Modification times and hashes
OpenDrive allows modification times to be set on objects accurate to 1 second. These will be used to detect whether objects need syncing or not.
The MD5 hash algorithm is supported.
Restricted filename characters
| Character | Value | Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| NUL | 0x00 | ␀ |
| / | 0x2F | ／ |
| " | 0x22 | ＂ |
| * | 0x2A | ＊ |
| : | 0x3A | ： |

| > | 0x3E | ＞ |
| ? | 0x3F | ？ |

File names can also not begin or end with the following characters. These only get replaced if they are the first or last character in the name:

| HT | 0x09 | ␉ |
| LF | 0x0A | ␊ |

Limitations
Note that OpenDrive is case insensitive so you can't have a file called "Hello.doc" and one called "hello.doc".
There are quite a few characters that can't be in OpenDrive file
names. These can't occur on Windows platforms, but on non-Windows
platforms they are common. Rclone will map these names to and from an
identical looking unicode equivalent. For example if a file has a ?
in it will be mapped to ？ instead.
rclone about is not supported by the OpenDrive backend. Backends without
this capability cannot determine free space for an rclone mount or
use policy mfs (most free space) as a member of an rclone union
remote.
