To help avoid getting anyone's hopes up: rclone does not do automatic two-way sync. In rclone parlance, "sync" means to either pull all files from a remote and make a local copy match that, or do the opposite: push a local dir to a remote and update the remote to match the local one. Note that "match" means "delete anything in the target which is not in the source."
New user to rclone and I am wondering if the setup I want can be done through rclone.
I want to have a local directory in my computer that bi-directionally syncs to both Google Drive and DropBox as well as to my Synology NAS. There will be two Google Drive accounts (one for me and one for my wife) and one Dropbox account. I also have two Linux workstations running Ubuntu 22.04 and two Macbooks where I want the local directory to exist.
Basically anytime we put anything in either the cloud drives or the NAS or the local directories in the respective computers, it should get synced to all the other destinations.
There could be other stuff in the cloud drives or the NAS that I would just have the tool ignore. The sync should just be for that one specific folder. I do not want to deal with separate local folders for each cloud storage solutions.
Is this feasible? I am okay to run cron tasks in any of the computers; preferably the Linux ones.
