What is the problem you are having with rclone?
rclone doe not create folders named "forms" when cloning to Sharepoint Online. Folders named "forms" are not allowed in the root of SharePoint Document Libraries, but are allowed anywhere else. rclone should have no issue creating the "forms" folder.
If the folder is created manually, rclone can copy the files into the folder.
rclone throws this error:
