Hi. I’m beginning the process of moving old content from Google Drive to an external drive (that I mirror to another external drive). Here are my planned steps:
- Sync the folder to my local hard drive using Google Drive for desktop.
- Copy the whole folder to my primary external drive.
- Sync to my backup external drive (I’m using Free File Sync).
- Delete the folder from Google Drive.
The issue I just realized is the Google Drive folders have Google Docs files within them, and not in a single place. This prevents me from deleting the whole folder in Google Drive without losing those files. Is there any method to delete the quota-affecting files within a subfolder in Google Drive while leaving the Google Docs files in place?
I’m using Windows but also have a Mac available, in case that helps with step 4.
Thanks.
Thanks. rclone never ceases to amaze. I searched quite a bit before posting, but nothing about rclone having this functionality came up. Much appreciated.
