Different passwords for different remote configuration

Help and Support
1

Hi,

I have two different remotes with two different GoogleDrive accounts. I want to set up different passwords for each of these configurations.
I used "rclone config" and set up a password, but it sets the same password for both remotes.

Thanks!

hello and welcome to the forum,

you can only use one password to encrypt a rclone config file.

you can create two different config files, and have a unique password for each.

let me know if you have any questions

Hi, Thank you for your response.

Exactly, I have two remotes, and I want to have a unique password for each. Do you know how can I do that? Thanks a lot!

the password is for the entire config file.

I didn't get your point. Let me describe my situation.

I used "Rclone config" and added two different google drive accounts. Both of them are working, but I want to set up different passwords for each of them.

My understanding of your response is that, each of these google drive accounts should be in different configs file. Correct? I don't know how can I do that.

what are the name of the two remotes?

They are the names I used when I created remotes ("test1" and "test2" for instance)

copy rclone.conf test1.conf
copy rclone.conf test2.conf

then use
https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_config_edit/
delete remote test2 from test1.conf
delete remote test1 from test2.conf

then password protect each .conf file.

when you run rclone, you need to tell rclone which config file to use
