Encrypted drives not being decrypted on second computer with Dropbox

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I have successfully setup rclone with Dropbox and encryption on one machine. I am able to properly decrypt all of the folders, however when I try to setup the same thing on a separate machine, I'm only seeing the encrypted folders and not the decrypted ones. I've tried both copying and pasting the config from the first machine, and also setting it up separately but it's just refusing to decrypt.

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

Working:

rclone v1.61.0-beta.6606.1dbdc48a7
- os/version: Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise N 21H2 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 10.0.19044.2311 (x86_64)
- os/type: windows
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.19.4
- go/linking: static
- go/tags: cmount

Not working:

rclone v1.61.0-beta.6582.a4c65532e
- os/version: ubuntu 22.04 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 5.15.0-56-generic (x86_64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.19.3
- go/linking: static
- go/tags: none

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

Dropbox

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

rclone lsd dropbox:

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

Working:

[dropbox]
type = dropbox
chunk_size = 128Mi
token = {"access_token":"","token_type":"bearer","refresh_token":"","expiry":"2022-12-08T15:20:46.8709052Z"}

[DHA encrypted]
type = crypt
remote = dropbox:/share
password = 
password2 = 

[Dropbox encrypted]
type = crypt
remote = dropbox:
password = 
password2 = 

Not working:

[dropbox]
type = dropbox
chunk_size = 128Mi
token = {"access_token":"","token_type":"bearer","refresh_token":"","expiry":"2022-12-08T15:20:46.8709052Z"}

Why are you using the beta?

That points to a non encrypted remote. You need to point to and/or create a crypt remote on the 2nd computer.

Yeah, I just realized that as I was re-reading the post, but when I add the encrypted share, it still doesn't decrypt.

As for why the beta, because I always run beta software.

Can you reply with what you've changed and the output?

I...am an idiot. Thanks Animosity. Rclone was working as intended, I was just lsding the wrong thing. I was doing dropbox: which it was reading from the config as [dropbox] and not lsding the encrypted share. I'll go back under my rock now.

Once again, thank you Animosity.

Sometimes the easiest fix to any problem is merely typing it out and having it read and it gets fixed :slight_smile:

Happy you are working!
