What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I had set directory to be excluded in filter.txt and mount, yet rclone keep creating and uploading that folder.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone version
rclone v1.58.0-beta.6000.dc7e3ea1e
- os/version: unknown
- os/kernel: 4.4.180+ (x86_64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.17.7
- 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)
/usr/bin/rclone --config /volume1/docker/rclone/rclone.conf mount gCryptQS: /volume2/downloads/media/ --allow-other --uid=1026 --gid=100 --umask 002 --transfers=20 --checkers=20 --tpslimit=10 --default-permissions --copy-links --no-check-certificate --vfs-cache-mode full --dir-cache-time 9999h --attr-timeout 9999h --no-gzip-encoding --no-checksum --no-modtime --poll-interval 15m --cache-dir /volume2/downloads/gCache/vfs/ --vfs-read-wait 60ms --buffer-size 0M --use-mmap -v --filter-from /volume1/docker/rclone/filter.txt
The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

content in the filter.txt
- *.db
- /@eaDir/
- /37.@plOtC/
- /@eaDir/**
- /37.@plOtC/**
- /test123/
- /test123/**
it appear that - *.db is working correctly, thumbnail created from windows explorer did not get uploaded.
but - /@eaDir/ doesnt seems to work, the folder and its thumbnail get uploaded uninterrupted.
same goes to - /test123/ folder still get created and uploaded to google drive.
my complete setup as below:
CryptedMount --> Cache Back End --> Google Drive
i am aware cache back end is deprecating, but i believe this may not related to cache back end, this could be my setup problem.
kindly teach me how to exclude the directory being uploaded to google drive correctly. thanks.
