The Inter-Cloud Data Transfer integration allows you to transfer data to, from, and between any of the major private and public cloud providers like AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure.
...
- AWS S3
- Google Cloud
- Sharepoint
- Dropbox
- OneDrive
- Hadoop Distributed File Storage (HDFS)
Software Requirements
Software Requirements for Universal Agent
Universal Agent for Linux or Windows Version 7.2.0.0 or later is required.
Universal Agent needs to be installed with python option (--python yes).
Software Requirements for Universal Controller
Universal Controller 7.2.0.0 or later.
Software Requirements for the Application to be Scheduled
Rclone: v1.58.1 or higher needs to be installed on server where the Universal Agent is installed.
Rclone can be installed on Windows and Linux
To install Rclone on Linux systems, run:
Code Block language py linenumbers true curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | sudo bash
Note title Note If the URL is not reachable from your server, the Linux installation also can be done from pre-compiled binary.
To install Rclone on Linux system from a pre-compiled binary:
Fetch and unpack
Code Block language py linenumbers true curl -O <https://downloads.rclone.org/rclone-current-linux-amd64.zip> unzip rclone-current-linux-amd64.zip cd rclone-*-linux-amd64
Copy binary file
Code Block language py linenumbers true sudo cp rclone /usr/bin/ sudo chown root:root /usr/bin/rclone sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/rclone
Install manpage
Code Block language py linenumbers true sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/share/man/man1 sudo cp rclone.1 /usr/local/share/man/man1/ sudo mandb
To install Rclone on Windows systems:
Rclone is a Go program and comes as a single binary file.
Download the relevant binary here.
Extract the rclone or rclone.exe binary from the archive into a folder, which is in the windows path
Key Features
Some details about the Inter-Cloud Data Transfer Task:
Transfer data to, from, and between any cloud provider
Transfer between any major storage applications like SharePoint or Dropbox

- Horizontal scalable by allowing multiple parallel file transfers up to the number of cores in the machine
- Supports Chunking - Larger files can be divided into multiple chunks
Preserves always timestamps and verifies checksums
Supports encryption, caching, and compression
Perform Dry-runs
Dynamic Token updates for SharePoint connections
Regular Expression based include/exclude filter rules
Supported actions are:
List objects
List directory
- Copy / Move
Copy To / Move To
- Sync Folders
Remove object / object store
Perform Dry-runs
Monitor object, including triggering of Tasks and Workflows
Copy URL
Import Inter-Cloud Data Transfer Universal Template
To use this downloadable Universal Template, you first must perform the following steps:
- This Universal Task requires the Resolvable Credentials feature. Check that the Resolvable Credentials Permitted system property has been set to true.
- To import the Universal Template into your Controller, follow the instructions here.
- When the files have been imported successfully, refresh the Universal Templates list; the Universal Template will appear on the list.
Configure Inter-Cloud Data Transfer Universal Tasks
To configure a new Inter-Cloud Data Transfer there are two steps required:
Configure the connection file.
Create a new Inter-Cloud Data Transfer Task.

The connection file contains all required Parameters and Credentials to connect to the Source and Target Cloud Storage System.

Create an Inter-Cloud Data Transfer Task
For Universal Task Inter-Cloud Data Transfer, create a new task and enter the task-specific Details that were created in the Universal Template.
...
In the following for each task action, the fields will be described and an example is provided.
Important Considerations
Before running a move, moveto, copy, copyto or sync command, you can always try the command by setting the Dry-run option in the Task.
The field
max-depth
(recursion depth
) limits the recursion depth.max-depth 1
means that only the current directory is in scope. This is the default value.Note title Attention If you change max-depth to a value greater than 1, a recursive action is performed. This should be considered in any Copy, Move, sync, remove-object and remove-object-store operations.
