Hello everyone

Note : I am explaining only basic commands needed for rclone

------------------------------------------

Let me Teach you some basic words which we use in rclone

TD : Team Drive/Shared Drive

Remote : means the name of the drive/TD we are using with rclone

Path : means the location of the folder in your Drive/TD

Command : (I will demonstrate below)

Flags : (I will demonstrate below) -are used additionally for better output

eg: -P (For Progress)

------------------------------------------

Now let me tell you about rclone

It is the best tool for better usage of gdrive -Best and Open source too

It is a CLI (Command line interface-used with cmd in windows and termux in android)

But there is GUI (App)too for rclone - GitHub - kapitainsky/RcloneBrowser: Simple cross platform GUI for rclone. Supports macOS, GNU/Linux, BSD family and Windows.

And don’t worry , rclone from CLI is the best and fastest with no limitations ( EASY)

RCLONE IS EASY - Keep this in your Mind

Don’t listen to those fools who tells you otherwise

With rclone you can transfer only 750GB per day

To overcome that we can use :

  1. Folderclone : https://github.com/Spazzlo/folderclone ((Fast) (Some errors)

2.Autorclone : GitHub - xyou365/AutoRclone: AutoRclone: rclone copy/move/sync (automatically) with thousands of service accounts (Slower) (Accurate)

3.Gclone : GitHub - donwa/gclone: rclone mod (Fast and accurate)

4.Fclone : Releases · mawaya/rclone · GitHub (fastesssst) (not so accurate)

5.Gdutils : GitHub - roshanconnor123/gd-utils: Just another GD Bypass tool! (faster than gclone and accurate) (my favourite)
