Introduction

Thank you for choosing Viento! This program is designed to send your files through the clouds with ease. Viento allows you to automatically copy files to and from local and remote directories, so all your files across your cloud services and on your local machines stay up-to-date! Here are just some examples of what Viento can do:

  • Copy your music files from your Amazon Drive to Microsoft OneDrive every 2 hours.
  • Sync your Google Photos with your desktop every 10 minutes.
  • Backup your entire Microsoft OneDrive onto a local backup drive every 24 hours.
  • Save your dotfiles to Google Drive every 8 hours.
  • Keep Dropbox files up-to-date with Google Drive files.

NOTE: No longer being supported. I made this program over the summer when I still used Arch Linux, but I have since switched distros and my needs have changed.

History and Purpose

I made Viento because I wanted to keep files synced between my Arch Linux desktop and my Chromebook with Google Drive, however I found that Google Drive did not officially support for Linux (despite ChomeOS being based off of Linux?). Some paid solutions existed to help me sync my files, but after more research I chose Rclone, a FOSS, CLI alternative. With Rclone, whenever I wanted to sync my files I would have to run a Rclone command--I wanted something automatic, akin to what Windows users enjoy with Google Drive support. Instead of giving up, I decided to make what I needed! Viento is the solution to my problem.

Viento is the first piece of software I've ever developed and so it is surely shipped with some imperfections. My goal is to actively support and develop this software for as long as necessary, so If you find any bugs, please report them. I want to build Viento into a stable, useful piece of software that is tried and trusted among the community.
