@silverwizard Is there some way you can perhaps mount Google Drive into your filesystem? Then you could just use plain old cp.

The only slight issue is that it fails, mounts nothing, with no logs or information, no matter where I attempt to use it.

Ya, it will pull the latest binary from rclone.org repo and overwrite the existing one

You may want to back up the original binary file beforehand
