Can't get clickable token with rclone config

Help and Support
1

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I'm trying to set up a remote with Google drive - Drive.
I have correctly configured the Google OAuth client (Ok)

  1. OAuth Client ID (OK)
  2. OAuth Client Passcode (Ok)
  3. Option scope = 1
  4. Option service_account_file = Default
  5. Edit advanced config? = n
    6.Use auto config?
  • Say Y if not sure
  • Say N if you are working on a remote or headless machine
    = n
  1. config_token option.
    For this to work, you will need rclone available on a machine that has
    a web browser available.
    For more help and alternate methods see: Remote Setup
    Execute the following on the machine with the web browser (same rclone
    recommended version):
    rclone authorize "drive" "eyJjbGllbnRfaWQiOiI0NTk1NTY4MjYxMjItb21uY2lvaTJsNnBvMzI0YjN0MWtiMmtpYXVlNWdzbTcuYXBwcy5nb29nbGV1c2VyY29udGVudC5jb20iLCJjbGllbnRfc2VjcmV0IjoiR09DU1BYLVRtYnRhSHd1dGxQejZXYzJ3Z2VnSDJYX0E2TnoiLCJzY29wZSI6ImRyaXZlLmZpbGUifQ"
    Then paste the result.
    Enter a value.
    At step 7: I don't have a clickable link? Example :
    Please go to the following link: https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/...
    But !
    rclone authorize "drive" "eyJjbGllbnRfaWQiOiI0NTk1NTY4MjYxMjItb21uY2lvaTJsNnBvMzI0YjN0MWtiMmtpYXVlNWdzbTcuYXBwcy5nb29nbGV1c2VyY29udGVudC5jb20iLCJjbGllbnRfc2VjcmV0IjoiR09DU1BYLVRtYnRhSHd1dGxQejZXYzJ3Z2VnSDJYX0E2TnoiLCJzY29wZSI6ImRyaXZlLmZpbGUifQ"
    And here I am stuck!
    I tried several times with different parameters but I always get the same result?
    Have a nice day and thank you for your help.

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

rclone-v1.59.1-linux-amd64.zip

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

Google Drive

Are you trying to authorize via a headless setup?

You are not supposed to get a clickable link.

You run rclone authorize drive and you get a item you have to copy and paste into the headless side.

It's documented here:

Remote Setup (rclone.org)

Thank you Animosity022 for your answer,
In my config I made a mistake at step:
Use auto config?

  • Say Y if not sure
  • Say N if you are working on a remote or headless machine

y) Yes (default)
n) No
y/n > n
I answered (n) instead of (y)
By answering (y)
Now I can access the link but I still get an error message! I do not know if it's normal ?
[Authorization error] Some parameters are deliberately hidden *********

If I understood the message correctly, I have to wait for Google's validation of the "OAuth client ID" authorization between two and three weeks?
Thanks for your help Richard :wink:

Are you trying to make a new client ID / secret ? Did you follow something to do that? I'm not sure what problem we are trying to solve.

Making your own client ID has steps here:

Google drive (rclone.org)

Once again a big thank you to you Animosity022,
When re-reading the procedure at the end, I forgot to publish The client_id, so it can't work! :slight_smile:
You found two errors I can't thank you enough :slight_smile:
Thank you for taking your time to help me. It's noob errors I'm sorry!

Have a nice day see you soon Richard :wink: :rofl:
