Good stuff.

Might I add here some points about the bisync documentation? Well, here I go.

  1. Here one is advised to ‘read and understood the entire manual‘ before one uses ‘bisync’. One gets the impression that the manual is a document separate to the text that one is reading. In truth, it is not; clicking ‘manual’ takes one back to the same page that one was on.

  2. Partly by dint of the text mentioned in 1, one can get the false impression, initially, that ‘bisync’ is a program separate from rclone.

  3. The manual - that is, the relevant parts of Rclone’s manual - does not (at least not initially) tell one what rclone bisync is actually for (!). What is it for?

Good points @LinuxOnTheDesktop

Bisync is for bidirectional syncing to make two remotes the same but preserve changes which happen on both sides (unlike sync which is one way)

So you could bisync your Dropbox to your Drive and changes made in either place would be preserved.

A lot of the complications in the manual are due to dealing with conflicts where a file has changed on both sides.

Thanks for the explanation, Nick. It seems to me that the relevant bit of documentation - namely, the start of the documentation of the bisync (sub)command - ought to be revised.
