Same question as [Revert standard filename encryption to simple obfuscated](https://forum.rclone.org/t/revert-standard-filename-encryption-to-simple-obfuscated/9899). But I did not find a solution so far.

od:--onedrive  
ods: --encrypted onedrive(standard)

I found I cannot upload some of my files to ods:.  
I tested serveral times and found the encrypted filename under standard method is too long for onedrive. So I decide to use the obfuscate method.  
To keep the consistency, I need the files on drive with the same filename encryption method.

I setup a new remote with the same encryption password.  
ods2:--encryted onedrive(obfuscate)  
I tested the command

`rclone move ods: ods2 -vv --dry-run`  
And the output tells all files are RENAMED.

```auto

2020/06/26 06:52:34 INFO : There was nothing to transfer
2020/06/26 06:52:34 INFO :

2020/06/26 06:52:34 DEBUG : 5 go routines active

```

But when I run the command directly, the output shows rclone is downloading to local and then uploading.

Is there a way just to rename the files on drive without downloading?

I have enabled server side across configs

Can you paste your config without secrets/tokens so we can check it looks OK?

I think what you are doing sounds correct, I can't think why it doesn't work.

Can you do a small transfer with `-vv` and paste the log?

It's gdrive. Sorry for the mistake. The problem still occurs.

Config file as followed:  
[gd]  
type = drive  
client\_id = **[HIDDEN]**  
client\_secret = **[HIDDEN]**  
scope = drive  
service\_account\_file =  
token = **[HIDDEN]**  
server\_side\_across\_configs = true  
shared\_with\_me = false  
acknowledge\_abuse = true  
root\_folder\_id = 0AP44J\_**[HIDDEN]**

[gds]  
type = crypt  
remote = gd:crypt  
filename\_encryption = standard  
directory\_name\_encryption = false  
password = 3B36AvCLLUZ **[HIDDEN]**

[gds2]  
type = crypt  
remote = gd:crypt2  
filename\_encryption = obfuscate  
directory\_name\_encryption = false  
password = HuBKAjs6mbH **[HIDDEN]**

This is the output with --dry-run:  
This time I used another VPS with Ubuntu (Archlinux as former). The output seems a litte different.

```

This is output without --dry-run:

Ahh, I see what is going on.

This adds a new flag --crypt-server-side-across-configs - I think if you use that then it should work properly.

Thanks for testing. I've merged this to master now which means it will be in [the latest beta](https://beta.rclone.org) in 15-30 mins and released in v1.53
