Setup and Usage Examples

1. pCloud CLI (pcloudcc)

Install on Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install pcloudcc

Authenticate and mount:

pcloudcc set --username you@example.com --password YOUR_PASSWORD
pcloudcc start
mkdir ~/pcloud
pcloudcc mount ~/pcloud

Common Issue: “Mount failed: permission denied” – ensure FUSE is installed (sudo apt install fuse) and you’re in the fuse group.

2. MEGA CMD

Install on Fedora:

sudo dnf install megacmd

Login and sync a folder:

mega-login you@domain.com YOUR_PASSWORD
mega-sync /home/user/Documents /Root/Documents

Typical Problem: “API EAGAIN” – rate-limit retry after a minute or use --no-ratelimit.

3. Proton Drive CLI (community)

Install via Python pip:

pip3 install proton-drive-cli

Authenticate interactively:

proton-drive login
proton-drive upload file.txt /Drive/

Note: The client is community-maintained watch for API changes.

4. Filen CLI

Download binary, make executable:

wget https://filen.io/download/filen-cli/linux/filen
chmod  x filen
sudo mv filen /usr/local/bin/

Initialize and upload:

filen login
filen upload /home/user/file.pdf /Backup/

Problem: “Unable to parse config” – delete ~/.config/filen/config.json and re-login.

5. Tresorit CLI

Install RPM/DEB from official site, then:

tresorit-cli login --email you@domain.com --password SECRET
tresorit-cli sync add mysync /path/to/local /Tresors/MyTresor

Issue: “Sync stuck at 0%” – verify clock sync (install and run ntpdate).

6. Icedrive CLI

Install via snap or AppImage:

snap install icedrive --beta
icedrive-cli login
icedrive-cli mount ~/icedrive

Common Problem: “FUSE device not found” – run sudo modprobe fuse and retry.

7. Backblaze B2 CLI

Install the official b2 tool:

pip3 install b2
b2 authorize-account ACCOUNT_ID APPLICATION_KEY

Create bucket and upload a file:

b2 create-bucket mybucket allPrivate
b2 upload-file mybucket ~/file.txt file.txt

Note: B2 has no client-side encryption by default—use rclone or gpg to encrypt before upload.

8. Dropbox CLI (Third-Party “Dropbox Uploader”)

Clone and configure:

git clone https://github.com/andreafabrizi/Dropbox-Uploader.git
cd Dropbox-Uploader
chmod  x dropbox_uploader.sh
./dropbox_uploader.sh

Upload example:

./dropbox_uploader.sh upload file.jpg /Photos/file.jpg

Issue: “Rate limit exceeded” – implement backoff amp split large uploads.

Typical Problems amp Troubleshooting

• FUSE mounts failing: ensure kernel modules loaded, you’re in fuse group.
• Authentication errors: verify time sync with ntpdate or chrony.
• API rate-limits: add retry logic, reduce parallel uploads, respect provider limits.
• Zero-knowledge key loss: backup or print your master encryption key—no recovery otherwise.

Conclusion

Selecting the best cloud storage with CLI for Linux Securepoint Security Suite depends on your priorities—free space, strict zero-knowledge, official support, or cost.
