How to using rclone set video only view on Google Drive

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Hello everyone,

I'm currently using Rclone to manage my Google Drive, and I need some help with a specific requirement. I want to restrict download access for a large number of videos stored in my Google Drive. Ideally, I'd like to apply this restriction in bulk across multiple files or folders.

I've explored some of the Rclone commands and options like permissions, but it seems that they don't directly support blocking downloads. I'm aware that Google Drive has options to prevent viewers from downloading files, but I'm unsure how to implement this across multiple files video using Rclone.

Is there a way to achieve this with Rclone, or perhaps a workaround that someone could suggest? Any guidance or script examples would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

I do not think that rclone is the right tool for the job. It does not allow to manage Google Drive permissions. You have too look somewhere else.

do you know any app to do this please help me, or some way

Ask on some Google drive forums maybe?
