      Image taken from WinSCP:
      alt text

      Image taken from Android (I even checked the box to show hidden folders):
      alt text

      My saves and test folders appear in WinSCP, in the file explorer through Emulation Station, but is no where to be found in Android.

      All of these folders have the same permissions.

      I don't understand.

      Might help me make some sense on why Rclone isn't uploading correctly to my Google Drive account.

      Any help please?

        That "test" folder has nothing in it.

        In WinSCP, I made a new folder for that.

        I was perhaps thinking the "saves" folder had some weirdness being sym linked or whatever.

        They both don't show in Android though.

        Could someone help me make sense on this?

        I'm lost with no understanding why Android doesn't see them.

        They should all have the same permissions, so what am I missing here?

        I just want to get Rclone working again properly.

        Cheers. :)

          Are the same location or two locations that should match but do not?

          My first thought if they are two locations and you mentioned one folder being empty is that there may be an option to copy empty directories that you are missing. Of course that won't be the answer if there are files in the folders.

          Ther may also be a default behavior to not follow sym links when cloning over. I'm more familiar with rsync and have not used rclone before.

            The second one is using SMB ("Samba-shares") protocol, not SCP ("secure copy"). You can configure the SMB server in the device's /etc/samba/smb.conf or you can use an SCP client on your phone.

              That's probably it.

              I'll look into this tonight.

              Thank you!

                I've got autosync back.

                So super happy.

                Thought for some reason I lost this feature for sure.
