This is a backend for the 1fichier cloud storage service. Note that a Premium subscription is required to use the API.

In CloudMount you add this drive from the Add drive screen, and the wizard asks for the options listed under Options. The notes below come from rclone’s setup guide.

1Fichier does not support modification times. It supports the Whirlpool hash algorithm.

1Fichier can have two files with exactly the same name and path (unlike a normal file system).

Duplicated files cause problems with the syncing and you will see messages in the log about duplicates.

In addition to the default restricted characters set the following characters are also replaced:

Character Value Replacement
\ 0x5C \
< 0x3C <
> 0x3E >
“ 0x22 "
$ 0x24 $
` 0x60 `
’ 0x27 '

File names can also not start or end with the following characters. These only get replaced if they are the first or last character in the name:

Character Value Replacement
SP 0x20 ␠

Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be replaced, as they can’t be used in JSON strings.

The wizard asks for these when you add the drive.

Your API Key, get it from https://1fichier.com/console/params.pl.

Description of the remote.

Type: string

rclone about is not supported by the 1Fichier backend. Backends without this capability cannot determine free space for an rclone mount or use policy mfs (most free space) as a member of an rclone union remote.
