Hi Folks. I am currently having some issues opening .docx files on libreoffice from an rclone mounted Google drive. Opening .docx files either opens them as blank documents or with the error message "Data could not be read from file".
I have posted here as opposed to Libreoffice's subreddit as downloading .docx files direculy from my google drive works. All other mounted document types work including .odt & moving files to my local drives then opening causes the same issue. Not sure if this is useful but all the files show as file size: 0kb, File type: MS Word document in file properties too. I have ensured the VFS cache mode is set to full.
What is the problem you are having with rclone?
