List directories in top level of your OpenDrive

rclone lsd remote:

List all the files in your OpenDrive

rclone ls remote:

To copy a local directory to an OpenDrive directory called backup

rclone copy /home/source remote:backup

Modification times and hashes

OpenDrive allows modification times to be set on objects accurate to 1 second. These will be used to detect whether objects need syncing or not.

The MD5 hash algorithm is supported.

Restricted filename characters

Character	Value	Replacement
NUL	0x00	␀
/	0x2F	／
"	0x22	＂
*	0x2A	＊
:	0x3A	：
<	0x3C	＜
>	0x3E	＞
?	0x3F	？
\	0x5C	＼
|	0x7C	｜

File names can also not begin or end with the following characters. These only get replaced if they are the first or last character in the name:

Character	Value	Replacement
SP	0x20	␠
HT	0x09	␉
LF	0x0A	␊
VT	0x0B	␋
CR	0x0D	␍

Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be replaced, as they can't be used in JSON strings.

Limitations

Note that OpenDrive is case insensitive so you can't have a file called "Hello.doc" and one called "hello.doc".

There are quite a few characters that can't be in OpenDrive file names. These can't occur on Windows platforms, but on non-Windows platforms they are common. Rclone will map these names to and from an identical looking unicode equivalent. For example if a file has a ? in it will be mapped to ？ instead.

rclone about is not supported by the OpenDrive backend. Backends without this capability cannot determine free space for an rclone mount or use policy mfs (most free space) as a member of an rclone union remote.
