So maybe a flag? `-archive` or something. I'm not sure, though, if detecting whether the source or destination is an archive file is trivial. For example: `folder source -> archive destination` creates an archive file, and `archive source -> folder destination` extracts it, regardless of backends being used. Go to Dropbox homepage and sign in with your Dropbox account. Rclone could take a folder or archive file on one end, and spit out the opposite on the other end. Transfer Files from Dropbox to My Computer by Directly Downloading 1. # How do you think rclone should be changed to solve that? Select the check box in front of the file or folder, and then click the Download button. In other words, rather than downloading the files and _then_ creating a zip or tar.gz archive, then deleting the original downloaded files, it'd be nice to download the files _as_ an archive, so that the files don't use so much extra space on disk just to make the archive. Go to Dropbox homepage and sign in with your Dropbox account. It could be useful to download or upload files as an archive, without having to _first_ download or upload the files _and then_ create the archive, causing the space usage to be almost doubled potentially. # What problem are you are trying to solve? # What is your current rclone version (output from `rclone version`)?
