Modified builds of rclone for specific needs, with notes on which ones are still maintained.
For almost everyone the right choice is the upstream rclone release: it supports the most providers, receives security fixes and is what every tool on this site targets. The forks below exist for narrow reasons. The gclone family rotates Google Drive service accounts to work around per-account API quotas, fclone publishes prebuilt binaries quickly, and rclone_RD adds Real-Debrid as a backend for streaming cached torrents.
Forks lag behind upstream and some are already archived, so check the last release date before relying on one. If you are searching for an alternative to rclone rather than a fork of it, the closest comparable tools are the backup programs in the sync and backup section, which use rclone as one of several transports.
