--checksum is in use but the source and destination have no hashes in common; falling back to --size-only

See below, am I right thinking that checksums aren't available on crypts and team drives? I found two other posts asking the same question one just mention that the other side didn't support checksums, and the other said that crypts don't support checksums.

In my case the other side isn't a crypt but is a team drive.

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

--checksum is in use but the source and destination have no hashes in common; falling back to --size-only

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

rclone v1.51.0

  • os/arch: linux/amd64
  • go version: go1.13.7

Which OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit)

Debian x64 stretch

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

Google Drive

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

/usr/bin/rclone copy td:'/' '/mnt/local' --checkers 8 --checksum --drive-chunk-size=16m --drive-pacer-min-sleep 5s --fast-list --log-level INFO --low-level-retries 1000 --progress --retries 1000 --retries-sleep 5s --stats 10s --stats-file-name-length 30 --tpslimit 8 --tpslimit-burst 1 --transfers 1 --user-agent 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/74.0.3729.131 Safari/537.36';

You need to use cryptcheck for a crypt remote.

Google Drives/Teamdrives support checksums.

As an example:

2020/02/03 16:52:03 DEBUG : hosts: MD5 = 9da946a118249403281f7ad1e178277c OK
2020/02/03 16:52:03 DEBUG : hosts: OK
2020/02/03 16:52:03 NOTICE: Google drive root '': 0 differences found
2020/02/03 16:52:03 NOTICE: Google drive root '': 1 matching files
2020/02/03 16:52:03 DEBUG : 6 go routines active
2020/02/03 16:52:03 DEBUG : rclone: Version "v1.51.0" finishing with parameters ["rclone" "check" "--checksum" "/etc/hosts" "GD:" "-vv"]

If both sides don't support it, it does a size only match as you noted.
