Type (or copy and paste) this into a text editor and save it to your computer. We’re using this as a basic form of off-site backup.

This is a one-way copy to the cloud it isn’t a two-way synchronization between your Google Drive and your local computer-although rclone can do that. The command we’re going to look at below copies files from your local computer to your Google Drive. That’s great, but it does mean there are a lot of options.

The rclone application is very feature-rich. At the “Yes, Edit, Delete” menu type “y” and then press “Enter.”Īt the final menu, type “q” and press “Enter.”
