What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I am "check"ing and "sync"ing a local folder to google drive, but --drive-skip-gdocs is not being respected (note: this used to work before). When I do a check I get:
2022/05/13 15:24:16 ERROR : TEST: File not in Local file system at /gdrive/scratch
Where TEST is the name of an (online) google doc. If I sync the two with:
rclone sync ./scratch gdrive:/scratch --drive-skip-gdocs
The TEST document gets deleted/removed from the scratch remote directory.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone v1.50.2
- os/arch: linux/amd64
- go version: go1.13.6
(I am on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, using rclone installed via apt)
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
Google Drive
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
~/gdrive$ rclone check ./scratch gdrive:/scratch --drive-skip-gdocs
2022/05/13 15:34:28 ERROR : TEST DOC: File not in Local file system at /home/xx/gdrive/scratch

2022/05/13 15:34:28 Failed to check with 3 errors: last error was: 2 differences found
Where TEST DOC and TEST SHEET are online google documents only. I was expecting these to be ignored.
The rclone config contents with secrets removed.
[gdrive]
type = drive
client_id =
client_secret =
scope = drive
token = {"access_token":"","token_type":"Bearer","refresh_token":"","expiry":"2022-05-13T16:33:40.617267506+02:00"}
root_folder_id =
Nothing special here.
A log from the command with the -vv flag
