No problem, but I rushed through install with less understanding than I should have and would like to start over. How may I do so?
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
$ rclone version
rclone v1.60.1-DEV
os/version: ubuntu 24.04 (64 bit)
os/kernel: 6.8.0-39-generic (x86_64)
os/type: linux
os/arch: amd64
go/version: go1.22.2
go/linking: dynamic
go/tags: none
Are you on the latest version of rclone? You can validate by checking the version listed here: Rclone downloads
-->
No, I just used apt from ubuntu. I see that I am seven versions behind latest and probably should upgrade. If I do that, will my remote go away? I have no problem if that is true.
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
Google Drive
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
Paste command here
No particular command. What I want to understand and don't is how I access the remote I created with tools like the command line or Nautilus.
Please run 'rclone config redacted' and share the full output. If you get command not found, please make sure to update rclone.

I just want to start over. My use case is extremely small. I am a single user, not part of an organization. I merely want to share one or two files among multiple computers.
Thank you very much for your help. I have watched a few tutorials and now understand what the config routine is doing.
$ rclone lsd myremote: -vv
2024/08/05 16:13:26 DEBUG : rclone: Version "v1.67.0" starting with parameters ["rclone" "lsd" "myremote:" "-vv"]

2024/08/05 16:13:26 DEBUG : 6 go routines active
and then
$ rclone ls myremote: -vv
2024/08/05 16:18:16 DEBUG : rclone: Version "v1.67.0" starting with parameters ["rclone" "ls" "myremote:" "-vv"]

How then do I
access the files with an app on the local machine
save changes that propagate back to Google Drive
if other devices change files on the Google Drive, have the most recent version load when the machine with rclone accesses them.
in other words, keep them in synch.
Hey, I tried the rclone mount command and it did what I wanted it to (the files in my Google Drive now appear on my file system) but it never returned; that is the process is still going, and it has been that way for 15 minutes. Is this a problem, can I just kill the process, or what?
Make source and dest identical, modifying destination only.
But I want this to work bidirectionally. If a file in the local directory is changed, I want that propagated out to the remote (Google Drive). If a file on the remote is changed by another device, I want that propagated back to the machine running rclone.
I have gotten myself into a pickle playing around with rclone and systemd and now I am in a state I can't seem to get out of.
I created a mount called wopa: in my configuration file, a Google Drive folder. I mounted it at $HOME/wopa. (I actually spelled it out, didn't use $HOME). At one point it worked. but I wanted it running as a service. I tried different commands putting rclone mount in systemd and things didn't work.
Whatever I may have done, I now find myself in this situation:
cd $HOME
$rclone delete wopa:
$ ls -al
ls: cannot access 'wopa': Transport endpoint is not connected
total 2849384
...
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? wopa
$ ls -al wopa
ls: cannot access 'wopa': Transport endpoint is not connected
$ rmdir wopa
rmdir: failed to remove 'wopa': Device or resource busy
