No logs that indicate anything other than a successful creation of the folder.
We're mirroring our Windows File Server to Google Drive and one of the directory structures involves the creation of an inordinate number of empty folders. The process of instantiating these folders is taking 2 seconds for each folder, one at a time, whereas actual files would transfer comparatively instantaneously and in parallel. I would think this part would be faster, but evidently not?
rclone has to wait for gdrive to create the dir and that is where the gdrive slowness comes in.
if you try to delete that same set of dest dirs, you would see that same gdrive slowness.
here is the same command, once for gdrive, once for wasabi, s3 clone known for hot storage
rclone sync d:\source\dir gdrive:zork -vv --create-empty-src-dirs
