Amazon Drive - files prefixed with period

Help and Support
1

Hi, I’m in the process of moving my stuff from GDrive to Amazon Cloud Drive, but while uploading using the Cloud Sync app on MacOS, all files prefixed with a period (e.g., “.gitignore”, “.idea”, etc) are failing.

Does the same issue occur for rClone - i.e., is it an Amazon Cloud Drive limitation, or just a bug/limitation in their Amazon Drive sync app? If it works for rClone, I’ll ditch their app and move to running rClone as a periodic background job…

Thanks!!

Fab. Thanks for confirming! Will switch to rclone then! :slight_smile:

Tried it this afternoon, and works a treat. I’ll be switching to use rclone on my Synology too, as it’s so much better than the cloud sync tools that Synology offers.

Thanks. I love this tool!
