  • Say Y if not sure
  • Say N if you are working on a remote or headless machine

if i click on N it says i have to run: rclone authorize “dropbox”

If your browser doesn’t open automatically go to the following link: http://127.0.0.1:53682/auth

I cant access localhost from remote… .and even if i create redirect to that remote port… via ssh … it doesnt work… i got page asking to allow rclone to access dropbox but if i click on Allow then connection is refused…

assume its bug?

I think you are misunderstanding.

If you pick headless, you need to go to a machine you have access to (like your laptop" and run the " rclone authorize “dropbox”"

It’ll prompt you there and you copy and paste the code in.
