What is your current rclone version (output from rclone version)?

1.55.1

What problem are you are trying to solve?

I'm working on a tool that uses rclone size in generate a report of drive sizes. This is hard to do because the output doesn't have information that correlates the data to the drive. The end result is a log file of count:bytes pairs that don't indicate which drive they belong to.

How do you think rclone should be changed to solve that?

Modify rclone size to include the Drive ID. For example:

Drive ID: ABC
Total objects: 13629
Total size: 116.126 GBytes (124688889989 Bytes)

Or, with the --json flag:

{"id": "XYZ","count":1,"bytes":0}

Research direction
Examine the rclone size command implementation in the codebase, likely in cmd/size/. Look at how output is generated for both plain text and JSON. Determine how to retrieve the Drive ID from the remote handle (e.g., via fs.Fs method). Add the Drive ID to the output strings, ensuring consistency with existing flags like json. Check the issue comments for any specific suggestions or maintainer feedback.
