Difficulty using own google drive `client_id`

STOP and READ USE THIS TEMPLATE NO EXCEPTIONS - By not using this, you waste your time, our time and really hate puppies. Please remove these two lines and that will confirm you have read them.

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Using my own API client_id and `client_secret` for Google Drive.

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

rclone v1.71.0
- os/version: ubuntu 22.04 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 6.8.0-84-generic (x86_64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.25.0
- go/linking: static
- go/tags: none

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

Trying to configure the Google Drive. It is working with the standard configuration (general token).

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

Paste command here

I am following the procedures here Google drive to configure my own token (client ID and secret) on remote "Unesp2".

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

[Unesp2]
type = drive
client_id = XXX
client_secret = XXX
scope = drive

[Unesp]
type = drive
token = XXX
root_folder_id = XXX
team_drive = 

[Unicamp]
type = drive
token = XXX
root_folder_id = XXX

[Unicamp2]
type = onedrive
token = XXX
drive_id = XXX
drive_type = business

[local]
type = local
### Double check the config for sensitive info before posting publicly

A log from the command that you were trying to run with the `-vv` flag

I strip out some secret info from the log, but the important is that in the last part I got stuck in the web page:

Editing existing "Unesp2" remote with options:
- type: drive
- client_id: ???????????????????????????
- client_secret: ???????????????????????????
- scope: drive

Setting your own is recommended.
See https://rclone.org/drive/#making-your-own-client-id for how to create your own.

Hello,

If you followed all the set up instructions correctly and you have made a “desktop app” in google cloud console and definitely have the drive API enabled in GCC then you could try using “config reconnect” like below, hopefully will be a quick fix for you:

rclone config reconnect Unesp2:

Already have a token - refresh?
y) Yes (default)
n) No
y/n> y

Use web browser to automatically authenticate rclone with remote?

Say Y if the machine running rclone has a web browser you can use

Say N if running rclone on a (remote) machine without web browser access
If not sure try Y. If Y failed, try N.

y) Yes (default)
n) No
y/n> y

Manually paste the auth link into the same browser that your google drive is signed in to. You won’t be able to connect to your drive if you’re using a different browser to authenticate.

Let me know if that doesn’t work

Yes. I did this procedure: the browser open with the correct page to log into. The screen "Something went wrong" come after. The last lines of rclone log said:

2025/10/09 18:29:23 NOTICE: Make sure your Redirect URL is set to "http://127.0.0.1:53682/" in your custom config.
2025/10/09 18:29:23 NOTICE: If your browser doesn't open automatically go to the following link: http://127.0.0.1:53682/auth?state=???????????????
2025/10/09 18:29:23 NOTICE: Log in and authorize rclone for access
2025/10/09 18:29:23 NOTICE: Waiting for code...

Is there a way to check if I did wrong some Google App configuration?

might double-check that

might open a private window with your current web browser and paste that url
or
try a different web browser.

and use a new name for the rclone remote

Thanks by the tip of try in another browser.

On Firefox (Ubuntu Snap, normal or private) I always get the error page. But in another browser that Firefox-Snap-Ubuntu I got it done.

(I could not test if there is a Firefox or Snap relation).

Hello everyone!!

I have an error regarding the client_id.

This afternoon I received the following email:

Basically the email says that I used the API for illegal activities, but everything I saved with rclone is encrypted and even so I've never had this problem before.

Logs Com o client_id

Google makes mistakes too. And this is most likely AI decision.

It does not have to be related to your content. Their policies also cover things like usage patterns. Colloquially speaking maybe you used it too much:) Especially if it is free account.

If I was you I would definitely appeal - at least to find out what they believe the issue is.

asdffdsa · October 11, 2025, 12:45pm

please post the output of rclone config redacted GDrive06:

might try:

using a rclone crypt to hide the filenames, directories and file contents.

Not sure if this helps but my config looks like this for Google Drive:

[remote]
type = drive
client_id = xyzddddddd-abcxyz.apps.googleusercontent.com
client_secret = SOMETHING-bigsecret
scope = drive
token = {"access_token":"<some randomx stuff>","token_type":"Bearer","refresh_token":"<more randomx stuff>","expiry":"<date stamp here>"}
team_drive =
