Feature-request: The "include-from", "filter-from" or "files-from" flags only accept a file. It would be nice if they accepted a remote and used its contents as a criterion for the operation.
In the absence of the above, is it possible to delete files that are present in Folder2, from Folder1?
Folder1
Folder2
rclone is not deduplication program.
I suggest some specialised software like fclones.
Here some ideas how to use it effectively with rclone:
Thanks for the suggestion. I will surely check out fclones.
However, I am not particularly after deduplication. What I am wanting is the ability to use the contents of a directory/remote as a criterion for an operation.
As another example, I am doing a 'copy' operation from FolderA to FolderB. But I want to copy only those files that exist in FolderC. Currently the way it's done is, first I save the filelist of FolderC to a text file. Then I run the below command:
rclone copy FolderA FolderB --files-from filelist.txt
If instead the --files-from flag could accept FolderC as a parameter, it would save the user from having to first create a text file with the list of FolderC contents.
welcome to the forum,
not sure, but might try
