What is the problem you are having with rclone?
Hey all! I am attempting to use rclone copy to copy files from my external drive (D:) to my encrypted google drive (TEST:).
In total, the files I am trying to upload are about 25 GB, and when copying, it seems rclone is caching the files I am trying to upload to C:\Users\UserNameHere\AppData\Local\rclone. This would be okay if I had space on my local disk drive (C:) but I unfortunately don't.
As a result, I was wondering if there's any way for me to change the cache location to another external drive of mine (E:)? I tried looking at rclone mount, but since this is for mounting, I don't think it'd apply to me (since I'm copying), either way I tried using the command "rclone copy D: TEST: --cache-dir E:", but unluckily for me, rclone would still cache the files I tried to upload to my local disk drive (C:). I simply need to upload files to my encrypted google drive and be able to download them to access them later, so I have a couple of questions.
#1 - Is it possible for me to directly upload from my external drive (D:) to my encrypted google drive (TEST:), without ever using up my local disk's/external drive's space (I believe this has to do with cache)?
#2 - If #1 isn't possible, how would I directly upload from my external drive (D:) to my encrypted google drive (TEST:), and have the cache be stored on another external drive of mine (E:)?

Sorry for the lack of a log, if I let rclone run for too long it'll use up all of my local disk space.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
