Get owner of google drive folder?

Help and Support

Is it possible to get the owner of a folder in gdrive using rclone?

I have a number of google accounts with which I make backups to google drive. (I think multiple accounts will increase bandwidth because throttling is by account.) Because non-owners cannot delete files, the same google account should be used every time. It would be nice to be able to query which user account was used in the past and use it again. The alternative is to track which account was used locally.

Thanks!

Not currently no. rclone kind of assumes that all files in any remote are readable and writable by the user and if they aren’t you’ll get permissions errors (much the same way rsync works).
