I have a cronjob that just runs the sync command every minute if rclone isn’t already syncing. After about a week I went to check my VPS bandwidth, and saw that it had used over 4TB out of my 5TB monthly bandwidth! I haven’t really added all that much, so I checked the log, and noticed that it was just non-stop syncing the same movie over and over.
I did a rclone ls and the movie shows up:
6148 movie (2013)/.DS_Store
10554721764 movie (2013)/movie (2013).mkv
Here’s what the sync log file looks like:
