# Copy between two drives
rclone copy SourceConfigName:/source-file-path DestinationConfigName:/destination-file-path
# eg: rclone copy GoogleDrive:/Public Onedrive:/Temp -P --ignore-existing
  • Use --ignore-existing flag to ignore existing files
  • Use -P/ --progress flag to view real-time transfer statistics.
  • Use --dry-run flag to test without copying anything
  • --drive-server-side-across-configs flag allow Google Drive server-side copying
  • --onedrive-server-side-across-configs flag allow Onedrive server-side copying

It's highly recommended that you use --dry-run flag to test the command once before actually copying anything and read through the Rclone official docs. If you need to copy a large amount of files, use Tmux or Screen to keep it running in the background or it will stop transferring once you disconnect the SSH
