# 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, and so on.)
- Run one‑time transfers or schedule recurring sync jobs

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

## **Requirements**

- Active Wasabi Storage account.
- Wasabi bucket created; access and secret keys are available. See Creating a Bucket and Creating a New Access Key **y** 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 in Wasabi before 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 its use.
- 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​

RcloneView treats Wasabi as an S3‑compatible backend. You create a remote once and then reuse it for browsing, copying, syncing, and scheduled jobs.

1. Open the New Remote wizard
  1. Launch RcloneView.
  2. From the top menu, click **Remote,** then **+ New Remote,** or click the **+ tab** in the Explorer pane and choose **New Remote**.

3. Select the **Wasabi** provider tile.
4. Configure the connection:

> [!NOTE]
> This configuration example uses Wasabi’s ap-northeast-2 storage region. To use another Wasabi storage region, use the appropriate [Service URL for the Wasabi Storage Region where your bucket is located](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/what-are-the-service-urls-for-wasabi-s-different-storage-regions).
  1. Remote name: enter a clear name, such as MyWasabi.
  2. Access Key ID—paste your Wasabi access key.
  3. Secret Access Key—your Wasabi secret key.
  4. Endpoint—enter the Wasabi S3 endpoint (for example, s3.ap-northeast-2.wasabisys.com).
5. Click **Add Remote**.

## 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, and so on)
- Right pane: your Wasabi remote bucket

Use drag-and-drop, folder comparison, or sync jobs, depending on your workflow.

1. Drag and drop between Local and Wasabi
  1. In the left pane, open your local folder(for example, `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.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/Screenshot 2025-12-08 at 5.16.15 PM.png)

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 the folders and copy the changed files if you want to see the 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 (for example, 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.
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)

In the Sync dialog, complete the following.

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

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. 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). Use Simulate to preview upcoming run times.
4. 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 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.
