hi, i rclone a vault from google1 to google2.

thanks.
can somebody please help?
because I did tried myself.
but when I made a new empty vault,
then copy many files into it.
NOT EVERY TIME there will be empty folders that are like “2J, 4G” etc.
So I cant easily reproduce it and test myself.
help is really appreciated.
Thank you.
Tried to read manual at
In that example, all folders are with contents.
I dont know why my vault have many (30+) folders of “AZ” “4G” etc and they are
completely empty.
As I said rclone wont copy these empty folders (they know it’s a bug but
not yet corrected in the latest release).
So whether these empty folders are imporant or not is vital to me.
Thanks
ps: those 2letter empty folders are in the “d” subfolder, thanks
just found that indeed those 2 letter folders are not empty.
indeed is
/vault/d/FD/EABXFO7Y7455JK5QT2CT6AEQ6FQ4V/
however, both folder “FD” and folder “EABXFO7Y7455JK5QT2CT6AEQ6FQ4V” are of 0 byte.
from common sense, I think both folder “FD” and folder “EABXFO7Y7455JK5QT2CT6AEQ6FQ4V” are of importance.
which mean, currently if u use rclone to copy cryptomator vault from 1 cloud drive to another cloud drive,
it will lose A LOT of these 0 byte folders.
I dont know the exact use of these folders, but I do sure they are important after read the above security implementation.
Thanks anyway.
my solution is to copy a placeholder file into every folder of the vault.
pls see:
You can do this using the for command with the /r switch, which is used to enumerate a directory tree. For example, this will copy the C:\a.jpg file to the C:\Test folder and all of its subfolders:
for /r “C:\Test” %%f in (.) do (
copy “C:\a.jpg” “%%~ff” > nul
)
The for /r “C:\Test” %%f in (.) statement enumerates the C:\Test folder and all its subfolders and %%~ff returns the current folder name.
this little tool : remove empty directories may help locate empty folders.
so make sure all empty folders are filled with placeholder before rclone.
