I have a Google Drive file system full of duplicate folders. God only knows why. We may never know…
I am trying to migrate it down to a NAS using rclone. When rclone encounters a duplicate folder, it seems to simply ignore the contents.
I have already used rclone dedupe to clean up the massive number of duplicate files. So far so good.
How can I get rclone to merge the multiple diplicate folder contents into a single folder structure on the NAS?
Here is what I see. Assume GDrive has the following structure:
Folder/file1.txt (duplicate folder 1)
Folder/file2.txt (duplicate folder 2)
file3.txt
file4.txt
rclone copy gdrive:test /share/test --log-level INFO

ls -R /share/test
/share/test:
Folder/ file3.txt file4.txt
/share/test/Folder:
file1.txt
The net result is the duplicate folder with file2.txt did not get copied.
How can I solve this problem?
