Hey Dude
This feature request made me laugh like a thousand horses
Prove your motivation, man
Come here now
Write and test the patch now
Buddy, If you don't have guts for it, all the thrill of this post SUCKS
S.U.C.K.S.
@ncw
Actually a request for this is open for a year and it has zero thumbs up.
I guess I remember two relevant tickets approaching the target from two different sides
They didn't get much attention from users. There may be more.

#### What problem are you are trying to solve?
Having multiple team drives an… d wanting to access them is quite hard as I need a config per team drive.
#### How do you think rclone should be changed to solve that?
Instead of having to select one team-drive:
> Choose a number from below, or type in your own value
Adding the option "0 | All drives" where the root folder is a list of team drives.

Welcome :-)
So you've got an idea to improve rclone? We love that!
Y… ou'll be glad to hear we've incorporated hundreds of ideas from contributors already.
Probably the latest beta (or stable) release has your feature, so try to update your rclone.
The update instructions are available at https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_selfupdate/
If it still isn't there, here is a checklist of things to do:
1. Search the old issues for your idea and +1 or comment on an existing issue if possible.
2. Discuss on the forum: https://forum.rclone.org/
3. Make a feature request issue (this is the right place!).
4. Be prepared to get involved making the feature :-)
Looking forward to your great idea!

#### What is your current rclone version (output from `rclone version`)?
rclone v1.53.3-DEV
- os/arch: linux/amd64
- go version: go1.15.4
#### What problem are you are trying to solve?
Managing multiple remotes.
I use a few google drive + backblaze remotes and it is not quite easy to work with all of them.
Most of the time I want to mount all of them in one particular directory, roughly as follows:
```
rclone mount backblaze: mount/backblaze
rclone mount gdrive_home: mount/gdrive/home
rclone mount gdrive_office: mount/gdrive/office
etc..
# also if mount fails then `fusermount -uz` and stuff
```
I've a script to handle mounting but I think it's better if rclone handles this internally.
#### How do you think rclone should be changed to solve that?
Rclone can handle all of the mountings as a new remote maybe `combine` or `join`.
So config can be something like:
```
[all]
type=combine
remotes="backblaze: backblaze, gdrive_home: gdrive/home, gdrive_office: gdrive/office"
```
Now I just have to manage a single mount.
As a start I think we should not support nested remotes. And also no remote specific configurations like seperate `--dir-cache-duration`. So all remotes will be leaf in structure and whatever mount config is used for `combine` will apply to all of the remotes.
