A couple days after letting Rclone run, I saw that all my files in the "tobetransfered" folder weren't there. Then I went to google photos and couldn't find them.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
C:\Users\Lucas>rclone version
rclone v1.65.0
os/version: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 22H2 (64 bit)
os/kernel: 10.0.19045.3693 (x86_64)
os/type: windows
os/arch: amd64
go/version: go1.21.4
go/linking: static
go/tags: cmount
Which cloud storage system are you using?
Google Drive and Google Photos
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
Please run 'rclone config redacted' and share the full output. If you get command not found, please make sure to update rclone.
C:\Users\Lucas>rclone config redacted

A log from the command that you were trying to run with the -vv flag
you did not mention, if you checked the trash folders?
no, based on the rclone docs and the output below.
but i am not an expert with gphotos, so others might have different opinion.
rclone move c:\data\rclone\zork googlephotos: -vv --retries=1
DEBUG : rclone: Version "v1.65.0" starting with parameters ["rclone" "move" "C:\\data\\rclone\\zork" "googlephotos:" "-vv" "--retries=1"]
DEBUG : file.png: Need to transfer - File not found at Destination
DEBUG : file.png: Update: src=file.png

ERROR : file.png: Failed to copy: can't upload files here
ERROR : file.png: Not deleting source as copy failed: can't upload files here
TLDR: I'm an idiot - rclone created a local folder since I didn't use ":". The photos were in my local PC all along. Thanks a lot for the support asdffdsa
you did not mention, if you checked the trash folders?
Yes I did! They are not there.
DEBUG : file.png: >Update: err=can't upload files here
Hmm this is very weird. Maybe it was allowed to move and then it was deleted?
To test this, I just tried to move another random picture using the same command - now with -vv. This is the result I got:
C:\Users\Lucas>rclone move "normal:todas as fotos" "photos" -P -vv
