What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I am using rclone to mount Azure Blob Storage as a drive in Windows. I am using Azure AD auth which is working fine since I started using the config from az cli - before that I could not figure out any config that would persuade rclone to login and get a token.
However I have a problem with a readonly container. The user has only readonly permissions to the container, but rclone still allows the user to write a file and then stores it in the vfs cache. The consequence is permission errors; this is also confusing for the user.
Is it possible to tell rclone that this container is readonly?
The idea is to have several containers showing as directories in Explorer so I don't want the entire mount to be readonly.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone v1.63.0
- os/version: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro 22H2 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 10.0.22621.1848 (x86_64)
- os/type: windows
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.20.5
- go/linking: static
- go/tags: cmount
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
Azure Blob Storage
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
rclone mount AzureBlob: T: --vfs-cache-mode full
The rclone config contents with secrets removed.
[AzureBlob]
type = azureblob
account = myaccount
env_auth = true
Example output:
The service rclone has been started.
