Install Rclone * Download the Rclone from the official website (). * Extract the downloaded zip file. (Ex. C:\Program Files\rclone\\) * open Command Prompt (CMD) and change the directory to ( C:\Program Files\rclone\rclone-v1.69.2-windows-amd64 ) then type command rclone
### 2. Configure Rclone with S3 Now that we have installed rclone, we will continue with the configuration by typing config command rclone config * select n for a new remote configuration.
* give a name to the connection (e.g. S3)

* finally, skip the advanced configuration by typing n. We get a summary of the configuration. If everything is fine we can type y. Otherwise n to restart the configuration process.
### 3. Mount the S3 Bucket as a Windows Drive In order to make rclone work we need [winfsp](http://www.secfs.net/winfsp/rel/), an open source Windows File System Proxy which makes it easy to write user space filesystems for Windows. It provides a FUSE emulation layer which rclone uses in combination with cgofuse. To get rid of this error, we need to download and install [winfsp-1.7.20172.msi](https://github.com/billziss-gh/winfsp/releases/download/v1.7/winfsp-1.7.20172.msi). Mount the S3 Bucket as a Windows Drive by command: ``` rclone mount : X: --vfs-cache-mode full ---links ``` ตัวอย่าง
### 4. Verify Mount Open File Explorer, We can now see a new disk mounted on the instance. Let’s drop a file at the root of the disk to see if everything is working.
