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

Google Drive

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

D:\rclone-v1.57.0-windows-amd64>D:\rclone-v1.57.0-windows-amd64\rclone.exe sync D:\ GDrive-SP:/SSD-64G --config "C:\Users\SP\AppData\Roaming\rclone\rclone.conf" --progress

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

[GDrive-SP]
type = drive
client_id = xxxx.apps.googleusercontent.com
client_secret = xxxxx
scope = drive
token = {"access_token":"xxxxxx","token_type":"Bearer","refresh_token":"xxxxx","expiry":"2022-12-23T12:13:14.4053042+05:30"}
team_drive = 

Pls help.

I tried the latest verion & still the same error.
rclone-v1.61.0-windows-amd64

:frowning:

See:

need to exclude System Volume Information so use a filter such as
--exclude="/System Volume Information/"

Yes, Thanks. It worked.
