What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I would like to use rclone bisync to sync Google docs only to my local drive. I'm exporting Google docs as .link.html files. The first run is fine, but when I move locally the .link.html files, the next bisync run delete the google doc file from the original google drive location, and create a .link.html file on google drive in the destination location.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone v1.65.0
- os/version: arch (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 6.6.7-zen1-1-zen (x86_64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.21.4
- go/linking: dynamic
- go/tags: none
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
Google Drive
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
rclone bisync /home/user/ google_drive: --filter-from filter.txt --verbose --progress
the filter file looks like this:
# exclude hidden folders and files from home dir
- /.**
# sync only google docs
+ *.link.html
# exclude everything else
- *
Please run 'rclone config redacted' and share the full output. If you get command not found, please make sure to update rclone.
