Sync: make destination the sames as source, delete anything else on destination
Copy
Example copy a drive to the cloud, excluding dot files and some others:
.\rclone.exe copy x:\ remotename:foldername --exclude '.**' --exclude=**.tmp** --exclude *.ffs_lock --exclude Thumbs.db --progress --log-file=foldername.txt --dry-run
--dry-run --progress
Sync
.\rclone.exe sync ...
The sync subcommand makes the source and destination identical, modifying only the destination. Files in the destination not in source are deleted.
Exclusions
Exclude dot files (hidden files with filenames beginning with a period):
--exclude '.**'
Logging
https://rclone.org/docs/#log-level-level
Log levels are, from least verbose to most: ERROR or NOTICE or INFO or DEBUG. The default, NOTICE, is usually sufficient.
--log-file mylogfile.txt --log-level INFO
