Google Drive & RClone: Backing Up, Syncing & Copying
====================================================
Rclone supports several modes of syncing:
- "sync"
- "copy"
What are the differences?
From rclone's website:
> "Sync the source to the destination, changing the destination
only. Doesn't transfer files that are identical on source and
destination, testing by size and modification time or
MD5SUM. Destination is updated to match source, including deleting
files if necessary (except duplicate objects, see below). If you
don't want to delete files from destination, use the copy command
instead." ([ref](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_sync/))
Unless you want to perform deletion on the destination to match 100%
what's on the source, you will want to first look at the "copy"
operation.
