Problem

Not being able to manage remote drives like onedrive or personal drive etc, within Yazi is a limitation I’ve encountered during my research.

Would you be willing to contribute this feature?

• Yes, I'll give it a shot

Describe the solution you'd like

Integrating Rclone into Yazi would enable users to access various remote storage services directly within the file explorer. This would streamline workflows and provide a consistent user experience.

Being able to mark directories as remote with attributes for providers like Google or Microsoft would be a great starting point. By applying different profiles based on the directory and its attributes and use availble rclone commands, we could enhance functionality.

From there, we could add features like auto-sync, displaying content without downloading it, downloading specific files, marking certain files as "never download," or setting timers for uploads. The possibilities are endless!

Benefits :

• Simplified access to remote files without needing to switch. And simplify rclone usage.
• Enhanced productivity for users who frequently work with remote storage.

Additional context

Like this but inside yazi.

Validations

• I have searched the existing issues/discussions
• The latest nightly build doesn't already have this feature
  I recently switched to Linux (dual-booting) as I plan to upgrade from Windows to Linux as my main operating system. Currently, I’m configuring my custom desktop environment with Hyprland and have found Yazi to be the best option for a file manager.
