I have a mounted driver with rclone. I want to search for a file inside the Windows Explorer. But it doesn't return any result, it didn't even start to search.
What should I do to make this work?
What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)
--> 1.55.1
Which OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit)
Windows 10 64 bit
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
AWS S3
This is the command that I'm running to Rclone.
C:\rclone\rclone.exe mount JMFAWS:jmf-cloud/ S: --vfs-case-insensitive --vfs-cache-mode full --vfs-write-back 10s --vfs-cache-max-age 300s --vfs-cache-poll-interval 60s --cache-dir %temp% --network-mode --dir-cache-time 5s --use-server-modtime --no-console
keep in mind that rclone has to make a lot of api calls to s3 to cache the folder/file structure and that can take time.
one option might be to pre-cache the structure and the search might go faster.
add --rc to the mount command
after the mount is running, run this command rclone rc vfs/refresh recursive=true -vv
Yes, using the mouse or keyboard, I can navigate to files, folder, copy, paste and anything else like a normal windows folder/file.
The only problem is the search text box that didn't work.
i am not an expert at vfs, as i run most of my mounts as read-only and do not use --vfs-cache-mode
as a test i would change --dir-cache-time 5s to --dir-cache-time 500h
refresh that cache and try to search again.
the reason i asked, searching in file folder for system files
run rclone mount to drive letter or folder, as a system user, all processes including windows explorer can see it
run rclone mount to drive letter, as standard user, windows explorer will see it.
run rclone mount to drive letter, as admin user, windows explorer will not see it
run rclone mount to folder, as admin user, windows explorer will see it
