Thank you for making and maintaining rclone. It is truly a blessing.

I came across rclone at work because "Copy or move data to Azure Storage by using AzCopy v10" is a lie, it literally can't `move` files, only `copy` them.

I can't express in polite words how pathetic it is to see the only official blob storage bulk transfer CLI tool from a multi-trillion-dollar company fail to do the simplest, most essential functionality after ten major revisions.

Meanwhile, rclone Just Works(tm).

Thank you from me too!

  • Do not try and move the files; that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth... Delete them after you copy.

    • Right? If you move between file system or device I would expect "move" to be impossible. At best you could copy a logical block and then delete a logical block. If you share a filesystem then perhaps a logical block is a few hundred kilobytes. If you don't then I'd expect the smallest logical block to be the file itself.
