Hey! I see what you're dealing with. You're using Raidrive and a Robocopy batch on Windows 10, but now you have a Linux system where you want to copy files to your TeamDrive folder. You mentioned looking for a similar tool to Robocopy in Linux. Right now you use commands like: robocopy *local directory* *teamdrive directory* /mir /xo /xx /fft. If you're interested, there are alternatives such as rsync or rsync with network options, which can help you sync across platforms more easily. Let me know if you want more details!

rsync handles most of this. I’m not sure of the precise commands, but I believe -a and --delete work similarly to /mir, and --update is likely equivalent to /xo.

It seems you're interested in RSYNC or RSYNC connected via SSH.

a great idea would be setting up a team drive on Google Drive and using it as a shared network folder. from there you could simply copy and paste files initially, avoiding automation right away—still a solid starting point.

I’m not familiar with Linux tools focused on GD storage, though I understand rclone is mentioned as suitable for such purposes.

I was checking out RCLONE earlier, wondering what would work best for Windows. It seemed really complicated, so could you help me just set up the drive as a network folder without diving into the technical details?

Do they provide a native Linux interface? Rclone is quite straightforward to operate, just give it a shot.

I’m not familiar with team drive, robocopy, or raidrive. There’s a package called TeamDrive available on the AUR that links to a Debian package. You can also look into WebDAV or SFTPS for mounting it as a folder. I’m aware Dolphin in KDE simplifies setting up similar tools. Otherwise, Rclone or Rsync might be more suitable options.

I missed this post. If your using KDE there is a plugin for google drive support to mount it as a network folder. kio-gdrive. https://community.kde.org/KIO_GDrive Once installed you can just Navigate to Networks and add it.
