Having problem with rclone, windows and Amazon Drive

Help and Support
1

Hi there,
I am trying to use Rclone to backup large numbers of files from my Windows 10 PC to Amazon Drive (about 400GB of photos and documents). I am pretty confident I have my config setup correctly but when I use the copy or sync commands the operation completes without uploading any files. I guess my question is in 2 parts:

1: Is there an easy way I can test my config to make sure that isn’t where I am going wrong?

2: If my config is indeed correct what would be causing this?

I will include the -v output from my command prompt:

C:\Program Files\rClone>rclone copy D:\Pictures amazondrive:Pictures -v

Hope someone can help!

The lsd command works fine so I assume that means my config is fine

Try

rclone ls D:\Pictures
rclone ls amazondrive:Pictures

What do you see for those?

By the look of your log, rclone thinks D:\Pictures is empty which is strange.

I am such a dope! I have a folder called D:\Pictures which is indeed empty and my windows Picture library which has a different folder name but appears as “Pictures” in Explorer because Windows.

Problem now solved, thank you very much!
