Compressing a downloaded folder

Hi guys, I need to download a huge sum of data from box.com and was hoping to compress each sub-directory within my box directory into a .zip file.

I tried using
rclone zip /path/to/source/files remote:destination.zip

but it returned: unknown command “zip” for “rclone”

My RClone version is v1.46 on a windows 10 machine.

There isn’t a ‘zip’ command, which is why you got the error.

Without downloading it at some point, there isn’t a way to zip on the remote unless box.com offers that feature through a web client or something along those lines.

As an alternative you could download to a zipfuse mount or similar. I don’t know if that is available on windows however.
