i'm worn down - sorry.
i did test some command and none of them accomplished what i am specifying.
so could you please reply with the single command that accomplishes what i specified in my previous post, repeated here:
what is the single command that will recreate under a local folder, my google photos account, with each album being a separate folder?
and as i successively add and delete albums, this same command will ONLY copy the new albums and NOT delete (from the destination) the folders of the deleted albums (from the source)? one command - that can easily ACCUMULATE / AGGREGATE from the source to the destination?
i can then test your response and provide some feedback.
i think the bottom line is that i probably want to use the rclone copy command, but i don't want to have to specify all the albums / folders ahead of time - just want them ALL copied (and none deleted).
