How to use rclone with Proton drive that contains data

Help and Support
1

I have yet to install rclone to synch with Proton Drive (newbie) and have a couple of questions:

Is there any way of connecting a local directory just to a single directory within Proton Drive (not the drive as a whole)?

Is there a handy description of what the synch does? For example if the local and remote are identical except one file is missing from one of these - will the file be copied across or will it be deleted? Also if the ‘same’ file has differences between local & remote versions (dates, size etc) will anything happen?

Thanks very much. Sorry if this has been asked before.

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

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

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

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

Paste command here

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

Paste config here

Thanks very much - so not worth attempting - I’ll wait until Proton do something…

As of today at least, possibly earlier, since I had not checked recently, rclone 173.3 is working under up-to-date, stable, Gentoo Linux. I run rclone sync from a script during the wee hours to upload updated, select files to my Proton Drive, leaving behind a log for me to review when I’m so motivated.

If you are unsure, install it, read the manual, try it out.
