Download

Get Windows, macOS and Ubuntu/Debian package on releases page.

All released binaries are signed with my PGP key.

ArchLinux users can install latest release from AUR repository: rclone-browser. It has been updated to this repo.

Other GNU/Linux users will need to build from source. Actually in my opinion for Linux it is the best option and is real easy. Below are detailed instructions.

Build instructions for Debian/Ubuntu Linux

Install dependencies sudo apt install git rclone g++ cmake qtbase5-dev
Clone source code from this repo git clone https://github.com/kapitainsky/RcloneBrowser.git
Go to source folder cd RcloneBrowser
Create new build folder next to src folder - mkdir build && cd build
Run cmake .. from build folder to create makefile
Run cmake --build . from build folder to create binary

Build instructions for openSUSE linux

Install dependencies sudo zypper install git cmake gcc-c++ rclone libQt5Core-devel libQt5Widgets-devel
Clone source code from this repo git clone https://github.com/kapitainsky/RcloneBrowser.git
Go to source folder cd RcloneBrowser
Create new build folder next to src folder - mkdir build && cd build
Run cmake .. from build folder to create makefile
Run cmake --build . from build folder to create binary

Build instructions for macOS

If you don't have Homebrew yet install it /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Install dependencies brew install git cmake rclone qt5
Set Qt environment variables export PATH="/usr/local/opt/qt/bin:$PATH" && export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/qt/lib" && export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/qt/include" && export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/qt/lib/pkgconfig". You can add this to your .bashrc (assuming you use bash) if you want to keep it persistent
Clone source code from this repo git clone https://github.com/kapitainsky/RcloneBrowser.git
Go to source folder cd RcloneBrowser
Create new build folder next to src folder - mkdir build && cd build
Run cmake .. from build folder to create makefile
Run cmake --build . from build folder to create binary
Go to yet another newly created build folder cd build. Your binary should be here
Package your binary with Qt libraries to create self-contained application macdeployqt rclone-browser.app -executable="rclone-browser.app/Contents/MacOS/rclone-browser" -qmldir=../src/. Without this step binary won't work without Qt installed

Build instructions for Windows

Get Visual Studio 2019 - you need "Desktop development with C++" module only
Install CMake
Install latest Qt v5 (64-bit) from Qt website. You only need "Qt 5.13.1 Prebuilt Components for MSVC 2017 64-bit" (MSVC 2017 64-bit)
Get rclone-browser source code. You either need to install git and clone it or download zip file from releases
Go to source folder cd RcloneBrowser
Create new build folder - mkdir build and go there cd build
run cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -DCMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES="Release" -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/c/Qt/5.13.1/msvc2017_64 .. && cmake --build . --config Release
run c:\Qt\5.13.1\msvc2017_64\bin\windeployqt.exe --no-translations --no-angle --no-compiler-runtime --no-svg ".\build\Release\RcloneBrowser.exe"
build\Release folder contains now RcloneBrowser.exe binary and all other files required to run it.

History

Being rclone-browser user for some time and got annoyed by small not working bits and pieces I decided for DYI approach and this is how this repo was created. Original repo (https://github.com/mmozeiko/RcloneBrowser) has not been touched for years and in the meantime rclone changed few things breaking some rclone-browser functionality.

I've looked around but could not find anything fully working. Some github users made progress in fixing and adding stuff so I've built upon it.

I used DinCahill's changes (https://github.com/DinCahill/RcloneBrowser) as a base of my version.

I have fixed whatever I found still not working and added few minor tweaks. I've recompiled and repackaged everything using latest Qt (5.13.1). This on its own fixed some issues and added new features like support for dark mode in macOS.
