Create an option in config to identify the account you are using

Feature
1

Is it possible to configure multiple accounts (storages) with different names, but is hard to identify which account you are using.

Would be interesting create an option during configuration to inform account name:

[box1]
account = email1@domain.com
type = box
client_id =
client_secret =
token =

[box2]
account = email2@domain.com
type = box
client_id =
client_secret =
token =

Best regards

One way can be add description or rename like box-emai1: box-email2:

OK. But would be interesting an option to separate better.

Do you mean like a comment on the remote, so you could have

[box1]
account = email1@domain.com
type = box
client_id =
client_secret =
token =
comment = my account number 1

Where would rclone show these comments?

BTW you can edit the config file and put comments in with # symbols which may help.

Hello @ncw. I though would be show when you type “rclone config”

root@bacula:~# rclone config
Current remotes:

Name                 Type        Account
====                 ====        =======
box                   box         mail@yahoo.com
dropbox1              dropbox     mail_1@gmail.com
dropbox2              dropbox     mail_2@gmail.com
pcloud1               pcloud      mail3@outlook.com
pcloud2               pcloud      support@domain.com

e) Edit existing remote
n) New remote
d) Delete remote
r) Rename remote
c) Copy remote
s) Set configuration password
q) Quit config

I see this as more of a comment so you could write account details in there or something else.

If you want you can make a new issue on github about this as it sounds like a resonable request to me.
