If you already use rclone, you can import your rclone.conf file to automatically create secrets and locations in DataRaven — no manual re-entry required.

Prerequisites

  • A DataRaven account with Admin or Owner role on the team
  • An existing rclone.conf file (usually at ~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf)

Supported Providers

The importer supports object storage remotes:
rclone typeDataRaven provider
s3 (AWS)AWS S3
s3 (Cloudflare)Cloudflare R2
s3 (Wasabi)Wasabi
s3 (Tigris)Tigris
s3 (Other)S3 Compatible
azureblobAzure Blob Storage
gcsGoogle Cloud Storage
b2Backblaze B2
Remotes using non-object-storage types (Google Drive, Dropbox, SFTP, etc.) are automatically skipped with a friendly message — they won’t cause errors.

Step 1: Upload Your Config

1

Open the importer

In the dashboard, navigate to Import rclone.conf from the sidebar.
2

Upload the file

Drag and drop your rclone.conf file onto the upload area, or click to browse. The file is parsed on the server — credentials are not stored at this stage.
3

Continue to review

Click Continue to parse the file and preview what will be imported.

Step 2: Review and Edit

After parsing, you’ll see a breakdown of your remotes:
  • Ready to import — Recognized remotes with their mapped provider type and detected credentials
  • Skipped — Recognized but unsupported types (e.g., Google Drive)
  • Errors — Remotes that couldn’t be parsed (missing fields, unknown types)
For each importable remote you can:
  • Edit the name — Change the display name for the secret and location
  • Set the bucket name — Required for all remotes (enter your bucket or container name)
  • Edit region and endpoint — Adjust if needed
  • Deselect — Uncheck any remote you don’t want to import
Every selected remote requires a bucket or container name. The importer will not proceed until all selected remotes have one.

Step 3: Confirm Import

Click Import to create resources. For each selected remote, two resources are created:
  1. A Secret — Credentials are encrypted and stored in AWS SSM Parameter Store
  2. A Location — Linked to the new secret, ready to use in tasks
Remotes are processed independently. If one fails, the others still succeed and any partially created resources are cleaned up automatically.

What’s Next?

Once your locations are imported, you can immediately use them in tasks.

Set up sync, copy, or move operations between your imported locations.
