But don't most of the providers (well okay I only tried dropbox/google drive) need you to fire up a browser for getting a token to authorize rclone? Git sounds like a good idea. Essentially, fresh install, no desktop, and still at that point where I want my stuff easily snaggable on any fresh machine. So how easy is it to make a git repo that only I can access? I mean, rclone is fantastic. But, I don't haave a browser on said machine to get tokens for rclone to work so....
