases the chance for undetected upload failures.

Hashes

For small objects which weren't uploaded as multipart uploads (objects
sized below --s3-upload-cutoff if uploaded with rclone) rclone uses
the ETag: header as an MD5 checksum.

However for objects which were uploaded as multipart uploads or with
server side encryption (SSE-AWS or SSE-C) the ETag header is no
longer the MD5 sum of the data, so rclone adds an additional piece of
metadata X-Amz-Meta-Md5chksum which is a base64 encoded MD5 hash (in
the same format as is required for Content-MD5).

For large objects, calculating this hash can take some time so the
addition of this hash can be disabled with --s3-disable-checksum.
This will mean that these objects do not have an MD5 checksum.

Note that reading this from the object takes an additional HEAD
request as the metadata isn't returned in object listings.

Cleanup

If you run rclone cleanup s3:bucket then it will remove all pending
multipart uploads older than 24 hours. You can use the -i flag to
see exactly what it will do. If you want more control over the expiry
date then run rclone backend cleanup s3:bucket -o max-age=1h to
expire all uploads older than one hour. You can use rclone backend list-multipart-uploads s3:bucket to see the pending multipart
uploads.

Restricted filename characters

S3 allows any valid UTF-8 string as a key.

Invalid UTF-8 bytes will be replaced, as
they can't be used in XML.

The following characters are replaced since these are problematic when
dealing with the REST API:

Character	Value	Replacement
NUL	0x00	␀
/	0x2F	／

The encoding will also encode these file names as they don't seem to
work with the SDK properly:

File name	Replacement
.	．
..	．．

Multipart uploads

rclone supports multipart uploads with S3 which means that it can
upload files bigger than 5 GiB.

Note that files uploaded both with multipart upload and through
crypt remotes do not have MD5 sums.

rclone switches from single part uploads to multipart uploads at the
point specified by --s3-upload-cutoff. This can be a maximum of 5 GiB
and a minimum of 0 (ie always upload multipart files).

The chunk sizes used in the multipart upload are specified by
--s3-chunk-size and the number of chunks uploaded concurrently is
specified by --s3-upload-concurrency.

Multipart uploads will use --transfers * --s3-upload-concurrency *
--s3-chunk-size extra memory. Single part uploads to not use extra
memory.

Single part transfers can be faster than multipart transfers or slower
depending on your latency from S3 - the more latency, the more likely
single part transfers will be faster.

Increasing --s3-upload-concurrency will increase throughput (8 would
be a sensible value) and increasing --s3-chunk-size also increases
throughput (16M would be sensible). Increasing either of these will
use more memory. The default values are high enough to gain most of
the possible performance without using too much memory.

Buckets and Regions

With Amazon S3 you can list buckets (rclone lsd) using any region,
but you can only access the content of a bucket from the region it was
created in. If you attempt to access a bucket from the wrong region,
you will get an error, incorrect region, the bucket is not in 'XXX' region.

Authentication

There are a number of ways to supply rclone with a set of AWS
credentials, with and without using the environment.

The different authentication methods are tried in this order:

• Directly in the rclone configuration file (env_auth = false in the config file):
  • access_key_id and secret_access_key are required.
  • session_token can be optionally set when using AWS STS.
• Runtime configuration (env_auth = true in the config file):
  • Export the following environment variables before running rclone:
    • Access Key ID: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID or AWS_ACCESS_KEY
    • Secret Access Key: AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY or AWS_SECRET_KEY
    • Session Token: AWS_SESSION_TOKEN (optional)
  • Or, use a named profile:
    • Profile files are standard files used by AWS CLI tools
    • By default it will use the profile in your home directory (e.g. ~/.aws/credentials on unix based systems) file and the "default" profile, to change set these environment variables:
      • AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE to control which file.
      • AWS_PROFILE to control which profile to use.
  • Or, run rclone in an ECS task with an IAM role (AWS only).
  • Or, run rclone on an EC2 instance with an IAM role (AWS only).
  • Or, run rclone in an EKS pod with an IAM role that is associated with a service account (AWS only).

