Hi everyone, I'm trying to find there's a way to download backups from "backups" folder in Google Drive. In the browser the URL is drive/google.com/drive/u/0/backups. This folder is created from Android phone. rclone lsd gdrive: shows me the folders in the drive itself just fine, just not that backup folder. I tried various clones but not helpful (to my needs). That might not be possible but still hoping.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
Apologies for not being specific. Backup folder in the Google Drive is quite special - it behaves in very different ways: 1) You can't upload there, it's handled by your Android device 2) It's not listed under the "My drive" folder and you need to access it in different way.
. In the attached screenshot folders under the "My Drive" are perfectly displayed with rclone - there's nothign wrong with that hence no debug.
I'm not sure if rclone even can get to that "Backup" folder.
Rclone will be able to use that directory provided you can find its ID - I searched through the network transactions for 5 minutes without finding it though.
API: Introduction to Google Drive API | Google Developers. But from that I only understood it's not accessing that special backup folder - my gut feeling is another API, not really public. Or perhaps for premium. But as I can barely read any code, I won't be able to help much further, unfortunately
