How to copy files from Google Shared Drive to Mega?

askfriends · May 18, 2020, 6:47pm

hello guys;

i am completely new to rclone and programming.
My major concern for using rclone is to copy files from my google shared drive aka TeamDrive TD to other clouds/servers remotely.

So how to copy files from my google TD to mega remotely and with fast speed locally or on COLAB? Please write a detailed tutorial if possible.

I am using colab too and i have mounted my TD there, and i can access it.

hello and welcome to the forum,
you should have been asked to answer some questions...
the more info you share the better we can help.

you create a remote for gdrive, let's call it gdrive:
you create a remote for mega, let's call it mega:
then
rclone sync gdrive: mega:

are you using rclone mount, as that would be slower rclone sync

I am using this command, but it gives error.

rclone copy

!rclone copy mega:"/BluRay/Movie Name - BluRay - 1080p - AVC - DTS-HDMA 5/" gdrive1:"/content/drive/Shared drives/My name/uploads/" --transfers=4 --checkers=4 --stats=5s --stats-one-line --stats-log-level NOTICE

I have never used mega to copy, so i am stuck at using mega path structure, i dont know what should be there in the beginning of the mega path.

so please have a look at above copy command and make a correction.
thanks

you can test using
https://rclone.org/docs/#n-dry-run

askfriends · June 10, 2020, 4:32pm

Sorry but i am noob, could you please correct above mentioned command??

asdffdsa · June 10, 2020, 4:46pm

we know nothing about your folders and files in your remotes
can you post rclone lsd mega: --recursive

you, own your own, can run your command with --dry-run with debug log.
and read the log.

and here is the original command that i omiited before

asdffdsa · June 10, 2020, 6:39pm

the paths would the same for any remote, mega or gdrive.

i gave you the command to see the paths.
rclone lsd mega: --recursive

you should run your command with --dry-run and read the logs.

askfriends · June 11, 2020, 8:04am

Thanks for you r time, but unfortunately i am no getting this command to work.

As i mentioned; i am using this command in google colab, where i have mounted my gdrive, but i havnt mounted mega because there is no way to mount mega in colab (or is there any?).

Therefore i am using this path structure for mounted gdrive'
/content/drive/shared drive/uploads/folder path/
But for mega, what path should i use???

Please take a time and correct this code if there is any error

!rclone copy mega:"/BluRay/Movie Name - BluRay - 1080p - AVC - DTS-HDMA 5/" gdrive1:"/content/drive/Shared drives/My name/uploads/" --transfers=4 --checkers=4 --stats=5s --stats-one-line --stats-log-level NOTICE

asdffdsa · June 11, 2020, 1:45pm

as we requested a few times.

run the command with --dry-run and -vv

rclone copy mega:"/BluRay/Movie Name - BluRay - 1080p - AVC - DTS-HDMA 5/" gdrive1:"/content/drive/Shared drives/My name/uploads/" -vv --dry-run

post the log

askfriends · June 13, 2020, 10:05am

here is what i\command i run
C:\rclone\rclone.exe copy --verbose mega:"/BluRay/Movie Name - BluRay - 1080p - AVC - DTS-HDMA 5/" gdrive1:"/content/drive/Shared drives/drive/uploads/Bluray/" -vv --dry-run

and here is what i got

ERROR : : error reading source directory: directory not found

the source folder does not exist so the command failed.

use lsd mega: --recursive to get a list of folders in mega.

askfriends · June 13, 2020, 3:15pm

thanks finally figured it out.
thank u so much.

and to my surprise its using my bandwitdh to copy from mega to gdrive therefore its very slow.

asdffdsa · June 13, 2020, 3:23pm

if you are copying to gdrive, you can setup a google cloud compute virtual server, for free or close to free. and then use rclone on that vm. you will get much faster speeds.
