Examples

Add DropBox Remote

Expand to see an example to add DropBox Remote.

I've verified that the https://rclone.org/dropbox/ and https://rclone.org/drive/ procedures worked on HiPerGator. Here's dropbox remote setup:

  1. Start an Open OnDemand Desktop session: https://ood.rc.ufl.edu/pun/sys/dashboard/batch_connect/sys/bc_desktop/hipergator/session_contexts/new
  2. Once the session starts connect to it and open a terminal by clicking on its icon.
  3. Use 'New > Open Tab' menu option or 'Ctrl+Shift+T' key combo in the terminal to make sure you have two tabs to start a web browser
    • Tab1:
      • module load rclone
    • Tab2:
      • module load ubuntu firefox
  4. Follow the https://rclone.org/dropbox/ procedure. Note that the ubuntu module has chrome and firefox browsers, so the web authentication part of defining a remote can be done by pasting the generated link into it.

Tab1:

$ rclone config
Current remotes:
