rclone archive extract Extract archives from source to destination. v1.72

rclone archive extract

Extract archives from source to destination.

Synopsis

Extract the archive contents to a destination directory auto detecting the format. See rclone archive create for the archive formats supported.

For example on this archive:

$ rclone archive list --long remote:archive.zip
        6 2025-10-30 09:46:23.000000000 file.txt
        0 2025-10-30 09:46:57.000000000 dir/
        4 2025-10-30 09:46:57.000000000 dir/bye.txt

You can run extract like this

$ rclone archive extract remote:archive.zip remote:extracted

Which gives this result

$ rclone tree remote:extracted
/
├── dir
│   └── bye.txt
└── file.txt

The source or destination or both can be local or remote.

Filters can be used to only extract certain files:

$ rclone archive extract archive.zip partial --include "bye.*"
$ rclone tree partial
/
└── dir
    └── bye.txt

The archive backend can also be used to extract files. It can be used to read only mount archives also but it supports a different set of archive formats to the archive commands.

rclone archive extract [flags] <source> <destination>
