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 ?
