Encrypted google drive downloading to local folder instead of syncing

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I'm attempting to 'sync' from an unencrypted google drive mount "drive" to an encrypted google drive mount "drive-rory-rudolfer-crypt" and instead of moving the data from "drive" to "drive-rory-rudolfer-crypt" its creating a local folder in the rclone folder called "drive-rory-rudolfer-crypt" and downloading all of the data to that local folder (its encrypted at least)
As an aside - I have confirmed that if I change "drive-rory-rudolfer-crypt:" to "drive-rory-rudolfer:" in the command line, it works correctly but is of course not encrypted.

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

rclone v1.53.1

  • os/arch: windows/amd64
  • go version: go1.15

Which OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit)

Windows 10 64-bit

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

Google Drive (for both, two different accounts)

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

"C:\Users\plex\Google Drive\rclone\rclone.exe" --config "C:\Users\plex\Google Drive\rclone\rclone.conf" sync --progress --size-only --verbose --transfers 2 --checkers 8 --bwlimit 8250 --contimeout 60s --timeout 300s --retries 10 --low-level-retries 10 "drive:" "drive-rory-rudolfer-crypt:"

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

[drive]
type = drive
client_id = removed
client_secret = removed
scope = drive
token = removed
root_folder_id = 0AIqDfQ5RbAfuUk9PVA

[drive-rory-rudolfer]
type = drive
client_id = removed
client_secret = removed
scope = drive
token = removed
root_folder_id = 0ACIj0tKGuY_oUk9PVA

[drive-rory-rudolfer-crypt]
type = crypt
remote = drive-rory-rudolfer
filename_encryption = standard
directory_name_encryption = true
password = removed

change
remote = drive-rory-rudolfer
to
remote = drive-rory-rudolfer:

Sonofabitch. Thank you so much :slight_smile:

This isn't the first time this has happened...

Do you think we should put a warning in that you are using the local disk in here? @asdffdsa @jammin1911 ?
