Can I sync a seedbox with Google Drive?

What is rclone for seedboxes?

Rclone is a command-line tool that syncs files between your seedbox and cloud storage. You can mount cloud drives as local folders, copy files to the cloud automatically, and even encrypt transfers. Bytesized Hosting includes SSH access on all plans for rclone configuration.

What You Can Do with Cloud Sync

Mount Cloud Drives

Mount Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox directly on your seedbox. Plex and Jellyfin can stream from your cloud library as if it were local storage.

Automatic Backups

Schedule rclone to sync your media library to cloud storage automatically. Your content is backed up offsite without any manual intervention.

Expand Your Storage

Your seedbox storage is limited by your plan, but cloud storage is virtually unlimited. Use rclone to offload completed downloads to the cloud while keeping your seedbox lean.

Encrypted Transfers

Rclone supports client-side encryption. Files are encrypted before they leave your seedbox — your cloud provider can't read your content.

70+ Cloud Providers

Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, Wasabi, MEGA, pCloud — rclone supports over 70 cloud storage services.

SSH Access Included

Rclone runs from the command line over SSH. All Bytesized plans include SSH access — configure rclone, set up cron jobs, and automate your sync workflow.

How to Set Up Cloud Sync

SSH into your seedbox

All Bytesized plans include SSH access. Connect from your terminal or any SSH client.

Configure rclone

Run rclone config and authenticate with your cloud provider. Rclone guides you through the setup interactively.

Sync or mount

Use rclone sync to copy files to the cloud, or rclone mount to make cloud storage appear as a local folder on your seedbox.

Automate with cron

Schedule sync jobs to run automatically. New downloads get backed up to the cloud without you lifting a finger.

Why Bytesized for Cloud Sync?

SSH on Every Plan

Rclone requires command line access. All Bytesized plans include SSH — no special tier needed, no extra cost.

10 Gbit Transfers

Cloud sync runs at your seedbox's network speed, not your home connection. Upload terabytes to the cloud at data center speeds.

Combine with One-Click Apps

Rclone works alongside your Bytesized Panel apps. Sonarr downloads content, Plex streams it, and rclone backs it up — all on the same server.

Your Seedbox, Connected to the Cloud

Rclone + 70+ providers + 10 Gbit sync. Back up, expand, and connect.
