# {{< icon "fa fa-cloud" >}} Drime

[Drime](https://drime.cloud/) is a cloud storage and transfer service focused
on fast, resilient file delivery. It offers both free and paid tiers with
emphasis on high-speed uploads and link sharing.

The setup Drime you need to log in, go to Settings, Developer, and create a
token to use as an API access key. Give it a sensible name and copy the token
for use in the config.

## Configuration

Here is a run through of `rclone config` to make a remote called `Drime`.

Firstly run:


```console
rclone config
```

Then follow through the interactive setup:


```text
No remotes found, make a new one?
n) New remote
s) Set configuration password
q) Quit config
n/s/q> n

Enter name for new remote.
name> Drime

Option Storage.
Type of storage to configure.
Choose a number from below, or type in your own value.
XX / Drime
   \ (drime)
Storage> drime

Option access_token.
API Access token
You can get this from the web control panel.
Enter a value. Press Enter to leave empty.
access_token> YOUR_API_ACCESS_TOKEN

Edit advanced config?
y) Yes
n) No (default)
y/n> n

Configuration complete.
Options:
- type: drime
- access_token: YOUR_API_ACCESS_TOKEN
Keep this "remote" remote?
y) Yes this is OK (default)
e) Edit this remote
d) Delete this remote
y/e/d> y
```

Once configured you can then use `rclone` like this (replace `remote` with the
name you gave your remote):

List directories and files in the top level of your Drime

```console
rclone lsf remote:
```

To copy a local directory to a Drime directory called backup

```console
rclone copy /home/source remote:backup
```


### Modification times and hashes

Drime does not support modification times or hashes.


### Restricted filename characters

In addition to the [default restricted characters set](/overview/#restricted-characters)
the following characters are also replaced:

| Character | Value | Replacement |
| --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
| \         | 0x5C  | ＼           |

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

| Character | Value | Replacement |
| --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
| SP        | 0x20  | ␠           |

Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be [replaced](/overview/#invalid-utf8),
as they can't be used in JSON strings.

### Root folder ID

You can set the `root_folder_id` for rclone.  This is the directory
(identified by its `Folder ID`) that rclone considers to be the root
of your Drime drive.

Normally you will leave this blank and rclone will determine the
correct root to use itself and fill in the value in the config file.

However you can set this to restrict rclone to a specific folder
hierarchy.

In order to do this you will have to find the `Folder ID` of the
directory you wish rclone to display.

You can do this with rclone

```console
$ rclone lsf -Fip --dirs-only remote:
d6341f53-ee65-4f29-9f59-d11e8070b2a0;Files/
f4f5c9b8-6ece-478b-b03e-4538edfe5a1c;Photos/
d50e356c-29ca-4b27-a3a7-494d91026e04;Videos/
```

The ID to use is the part before the `;` so you could set

```text
root_folder_id = d6341f53-ee65-4f29-9f59-d11e8070b2a0
```

To restrict rclone to the `Files` directory.
