just specifying a destination dir (your .../Drive5/ path) is enough for rsync to
use the same name as the source file on the destination.

That is the case if {} contains simply a file name, but is not the case when {}
contains a relative path as well.

/path/to/root/path/to/file
cd /path/to/root

find . -type f -exec rsync {} /path/to/dest/{}
  => /path/to/dest/path/to/file

find . -type f -exec rsync {} /path/to/dest/
  => /path/to/dest/file

> For those instances where you want/need to specify a remote filename, see
the --protect-args (-s) option (which you can make the default via "export
RSYNC_PROTECT_ARGS=1", and which will eventually become the default in the
future).  Finally, the suggestion to use --files-from=- is a good one, which
fixes all quoting issues even on the local side.


10.0.0.11:/Drive5/\"{}\”

Works.
