For pure CLI and multi-cloud support: Rclone is unbeatable.
For privacy-focused, zero-knowledge storage: Proton Drive, Filen, or Icedrive.
For budget or consumer use with generous free tier: MEGA (20 GB) or Filen (20 GB).
If you already use AWS or Google services: integrate via AWS CLI or gdrive.

Installation CLI Usage

1. pCloud (pcloudcc)

Install pcloudcc for OpenMamba (requires EPEL or manual RPM dependency resolution):

sudo urpmi libcurl-devel fuse-devel
wget https://download.pcloud.com/linux/pcloudcc-2.0.4-1.x86_64.rpm
sudo urpmi pcloudcc-2.0.4-1.x86_64.rpm

Authenticate and start daemon:

pcloudcc --daemon amp
pcloudcc --username you@example.com --password yourpass

Mount remote drive:

pcloudcc -o allow_root ~/pCloudDrive

Typical Problems: FUSE kernel headers missing solve by installing kernel-devel matching your kernel.

2. MEGA (MEGAcmd)

Download and install MEGAcmd:

rpm --import https://mega.nz/keys/MEGA_public_key.asc
echo [MEGA]
name=MEGA
baseurl=https://mega.nz/linux/MEGAsync/rpm/opensuse_15.4/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://mega.nz/keys/MEGA_public_key.asc  sudo tee /etc/zypp/repos.d/mega.repo
sudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper install megacmd

mega-login you@example.com yourpassword
mega-mount /mnt/mega

Typical Problems: SELinux profile may block FUSE use setenforce 0 or adjust policies.

3. Proton Drive (protondrive-cli)

Install via pip:

sudo pip3 install protondrive-cli

Configure and sync:

protondrive-cli login
protondrive-cli sync ~/MyFolder remote:MyFolder

Typical Problems: Two-factor authentication use protondrive-cli auth --2fa.

4. Filen (filen-cli)

Install from PyPI:

sudo pip3 install filen-cli

filen login
filen upload /path/to/file.txt /remote/path/
filen ls /remote/path/

Typical Problems: API rate-limits add --retry flags or slow down uploads.

5. Tresorit via WebDAV

Tresorit does not have an official CLI but exposes WebDAV:

sudo urpmi davfs2
sudo mkdir /mnt/tresorit
sudo mount -t davfs https://dav.tresorit.com/ /mnt/tresorit

Enter credentials when prompted.

Typical Problems: WebDAV timeouts edit /etc/davfs2/davfs2.conf to increase timeout.

6. Icedrive (icedrive-cli)

Download AppImage or RPM:

wget https://icedrive.net/downloads/Icedrive_1.5.0_x86_64.AppImage
chmod  x Icedrive_1.5.0_x86_64.AppImage
sudo ./Icedrive_1.5.0_x86_64.AppImage --install

icedrive login you@example.com
icedrive mount ~/Icedrive

Typical Problems: Kernel FUSE module missing load it via modprobe fuse.

7. Rclone

Install from official script:

curl https://rclone.org/install.sh  sudo bash

Configure and use:

rclone config      # follow interactive prompts
rclone ls remote:  # list files
rclone sync /data remote:backup --progress

Typical Problems: Missing dependencies for mount install fuse and add user to fuse group.

Conclusion

OpenMamba users have a range of CLI-enabled cloud storage options. For straightforward, dedicated clients, pCloud and MEGA excel. Proton Drive, Filen, and Icedrive prioritize privacy. Rclone offers flexibility across dozens of services. Tresorit’s WebDAV approach suits enterprise settings. Evaluate your requirements—storage capacity, encryption level, automation needs—and follow the instructions above to integrate your chosen service seamlessly on OpenMamba GNU/Linux.