If none of these option actually end up providing rclone with AWS
credentials then S3 interaction will be non-authenticated (see below).

S3 Permissions

When using the sync subcommand of rclone the following minimum
permissions are required to be available on the bucket being written to:

• ListBucket
• DeleteObject
• GetObject
• PutObject
• PutObjectACL

When using the lsd subcommand, the ListAllMyBuckets permission is required.

Example policy:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Principal": {
                "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::USER_SID:user/USER_NAME"
            },
            "Action": [
                "s3:ListBucket",
                "s3:DeleteObject",
                "s3:GetObject",
                "s3:PutObject",
                "s3:PutObjectAcl"
            ],
            "Resource": [
              "arn:aws:s3:::BUCKET_NAME/*",
              "arn:aws:s3:::BUCKET_NAME"
            ]
        },
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": "s3:ListAllMyBuckets",
            "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::*"
        }
    ]
}

Notes on above:

1. This is a policy that can be used when creating bucket. It assumes
   that USER_NAME has been created.
2. The Resource entry must include both resource ARNs, as one implies
   the bucket and the other implies the bucket's objects.

For reference, here's an Ansible script
that will generate one or more buckets that will work with rclone sync.

Key Management System (KMS)

If you are using server-side encryption with KMS then you must make
sure rclone is configured with server_side_encryption = aws:kms
otherwise you will find you can't transfer small objects - these will
create checksum errors.

Glacier and Glacier Deep Archive

You can upload objects using the glacier storage class or transition them to glacier using a lifecycle policy.
The bucket can still be synced or copied into normally, but if rclone
tries to access data from the glacier storage class you will see an error like below.

2017/09/11 19:07:43 Failed to sync: failed to open source object: Object in GLACIER, restore first: path/to/file

In this case you need to restore
the object(s) in question before using rclone.

Note that rclone only speaks the S3 API it does not speak the Glacier
Vault API, so rclone cannot directly access Glacier Vaults.

When uploading files larger than upload_cutoff or files with unknown
size (e.g. from "rclone rcat" or uploaded with "rclone mount" or google
photos or google docs) they will be uploaded as multipart uploads
using this chunk size.

Note that "--s3-upload-concurrency" chunks of this size are buffered
in memory per transfer.

If you are transferring large files over high-speed links and you have
enough memory, then increasing this will speed up the transfers.

Rclone will automatically increase the chunk size when uploading a
large file of known size to stay below the 10,000 chunks limit.

Files of unknown size are uploaded with the configured
chunk_size. Since the default chunk size is 5 MiB and there can be at
most 10,000 chunks, this means that by default the maximum size of
a file you can stream upload is 48 GiB. If you wish to stream upload
larger files then you will need to increase chunk_size.

• Config: chunk_size
• Env Var: RCLONE_S3_CHUNK_SIZE
• Type: SizeSuffix
• Default: 5Mi

--s3-max-upload-parts

Maximum number of parts in a multipart upload.

This option defines the maximum number of multipart chunks to use
when doing a multipart upload.

This can be useful if a service does not support the AWS S3
specification of 10,000 chunks.

Rclone will automatically increase the chunk size when uploading a
large file of a known size to stay below this number of chunks limit.

• Config: max_upload_parts
• Env Var: RCLONE_S3_MAX_UPLOAD_PARTS
• Type: int
• Default: 10000

--s3-copy-cutoff

Cutoff for switching to multipart copy.

Any files larger than this that need to be server-side copied will be
copied in chunks of this size.

The minimum is 0 and the maximum is 5 GiB.

• Config: copy_cutoff
• Env Var: RCLONE_S3_COPY_CUTOFF
• Type: SizeSuffix
• Default: 4.656Gi

--s3-disable-checksum

Don't store MD5 checksum with object metadata.

