Today was late spring cleaning on GDrive, i.e. the folder hierarchy was cleaned up, reduced to fewer folders, then many other folders and backup files were pushed into them.
The clarity in the cloud is back, but: rclone suddenly finds only a few encrypted backups.
Was the reorganization a mistake or can you straighten it out again in rclone?
Using the latest rclone under Win10 64bit (same with WinServer19).
The problem is that rclone on GDrive does not recognize the new folder and - although the names already exist - creates them with the same name. According to GDrive-client, the folder "backups" becomes the new folder "backups (1)", in the browser there are two folders with the same name "backups". The following message appears before the rclone-backup is to be made in the "backups" folder:
C:\Users\Administrator>rclone ls GDrive_enc:backups -vvvv
2020/07/26 14:55:40 DEBUG : rclone: Version "v1.52.0" starting with parameters ["rclone" "ls" "GDrive_enc:backups" "-vvvv"]
2020/07/26 14:55:40 DEBUG : Using config file from "C:\Users\Administrator\.config\rclone\rclone.conf"

2020/07/26 14:55:41 Failed to ls: directory not found
first folder with encrypted files in GDrive is: backups/veeam (and there are still a number of subfolders that also contain data encrypted with rclone).
and for it is worth, i use veeam, it can encypt its own files.
and the reason i do not use crypt for veeam vib.vbk files with rclone is this https://rclone.org/crypt/#modified-time-and-hashes
"Hashes are not stored for crypt"
i need the files to have a hash.
these are backup files, not just media files, so i do not want rclone to modify the backup files by a second encryption and perhaps corrupt the files. and find out a year later, when i need to recover from a disaster, that the backups files are corrupted.
