rclone GUI

Browse, create and upload to Zata buckets from rclone's web interface.

rclone has a built-in web interface that runs on your own computer. Use it to connect Zata once, then browse your buckets, create buckets and upload files in the browser.

Start the GUI

Open PowerShell (Windows) or a terminal (Linux, macOS) and run:

rclone gui

rclone starts the web interface on your computer and opens it in your browser, already logged in. Keep the terminal open while you use it; press Ctrl+C there to stop it.

Windows PowerShell with the command rclone gui typed in

The rclone gui command exists in recent rclone versions. If your rclone does not know it, update rclone, or start the older web interface with rclone rcd --rc-web-gui.