Normally rclone will calculate the MD5 checksum of the input before
uploading it so it can add it to metadata on the object. This is great
for data integrity checking but can cause long delays for large files
to start uploading.

• Config: disable_checksum
• Env Var: RCLONE_S3_DISABLE_CHECKSUM
• Type: bool
• Default: false

--s3-shared-credentials-file

Path to the shared credentials file.

If env_auth = true then rclone can use a shared credentials file.

If this variable is empty rclone will look for the
"AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE" env variable. If the env value is empty
it will default to the current user's home directory.

Linux/OSX: "$HOME/.aws/credentials"
Windows:   "%USERPROFILE%\.aws\credentials"

• Config: shared_credentials_file
• Env Var: RCLONE_S3_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE
• Type: string
• Default: ""

--s3-profile

Profile to use in the shared credentials file.

If env_auth = true then rclone can use a shared credentials file. This
variable controls which profile is used in that file.

If empty it will default to the environment variable "AWS_PROFILE" or
"default" if that environment variable is also not set.

• Config: profile
• Env Var: RCLONE_S3_PROFILE
• Type: string
• Default: ""

--s3-session-token

An AWS session token.

• Config: session_token
• Env Var: RCLONE_S3_SESSION_TOKEN
• Type: string
• Default: ""

--s3-upload-concurrency

Concurrency for multipart uploads.

This is the number of chunks of the same file that are uploaded
concurrently.

If you are uploading small numbers of large files over high-speed links
and these uploads do not fully utilize your bandwidth, then increasing
this may help to speed up the transfers.

• Config: upload_concurrency
• Env Var: RCLONE_S3_UPLOAD_CONCURRENCY
• Type: int
• Default: 4

--s3-force-path-style

If true use path style access if false use virtual hosted style.

If this is true (the default) then rclone will use path style access,
if false then rclone will use virtual path style. See the AWS S3
docs
for more info.

Some providers (e.g. AWS, Aliyun OSS, Netease COS, or Tencent COS) require this set to
false - rclone will do this automatically based on the provider
setting.

• Config: force_path_style
• Env Var: RCLONE_S3_FORCE_PATH_STYLE
• Type: bool
• Default: true

--s3-v2-auth

If true use v2 authentication.

If this is false (the default) then rclone will use v4 authentication.
If it is set then rclone will use v2 authentication.

Use this only if v4 signatures don't work, e.g. pre Jewel/v10 CEPH.

• Config: v2_auth
• Env Var: RCLONE_S3_V2_AUTH
• Type: bool
• Default: false

--s3-use-accelerate-endpoint

If true use the AWS S3 accelerated endpoint.

See: AWS S3 Transfer acceleration

• Config: use_accelerate_endpoint
• Env Var: RCLONE_S3_USE_ACCELERATE_ENDPOINT
• Type: bool
• Default: false

--s3-leave-parts-on-error

If true avoid calling abort upload on a failure, leaving all successfully uploaded parts on S3 for manual recovery.

It should be set to true for resuming uploads across different sessions.

WARNING: Storing parts of an incomplete multipart upload counts towards space usage on S3 and will add additional costs if not cleaned up.

• Config: leave_parts_on_error
• Env Var: RCLONE_S3_LEAVE_PARTS_ON_ERROR
• Type: bool
• Default: false

--s3-list-chunk

Size of listing chunk (response list for each ListObject S3 request).

This option is also known as "MaxKeys", "max-items", or "page-size" from the AWS S3 specification.
Most services truncate the response list to 1000 objects even if requested more than that.
In AWS S3 this is a global maximum and cannot be changed, see AWS S3.
In Ceph, this can be increased with the "rgw list buckets max chunk" option.

• Config: list_chunk
• Env Var: RCLONE_S3_LIST_CHUNK
• Type: int
• Default: 1000

--s3-no-check-bucket

If set, don't attempt to check the bucket exists or create it.

This can be useful when trying to minimise the number of transactions
rclone does if you know the bucket exists already.

It can also be needed if the user you are using does not have bucket
creation permissions. Before v1.52.0 this would have passed silently
due to a bug.

• Config: no_check_bucket
• Env Var: RCLONE_S3_NO_CHECK_BUCKET
• Type: bool
• Default: false

--s3-no-head

If set, don't HEAD uploaded objects to check integrity.

This can be useful when trying to minimise the number of transactions
rclone does.

Setting it means that if rclone receives a 200 OK message after
uploading an object with PUT then it will assume that it got uploaded
properly.

In particular it will assume:

• the metadata, including modtime, storage class and content type was as uploaded
• the size was as uploaded

It reads the following items from the response for a single part PUT:

• the MD5SUM
• The uploaded date

For multipart uploads these items aren't read.

If an source object of unknown length is uploaded then rclone will do a
HEAD request.

Setting this flag increases the chance for undetected upload failures,
in particular an incorrect size, so it isn't recommended for normal
operation. In practice the chance of an undetected upload failure is
very small even with this flag.

• Config: no_head
• Env Var: RCLONE_S3_NO_HEAD
• Type: bool
• Default: false

--s3-no-head-object

If set, do not do HEAD before GET when getting objects.

• Config: no_head_object
• Env Var: RCLONE_S3_NO_HEAD_OBJECT
• Type: bool
• Default: false

--s3-encoding

This sets the encoding for the backend.

See the encoding section in the overview for more info.

• Config: encoding
• Env Var: RCLONE_S3_ENCODING
• Type: MultiEncoder
• Default: Slash,InvalidUtf8,Dot

--s3-memory-pool-flush-time

How often internal memory buffer pools will be flushed.

Uploads which requires additional buffers (f.e multipart) will use memory pool for allocations.
This option controls how often unused buffers will be removed from the pool.

• Config: memory_pool_flush_time
• Env Var: RCLONE_S3_MEMORY_POOL_FLUSH_TIME
• Type: Duration
• Default: 1m0s

--s3-memory-pool-use-mmap

Whether to use mmap buffers in internal memory pool.

• Config: memory_pool_use_mmap
• Env Var: RCLONE_S3_MEMORY_POOL_USE_MMAP
• Type: bool
• Default: false

--s3-disable-http2

Disable usage of http2 for S3 backends.

There is currently an unsolved issue with the s3 (specifically minio) backend
and HTTP/2. HTTP/2 is enabled by default for the s3 backend but can be
disabled here. When the issue is solved this flag will be removed.

See: https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/4673, https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/3631

• Config: disable_http2
• Env Var: RCLONE_S3_DISABLE_HTTP2
• Type: bool
• Default: false

--s3-download-url

Custom endpoint for downloads.
This is usually set to a CloudFront CDN URL as AWS S3 offers
cheaper egress for data downloaded through the CloudFront network.

• Config: download_url
• Env Var: RCLONE_S3_DOWNLOAD_URL
• Type: string
• Default: ""

Backend commands

Here are the commands specific to the s3 backend.

Run them with

rclone backend COMMAND remote:

The help below will explain what arguments each command takes.

See the "rclone backend" command for more
info on how to pass options and arguments.

These can be run on a running backend using the rc command
backend/command.

restore

Restore objects from GLACIER to normal storage

rclone backend restore remote: [options] [<arguments>+]

This command can be used to restore one or more objects from GLACIER
to normal storage.

Usage Examples:

rclone backend restore s3:bucket/path/to/object [-o priority=PRIORITY] [-o lifetime=DAYS]
rclone backend restore s3:bucket/path/to/directory [-o priority=PRIORITY] [-o lifetime=DAYS]
rclone backend restore s3:bucket [-o priority=PRIORITY] [-o lifetime=DAYS]

This flag also obeys the filters. Test first with -i/--interactive or --dry-run flags

rclone -i backend restore --include "*.txt" s3:bucket/path -o priority=Standard

All the objects shown will be marked for restore, then

rclone backend restore --include "*.txt" s3:bucket/path -o priority=Standard

It returns a list of status dictionaries with Remote and Status
keys. The Status will be OK if it was successful or an error message
if not.

