rclone config

I ignored all deviations from the video, and it seems good enough.

By pressing 1 gave infinite access to rclone. Maybe there are other options, like one folder in particular. Should go for that !!!

Once done (Still in the video)

rclone listremotes

out:

GokulDrive:
GokulDrive-one-folder: ---

rclone mkdir GokulDrive:rclone-test-folder

out:

Creates in folder in drive! Waaaat!

Copies files from PC to GokulDrive

rclone copy agent18/g-drive/ GokulDrive:rclone-test-folder

Syncing PC from Gdrive

rclone sync GokulDrive:rclone-test-folder agent18/g-drive/

This is cool. It actually syncs. :)

Check Rclone if synced?

rclone sync GokulDrive:rclone-test-folder agent18/g-drive/
