What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I am trying to exclude most directories given within a directory, then including only some. I've seen a lot of questions like these, but none of them addressed my problem.

rclone version

rclone v1.64.0

  • os/version: ubuntu 24.04 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 6.8.0-51-generic (x86_64)
  • os/type: linux
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.21.1
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: none

I've tried it even with the latest version, with the very same results.

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

HTTP / HTTPS

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

Config file

no config file created

A log from the command that you were trying to run with the -vv flag
