Hello,
Would it be possible to perform a rclone server side copy between Teamdrives in the same account?
Account:
-
Team1
-
Team2
Regards
Should be fine. Best bet is to try it out with a -vv on your command and validate things are working as you’d expect.
Thanks,
Which would be the commands? I mean, all tutorials are for gdrive accounts, and they create a shared folder with a link, but it is not possible in team drive, is it?
Regards
You’d just configure the remote as a team drive by running through the rclone config.
Once the remotes are setup, you just copy as normal.
Thanks for reply,
I have already configured a teamdrive with rclone confie therefore I would have to create another one with the new teamdrive and use the rclone copy commands as usual. , is it right?
for example:
team1: (the existing one)
team2: (the new one)
rclone copy team1: team2:
Regards
Yes, if you need to copy between 2 remotes, you need to create both remotes via rclone config.
That’s it for the copy command as well.
yes, but will it use server-side-copy ? Does Rclone detect that both team drives are in the same account and not download the files to local?
Run a command with -vv and you can see yourself.
Hello,
I just realised I am using an old version, I will update and confirm.
Hello,
It is working but very slow ,is it the normal behaviour?

You can only create ~2-3 files per second on Google Drive.
ohhh ok, is necessary to pass any additional parameter or rclone will automatically copy the files once google allows?
Regards
Just let it run.
ok many thanks! there is no 750gb limitation per day, is right?
Regards
I succesully copied a 40gb folder but when I have tried another one:
2019-04-23 14:43:37 DEBUG : pacer: Rate limited, increasing sleep to 1.454038989s
2019-04-23 14:43:37 DEBUG : pacer: low level retry 2/10 (error googleapi: Error 403: User Rate Limit Exceeded. Rate of requests for user exceed configured project quota.
:S
Yeah, you are out of quota for the day for uploads as that is what that message means.
yes , however I am able to upload from local :S with no problems.
Is there any limitation for serverside copy?
Regards
Yes, server side has its own quota as the logs are telling you that too.
then… serversidecopy is useless 
, can It be turned off? if not, I will have to downgrade it.
Regards
Sure.
--disable move,copy
That uses your own bandwidth to copy it though as the copy isn’t happening server side.
