you have probably some typo etc.

in general:

use modtime preserving moveto to rename your files and then --track-renames-strategy modtime,size
use web interface to rename files and then --track-renames-strategy size

especially for second option always test with --dry-run

and update your rclone as you are on ancient v1.51.0 from 2020

sup sorry last night it was 11 here so had to go. sure will give it a go.

i got this.
command
rclone sync "THD1:/Test" "ODGTB:/Test" --track-renames-strategy modtime,size --dry-run -vv

28

so all works now?

29

hell nah bro it will upload and delete the file with diff name

30

Have you renamed file using moveto?

31

bro the thing is that i have changed 1000 files name from THD1 remote but not for ODGTB

32

number of files does not matter. You have to use the right commands.

In your case where two remotes use different hashes changes can be tracked only by files' modtime and size. It looks that whatever renaming method you use it changed files' modtime. So only size is remaining as an option:

rclone sync onedrive:path drive:path --track-renames --track-renames-strategy size

Using size only is dangerous as any other files with the same size can be replaced. This is why testing with --dry-run is recommended.

It might be easier to do this in small batches, e.g.:

rclone sync onedrive:path/path1 drive:path/path1 --track-renames --track-renames-strategy size
rclone sync onedrive:path/path2 drive:path/path2 --track-renames --track-renames-strategy size

did it work? it doesnot show copy log

34

Yes it worked. This time it renamed file instead of delete and transfer.

To see full log you have to use -vv option

yup it did......YESS but why it did not work before?
so we have to use -track-renames --track-renames-strategy size?

36

It always worked. You were just making some mistakes.

There are two options:

  1. use modtime preserving moveto to rename your files and then --track-renames-strategy modtime,size
  2. use web interface to rename files and then --track-renames-strategy size

With option 2 you have to be very careful as many other files can be renamed too - and not ones you want.

37

ahhh...thankssss bro.

38

sorry to disturb but is there a command to like use sync and rename files but not upload. like just rename like any command like max_upload or something.

39

sorry to disturb but is there a command to like use sync and rename files but not upload. like just rename like any command like max_upload or something.

40 
--bwlimit 10M

is i guess.

41

I do not understand. Could you explain what you want to achieve?

42

like i don;t want to upload anything just rename using rclone sync and track name.
will this work?
rclone sync "THD1:/" "ODGTB:/" --track-renames --track-renames-strategy size --bwlimit 0M -vv -P
