Sync the source to the destination, changing the destination
Version v1.57.0
2021-11-01 16:42:05 +01:00
only. Doesn't transfer files that are identical on source and
destination, testing by size and modification time or MD5SUM.
Destination is updated to match source, including deleting files
if necessary (except duplicate objects, see below).

**Important**: Since this can cause data loss, test first with the
Version v1.53.0

`--dry-run` or the `--interactive`/`-i` flag.

Note that files in the destination won't be deleted if there were any

errors at any point. Duplicate objects (files with the same name, on
those providers that support it) are also not yet handled.

It is always the contents of the directory that is synced, not the
directory so when source:path is a directory, it's the contents of
source:path that are copied, not the directory name and contents. See
extended explanation in the `copy` command above if unsure.
If dest:path doesn't exist, it is created and the source:path contents
go there.

**Note**: Use the `-P`/`--progress` flag to view real-time transfer statistics
Version v1.55.0
2021-03-31 20:12:08 +02:00
**Note**: Use the `rclone dedupe` command to deal with "Duplicate object/directory found in source/destination - ignoring" errors.

docs: add a new page with global flags and link to it from the command docs In f544234 we removed the global flags from each command as it was making each page very big and causing 1000s of lines of duplication in the man page. This change adds a new flags page with all the global flags on and links each command page to it. Fixes #3273

See the [global flags page](/flags/) for global options not listed here.
