What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I’m experiencing critical failures while using bisync. The error itself is a momentarily 401 unauthorized response from an OpenCloud webdav host, but while it claims to be retryable without --resync, it never creates listings and requires --resync on the next run. So far, I didn't have any without errors.
Additional information: OpenCloud is a owncloud infinite scale derivative and the syncronized folders are 230GB+ files from a local server, already previously copied via rclone copy.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone v1.72.1
- os/version: almalinux 9.7 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 5.14.0-611.45.1.el9_7.x86_64 (x86_64)

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
Webdav, specifically owncloud infinite scale, and already tried the other option provider as well.
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

Since the log is too big (123MB), and may contain sensitive information, I'm going to share the errors only and summary:
