@JochenGlueck Certainly didn't mean to come across as 'snarky' though I concede that my language can be blunt at times. I have no ill will towards you, we simply disagree which is fine. I've actually enjoyed the discussion and hope we can have another disagreement in future :)

@JochenGlueck I might add that I'm of the view that 'race', which is genetically determined, holds no social or political implications.

@JochenGlueck And regarding the lack of explicit use of the term 'race' within the study, this is no surprise, its a highly charged and emotional topic for people these days so my guess is they refrained from using the term. Isolating distinct genetic differences which can be used to group people clearly fits the mould to be regarded as 'race'.

@JochenGlueck In fact, the whole point of the study was to determine if there were in fact diagnostically significant genetic differences between ethnic groups and as it turns out, there is, (not a shocker by the way).

@JochenGlueck To sum up, race (skin color etc.) is based on biology (something inherited) and ethnicity is something learned (language and culture).

@DanielHatton I should clarify that last sentence. You cannot say a racially caucasian person is racially African if they happen to learn how to speak isiZulu language.

@sursula The comment about migrants, even if he specified migrants, is not necessarily about race at all. So you shouldn't automatically accuse someone of racism when there are other possibilities. Perhaps its not about race at all but culture or language. Unless you live under a rock, if you've ever been around migrants you will see most times they do not assimilate so they continue to speak their native tongue and may not make an effort to mix with the communities they live in. He may be referring to that in which case, its nothing to do with race.

Rclone sync does work both ways. Or instead you can do this: rclone mount MyGdrive: /home/Back_Up This will make it look like the whole Gdrive is in a folder on the system. You can drag&drop copy to or from it just like you would interact with any other folder.

You have to state the source AND destination, you can't just state one. In the command you gave me, you had only listed 2 destinations but gave no source. Destinations are indicated after the 'remote:' part of the command. So if 'Back_Up' is a source and you want to sync its data with the destination which also has 'Back_Up', then the command would be: rclone sync Back_Up remote:Back_Up

Your command structure looks incorrect. I can give you the exact command but you need to clarify, is 'Back_up' a file or folder? Is 'Test2' a file or folder?

You haven't given the source. 'Remote:' is for the destination. So the command should be: rclone sync SOURCE remote:Back_Up

To clarify, are you saying that you ran the rclone sync command and a new directory was created at the destination with the same name?

Ok, but in your command, when you specified the destination, did you put the folder path OR did you put the folder path and the file name?

Yes I see Google does, not all providers do. Perhaps then what you're looking for is Rclone sync?

Yes but sync IS copying, but in this case it seems to be closer to what you're asking than doing a copy alone. If you want to make source and dest identical, modifying destination only, then sync is it. If you have any new files which you've put in source, then they will be copied over to destination just as they would if you invoked the copy command. Try: rclone sync -i SOURCE remote:DESTINATION

To clarify, when you say a new folder is created, is the name identical or does it have a number or something else?

@StarDust 'Rclone copy' copies over the source to the destination, therefore it will copy over the new files. If it sees existing identical files in the destination, then it doesn't do anything with those identical files UNLESS they have changed. What commands are you using? Rclone copy does not create another directory unless its the name of a directory that doesn't already exist.

@StarDust You want to copy over only files which have changed, to the same destination, then this does that. I suggest you try it and see what happens. You can run the commands without copying anything, as it says by doing a dry run.

@Clumsycat To clarify, changing 'male' or 'female' to 'man' or 'woman' in the context of the OP's question would not change the intent of the question therefore in my view it is irrelevant.

@henning Objectifying language? Its also accurate. The issue here is that you attribute ill intentions to the words 'male' and 'female' when used in a context you personally disapprove of. In my view, the person who used those words in their comment did not mean them in a derogatory, belittling or 'dehumanising' way. Your perception is that those words are 'dehumanising' by default but that is your opinion. In my opinion and clearly the opinion held by some others here, is that those words are apt and hold no negative connotations.

@henning You're correct, it isn't ungrammatical, you simply prefer not to use those terms. To strengthen your point that it isn't standard English, you make the point that medical case descriptions use the nouns 'man' and 'woman'. I can counter your point with this; it is standard practice when describing a suspect to use the terms 'male' and 'female'. Even on 'Suspect Description Form' you can get from various police departments, those two choices are listed under 'Sex'. So, either way is correct, you can opt for whatever you prefer.

@xyz No, you should not interpret my opinion as such because my response was limited solely to addressing Konrads language policing.

@KonradRudolph Your profile mentions you 'dabbled' in biological research and yet, you castigated another user by incorrectly claiming the words 'males' and 'females' are only used when referring to animals. How can you claim to be knowledgeable in the field of biology and get such a rudimentary fact wrong? And instead of trying to answer the OP's question, you chose to attack someones credibility by suggesting they are deliberately using dehumanising language. I can also see you've spent much time on campus at universities, my advice is to leave your SJW nonsense out of your responses.

@causative I don't need someone else to give me certainty, but someone else can certainly take away my certainty.
