Hi there,

first of all thank you for this project - something that I was looking for quite some time (rclone based way to automatically and schdeuled copy data mangaged in a web interface)!

After playing around with it a couple of hours, here are my first thoughts about your questions.

Prioritization

1. Advanced File Processing Rules (including rclone modes like sync, oneway bi-directional snyc) - because it is basic functionality of rclone
2. API Integration Framework - useful and universal usable
3. Automated File Validation - file integrity is important!

Missing Pieces

1. The ability to test new connections (maybe support rclone's -dry-run?) without having to create a job.
2. File Browser for Rclone remotes /connections
3. import existing rclone configs

Collaboration
As I am no coder at all, my means are limited. I could do testing and giving feedback or help with documentation or translation.

General Comments
Great work so far and it is impressive how you softare looks and feels after just a few couple of weeks. I am looking forward to what will come next at GoMFT!

Awesome project, thanx very much!

What I would personally really like to see is to be able to run a post-processing script after a job finishes. Maybe someone would also like the possibility of a pre-job script.

My use case is I send a switch off command to a NAS I do weekly backups to....

This looks like it will be an awesome project. I've messed with several rclone gui thingies like rcloneview and havent found one completely to my liking yet.
I'd like to help and support as a reasonably intelligent user who can knock out dirty code but never anything for production :-)

The most import first task is to import my rclone.conf file that took dozens of hours to get working with all the frustrating auth codes from numerous sites.... forcing the recreating of all that would be a strong barrier to entry at this point.

Any chance of some instructions how to accomplish this? Also some providers are not listed in your create provider dialog, so if for example premiumize.me is imported would it currently function?

I'm trying to get all file transfer stuff handled by something like this and/or cronicle.

This is much needed and will get popular very fast, especially with continued support from proxmox-helper-script folks, etc..

Thoughts on other cloud providers in addition to google, such as dropbox?
