Appreciate any assistance, I am trying to volunteer for a local music school to help them setup their operations in cloud. The following experiments are on my personal drive before I touch their (music school) google drive. When trying to setup my personal google drive as a drive on my windows system I'm getting the error "Failed to load filters: malformed rule "s-cache-mode". I tried first searching the web for this error and there were only two results that came which were from very old posts and didn't have solution. Also tried reading the README.TXT and reading the held documentation within rclone.org but couldn't get much information on the s-cache-mode and the load filters error. My processor detail and the rclone version as below:
Processor 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz, 2803 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)

#### Which cloud storage system are you using?
Google Drive
#### The command you were trying to run (eg `rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp`)

#### Please run 'rclone config redacted' and share the full output. If you get command not found, please make sure to update rclone.
Thanks so much. That worked. My google drive is about 1.6 GB and I ran the command about 20-25 minutes back and the command seem to be still running. But I do see the drive mapped in my windows computer. The google sheets I was trying to see show as 0 bytes. I was hoping to transfer google sheets from my account to the other google drive account (Music school's google drive account) by dragging from the mapped drive on my windows computer to the other google drive in the browser. I know I can share the file with that google account and then log into music schools google drive and make it avaialble there, but I didn;t want to ask them their password. I asked them to just create a new folder for me in their google drive and see if I can work there for them without asking for their password etc. Many thanks.
I created 2 remotes for my same google drive account. One remote
(G:) for the regular "non-shared" google drive and another remote (F:) for the "Shared Folders" with --drive-shared-with-me directive. I tried to copy from F: to G:
Though the copy with --server-side-across-configs directive copy command was successful but when I try to open the file in the new folder within browser it says the file is empty. Here's the command I ran and the corresponding log output.

trust me, never, ever use single letter for remotes on windows. G: is not going to work
rclone gets confused, thinks that is local drive G: and the ouput shows that.
renaming cache item "G:Limelight_Music_School\\Accessible_to_Jay_Mona" to be canonical "//?/G:/Limelight_Music_School/Accessible_to_Jay_Mona"
and if rclone accessed gdrive, would have seen, something like this DEBUG : Google drive root '': 'root_folder_id = 0AIYnsu88uXytUk9PVA' - save this in the config to speed up startup
so, fix that single letter issue, post the output of rclone config redacted and test again
well, you re-ran the same command again, so the same wrong result again.
need to change the remote names for the source and dest to match new names in the updated config file
Look like rclone copied the "google sheet" as "XLSX" file format. I might have missed this fact in the overall conversation. If there's a way to copy as "google sheet" format itself without converting to xlsx. Thanks
I'm a slow learner unfortunately, and a complete novice in web technologies (I'm basically an old guy who used to work on mainframe computers decades back). I'm trying to understand how the --server-side-across-configs directive works.
If it doesn't use our internet bandwidth then who pays for the bandwidth....."please no-one get angry laugh on my weird questions, slow learner after all ."
rclone for google drive won't preserve the format of google docs and sheets etc. Am I correct in this assessment (Im usully not, hence the self doubt).
rclone obvioulsy is huge product (and the only product of its kind) and of huge importance in growing "cloudy" skies and coming times it would even grow more. Will there be plans for make rclone transfer the files retaining their native formats (instead of getting those converting to ms-office formats).
