Description

Hello guys!

Old post 2018

Baidu used to offer 2TB free cloud storage. I registered lately and it is "just" 1TB now. Nevertheless it's 1 terabyte free cloud space. I wouldn't store my stuff on it unencrypted because it's a chinese provider but with rclone encryption i would love to use it.

I also found a go library for baidu netdisk

https://github.com/suconghou/netdisk

Update 2021

Maintained BaiduPCS go client (confirmed to work by @ericma15) - https://github.com/qjfoidnh/BaiduPCS-Go

Unfinished backend code for rclone - https://github.com/Cnly/rclone/commits/baidupcs

Important note by @Cnly

In a word, the users will be always forced to purchase a premium plan to have an acceptable transfer speed. Not saying that its payment method only targeted Chinese users (Baidu baifubao, Alipay, Wechat Pay), unfriendly for the majority.

Research direction
The issue requests adding Baidu Pan support to rclone. There is unfinished backend code at https://github.com/Cnly/rclone/commits/baidupcs and a Go library at https://github.com/suconghou/netdisk. Review these to understand the API integration. Also examine existing rclone backends (e.g., drive.go) for the pattern to implement a new backend.
