What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I am trying to backup a dropbox to a smb share that is locally connected as bread.local
I succeeded in trying to setup rclone remotes for both the dropbox and smb. I also succeeded in running the rcopy command and running a shell script containing the command. However, i am activating that shell script via a Mac LaunchAgent and in that case, the script cant connect to the smb. I already added a generous sleep timer to the script to delay its execution after startup for a while, so that all networks can be mounted correctly. Still, that error occurs.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone v1.69.3
- os/version: darwin 15.5 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 24.5.0 (x86_64)
- os/type: darwin
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.24.3
- go/linking: dynamic
