I just updated to 1.41 but it is a lot slower to copy/download a single file from google Drive.
With older versions, it just started the copy (.rclone copy remote:filename.xyz ./) right away but now it seems to get the whole directory first. This takes a lot of time with +100K files.
Output with -vv also shows “xyz Excluded from sync (and deletion)” for every file.
Is there something new that I must add to prevent rclone from downloading the whole file list every time?
The thing to do will be to run with -vv --dump responses and then you can see exactly what rclone is doing with google drive. If you can post the two logs then that would be interesting.
A big difference between v1.36 and v1.41 is that we switched to using the v3 API from the v2 API in v1.40.
Strange... hopefully the logs will shed some light!
small improvement …
I will check the beta later. If there is no way to get things improved I think I have to downgrade to the latest version, which uses the old API, sadly.
From my point of view, the migration from gdrive api V2 to V3 has some reasonable lost in performace. Mhhhh… not good. Any insights if there are additional tasks to be done or any overhead ?
Seems that I have to stay with the old V2 api version. Factor 7+ slower is too slow …
