Rclone doesn't currently preserve the timestamps of directories. This
|
||||
is because rclone only really considers objects when syncing.

### Rclone struggles with millions of files in a directory/bucket

|

Currently rclone loads each directory entirely into memory before
|
||||
using it. Since each Rclone object takes 0.5k-1k of memory this can
|
||||
take a very long time and use an extremely large amount of memory.

Millions of files in a directory tend caused by software writing cloud

storage (eg S3 buckets).
|

Millions of files in a directory tends to occur on bucket-based remotes
|

(e.g. S3 buckets) since those remotes do not segregate subdirectories within
|

the bucket.

### Bucket based remotes and folders

Bucket based remotes (e.g. S3/GCS/Swift/B2) do not have a concept of
|

directories. Rclone therefore cannot create directories in them which

means that empty directories on a bucket based remote will tend to

disappear.
|

Some software creates empty keys ending in `/` as directory markers.

Rclone doesn't do this as it potentially creates more objects and

costs more. It may do in future (probably with a flag).
