Comment: clarifying command syntax

rclone copy [name of remote as set up above]:[name_of_folder_or_file (if spaces in name, you can put quotation marks around this after the colon)] [/path/to/destination/folder/originalname, i.e. processing folder, etc. If you want to retain the original folder name, enter it here, quoted if there are spaces in it]]

Here is an example:

rclone copy dropbox:"RobertRadhika BirgeneauNahpal INT" "/media/sf_BCShared01/processing/2022_061acc/Radhika Nahpal INT" 

When transferring files from Google Drive (that do not include Google objects such as Docs, Sheets, and Slides) and additional analysis will most likely not be needed, such as a small transfer of word documents,  you can direct the output of Rclone to a folder that aligns with Archivematica's standard packaging structure. This will save some work later when preparing for Archivematica. Here is an example:

rclone copy googledrive:"RobertRadhika BirgeneauNahpal INT" "/media/sf_BCShared01/processing/2022_061acc/objects/Radhika Nahpal INT"

Extracting checksums

Some cloud providers have checksums stored in their system that you can extract and facilitate fixity checking. Some are unique to their system or some can be more standard types. Here is a general layout of the command to extract the checksums into a text file:

...

rclone hashsum dropbox dropbox:"RobertRadhika BirgeneauNahpal INT" --output-file /media/sf_BCShared01/processing/2022_061acc/submissionDocumentation/dropbox_checksums.txt

...

rclone hashsum quickxor onedrive:"RobertRadhika BirgeneauNahpal INT" --output-file /media/sf_BCShared01/processing/2022_061acc/submissionDocumentation/onedrive_checksums.txt

...

rclone hashsum md5 googledrive:"RobertRadhika BirgeneauNahpal INT" --output-file /media/sf_BCShared01/processing/2022_061acc/submissionDocumentation/checksum.md5

...

rclone checksum dropbox /media/sf_BCShared01/processing/2022_061acc/submissionDocumentation/dropbox_checksums.txt "/media/sf_BCShared01/processing/2022_061acc/RobertRadhika BirgeneauNahpal INT"

Confirm without local checksums/those that rclone generates:
