Rclone is a command-line tool for synchronizing files and directories to and from various cloud storage providers, as well as local file systems. It supports common operations such as uploading, downloading, and syncing files, as well as more advanced features such as server-side file modification times, partial syncs, and more.

How to configure rclone to work with Telnyx Storage

  2. Open your terminal. Run the command rclone config to create a new configuration file for Telnyx Storage

  3. For the first prompt, choose option n to create a new remote. Hit “Enter” to continue

  4. For Enter name for new remote, type in any name that you wish! Hit “Enter” to continue

  9. For Option secret_access_key, the secret access key is not used by Telnyx Storage. However rclone will complain if this field is left empty. Type out anything you want here, as long as it doesn't include spaces, quoting, or special characters of any kind.
