This remote is called remote and can now be used like this

See all buckets

rclone ls remote:bucket_name

Sync /home/local/directory to the remote bucket, deleting any excess files in the bucket.

rclone sync -i /home/local/directory remote:bucket_name

Copy

the copy option will download the files of the buckets into your destination folder.
Firstly get access to your local directly where you want to download/copy the file of your bucket. Then run this command:

rclone copy you_remote_name:your_bucket_name/file_or_directory_name .

If you have multiple folders in your bucket then you have to give the path of the file through the directories just like you give the path in the command prompt or in the terminal, e.g

rclone copy haremote:backup_repo/backups .

In above example ‘haremote’ is my remote name, ‘backup_repo’ is my bucket name, ‘backups’ is the internal directory name and the period ‘.’ denotes the current directory where you are now.

‘.’ after the bucket path is denoting the current directory.
