Feature request: Local caching of files and folders about rclonebrowser HOT 2 CLOSED

if you require heavy browsing you could try to mount remote using optimization discussed in this thread:

https://forum.rclone.org/t/how-to-get-full-directory-tree-cached-on-first-mount/12535

I try to keep Rclone Browser as universal and simple as possible and remotes content caching unfortunately is not straightforward. Only would work reliably for remotes with functionality to advertise remote filesystem changes (which ones they are? there are new added all the time). Without it local cache can very easily be in no sync (especially for remotes accessible by multiple users). It would be very specific solution for very few users.

There is no safe way to implement it. There is no guarantee that remote content remains the same between application restarts. It would solve very specific issue only and does not work universally.
