fwiw, use --vv --dry-run
to see what rclone is doing, without actually copying any files.
for testing, rclone copy
a single file and see what happens.
here is a comment from @left1000
in your case, there is a third variation - rclone cannot compare different hash types.
dropbox uses DBHASH
and gdrive uses MD5
can remove that flag.
only works when both, the source and the dest are gdrive.
