I'm trying to move files and folders from a My Drive location to a new Shared Drive. When running rclone move config1:/ config2:/ --create-empty-src-dirs it appears that files are being copied to the new location then deleted. This breaks the fileID (creates a new one) and file version history. However, when a file is actually moved as in the GUI these values and history is preserved.
This is very unusual behaviour as I can drag and drop these files with the GUI in drive.google.com so would I have to do something special with rclone to move a file?
I have found that if I use the flag --drive-server-side-across-configs=true it will almost work but a move should not copy a file by default, it should move it by default.
By almost work, I mean that if I have Google Docs that are the same name in the same folder they will not move. These files are not the same and entirely different and need to be moved.
How to I get to my "Expected Default Behaviour"
v1.52.3
Default Behaviour
user@server:~$ rclone move config1:/ config2:/ --create-empty-src-dirs -v
