✨ Key Features

• System Tray Icon: Minimizes to the system tray (using the native Rclone icon) for a clean workspace.
• Web Dashboard: Integrated Rclone Web UI. Double-click the tray icon to monitor transfer speeds and logs in real-time.
• Smart Config Wizard:
  • Auto-list: Automatically lists configured remotes (no need to type names manually).
  • Auto-detect: Detects free drive letters (e.g., Z:, X:) to prevent conflicts.
  • Auto-assign: Assigns free ports (5572, 5573...) allowing multiple instances to run simultaneously.
• Silent Operation: Completely hides the CMD window; runs quietly in the background.
• True Portability: All configurations are stored locally within the folder. You can put it on a USB drive and use it on different computers.
• Smart Instance Control: If the program is already running, clicking the shortcut again will intelligently open the Web Dashboard instead of launching a new instance.

3. Type [2]: Configure the mount.
   • The script will list your configured remotes and available drive letters.
   • Enter the remote name (e.g., onedrive) and drive letter (e.g., Z) as prompted.
4. Type [3]: Generate a Desktop Shortcut.

❓ FAQ

• Q: Why does nothing happen when I double-click?
  • A: Please check if rclone.exe is strictly located inside the core folder.
• Q: How do I modify the configuration?
  • A: Run RcloneTray.bat again and select the corresponding option to re-configure.
• Q: Antivirus warning?
  • A: The script uses PowerShell to access system APIs (for creating shortcuts and mounting drives), which may trigger false positives in some antivirus software. Please add the folder to the exclusion list.
