I naively decided to run a cloud-to-cloud sync, thinking that it would bomb. First I had to setup both pCloud and OneDrive – that was pretty easy. Well this seemed like a good way to learn about it. So that is the setup… I've had rclone on my watchlist before and mucked with it a few times but nothing serious. Well I have a OneDrive that I haven't used… maybe we can move my files there? Oh but I struggle with pCloud's macOS client when I copy or rsync a lot of files out of there. I saw that the commercial version of Panels offered integration with OneDrive, GDrive, and DropBox – but not pCloud. But downloading a file from pCloud and then importing it into Panels was painful. Then I find Panels, a really good Comic app for the iPad.
And then instead of just putting them in Calibre I put them into a folder in my pCloud storage. Eventually I forgot about all the comics. Now for epubs to my e-reader, it was pretty easy. I dutifully put both of these into Calibre and then put it from there into my devices. In the past I really had an addiction to Humble Bundle, where I bought a lot of cheap ebooks and comics. TL DR – rclone truly is the Swiss Army knife of cloud storage and you should look into it if you have to deal with that world at all (S3, DropBox, OneDrive, etc).
