Memory
The memory backend is an in RAM backend. It does not persist its data - use the local backend for that.
The memory backend behaves like a bucket-based remote (e.g. like
s3). Because it has no parameters you can just use it with the
:memory: remote name.
Configuration
You can configure it as a remote like this with rclone config too if
you want to:
No remotes found, make a new one\?
n) New remote
s) Set configuration password
q) Quit config
n/s/q> n
name> remote
Type of storage to configure.
Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default ("").
Choose a number from below, or type in your own value

XX / Memory
\ "memory"

Storage> memory
** See help for memory backend at: https://rclone.org/memory/ **
Remote config
Configuration complete.
Options:
- type: memory
Keep this "remote" remote?
y) Yes this is OK (default)
e) Edit this remote
d) Delete this remote
y/e/d> y
Because the memory backend isn't persistent it is most useful for testing or with an rclone server or rclone mount, e.g.
rclone mount :memory: /mnt/tmp
rclone serve webdav :memory:
rclone serve sftp :memory:
Modification times and hashes
The memory backend supports MD5 hashes and modification times accurate to 1 nS.
Restricted filename characters
The memory backend replaces the default restricted characters set.
Advanced options
Here are the Advanced options specific to memory (In memory object storage system.).
--memory-discard
If set all writes will be discarded and reads will return an error
If set then when files are uploaded the contents not be saved. The files will appear to have been uploaded but will give an error on read. Files will have their MD5 sum calculated on upload which takes very little CPU time and allows the transfers to be checked.
This can be useful for testing performance.
Probably most easily used by using the connection string syntax:
:memory,discard:bucket
Properties:
- Config: discard
- Env Var: RCLONE_MEMORY_DISCARD
- Type: bool
- Default: false
--memory-description
Description of the remote.
Properties:
- Config: description
- Env Var: RCLONE_MEMORY_DESCRIPTION
- Type: string
- Required: false
