What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I've created a remote to a Dropbox shared folder and I've successfully mounted that remote as a network location, X:. I'm trying to write a PowerShell script to modify the "Archive" attribute of certain files on X:, but the modifications don't stick; I set them and they've reset to their prior state when I check them.
I also can't set any attributes manually via the Windows Properties right-click menu. Same deal. I set them, but they don't get set.
I need this functionality bc the Dropbox shared folder linked to this remote contains very large project files uploaded by my clients. These files will automatically be downloaded (via a Robocopy script) from the cloud to an SSD I use as a scratch space for active projects. I need to flip the "Archive" bit on files that have been successfully copied so that when they get deleted from the SSD by me, they won't be re-downloaded automatically by the next Robocopy session.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone v1.58.1

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
