Hi Everyone,
I've been struggling with this for 3 hours, and was hoping someone could tell me what I am doing wrong. I just want to copy files from my local machine to a backup directory on a Google drive that has been shared with me. I've read this page several times and can't understand it:
What I'm trying to run is the following:
rclone copy ./$name "Google_Backup,shared_with_me":test/abc1
rclone copy ./$name "Google_Backup,shared_with_me":test/abc2
...
What I want is a single folder called test, with files abc1, abc2, ...
What I get is multiple folders named test.
I've spent hours going through several variations, and can't make anything work. Can someone suggest a configuration that will do what I want? Thank you for any assistance.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone version reports:
rclone v1.64.2
- os/version: ubuntu 18.04 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 5.4.0-150-generic (x86_64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.21.3
- go/linking: static
- go/tags: none
rclone config redacted reports the following:
[Google_Backup]
type = drive
scope = drive
root_folder_id = XXX
token = XXX
team_drive =
I have set a root folder ID inside the shared-with-me drive to prevent access outside this folder.
(Side note: the root folder ID doesn't seem to be respected in all cases. "copy" respects this restriction. But "ls" seems to ignore it. I don't think that is related to this issue though.)
Here is the output of rclone -vv copy ./$name "Google_Backup,shared_with_me":test/abc2
