Best cloud storage services with CLI for Bedrock Linux: (Comparison)

Introduction

Bedrock Linux is a meta-distribution allowing you to mix and match components from multiple Linux distributions. When it comes to cloud storage, having a reliable command-line interface (CLI) client can streamline backups, scripts and automation. This article explores the best cloud storage providers offering native or third-party CLIs on Linux, with a focus on Bedrock Linux compatibility.

Top Recommended Cloud Storage for Bedrock Linux

• pCloud
• MEGA
• Proton Drive
• Filen
• Tresorit
• Icedrive
• Amazon S3
• Backblaze B2

Comparison Table

Which Service to Choose?

• Budget-conscious: Backblaze B2 or Amazon S3 (low per-GB cost).
• Privacy-focused: MEGA, Proton Drive, Tresorit (end-to-end encryption).
• Large storage: Icedrive 1 TB plan or pCloud Lifetime.
• S3-compatible workflows: Amazon S3 or Backblaze B2 (native API).
• Easy GUI CLI: pCloud, Icedrive, MEGA (official clients).

Using Each Service with CLI on Bedrock Linux

pCloud

Install the official client and mount your drive via FUSE:

# Download and install pcloudcc
wget https://downloads.pcloud.com/pcloudcc/debian/pcloudcc_latest_amd64.deb
sudo apt install ./pcloudcc_latest_amd64.deb

# Authenticate and mount
pcloudcc --username your@email.com --password YourPass --mountpoint ~/pcloud
  

Typical issues:

• “FUSE not found” rarr install libfuse2 or fuse3 on Bedrock.
• Mount permissions rarr add your user to the fuse group.

MEGA (megacmd)

megacmd provides both an interactive shell and direct commands:

# On Debian-based layers
sudo apt install megacmd

# Login
mega-login your@email.com YourPass

# Download a folder
mega-get /Root/MyFolder ~/Downloads/MyFolder

# Sync local → remote
mega-sync ~/Projects /Root/Backups/Projects
  

Common pitfalls:

• Rate limits if you script too many concurrent transfers.
• “Session expired” — re-run mega-login.

Proton Drive (community CLI)

Use pip to install proton-drive-cli:

pip install proton-drive-cli

# Initialize and login
proton-drive-cli init
proton-drive-cli login --username you@proton.me

# List files
proton-drive-cli ls

# Upload
proton-drive-cli upload local.txt /remote-folder/
  

Watch out for:

• Token expiration — redo login.
• CLI is unofficial features may lag behind web.

Filen

Filen’s Python-based CLI is available via pip:

pip install filen-cli

# Configure
filen-cli configure
# Follow prompts for email  API key

# Upload a file
filen-cli upload file.iso /Backups/
  

Notes:

• Ensure Python 3.8 is available in your Bedrock environment.
• Network timeouts—use --retry flags if needed.

Tresorit

Official CLI for business accounts:

sudo dpkg -i tresorit-cli_.deb

# Authenticate via link
tresorit-cli login

# Sync a local folder
tresorit-cli sync --local ~/Work --remote /Tresors/Work
  

Typical errors:

• “Not authorized” — confirm your account has CLI access.
• FUSE errors — install and enable fuse.

Icedrive

Icedrive offers an AppImage and CLI package:

# Download AppImage and make executable
wget https://github.com/IcedriveOfficial/cli/releases/download/v1.0/icedrive-linux.AppImage
chmod  x icedrive-linux.AppImage

# Login and mount
./icedrive-linux.AppImage login you@youremail.com
./icedrive-linux.AppImage mount ~/icedrive
  

Watch for:

• Kernel FUSE support — ensure modprobe fuse works.
• AppImage sandboxing use --no-sandbox if blocked.

Amazon S3 (awscli)

The AWS CLI integrates with S3:

# Install
sudo apt install awscli

# Configure
aws configure
# Enter access key, secret key, region

# Sync local to S3
aws s3 sync ~/photos s3://my-bucket/photos
  

Points to note:

• IAM permissions must include s3:PutObject, s3:GetObject.
• Multipart uploads for large files may require --multipart-chunksize-mb.

Backblaze B2 (b2 CLI)

Backblaze’s official CLI is simple and script-friendly:

# Install via pip
pip install b2

# Authorize
b2 authorize-account YOUR_APP_KEY_ID YOUR_APP_KEY

# Create bucket
b2 create-bucket mybucket allPrivate

# Upload a file
b2 upload-file mybucket local.tar.gz backups/local.tar.gz
  

Common issues:

• “Too many requests” — throttle your script or use exponential backoff.
• Local clock skew #8212 B2 rejects auth if system time is off.

Conclusion

For Bedrock Linux, the choice of cloud storage CLI depends on your priorities: privacy, cost, performance or scripting features. MEGA and Proton Drive shine for encrypted end-to-end sync, while AWS S3 and Backblaze B2 offer rock-solid API compatibility for large data pipelines. pCloud, Icedrive and Filen provide balance between usability and features. Ensure your Bedrock setup includes required FUSE modules, language runtimes (Python, Node) and groups for mounting. With these CLIs in place, you’ll achieve a seamless, scriptable cloud workflow on Bedrock Linux.
