What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I am synching the raw encrypted files from the cloud to my NAS and then I decrypt those locally on a raspberry pi nfs mount ->Local remote -> crypt remote.

I want to clean up my cloud drive and remove anything that is local so I am doing an rclone check and then rclone delete using the matched files.

So assume both the NAS and the Cloud has a folder called 868jjvmu66easetunklunu300k with files in it

If I run rclone check on the NAS against the Cloud (see command below) will that be accurate or do I need to mount both and use rclone cryptcheck?

The reason I ask is that my NAS is not very powerful and I have noticed rclone check is slow and taxes the CPU but when I add decrypting it first it drops from processing the files at 300MB/s to 30MB/s. Doing it on the Pi is not much better.

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

rclone v1.66.0

  • os/version: unknown
  • os/kernel: 4.4.302+ (x86_64)
  • os/type: linux
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.22.1
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: none

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

Box

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

rclone check --one-way /volume1/sync/868jjvmu66easetunklunu300k  Box:868jjvmu66easetunklunu300k  --match /volume1/Matched.txt

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

if you are follow those steps, then use rclone check

I am using Synology Cloud Sync on my NAS to sync the files locally from Box so I am not sure exactly how it is doing it underneath.

I do know there are never any issues mounting that synced folder and accessing the data, as in nothing seems corrupted.

ok, not sure what you need help with?

I just wanted to know if "rclone check" on the encrypted remote is the same as "rclone cryptcheck" on the decrypted remote

both compare files by checksum, but in different ways.

it is all explained at https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_cryptcheck/
"This is the equivalent of running rclone check"

Ok thank you. That answers my question
