Cannot figure out how to get Rclone to sync folders on my W10 PC to Google Drive while the folders on GDrive to be encypted?

It seems everything ok. We have only a “nomenclature” problem.

I think we better rename your remotes, it will make more sense.

The encrypted remote “gdrive” points to “secure:Backup”.

I think it makes more sense that the encrypted remote “secure” points to “gdrive:Backup”.

Your rclone.conf file would look like this:

[gdrive]
type = drive
client_id =
client_secret =
service_account_file =
token = {“access_token”:“access_token”:"[edited out]"}

[secure]
type = crypt
client_id =
client_secret =
scope = drive
root_folder_id =
service_account_file =
token = {“access_token”:"[edited out]"}
remote = gdrive:Backup
filename_encryption = standard
directory_name_encryption = true
password = [edited out]
password2 = [edited out]

I changed the names:

[gdrive] <-> [secure]

and:

remote = gdrive:Backup

I just don’t know if this “rename” will affect the encrypted remote and the passwords already chosen (I don’t use google drive as remote), but I think there will be no problems