[
    {
        "Status": "OK",
        "Path": "test.txt"
    },
    {
        "Status": "OK",
        "Path": "test/file4.txt"
    }
]

Options:

• "description": The optional description for the job.
• "lifetime": Lifetime of the active copy in days
• "priority": Priority of restore: Standard|Expedited|Bulk

list-multipart-uploads

List the unfinished multipart uploads

rclone backend list-multipart-uploads remote: [options] [<arguments>+]

This command lists the unfinished multipart uploads in JSON format.

rclone backend list-multipart s3:bucket/path/to/object

It returns a dictionary of buckets with values as lists of unfinished
multipart uploads.

You can call it with no bucket in which case it lists all bucket, with
a bucket or with a bucket and path.

{
  "rclone": [
    {
      "Initiated": "2020-06-26T14:20:36Z",
      "Initiator": {
        "DisplayName": "XXX",
        "ID": "arn:aws:iam::XXX:user/XXX"
      },
      "Key": "KEY",
      "Owner": {
        "DisplayName": null,
        "ID": "XXX"
      },
      "StorageClass": "STANDARD",
      "UploadId": "XXX"
    }
  ],
  "rclone-1000files": [],
  "rclone-dst": []
}

cleanup

Remove unfinished multipart uploads.

rclone backend cleanup remote: [options] [<arguments>+]

This command removes unfinished multipart uploads of age greater than
max-age which defaults to 24 hours.

Note that you can use -i/--dry-run with this command to see what it
would do.

rclone backend cleanup s3:bucket/path/to/object
rclone backend cleanup -o max-age=7w s3:bucket/path/to/object

Durations are parsed as per the rest of rclone, 2h, 7d, 7w etc.

Options:

• "max-age": Max age of upload to delete

{{< rem autogenerated options stop >}}

Anonymous access to public buckets

If you want to use rclone to access a public bucket, configure with a
blank access_key_id and secret_access_key. Your config should end
up looking like this:

[anons3]
type = s3
provider = AWS
env_auth = false
access_key_id =
secret_access_key =
region = us-east-1
endpoint =
location_constraint =
acl = private
server_side_encryption =
storage_class =

Then use it as normal with the name of the public bucket, e.g.

rclone lsd anons3:1000genomes

You will be able to list and copy data but not upload it.

Providers

AWS S3

This is the provider used as main example and described in the configuration section above.

AWS Snowball Edge

AWS Snowball is a hardware appliance used for transferring
bulk data back to AWS. Its main software interface is S3 object storage.

To use rclone with AWS Snowball Edge devices, configure as standard for an 'S3 Compatible Service'
be sure to set upload_cutoff = 0 otherwise you will run into authentication header issues as
the snowball device does not support query parameter based authentication.

eg.

[snowball]
type = s3
provider = Other
access_key_id = YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
secret_access_key = YOUR_SECRET_KEY
endpoint = http://[IP of Snowball]:8080
upload_cutoff = 0

Ceph

Ceph is an open-source, unified, distributed
storage system designed for excellent performance, reliability and
scalability. It has an S3 compatible object storage interface.

To use rclone with Ceph, configure as above but leave the region blank
and set the endpoint. You should end up with something like this in
your config:

[ceph]
type = s3
provider = Ceph
env_auth = false
access_key_id = XXX
secret_access_key = YYY
region =
endpoint = https://ceph.endpoint.example.com
location_constraint =
acl =
server_side_encryption =
storage_class =

If you are using an older version of CEPH, e.g. 10.2.x Jewel, then you
may need to supply the parameter --s3-upload-cutoff 0 or put this in
the config file as upload_cutoff 0 to work around a bug which causes
uploading of small files to fail.

