Installation & Setup

Prerequisites

# Install rclone
sudo dnf install rclone

# Configure rclone with your cloud accounts
rclone config

# During rclone config, you'll set up remotes for:
# - OneDrive (name: onedrive)
# - Google Drive (name: gdrive)
# - Dropbox (name: dropbox)

Make Executable and Run

cd BASHparaphernalia/scripts/MTrclone
chmod +x MTrclone.sh
./MTrclone.sh

Rclone Configuration

Before running MTrclone.sh, configure rclone remotes for each cloud service:

rclone config

# Add new remote for OneDrive
name> onedrive
Type> onedrive
# Follow interactive prompts to authenticate

# Add new remote for Google Drive
name> gdrive
Type> drive
# Follow interactive prompts to authenticate

# Add new remote for Dropbox
name> dropbox
Type> dropbox
# Follow interactive prompts to authenticate

Note: Remote names must match: onedrive, gdrive, dropbox

Mount Points

MTrclone creates the following directory structure in your home folder:

$HOME/CloudStorage/
├── OneDrive/
├── GoogleDrive/
└── Dropbox/

Each directory is mounted and accessible via your file manager or terminal.

Dependencies

• Required: rclone (with configured cloud remotes)
• Optional: cowsay, lolcat (for visual feedback)

Troubleshooting

• Rclone not found: Ensure rclone is installed with sudo dnf install rclone
• Remote not configured: Run rclone config and add remotes named onedrive, gdrive, dropbox
• Mount fails: Check rclone logs with rclone ls onedrive: to verify remote access
• Permission denied: Ensure script is executable with chmod +x MTrclone.sh
• Already mounted: Unmount existing mounts before running again: fusermount -u ~/CloudStorage/OneDrive
