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

A log from the command with the -vv flag

Not an option for me, As I am still configuring rclone

I can't make my own client_id as my school does not allow that!
I need help for that.

hello and welcome to forum,

without your own client_id, rclone has to use it owns client_id.
and that is not working well these days

https://forum.rclone.org/t/google-drive-error-403-rate-limit-exceeded-when-authorizing-rclone/34565/2

https://forum.rclone.org/t/google-cloud-sign-in-limit-rate/34772/3

ask admin about that because edu account will get restriction when they reach 100tb storage

I have created my own client_id, Still, I face the same issue after uploading a few files.
