Basics

Polo uses rclone commands to query the cloud storage server and list directory contents. It does not use the FUSE filesystem provided by rclone mount as it is marked 'experimental' and seems to have various issues.
Directory contents are cached for sometime to improve browsing performance. You can trigger an immediate refresh using the Reload action in toolbar or by pressing F5 key.
Copying files and folders between cloud and local folders involves uploading and downloading of files. Speed of file transfer will depend on speed of internet connection.
Opening an item with a double-click will download a local copy of the file and open it. Any changes you make will NOT be saved. Copy the file to a local folder to edit it, and copy it back to update it.

Dependencies
