What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I am attempting to back up my Google Drive files to my local PC.
These file types backed up as expected:
- .png
- .jpg
The Google Docs and Google Sheets files did not back up as expected.
The Google Docs files backed up to very small .docx files.
The Google Sheets files backed up to very small .xlsx files.
For example, here is the entire contents of banana_bread.docx:
" zip.vim version v33
" Browsing zipfile /home/wolfv/gdrive_wolfvolpi_backup/last_snapshot/wfpb_recipes/banana_bread.docx
" Select a file with cursor and press ENTER