Note also that Ceph sometimes puts / in the passwords it gives
users. If you read the secret access key using the command line tools
you will get a JSON blob with the / escaped as \/. Make sure you
only write / in the secret access key.

Eg the dump from Ceph looks something like this (irrelevant keys
removed).

{
    "user_id": "xxx",
    "display_name": "xxxx",
    "keys": [
        {
            "user": "xxx",
            "access_key": "xxxxxx",
            "secret_key": "xxxxxx\/xxxx"
        }
    ],
}

Because this is a json dump, it is encoding the / as \/, so if you
use the secret key as xxxxxx/xxxx it will work fine.

Dreamhost

Dreamhost DreamObjects is
an object storage system based on CEPH.

To use rclone with Dreamhost, configure as above but leave the region blank
and set the endpoint. You should end up with something like this in
your config:

[dreamobjects]
type = s3
provider = DreamHost
env_auth = false
access_key_id = your_access_key
secret_access_key = your_secret_key
region =
endpoint = objects-us-west-1.dream.io
location_constraint =
acl = private
server_side_encryption =
storage_class =

DigitalOcean Spaces

Spaces is an S3-interoperable object storage service from cloud provider DigitalOcean.

To connect to DigitalOcean Spaces you will need an access key and secret key. These can be retrieved on the "Applications & API" page of the DigitalOcean control panel. They will be needed when prompted by rclone config for your access_key_id and secret_access_key.

When prompted for a region or location_constraint, press enter to use the default value. The region must be included in the endpoint setting (e.g. nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com). The default values can be used for other settings.

Going through the whole process of creating a new remote by running rclone config, each prompt should be answered as shown below:

Storage> s3
env_auth> 1
access_key_id> YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
secret_access_key> YOUR_SECRET_KEY
region>
endpoint> nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com
location_constraint>
acl>
storage_class>

The resulting configuration file should look like:

[spaces]
type = s3
provider = DigitalOcean
env_auth = false
access_key_id = YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
secret_access_key = YOUR_SECRET_KEY
region =
endpoint = nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com
location_constraint =
acl =
server_side_encryption =
storage_class =

Once configured, you can create a new Space and begin copying files. For example:

rclone mkdir spaces:my-new-space
rclone copy /path/to/files spaces:my-new-space

IBM COS (S3)

Information stored with IBM Cloud Object Storage is encrypted and dispersed across multiple geographic locations, and accessed through an implementation of the S3 API.

12. Review the displayed configuration and accept to save the "remote" then quit. The config file should look like this

	[xxx]
	type = s3
	Provider = IBMCOS
	access_key_id = xxx
	secret_access_key = yyy
	endpoint = s3-api.us-geo.objectstorage.softlayer.net
	location_constraint = us-standard

	6)	Delete a file on remote.
		rclone delete IBM-COS-XREGION:newbucket/file.txt

Minio

Minio is an object storage server built for cloud application developers and devops.

It is very easy to install and provides an S3 compatible server which can be used by rclone.

To use it, install Minio following the instructions here.

When it configures itself Minio will print something like this

Endpoint:  http://192.168.1.106:9000  http://172.23.0.1:9000
AccessKey: USWUXHGYZQYFYFFIT3RE
SecretKey: MOJRH0mkL1IPauahWITSVvyDrQbEEIwljvmxdq03
Region:    us-east-1
SQS ARNs:  arn:minio:sqs:us-east-1:1:redis arn:minio:sqs:us-east-1:2:redis

Browser Access:
   http://192.168.1.106:9000  http://172.23.0.1:9000

Command-line Access: https://docs.minio.io/docs/minio-client-quickstart-guide
   $ mc config host add myminio http://192.168.1.106:9000 USWUXHGYZQYFYFFIT3RE MOJRH0mkL1IPauahWITSVvyDrQbEEIwljvmxdq03

