☁️ External Cloud Storage (rclone)

You can connect external cloud services (such as OneDrive, ProtonDrive, Google Drive, and many others) to your On My Disk node using the rclone WebDAV bridge.

Step 1: Install rclone

First, install rclone on your device:

sudo -v ; curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | sudo bash

Step 2: Configure a Remote

Configure your cloud storage in rclone by running:

rclone config

Follow the interactive prompts to set up your remote (e.g., name it my_cloud). For specific instructions on various providers like ProtonDrive or OneDrive, please refer to the official rclone documentation.

Step 3: Start WebDAV Service

Once the remote is configured, start the rclone WebDAV server on a local port (for example, 8080):

rclone serve webdav my_cloud: --addr 127.0.0.1:8080

(Tip: You may want to run this command in a tmux session or set it up as a systemd service to keep it running in the background).

Open the Connector Web UI (http://<your-device-ip-or-name>) and navigate to Settings. Go to the Backup / Sync tab and locate the External rclone WebDAV setting. Enter the port number you used (e.g., 8080). Your cloud storage will now be bridged and available as a storage device within your On My Disk account.
