Thanks, I can now get it to work with either --filter and --include. Great tool!
I am really impressed with how I can copy directory structures onto a flat file system in azure blobs. Is this translation being done by rclone or on the server side?
It is done by the rclone azureblob backend. There is only one point of contention - rclone won't let you have an empty directory. Some tools create 0 length blobs named "directory/" but rclone doesn't to save you transactions.
