# RcloneView With Wasabi

[RcloneView](https://rcloneview.com/) is a desktop Graphical User Interface (GUI) tool that simplifies cloud and NAS file management, backup, and migration using the power of rclone. RcloneView gives you a visual, two‑pane Explorer for rclone. It lets you copy, sync, and migrate files between Wasabi and other cloud or local storage, without using the command line.

With RcloneView you can:

- Browse your Wasabi buckets like local folders
- Drag & drop files between local disk ↔ Wasabi or Wasabi ↔ other clouds (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.)
- Run one‑time transfers or schedule recurring sync jobs

This article details the procedure to configure RcloneView to interface with Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage.

## **Prerequisites**

- Active Wasabi Storage account.
- Wasabi bucket created and the access and secret keys available. See [Creating a Bucket](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/creating-a-bucket) and [Creating a New Access Key](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/creating-a-new-access-key) for details.
- Although RcloneView does not expose [Object Lock](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/immutability-compliance-and-object-locking) (immutability) configuration in its UI, it uses the embedded rclone engine, which can operate with buckets that already have Object Lock enabled on the Wasabi side. Object Lock policies (Governance/Compliance mode) must be configured directly within Wasabi prior to use. RcloneView fully supports standard S3 PUT/GET operations with Object-Lock-enabled buckets, but it does not modify Object Lock policies. See [Object Lock: Enabling](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/object-locking) for further details on the use of Object Lock.
- RcloneView version 1.0.0 or later.
- No additional RcloneView license is required (except for job scheduling as noted below).
- Outbound HTTPS (TCP port 443) access to Wasabi endpoints is required.

## **Download and install RcloneView​**

RcloneView is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

1. Go to the download page: [https://rcloneview.com/src/download.](https://rcloneview.com/src/download)
2. Choose the installer for your OS (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
3. Install and launch RcloneView.

## **Add Wasabi as a remote in RcloneView​**

## **Manage Files Between Local Disk or Other Clouds and Wasabi**

This section shows practical ways to move data between your local computer and Wasabi using RcloneView.

You can open:

- **Left pane**: local disk (for example `C:\` or a specific folder) or another cloud (such as Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.)
- **Right pane**: your Wasabi remote bucket

Then use drag & drop, folder comparison, or sync jobs depending on your workflow.

1. Drag & drop between Local and Wasabi
  1. In the left pane, open your **local folder** (e.g., `D:\Media`) or **cloud folder**.
  2. In the right pane, open your **Wasabi bucket/folder**.
  3. Select files or folders on the left.
  4. Drag them to the right pane and drop into the desired location.
  5. RcloneView starts a transfer job; progress appears in the Transfer tab.

For multi‑selection, right‑click actions, and more, see [File Management with RcloneView](https://rcloneview.com/support/howto/rcloneview-basic/browse-and-manage-remote-storage). See [Appendix A](/v1/docs/clone-rcloneview-with-wasabi#appendix-a-examples-of-copying-from-other-clouds-to-wasabi) for examples showing copying files from Google Drive and Dropbox to Wasabi.
2. Compare folders and copy changed files If you want to see **differences** before copying, use the **Compare** function. Typical use case: compare a local backup folder with a Wasabi backup folder.

1. In the left pane, open the **source folder** (e.g., local or another cloud).
2. In the right pane, open the **Wasabi destination folder**.
3. Click `Compare` in the top **Home** menu.
4. RcloneView marks:
  1. 
    - Files only on the left (source only)
    - Files only on the right (destination only)
    - Changed files (size, timestamp, or checksum differs)
5. Select the items you want to move and click **Copy →** (or **← Copy** for the reverse direction).

## **Sync Jobs Between Local Disk and Wasabi**

For repeatable backups or mirroring, use **Sync**. Sync makes the destination match the source.

There are three common patterns:

- **Instant Sync** (run once immediately)
- **Saved Sync Job** (re‑run when needed)
- **Scheduled Sync Job** (run automatically on a schedule)

> [!WARNING]
> ⚠️ Sync updates the destination to match the source; files that only exist in the destination can be deleted. Review the sync settings carefully before running.

### Instant Sync (one time)

1. Open the **source folder** in the left pane (for example, a local folder).
2. Open the **destination Wasabi folder** in the right pane.
3. Click `Sync` on the **Home** menu.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/Screenshot 2025-12-08 at 5.49.52 PM.png)

Then, in the **Sync** dialog:

1. In **Configure Storage**, confirm the source and destination.
2. Optionally adjust **Advanced Settings** or **Filtering Settings**.
3. Run a **Dry Run** first if you want to preview changes.
4. Click **Run** to start the sync.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/Screenshot 2025-12-09 at 11.12.08 AM.png)

### Save a Sync Job for Reuse

If you will run the same local → Wasabi backup regularly:

Configure a sync as above (source on the left, Wasabi destination on the right).

1. In the Sync dialog, choose **Save to Jobs** instead of running immediately.
2. Give the job a descriptive name like `SyncLocalToWasabi`.
3. Later, open **Job Manager** and run the job manually whenever you need an updated backup.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/Picture1(2).png)

On supported platforms (such as Windows), RcloneView can show a system notification when the job finishes.

- [Execute & Manage Jobs](https://rcloneview.com/support/howto/rcloneview-basic/execute-manage-job)

### Schedule automatic Wasabi backups (Job Scheduling)

To fully automate backups to Wasabi, schedule your sync job.

📌 **Job scheduling is a PLUS feature.** You need a [PLUS license](https://rcloneview.com/src/pricing.html) to enable scheduling.

Open **Job Manager** from the toolbar.

1. Select your Wasabi sync job (for example `LocalToWasabi_DailyBackup`) and click **Edit Job**, or create a new job from your current Explorer selection.
2. Go to **Step 4 (in the picture below): Scheduling**.
3. Enable **Run whenever time units ~** and set the schedule (for example, daily at 01:00).
4. Use **Simulate** to preview upcoming run times.
5. Save the job and keep RcloneView running; the job will execute automatically.

## **Use Mount to Work With Wasabi in Windows Explorer​ or MacOS Finder**

You can mount a Wasabi bucket as a **virtual drive or folder** on your system and then use Windows Explorer (or Finder on macOS) as usual.

Typical flow:

Make sure your Wasabi remote is configured and working.

1. Choose the Wasabi folder you want to mount.
2. Click the **Mount** icon in the upper‑right corner of the RcloneView Explorer.
3. Click the **Save and mount** button to start the mount.

After a few moments, a new drive or folder appears in your OS. Browsing that path reads and writes data directly from Wasabi through RcloneView/rclone.
