Best flags for a specific use of rclone bisync

Help and Support

-MPc is shortened way for -M -P -c which is shortened for --metadata --progress --checksum. Maybe it is good idea to avoid shortened flags in documentation for sake of clarity.

  -M, --metadata  If set, preserve metadata when copying objects
  -P, --progress  Show progress during transfer
  -c, --checksum  Check for changes with size & checksum (if available, or fallback to size only).

All explained in docs.

To quickly find some short flag reference use:

$ rclone help flags | grep "\-P,"
  -P, --progress                            Show progress during transfer

Then you can find --progress in docs for more detailed explanation.
