Using the rclone copy command

Help and Support

Hey, first and foremost thanks for all the constant work you do for rclone.

I’m using a cron job to copy new files over source to destination. Since I don’t want it copying over the same files if I’ve reorganized them on my Google Drive I used the --max-age 30m flag.

How much work does this flag do? Does it check GD in an extensive manner? Would they timeout / ban me for setting up the cron job to execute every 30 minutes?

rclone won’t copy files that already exist on the remote. I have a similar setup, and have no problems.

I often, rename or move them into a different organization folder. So the --max-age flag works just worried that Google Drive might have a problem.
