Rclone

Rclone is an open-source command-line program to manage data migration from S3 object storage, file storage, and cloud storage solutions.

Migrate your data to IDrive® e2 Storage using Rclone. Create S3 Access Keys from the IDrive® e2 account and use them to establish a connection in Rclone.

If you have already installed rclone; for IDrive® e2 configuration follow below steps:

The command to find the rclone config file: $ rclone config file
Location: /home/username/.config/rclone/rclone.conf

Bucket with 'Default Encryption' enabled

[idrivee2]
type = s3
provider = IDrive
access_key_id = iOWVPj23cQdLzkxmO6jo
secret_access_key = z1TZYjiP1goYrtzfyyKyBfRN5O1sghNcX1xKn0R2
endpoint = y7s7.da.idrivee2-28.com
server_side_encryption = aws:kms

Bucket without 'Default Encryption' 

[idrivee2]
type = s3
provider = IDrive
access_key_id = iOWVPj23cQdLzkxmO6jo
secret_access_key = z1TZYjiP1goYrtzfyyKyBfRN5O1sghNcX1xKn0R2
endpoint = y7s7.da.idrivee2-28.com

If access key does not have all buckets access 

[idrivee2]
type = s3
provider = IDrive
access_key_id = iOWVPj23cQdLzkxmO6jo
secret_access_key = z1TZYjiP1goYrtzfyyKyBfRN5O1sghNcX1xKn0R2
endpoint = y7s7.da.idrivee2-28.com  
no_check_bucket = true

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Rclone checks for bucket creation permissions when uploading files:

  • If access key does not have ALL buckets access, you must add the following to your configuration (As the limited access key does not have bucket creation permissions): no_check_bucket = true Optionally instead of the config line, you may use the following flag: --s3-no-check-bucket
  • If default encryption is enabled on IDrive® e2 for the bucket, you may receive MD5 errors when uploading. As long as you are using the default encryption key (default behavior when enabled), your rclone config can add the following line: server_side_encryption = aws:kms

If Rclone not installed follow below steps:

  1. Follow the Rclone installation document.
