Cannot download large files from Dropbox mounted via SMB share

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I have rclone mounted on an Ubuntu system and shared out via SMB. Recently, while attempting to download large files (in excess of several hundred GB) to a system that has this mounted, I get a message that the operation is not supported.

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

1.52.3

Which OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit)

Ubuntu 18 64 bit

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

Dropbox

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

rclone mount Drop: ~/Drop --allow-other -vv```

hello,

  • can you post your config file, redcating passwords and ids.
    rclone config show Drop

  • we need to see the exact message so can you post the debug output?

  • not sure what sharing via smb has to do with it?
    if you do not share via smb, then you do not have a problem?
