So I just discovered accidently that rclone hashsum SHA256 gdrive: works without having to specify the flag --download as a result maybe it's now time for some improvements to the rclone dedupe command.
I would like to see something like this.
rclone dedupe interactive gdrive: --hashsum SHA256
Additionally I would also like the flag --download from the hashsum command to be added to dedupe so we could do this like.
rclone dedupe interactive gdrive: --hashsum SHA512 --download
So unsupported hash types could be used also.
