Known Issues (click to expand)
  • Android 11+: When selecting the internal storage or SD card for the SAF client, you cannot select the root storage and selected subfolders are missing. Workaround: Grant the all files access / MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission and keep "Refresh local drives" enabled to access those storage locations natively.
  • Android 11+: If you have selected a different language than your phone's native language, this setting may not be applied correctly. This is currently under investigation.
  • Android 11+: Access to external USB OTG drives requires enabling the SAF Client in Settings > File Access and choosing the drive with "Add Storage". We are continuing to investigate if we can access those drives through all files access (native).
  • Update v1.12.2: solved for most use cases. The new SAF provider can get stuck in an invalid state, requiring force-closing both RCX and Android's Download/Files app. On some phones, DocumentsUI cannot be stopped manually; a phone reboot is required in those cases.

Feedback

You can report problems by creating a new issue here on GitHub (Please check out the known issues as well as previously reported issues before posting). Note that the new rclone background service notification is not a bug but required when "Enable Content Provider Preview" is enabled. If it is not actively used, it will stop itself the next time Android asks for more resources.

Join the Google Play alpha to receive new versions first (and sometimes pre-release versions).

Update 2021-07-19: Google Play should properly update now for everyone, F-Droid is expected later this week.

Changelog (click to expand)
  • Fixes
    • Crash when opening a file by tapping
    • Crash when opening logging settings and then immediately going back
    • Failures when downloading or synchronising to internal storage or SD card
    • Error message when remote config is missing type attribute

    • "Log rclone errors" now also applies to rclone serve
  • Announcements
    • Support for Android 5 and 6 is now officially deprecated. Builds for devices running those versions are essentially unmaintained, and we're lacking both devices and maintainers. Once we need newer a newer minApi for foundational code, support will be removed completely. We will provide more details in a pinned issue.

Known issues

  • The new SAF provider can get stuck in an invalid state, requiring force-closing both RCX and Android's Download/Files app.
  • Update notifications are disabled on all flavors.
  • Configurations based on InteractiveRunner (OneDrive and reauthorizations) do not clear previous OAuth attempts and may require force-closing RCX.
  • When uploading files, the source storage selector may show storage locations that are not accessible (Appcenter#1187766015). RCX detects this and does not switch to these locations. However, no further error message or visual indicator is shown.