Object API (Amazon S3 compatible):
   Go:         https://docs.minio.io/docs/golang-client-quickstart-guide
   Java:       https://docs.minio.io/docs/java-client-quickstart-guide
   Python:     https://docs.minio.io/docs/python-client-quickstart-guide
   JavaScript: https://docs.minio.io/docs/javascript-client-quickstart-guide
   .NET:       https://docs.minio.io/docs/dotnet-client-quickstart-guide

Drive Capacity: 26 GiB Free, 165 GiB Total

These details need to go into rclone config like this. Note that it
is important to put the region in as stated above.

env_auth> 1
access_key_id> USWUXHGYZQYFYFFIT3RE
secret_access_key> MOJRH0mkL1IPauahWITSVvyDrQbEEIwljvmxdq03
region> us-east-1
endpoint> http://192.168.1.106:9000
location_constraint>
server_side_encryption>

Which makes the config file look like this

[minio]
type = s3
provider = Minio
env_auth = false
access_key_id = USWUXHGYZQYFYFFIT3RE
secret_access_key = MOJRH0mkL1IPauahWITSVvyDrQbEEIwljvmxdq03
region = us-east-1
endpoint = http://192.168.1.106:9000
location_constraint =
server_side_encryption =

So once set up, for example, to copy files into a bucket

RackCorp Object Storage is an S3 compatible object storage platform from your friendly cloud provider RackCorp.
The service is fast, reliable, well priced and located in many strategic locations unserviced by others, to ensure you can maintain data sovereignty.

Before you can use RackCorp Object Storage, you'll need to "sign up" for an account on our "portal".
Next you can create an access key, a secret key and buckets, in your location of choice with ease.
These details are required for the next steps of configuration, when rclone config asks for your access_key_id and secret_access_key.

Your config should end up looking a bit like this:

[RCS3-demo-config]
type = s3
provider = RackCorp
env_auth = true
access_key_id = YOURACCESSKEY
secret_access_key = YOURSECRETACCESSKEY
region = au-nsw
endpoint = s3.rackcorp.com
location_constraint = au-nsw

Scaleway

Scaleway The Object Storage platform allows you to store anything from backups, logs and web assets to documents and photos.
Files can be dropped from the Scaleway console or transferred through our API and CLI or using any S3-compatible tool.

Scaleway provides an S3 interface which can be configured for use with rclone like this:

[scaleway]
type = s3
provider = Scaleway
env_auth = false
endpoint = s3.nl-ams.scw.cloud
access_key_id = SCWXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
secret_access_key = 1111111-2222-3333-44444-55555555555555
region = nl-ams
location_constraint =
acl = private
server_side_encryption =
storage_class =

SeaweedFS

SeaweedFS is a distributed storage system for
blobs, objects, files, and data lake, with O(1) disk seek and a scalable file metadata store.
It has an S3 compatible object storage interface. SeaweedFS can also act as a
gateway to remote S3 compatible object store
to cache data and metadata with asynchronous write back, for fast local speed and minimize access cost.

Assuming the SeaweedFS are configured with weed shell as such:

> s3.bucket.create -name foo
> s3.configure -access_key=any -secret_key=any -buckets=foo -user=me -actions=Read,Write,List,Tagging,Admin -apply
{
  "identities": [
    {
      "name": "me",
      "credentials": [
        {
          "accessKey": "any",
          "secretKey": "any"
        }
      ],
      "actions": [
        "Read:foo",
        "Write:foo",
        "List:foo",
        "Tagging:foo",
        "Admin:foo"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

To use rclone with SeaweedFS, above configuration should end up with something like this in
your config:

[seaweedfs_s3]
type = s3
provider = SeaweedFS
access_key_id = any
secret_access_key = any
endpoint = localhost:8333

So once set up, for example to copy files into a bucket

rclone copy /path/to/files seaweedfs_s3:foo

Limitations

rclone about is not supported by the S3 backend. Backends without
this capability cannot determine free space for an rclone mount or
use policy mfs (most free space) as a member of an rclone union
remote.
