Copying sparse files?

Open jo-erlend opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

I've tried using cp --sparse=always when copying a file to my Google Drive, but that doesn't work. It copies, but it copies the whole thing. Do you think it would be possible to make it work, or is there a limitation in the underlying system?

No, it's not possible as the Drive API doesn't support that feature.
