i think /cygdrive/c/Users\ Shared\ Folders or "/cygdrive/c/Users Shared Folders" is just enough. you have too many escapes, one is enough. it's not a rsync problem, it's a problem about how escape works. and you can use filename completion, you can just enter /cygdrive/c/Users or “/cygdrive/c/Users, then press tab button, then it will give you /cygdrive/c/Users\ Shared\ Folders or "/cygdrive/c/Users Shared Folders"
