# Object Storage - Use Object Storage with Rclone

## Objective

[Rclone](https://rclone.org/) is a backup tool that can sync to and from various storage backends, and can be used on Windows, macOS and Linux. A detailed documentation is also available on the official Rclone website: [Rclone Official Documentation](https://rclone.org/docs/).

**This guide explains how to set up Rclone to synchronize your files to and from Object Storage.**

## Instructions

To configure Rclone, edit or create the `~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf` file and add this:

```bash
[<remote_name>]
type = s3
provider = Other
env_auth = false
access_key_id = <access_key>
secret_access_key = <secret_key>
endpoint = https://s3.<region_in_lowercase>.io.cloud.ovh.net
acl = private
region = <region_in_lowercase>
location_constraint = <region_in_lowercase>
```

Rclone is now ready for use.

**Command examples**

List all buckets:

```bash
rclone lsd <remote_name>:
```

Create a new bucket:

```bash
rclone mkdir <remote_name>:<bucket_name>
```

List the contents of a bucket:

```bash
rclone ls <remote_name>:<bucket_name>
```

Synchronise a local directory to a bucket:

```bash
rclone sync <source_directory> <remote_name>:<bucket_name>
```

Copy a file into a bucket:

```bash
rclone copy <file_path> <remote_name>:<bucket_name>
```

Download a file from a bucket:

```bash
rclone copy <remote_name>:<bucket_name>/<object_key> <destination_file_path>
```

You will find on the official Rclone website a detailed documentation of the possible actions: [Official Rclone documentation](https://rclone.org/docs/).
