What problem are you are trying to solve?

rclone mount should be able to exclude specific files/folders from uploading to remote (Aws S3).
For example, see the following directory structure
Folder1
          | Folder2
          | Folder3
          | Folder4
So here, how can I only stop folder3 from uploading/syncing back to aws S3.
Tried filter, but that doesnt stop files from uploading.
Is there any option/flag currently supported by rclone ?

Research direction

Start with the rclone mount command and its filter behavior, reproducing the reported Windows setup against AWS S3. Check whether existing filters affect uploads from mounted folders; done means a supported way to exclude Folder3 or specific files from being uploaded is defined and verified.
