What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I am trying to using rclone sync to sync files originating in MacOS from Dropbox to a local folder on Raspberry PI. However some of the original file names contain characters such as / or * . These files are not synced. How can I sync these files
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone v1.68.1
- os/version: raspbian 12.7 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 6.6.51+rpt-rpi-v8 (aarch64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: arm64 (ARMv8 compatible)
- go/version: go1.23.1
- go/linking: static
- go/tags: none
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
Dropbox
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
