I have little to know command line skills and rclone just isn't
working for me. Is there an alternative that may be easy for me to
use. I just want to have some cloud storage accessible as a mount on
my mac mini I use as a server so that I can use it for access for
software like roon, kodi etc.

That's an extremely vague question since you fail to mention what
cloud storage you mean. Also what did you try with recline and what
didn't work? There are other fuse drivers for GDrive and other cloud
storage but k doubt there are "easier" to set up.

i'm not scared of the command line but chatgpt (or other ai) is great
for things like this

> little to know command line skills

sorry I'm in a crabby mood today but I have to say it's not just
command line skills that are the problem

downvotes welcome; I deserve them for this

Write your code and what you would like to do and someone would help
you. Rclone is rock solid / Restic also ;-)

Command line skills for Rclone? It's literally just a couple of lines
to install it like everything else, and the setup process is fully
guided

The lack of details / specifics is very difficult to help you.
Especially in this forum where a majority of the people here use
rclone for years without issue.
Try posting your cli string and what you’re trying to do (not with
passwords shown or specific ip’s) and there’s likely someone here that
can help.

well its not really. For instance i didnt know remote: in the command
line meant change it to 'theactualnameofyourfuckingremote:' and not
remote:path/to/files


sooo there you go.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
ceefaxer · 2023-10-13 22:14

well there you go. I have no idea what a cli string is. With some
jiggery pokery in chatgpt I can now see what its doing, have it
running, and still would like an alternative, but I'll find it myself.


I think its quite specific. I didnt want to use rclone as I dont know
what I'm doing. Is their something similar for stupid people.  I have
it working, Its going to be a nightmare everytime i ever have to use
terminal so wanted something else. I'll find my advice eleswhere,
rather than this hell hole.

nothing. I have no understanding of command line, so everytime I want
to do something I take an hour reading what I need to do, then failing
at what i need to do. It's not the program, its my knowledge of how to
use these things.
