Copyid using local bandwidth

to copy a file from a Google Drive link I used the copyid command but rclone seems to use local bandwidth.

the remote I am copying to is my personal gdrive.

the code I tried:
rclone backend copyid gdrive: ID path --drive-server-side-across-configs=true -P

is there anything I am missing for it to not do server side.

rclone v1.55.1

  • os/type: windows
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.16.3
  • go/linking: dynamic
  • go/tags: cmount

hi,
not a gdrive expert, but --drive-server-side-across-configs is between two remotes, not one.
not sure if matters, but i would try without -drive-server-side-across-configs=true.
based on the docs, rclone will determine if it can do server-side, no flag required.

please post the command(s) with debug output?

still using local bandwidth

that command is downloading to local storage

try this
rclone backend copyid edrive: 1FoEn5wulNHHZQjVS1sd86XZaym2m1OfS edrive:path/ -P -vv
