Using Rclone to Access Dropbox Cloud Storage on Elzar
Rclone is a powerful tool that allows you to manage files on cloud storage from the command line. It can be used to sync, copy, move, delete, check, and mount over 70 cloud storage products including Dropbox, AWS S3, OneDrive, Google Drive, etc. Rclone supports a wide variety of features (e.g., compression, chunking, hashing).
Rclone is available on bamdev1 and bamdev2. It will be necessary to configure Rclone in a remote/headless configuration for each cloud provider. Comprehensive documentation can be found [here](https://rclone.org/docs/).
