rclone move

Move files from source to dest.

Synopsis

Moves the contents of the source directory to the destination
directory. Rclone will error if the source and destination overlap and
the remote does not support a server side directory move operation.

If no filters are in use and if possible this will server side move
source:path into dest:path. After this source:path will no
longer longer exist.

Otherwise for each file in source:path selected by the filters (if
any) this will move it into dest:path. If possible a server side
move will be used, otherwise it will copy it (server side if possible)
into dest:path then delete the original (if no errors on copy) in
source:path.

If you want to delete empty source directories after move, use the --delete-empty-src-dirs flag.

See the --no-traverse option for controlling
whether rclone lists the destination directory or not. Supplying this
option when moving a small number of files into a large destination
can speed transfers up greatly.

Important: Since this can cause data loss, test first with the
--dry-run flag.

Note: Use the -P/--progress flag to view real-time transfer statistics.
