Commands lsd and ls FileLu does not show subdirectories

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Commands lsd and ls FileLu does not show subdirectories. But I can see them on FileLu web-interface.

I tried to create subfolders via rclone and via web-interface. Error exists in both cases.

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone v1.74.3

  • os/version: ubuntu 24.04 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 6.17.0-1011-oracle (aarch64)
  • os/type: linux
  • os/arch: arm64 (ARMv8 compatible)
  • go/version: go1.26.4
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: none

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

FileLu

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

rclone mkdir filelu:folder -vv --log-file=./bug.log
rclone mkdir filelu:folder/subfolder -vv --log-file=./bug.log
rclone touch filelu:folder/test.txt -vv --log-file=./bug.log
rclone ls filelu:folder -vv --log-file=./bug.log
        0 test.txt
rclone lsd filelu:folder -vv --log-file=./bug.log 
<empty output>

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

[filelu]
type = filelu
key = <hidden>
description = filelu

A log from the command with the -vv flag

welcome to the forum,

can you post the output of
rclone ls filelu:/ -vv

I have two more directories in root directory, but they do not contain files, only other subdirs. They are not listed in ls command's output.
