What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Same as Excel issue with RClone mount : r/rclone

After the first save of an open Excel file (on a rclone mounted OneDrive folder), further save requests receive a warning that the file has been changed.

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

  • go/version: go1.19.8

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

welcome to the forum,

that is a many years old, custom compiled, dev version from an out of date repository.

so, can update.

  1. uninstall that version
  2. https://rclone.org/install/#script-installation
  3. test again

Yesterday I had the opportunity to try out the current version, but the result was not clearly different. However, I could see how the mtime changes again after writing. Apparently when the synchronization was performed. That would also explain the warning message in Excel. But I also have a parallel problem with the file timestamps on the client with the samba share on the rclone mount. So I need to do some more research to clarify things.
