S3Drive
Community / general
For all on-topic discussion about S3Drive or related storage providers.
In the Sync screen, when you press play on a stopped item, you're asked "Would you like to start sync process now or wait until schedule is met?" and your options are Cancel or Start. When asked "now or wait?" I'd expect to be able to answer Now and Wait. As it is now, when you tap Cancel it interpretes that as wait, but I'd expect a Cancel button to cancel the action I just initiated, i.e. pressing the play button. But the item doesn't return to stopped/disactivated state when tapping Cancel. So it seems Cancel should actually be labeled Wait.
Total storage space for one of my hosts is listed as 9 instead of 10 GB. It seems it's using GiB instead of GB and simply doing a math.floor() on that, hence misrepresenting the total by 10%.
When without internet connection, but with a VPN that reports "connected" (Proton VPN does this, no matter how long you've been offline; I can imagine local VPNs used for blocking certain types of traffic also do this), in most screens the loading spinner is permanently overlayed on the screen, which is also blurred when "Blur screen when loading" is enabled. The app is navigable but the back gesture doesn't work in the affected screens (using the UI to navigate back works fine).
The time picker for "Sync every x minutes" always opens at 30 minutes, regardless of the current setting (e.g. it's set to 1200 minutes, which is 20 hours, and you want to change it to 22 hours but you have to start from 30 minutes, which is especially cumbersome since the picker acts like a clock you have to forward manually)
. base that our filesize library is using, is 1024 instead of 1000 and there was a rounding issue as well. Expect this to be fixed in a next release.
Rclone initialization failed. Please contact support[...] which indicates that after multiple tries the initialization failed, then nothing to worry about.
My log is filled with tens or hundreds of entries like this one:
#230 Rclone (1/3) initialization failed. Error: MissingPluginException(No implementation found for method RcloneRPCBackground on channel kapsa/librclonemobile)
Is this to do with background syncing being a work in progress, or is it something else?
Last time when you reacted to my notes you said you added some feature requests to canny.io. Is it your intention that we create an account there and vote for the features we'd like to see?

"kmsEncryption":true in the json config, but may I also suggest writing server_side_encryption = aws:kms in the rclone config kmsEncryption is set to true in the config, then we should already be setting: server_side_encryption = aws:kms in the Rclone config.
Does S3Drive behave differently?
The issue that we're aware of is that we only display dialog which sets the: kmsEncryption value when you mount a drive (we ask that for AWS and iDrive only).
We need to fix that, so dialog is displayed also for Sync and other functionalities which internally use Rclone.
Even though I don't necessarily recommend modifying app's config, a temporary solution might be setting: kmsEncryption: true in the config (ideally when app is disabled) and then starting app.
What's your S3 provider by the way? server_side_encryption being set in the Rclone config.
Isn't what you finding?

It was indeed myself.
Each S3 provider has a slightly different billing model: https://docs.s3drive.app/setup/bucket/#s3
Just for start you can try free 10GB account at Backblaze, setup a bucket and connect from the app: https://docs.s3drive.app/setup/bucket/
If you were to store 125GB, you would pay approximately 0.125*$6 = 0.75 US$ per month based on current ($6
per TB/mo)
https://www.backblaze.com/cloud-storage/pricing
There are other things to watch out for, that is egress (if you were to download more than 3x125GB month = 375GB) or use a lot of API calls (e.g. run some backup syncing very frequently).
You can use S3Drive entirely for free and if you need more advanced features or encryption feel free to check our paid offering: https://s3drive.app/pricing 1 1Rclone initialization failed.

Couple questions: Does S3Drive support Filen and/or IceDrive?

rclone first (there is no streaming interface that we could use). rclone first (there is no streaming interface that we could use). 
S3Drive and the name that we've chosen back in 2022 probably doesn't help here.
As such S3Drive is a simple back-end for Rclone, technically in some ways it is a GUI that sits on top of Rclone, but that's our additional feature, not the core one.
The core one revolves around S3 support and storage plans will be available later this year.
We still plan to expand support for Rclone back-ends, including preview, thumbnails etc.
