How to configure Internxt Drive with rclone on remote machines

Learn how to use rclone with Internxt Drive on remote or headless machines. This step-by-step guide covers manual authentication, and configuration for advanced setups.

If you're setting up rclone on a remote or headless machine (such as a server, NAS, or any system without a web browser), the Internxt backend currently requires browser-based authentication.

For detailed instructions on how to configure rclone on remote/headless machines, please refer to the official rclone documentation:

Set up rclone on remote machines

The rclone documentation provides three methods for remote configuration:

  1. Using rclone authorize: Run authorization on a local machine and transfer the token to the remote system

  2. SSH tunnel: Forward the authentication port through SSH to complete the login securely

  3. Copying the config file: Configure rclone locally and transfer the configuration file to the remote machine

> **Note:** When using any of these methods, remember to encrypt your rclone configuration file afterward to protect your mnemonic and JWT token.

To set this up, follow the instructions from the article below.

Verify your connection
