What is the difference between Dry Run and Run? #154

Dry Run does not write actual data - you can use it to check which files will be "transferred" or are not in sync. It is to simulate all operation without making actual changes.

You should really read the rclone documentation.

-n, --dry-run

Do a trial run with no permanent changes. Use this to see what rclone would do without actually doing it. Useful when setting up the sync command which deletes files in the destination.
