Rclone

Rclone

Make remote an exact copy of the local folder

If you were to use copy instead of sync, it wouldn't delete extra files on the remote that are no longer needed, what we want in this case is for the destination to be an exact copy.

remote = folder
REMOTENAME: drive:

rclone -P sync ~/.thunderbird drive:Thunderbird
rclone -P sync ~/Calibre\ Library drive:Calibre/Calibre\ Library

Make local folder an exact copy of the remote

folder = remote

rclone -P sync drive:Thunderbird ~/.thunderbird
rclone -P sync drive:Calibre/Calibre\ Library ~/Calibre\ Library

On Windows:

cd $HOME
rclone sync drive:Calibre/Calibre` Library Calibre` Library -P --create-empty-src-dirs

Configure rclone:

rclone config

Quota about a remote:

rclone about drive:

To list remotes:

rclone listremotes

Look for changes between remote and local:

rclone check SOURCEDIRECTORY drive:DIRECTORYBEINGCOPIEDTO
