+### Root folder ID ###
+
+You can set the `root_folder_id` for rclone.  This is the directory
+(identified by its `Folder ID`) that rclone considers to be the root
+of your pCloud drive.
+
+Normally you will leave this blank and rclone will determine the
+correct root to use itself.
+
+However you can set this to restrict rclone to a specific folder
+hierarchy.
+
+In order to do this you will have to find the `Folder ID` of the
+directory you wish rclone to display.  This will be the `folder` field
+of the URL when you open the relevant folder in the pCloud web
+interface.
+
+So if the folder you want rclone to use has a URL which looks like
+`https://my.pcloud.com/#page=filemanager&folder=5xxxxxxxx8&tpl=foldergrid`
+in the browser, then you use `5xxxxxxxx8` as
+the `root_folder_id` in the config.
