Download and install rclone:

https://rclone.org/install/

Create a remote by following the directions at:

https://rclone.org/drive/

And you can use rclone copy or rclone mount once you get a remote going and decide how you want to get the files.

Thanks, I started using the "mount" command and I will be able to get my work done.

I have one more question. I hope it is answered. Does it do a sync when I use the "mount" command? The file I deleted via Google Drive was also deleted from local.

I wouldn't use the word sync as it is a mount of your remote folder. If you do something on either side, it'll reflect those changes.

you can use rclone sync to copy the files from gdrive to local

I think I solved my problem. I thought I could only copy to a remote connection with "copy". I noticed that when I relocate the file paths, I get what I want.

To give an example:

local to remote
$rclone copy local/path remote_name:remote/path

remote to local
$rclone copy remote_name:remote/path local/path

Thanks for your time.
