Hi, I have recently found this software and I see it very promising.
Questions:
1 - Is it possible to use this software to synchronize between different cloud services?
2 - Synchronizing in this way, does the software download the file to the disk where the software is running or does this process only take place between the different services and does not download any files? (important to maintain privacy too)
3 - What parameters do I have to use to do this and keep the metadata (dates) of the files?
yes, rclone can sync between different cloud services.
the sync does NOT download the entire file from the first remote and then upload to the second remote.
instead, rclone will download a chunk of the file from the first remote and uploads the chunk to the second remote.
rclone will keep downloading and uploading chunks.
so privacy is maintained.
rclone will handle the timestamps with metadata, provided both remotes support timestamps.
I was doing some tests and I am very excited because I made it work perfectly; I thought it would be more complicated.
I've been running some tests and found that some services don't support checksum of files. The sync parameter or some other parameter requires that you can write the checksum of the file that is stored in the online service (cloud) to compare it with the file on disk?
I have also tried encryption and when trying to check the checksum of the decrypted file I have not been successful, am I doing something wrong? I have tried the following:
