Any Better way to get info about remote (Google Shared Drive name etc)

[phatmandrake]

$rcloneOutput = rclone about :drive:/ --drive-service-account-file="$ServiceAccountFile" --drive-team-drive "$TeamDrive" --drive-impersonate "$Impersonate" -vv 2>&1

$targetLine = $rcloneOutput | Where-Object { $_ -match "Google drive root ''" }

    if ($targetLine) {
        return $targetLine -replace '.*Shared Drive "(.*?)"', '$1'
    } else {
        Write-Error "Drive name not found in the output."
        return
    }

Example debug output being parsed:

2025/03/22 16:42:14 DEBUG : Creating backend with remote ":drive:"
2025/03/22 16:42:14 DEBUG : Using config file from "C:\\Program Files\\RClone\\rclone.conf"
2025/03/22 16:42:14 DEBUG : :drive: detected overridden config - adding "{lAMVc}" suffix to name
2025/03/22 16:42:14 DEBUG : fs cache: renaming cache item ":drive:" to be canonical ":drive{lAMVc}:"
2025/03/22 16:42:14 DEBUG : Google drive root '': read info from Shared Drive "Feet"
2025/03/22 16:42:14 DEBUG : 5 go routines active

Currently using something like the following to get the Shared Drive Name to check that the Shared Drive is the one I think it should be when ran interactively, and I'm trying not to rely on direct api calls.

Any better ways to get arbitrary information like this from rclone?

I am not using a config file, this is for an interactive module.

Check backend command. Maybe you can use something from there.
