What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I have a remote on Box that works OK with other hosts but when I try & configure on a particular VPS it does not work with Box. It works OK with Google Drive & Dropbox

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone version

rclone v1.63.1

  • os/version: almalinux 8.8 (64 bit)

  • os/kernel: 4.18.0-348.12.2.el8_5.x86_64 (x86_64)

  • os/type: linux

  • os/arch: amd64

  • go/version: go1.20.6

  • go/linking: static

  • go/tags: none

Are you on the latest version of rclone? You can validate by checking the version listed here: Rclone downloads

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

Box

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

 rclone lsd Box2:

There is problem with you box account permissions. Maybe during remote creation you chose user vs enterprise or vice versa?

3

It's not that. I tried copying the rclone.conf from a working host & still get the error. I tried configuring the remote from scratch on this host & get the error. It's some problem with this host. The other remotes (Google Drive & Dropbox) work OK on all hosts.

4

means that Box is not replying usual json but pure html - they should not do it.

Would you mind to run:

rclone lsd Box2: -vv --dump headers

It should show us more details what is happening.

I wonder if it has anything to do with this description from docs:

This means that if you

Don't use the box remote for 60 days
Copy the config file with a box refresh token in and use it in two places
Get an error on a token refresh

then rclone will return an error

I am not Box expert and frankly this is not entirely clear for me why it fails if used on two different machines.

Maybe somebody can explain it.

In the meantime we have documented (it is on beta release docs site) how to create Box client_id/secret. This might be the way to go for you to create separate ones for each machine you use Box from.

When you create them then you have to run rclone config and create new Box remote providing client_id/secret in the process. Web browser authentication should now mention your own app name instead of default rclone

7

I tried creating a new Box remote specifying Client ID & secret but get just the same error.

I think that I am going to have to give up on getting this running on this particular host. I have one seedbox off in the cloud & several Macs here at home that don't exhibit the problem. There is just this one seedbox that doesn't work as advertised. I only paid $11 to rent it for a month so I think that I am just going to cancel it & write off the $11.

8

I am puzzled what can be different on this particular host? Maybe date and time are out of sync?

9

It's obviously a problem with the VPS from Black Host. I just rented a VPS from OVH & copied over my rclone.conf. Everything works fine with Box on the OVH VPS.

10

Only what I can think of is that either Box blocks some IP addresses or Black Host has some misconfigured network (proxy or similar).

11

fwiw, for me, box works fine on blackhost.

user01@BH:~$ rclone ls box02:zork
        1 file.ext

have you tried rclone reconnect?

12

I ran rclone config reconnect Box: but still get the same error after reauthenticating.

13

[quote="asdffdsa, post:11, topic:40659, full:true"]

fwiw, for me, box works fine on blackhost.

I originally had a VPS from Black Host that worked OK with Box but the network speed seemed slo so they moved me to my current VPS. I have asked them to move me back to the VPS that works OK.

14

I got Black Host to migrate my VPS back to their Chicago data centre & I don't now get any errors when copying from Google Drive to Box.

15

ok, good to know.
