Curious about the status of your ongoing Blomp Go transfers? Here's a tip

Hey everyone,

As I continue to learn about how Blomp Go/rClone handle transfers, I have picked up a couple of tips and tricks along the way. This particular one has really come in handy.

As you know, if you assign a folder or drive letter when starting Blomp Go, you can copy and paste your files to the cloud drive. At first, I didn't realize that when Windows Explorer shows that process as being complete that there is still a background rclone process running, actively uploading those files, which resulted in some data loss for me as I deleted files from my hard drive before the background upload process had completed.

After some research, I found a way to check on the status of that background process, so you have a better idea of when your files have finished properly uploading to the cloud drive.

On Windows 7/9/10/11, in the search bar on your taskbar, type cmd.exe to open a command prompt window.

From there, follow these commands:

cd \
cd Program Files (x86)
cd Blomp Go

You should have a active directory that looks like this (C:\Program Files (x86)\Blomp Go)

From there, type rclone rc core/stats

It will list all of the active transfers, and their percentage of completion!

This was extremely helpful for me, and I hope others find this tip helpful as well!
