I love --max-depth but is there such a thing as --min-depth?

I’d love a command to copy/check/etc as a way to avoid a root directory but still include all subdirectories…. Or even use a fictional min-depth and max-depth at the same time to only allow say folders of depth between 2 and 3.

Is there a way to do this? Could there be a way to do this in the future?

rclone tree .
/
├── 01
│   └── 01.file
├── 02
│   └── 02.file
└── root.file

2 directories, 3 files

rclone tree . --exclude=/*
/
├── 01
│   └── 01.file
└── 02
    └── 02.file

2 directories, 2 files

i think you can get that done using filters
