System properties notes are gone by syncing to different Google Drive

Suspected Bug
1

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Notes are not synced between two Google Drives. We use the notes option to collaborate together. Syncing back our backup Google Drive will result in data loss this way.

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

Synced the first time with v1.50 (default in Ubuntu LTS repo). Synced again with rclone v1.57.0

  • os/version: ubuntu 20.04 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 5.4.0-100-generic (x86_64)
  • os/type: linux
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.17.2
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: none

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

Google Drive

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

rclone sync --drive-server-side-across-configs=true --progress --drive-chunk-size 64M --fast-list --verbose --transfers 10

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

Not available atm.

Can you describe what notes are? Are they a type of google doc? Or are they something you can attach to a google doc? Or metadata on a google file?

3

They are metadata on (in our case, but not limited to) a folder. You can enter it in the Google Drive webinterface next to the creation date etc.

4

Rclone will be or should be preserving metadata on files, but it creates all directories from scratch and won't be preserving metadata there. Is that what you are seeing?
