Dropbox Batching

Help and Support
1

I frequently run into Too many requests or write operations. Trying again in 300 seconds. when trying to sync from my Dropbox with >100k files to local disk, even when no files have been changed.

The command I run is:

rclone sync --progress dropbox: /media/data/backup/dropbox

I have seen several threads that describe batching requests for Dropbox (unfortunately it seems I'm not allowed to link to them?), which should address this, but I could not find any flags related to this in the latest beta version.

Is this planned to be included in the beta release, or should I be using a special branch to get this feature?

$ rclone version
rclone v1.56.0-beta.5481.6ef7178ee
- os/version: ubuntu 20.04 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 5.4.0-1034-raspi (aarch64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: arm64
- go/version: go1.16.3
- go/linking: static
- go/tags: none

It isn't in the master branch yet, it is only in a branch.

I'm going to merge it soon though so it will be in the latest beta.
