Probably stupid question: can you use rclone to sync data over or does it have to be via rsync only?

I'd prefer rclone since it can encrypt a remote.

Based on their list of supported procotols[0] you should be able to make rclone work. Worst case you can use the SFTP backend.

I can confirm that rclone works over sftp on port 23. They also support rsync and borg (not tested) [1].

I would also recommend adding `sha1sum_command = /usr/bin/sha1sum` to the rclone.conf entry in order to enable rclone cryptcheck.

Yes rclone works. Either through ssh or WebDAV I think.

What about 'borg' ?

Do they maintain the borg binary on their end or do you have to run that over sftp mode (or whatever it is ...) ?

OP here. I chose storage box because it has built-in borg support. I don't need to mount it locally to run borg.
