Confusion with --drive-server-side-across-configs=true

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Hey guys, I am currently trying to do the following:

  1. Move a file from Google Drive (Account 1) to Google Drive (Account 2). From my understanding, the flag --drive-server-side-across-configs=true allows the file to be copied to the other drive without consuming the 750GB daily upload cap.

Both remotes are not encrypted.

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

rclone v1.64.2
- os/version: ubuntu 22.04 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 6.2.0-34-generic (x86_64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.21.3
- go/linking: static
- go/tags: none

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

Google Drive

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

rclone copy google:/Media/Movies/ googletest:/Media/Movies --transfers=12 --drive-server-side-across-configs=true --max-transfer 200G -vP

Please run 'rclone config redacted' and share the full output. If you get command not found, please make sure to update rclone.

This very confusing error means that the permissions are wrong...

The user running the destination drive needs permissions to read from the source drive.

I think you can fix this by sharing the Media/Movies in Account 1 with Account 2.
