|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Paths are specified as `remote:container` (or `remote:` for the `lsd`
|
|
command.) You may put subdirectories in too, eg
|
|
`remote:container/path/to/dir`.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example of making a Microsoft Azure Blob Storage
|
|
configuration. For a remote called `remote`. First run:
|
|
|
|
rclone config
|
|
|
|
This will guide you through an interactive setup process:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
No remotes found - make a new one
|
|
n) New remote
|
|
s) Set configuration password
|
|
q) Quit config
|
|
n/s/q> n
|
|
name> remote
|
|

|
|
|
|
rclone lsd remote:
|
|
|
|
Make a new container
|
|
|
|
rclone mkdir remote:container
|
|
|
|
List the contents of a container
|
|
|
|
rclone ls remote:container
|
|
|
|
Sync `/home/local/directory` to the remote container, deleting any excess
|
|
files in the container.
|
|
|
|
rclone sync /home/local/directory remote:container
|
|
|
|
### --fast-list ###
|
|
|
|
This remote supports `--fast-list` which allows you to use fewer
|
|
transactions in exchange for more memory. See the [rclone
|
|
docs](/docs/#fast-list) for more details.
|
|
|
|
### Modified time ###
|
|
|
|
The modified time is stored as metadata on the object with the `mtime`
|
|
key. It is stored using RFC3339 Format time with nanosecond
|
|
precision. The metadata is supplied during directory listings so
|
|
there is no overhead to using it.
|
|
|
|
### Hashes ###
|
|
|
|
MD5 hashes are stored with blobs. However blobs that were uploaded in
|
|
chunks only have an MD5 if the source remote was capable of MD5
|
|
hashes, eg the local disk.
|
|
|
|
### Multipart uploads ###
|
|
|
|
Rclone supports multipart uploads with Azure Blob storage. Files
|
|
bigger than 256MB will be uploaded using chunked upload by default.
|
|
|
|
The files will be uploaded in parallel in 4MB chunks (by default).
|
|
Note that these chunks are buffered in memory and there may be up to
|
|
`--transfers` of them being uploaded at once.
|
|
|
|
Files can't be split into more than 50,000 chunks so by default, so
|
|
the largest file that can be uploaded with 4MB chunk size is 195GB.
|
|
Above this rclone will double the chunk size until it creates less
|
|
than 50,000 chunks. By default this will mean a maximum file size of
|
|
3.2TB can be uploaded. This can be raised to 5TB using
|
|
`--azureblob-chunk-size 100M`.
|
|
|
|
Note that rclone doesn't commit the block list until the end of the
|
|
upload which means that there is a limit of 9.5TB of multipart uploads
|
|
in progress as Azure won't allow more than that amount of uncommitted
|
|
blocks.
|
|
|
|
### Specific options ###
|
|
|
|
Here are the command line options specific to this cloud storage
|
|
system.
|
|
|
|
#### --azureblob-upload-cutoff=SIZE ####
|
|
|
|
Cutoff for switching to chunked upload - must be <= 256MB. The default
|
|
is 256MB.
|
|
|
|
#### --azureblob-chunk-size=SIZE ####
|
|
|
|
Upload chunk size. Default 4MB. Note that this is stored in memory
|
|
and there may be up to `--transfers` chunks stored at once in memory.
|
|
This can be at most 100MB.
|
|
|
|
### Limitations ###
|
|
|
|
MD5 sums are only uploaded with chunked files if the source has an MD5
|
|
sum. This will always be the case for a local to azure copy.
