Rclone config default paths

Could be rclone default config paths extended with

/etc/rclone/rclone.conf ?

Seems a bit counterintuitive as it's a user space program so generally runs as a user.

I just use:

felix@gemini:~$ env | grep RCLONE_CONF
RCLONE_CONFIG=/opt/rclone/rclone.conf

and point it where I want all the time.

You could set that environment variable globally as well and be done with it. No change / feature needed.

I have read about this possibility but storing the config not under the default locations results that the config file has to be specified by --config=""
This induces more typing by running each rclone command.
From my point of view creating a symlink between expected and real path of the config file is a simpler solution.

If you set the environment variable like I shared, you do not have to type it because it's set via the config variable.

rclone ls GD:test -vvv
