Can't Access Newly Created AppFolderData Remote

Help and Support
1

I created a new remote hoping to store my backups in the AppFolderData remote, but I’m not having any luck. I keep getting this error:

2018/04/27 21:11:44 ERROR : : error reading destination directory: couldn’t list directory: googleapi: Error 403: The granted scopes do not give access to all of the requested spaces., insufficientScopes

When I configured the Drive, I made sure I chose to use the AppDataFolder. This is what the remote looks like:

[AibanezKautschMe_ADF]
type = drive
client_id =
client_secret =
scope = drive.appfolder
root_folder_id =
service_account_file =
token = REDACTED

Do I need to use something else? I was under the impression rclone would create the folder there automatically and i’d have read access, but it doesn’t seem to be the case.

I just tried with my own client secret and ID. No luck.

I just tried running through the process (with the latest beta). Your config is missing this by the look of it:

root_folder_id = appDataFolder

$ rclone config --config /tmp/appfolder

Use auto config?
 * Say Y if not sure
 * Say N if you are working on a remote or headless machine or Y didn't work
y) Yes
n) No

If your browser doesn't open automatically go to the following link: http://127.0.0.1:53682/auth
Log in and authorize rclone for access
Waiting for code...
