What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I want to limit sync form google drive to one drive only folder name with A to M not A to Z ...

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)

rclone sync "main:MINE/SERIES@BK/ENG-SERIES" "engseries01:ENG-Series - A - L" --drive-server-side-across-configs=true --delete-during --transfers 4 --tpslimit 10 --fast-list --drive-pacer-min-sleep=10ms --checkers 16 -P -vv --drive-skip-shortcuts --order-by name,ascending --check-first

Could you make some more clear example? as as I understand

include A to M
exclude A to Z

excludes everything.

What you want to happen when these are your main Gdrive folder folders:
Afolder
Cfolder
Kfolder
Nfolder
Rfolder
Ufolder
Xfolder
Zfolder

add these options to your sync --include "/[a-n]**/**" --ignore-case

Use --ignore-case if you want lower and upper case included.

use --dry-run -vv to test

and I think your command is over engineered:

Use:

rclone sync "main:MINE/SERIES@BK/ENG-SERIES" "engseries01:ENG-Series - A - L" --fast-list --drive-skip-shortcuts --include "/[a-n]**/**" --ignore-case -P -vv --dry-run

sir it work only for alphabetic ...
i need to digit to alphabetic like folder name 1 - M

how to do that sir ?

14

to make is simple you can do this in 2 steps e.g.

rclone sync source: destination: --fast-list --drive-skip-shortcuts --include "/[a-b]**/**" --ignore-case -P --dry-run

rclone sync source: destination: --fast-list --drive-skip-shortcuts --include "/[1-2]**/**" -P --dry-run
15

sir i want copy form folder name like

911 (2018) to Lupin (2021)

folder name startwith digits to alpha that i desierd to ,....
sir
is that possible?

16

yes in my example:

rclone sync source: destination: --fast-list --drive-skip-shortcuts --include "/[1-2]**/**" -P --dry-run

only folder starting with 1 and 2 will sync

for 9something

rclone sync source: destination: --fast-list --drive-skip-shortcuts --include "/[7-9]**/**" -P --dry-run

it will sync any folder starting with 7, 8 or 9

17

Did you mena like this

rclone sync "main:MINE/SERIES@BK/ENG-SERIES" "engseries01:ENG-Series - A - L" --fast-list --drive-skip-shortcuts --include "/[a-l]**/**" --include "/[1-9]**/**"--ignore-case -P -vv --dry-run
18

NO - run two commands I gave you - this is what I mean 2 steps

so first you sync all a* annd b*

then

1* and 2*

19

if you want to combine everything in one command you have to use filters but is looks for me step approach is easier

20

with all do respect sir
when i run second command for digit .....
rclone syns will remove alphabetic sir
