What is the problem you are having with rclone?
Is there anyway to setup & configure an access token with Microsoft OneDrive Personal to be read-only? I have tried to use the advanced configuration tool to generate a token with read-only scopes, and the config file specifies only read permissions, yet I am still able to touch and delete a file using rclone.
I want to run rclone against a OneDrive setup but need to ensure that there is no chance that the token can be compromised or used to make changes to the drive.
Given that it is a OneDrive personal account, I do not have the ability to create an app registration in Azure.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
