Drive does not show up anymore after starting rclone service

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Rclone starts with no Errors. I did not change anything.
Last time I mounted my gdrive (without problems) on September 6.
But no Drive shows up in Windows Explorer nor is Y: accessible via cmd.

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

os/version: Microsoft Windows 11 Home 21H2 (64 bit)
os/kernel: 10.0.22000.1219 (x86_64)
os/type: windows
os/arch: amd64
go/version: go1.19.3
go/linking: static
go/tags: cmount

(I used an older version but did "selfupdate" while I tried to fix my issue.)

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

I use Google Drive.

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

rclone mount gcrypt: Y:

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

[gdrive]
type = drive
token = xxx
root_folder_id = xxx

[gcrypt]
type = crypt
remote = gdrive:/crypt
filename_encryption = standard
directory_name_encryption = true
password = xxx

A log from the command with the `-vv` flag

So i used a cache remote before (with Plex), and because i read about "Cache backend is deprecated" i removed it and changed my remote path manually in the .conf-File. Did not change any outcome (well, it removed some plex login errors).

When I try to set up a new remote and connect to my Google Account it goes *"Fehler bei der Autorisierung - *
Fehler 403: rate_limit_exceeded - Diese App hat vorerst das Limit für neue Anmeldungen erreicht. -
Google begrenzt das Tempo, in dem eine App neue Nutzer gewinnen kann." In english it would be sth like "This app has reached the limit for new logins for now. - Google limits the rate at which an app can acquire new users." So i cannot add another remote at this moment i think.

rclone ls gdrive: -vv shows a lot of going on, no errors.

Also I turned my pc off and on again...
Thank you so much, RM

hello and welcome to the forum,

tl;dir, need to create a client id/secret for gdrive
https://rclone.org/drive/#making-your-own-client-id

i believe that this has been discussed a number of times in the forum recently.
that rclone's default client id/secret has been abused some other websites and google is not happy.

so the output is correct, you see your files?

Thanks for this fast reply!
Ok, I did a new remote, called it "gsuite" instead of "gdrive" and fed it with my own api credentials.

Config for this remote is

[gsuite]
type = drive
client_id = xxx
client_secret = xxx
token = xxx
team_drive =

Starting with rclone mount gsuite: Y: says The service rclone has been started. but I still cant see nor access Y:\

rclone ls gsuite: -vv lists my encrypted files, no errors, like it did before with my old remote called "gdrive". Output seems to be correct!

So I figured if rclone is ok it probably is some very stupid windows issue...
I updated WinFSP 2022 from 1.10.22006 to 1.12.22339...

And i tried NOT TO start cmd as Admin.. and now i can see my Y: Drive, but its empty.
Must have messed sth up while trying to fix this stupid issue. fml.

asdffdsa · December 11, 2022, 1:06am

yeah, that can be a pain,
as a workaround, i always mount to a folder, not to a drive letter

rclone mount b:\rclone\mount\gdrive gdrive:
rclone mount b:\rclone\mount\gcrypt gcrypt:

Duke · December 11, 2022, 1:07am

Do not start in Admin Mode... Use old Config-File before you messed it up while trying to fix sth not broken....
Be happy it works again and dont worry about the hours you learned some cool new things about your pc and the tools you use....
