Hello there! I'm a new Cloud Commander user and discovered the project while looking for file managers to use with my personal server.
I noticed that rclone has already been recommended here in 2018 (#204), and that fully integrating rclone may not be feasible.
I think a good alternative would be to support FTP similar to the current Dropbox implementation. This would, in practice, enable support for all backends/protocols supported by rclone, since it can serve any of its remotes over FTP.
Hope this is worth taking a look at,
A grateful new user.

That's amazing idea for a pull request :), something like qusly this can be used for this purpose. Could you please tell me, are you talking about full
dropboxsupport which is enabled with--dropboxflag, and intend usingdropboxonly support on both panels?piratetub commentedon Jan 28, 2020
I honestly didn't realize the current Dropbox option disables support for the local filesystem.
I was thinking of local filesystem in one pane, remote in the second pane. Perhaps switching between local/remote views through a pane's context menu?

That's not possible right now :), but still a great idea

I see!
Even if simultaneous access is not currently possible, the FTP addition to the Dropbox scheme would still be a great addition. I can imagine spinning up 2 instances of
cloudcmdfor access to both local and remote files being a reasonable compromise.. :)coderaiser commentedon Feb 16, 2026
@piratetub do you have any progress on this?
