What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I want to limit rclone to only 2 folders. It should have full write and read perms to those 2 but it shouldn't even be able to see all the other folders. I want this to by limited by the Google API themselves if it's possible.

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

- os/version: raspbian 13.4 (64 bit)- os/kernel: 6.12.75+rpt-rpi-2712 (aarch64)

- os/type: linux

- os/arch: arm64 (ARMv8 compatible)

- go/version: go1.25.6

- go/linking: static

- go/tags: none

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

Google Drive

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

I haven't tried any commands yet.

Please run 'rclone config redacted' and share the full output. If you get command not found, please make sure to update rclone.

welcome to the forum,

is that feature supported by gdrive api?
how would do that without using rclone?
https://support.google.com/drive/answer/14254362?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop

using rclone, --include='/folder01/**' --include='/folder02/**'

also, can use --include-from or --filter or --filter-from

could also use a combine remote consisting of two gdrive remotes
for each gdrive remote, set root_folder_id
