What is the problem you are having with rclone?
RClone fails to create a Config with the following error:
Error: config failed to refresh token: failed to start auth webserver: listen tcp 127.0.0.1:53682: bind: Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted.
I am only seeing this on one colleagues Windows 11 system.
I had tried running rclone with rcd and using --addr localhost:0 to allow get an available port from the system.
Then I issued the command again using -rc, json and the address and port returned by the rcd call.
That too returned the same error.
Additionally I have cleared the browser cache before each attempt as well.
We also retried with all Firewall and Antivirus turned off
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

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)
C:\Program Files\IDM Computer Solutions\Common\UltraCloudStorage>rclone config create GoogleDriveTest3 drive --log-file "C:\temp\uftp\rclone\rclone_log.txt" -vv
The rclone config contents with secrets removed.
Note: It appears to have created an entry but because of the authetication error there is little information filled out for the account.
[GoogleDrive]
