What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I want to limit upload speed. I’m looking for the correct way to specify the bwlimit option in the config file. If I use
–bwlimit 1000K:off
on the command line, it is observed but if I specify the same in the config file as below, it is not.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone v1.72.1
- os/version: debian 12.11 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 6.11.11-2-pve (x86_64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.25.5
- go/linking: static
- go/tags: none
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
Union of Onedrives
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
rclone copy test7.txt odfu:
Please run 'rclone config redacted' and share the full output. If you get command not found, please make sure to update rclone.
