I have a Google Drive remote with a folder Backups in it, and a sub directory games. When I copy files to that folder (using rclone copy [file or folder] Drive:Backups/Games, it copies it to the right folder without creating new folders.
However, when I copy from a Shared With Me folder, using a server-side transfer, it creates another Backups folder, with another Games folder inside of it. This is very annoying, and makes server-side transfers that are over 750gb impossible (because after I receive the ban for the day, and start again the next day, it creates another folder, and copies the same files it did the first time).
Ah, I see. The --drive-shared-with-me hides the non shared with me stuff so rclone doesn’t see the existing folder and creates a duplicate. I think the idea behind the flag is flawed but I can’t think of a better way right now… Maybe the shared with me files should appear in a subdirectory. I’ve been trying to avoid that though as it will really complicate things.
Can you make a new issue on GitHub please and we can discuss the best way forward there - thanks.
