Hello.
I am Quique from Spain.
I need to copy some large files between two Google Drive accounts, but I would like to know if it possible to do this job without download to my pc the files of account 1 and upload to the account 2, as I am doing with the command ārclone copy google1:\folder1 google2:\folder2ā
With this method I have the download/upload bandwitch of my line at full. I would like to do without use my line. It is not possible use the bandwitch between google servers?
I donāt think you can do this with rclone, but I have seen people taking about sharing the files, then copying them into your drive which you can do with the web interface.
Itās not instant because of API limitations (~5 files/second) but itās the fastest way possible because youāre going to hit rate limiting regardless, and by doing a server side copy you donāt have the added overhead of downloading/uploading the files.
So you did this using the web interface⦠That must have taken a very long time, and you had to keep your browser open and hope nothing timed out/etc?
No, I used rclone. First I copied all files in source to a folder called Universe, then I shared it with the other account. Then I moved it to the root of the target accoun https://i.imgur.com/E5Po1t2.png and then I ran rclone copy remote:Universe remote: . I did it on a vps because it took over a day and I donāt want to leave my computer on 24/7 but any device that will maintain a stable connection will do.
Something to note as Iāve unfortunately found out, make sure you arenāt dumb like me and set sharing to public on the web, over 1000 of my files got flagged for this so they arenāt shared but I can still download and reupload them.
I share, let it sync, then you can rclone it but the copies are slow. It works after you do the initial population and then just want to keep things in sync but there seems to be significant limits on server side copies like this.
Please don't necro threads from 2 years ago. Animosity (moderator) will be on your ass if you do
rclone now fully supports what the original poster asked, but I'm not going to continue this discussion here. If you want help on that - make a fresh topic. Everything in this thread is woefully outdated and irrelevant.
You should try the CubexSoft Cloud Drive Migration Tool which provides all required features through which any of us perform this process easily. It can be downloaded on any Windows OS based computer for free.
