Tidying the clouds
![Screen Shot 2019-04-19 at 17.45.19.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZYVSgVtbS6Zwc6bBoFP7CVv5sG1tUmx1bJYLe3MvsuTH/Screen%20Shot%202019-04-19%20at%2017.45.19.png)

In among all the digital decluttering, I realised that I've got a number of cloud storage services running, none of which I use to capacity and some of which I'm paying for.  So today my task was to get a handle on that and shift stuff around so that I could know where everything is (some chance, there's so much of it) and save in cloud subscriptions.  

I reckon I've been spending more than £100 a year more than I need to, just in those little things that get paypal-ed out of my account every month.

One of the things that's made me balk at this task in the past is how do you get all your stuff from cloud X to cloud Y?  But today I took a little time to find a command line utility called [rclone](https://rclone.org) which does  a great deal of the heavy lifting for you.  I didn't feel comfortable giving my credentials to a third-party app no matter how nice their drag'n'drop interface might look so it's worth a little poking around to get set up and learn some of the commands and options.

It's taking some time, but it will feel good when it's done.
