Swift
Swift refers to Openstack Object Storage. Commercial implementations of that being:
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 swift configuration. First run
rclone config
This will guide you through an interactive setup process.
No remotes found - make a new one
n) New remote
q) Quit config
n/q> n

This remote is called remote and can now be used like this
See all containers
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
Specific options
Here are the command line options specific to this cloud storage system.
--swift-chunk-size=SIZE
Above this size files will be chunked into a _segments container. The default for this is 5GB which is its maximum value.
Modified time
The modified time is stored as metadata on the object as
X-Object-Meta-Mtime as floating point since the epoch accurate to 1
ns.
This is a defacto standard (used in the official python-swiftclient amongst others) for storing the modification time for an object.
