Shout out to rclone (self.linuxadmin)

I needed to move a lot of stuff from dropbox to an AWS EFS today. The dbxcli tool does not do full directories, nor does it differentiate files from directories. Its 'ls' output is far from ideal for machine parsing as well.

I had resigned myself to spending most of my day writing something to parse and download recursively.

Then I stumbled on the fact that rclone supports dropbox as a remote. Hallelujah!!! Within minutes I was cloning things from dropbox to my EFS.

I will definitely keep this in mind the next time I am tasked to move things from a transfer-hostile cloud system.

It's dope, been using it to populate my Proton Drive recently. One of those tools that should get more recognition for being so awesome.
