What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I'm unable to list files in a Google Drive remote I just configured. I have seen other posts reporting the same error on this command but I am only using one account and am on a recent of rclone.

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

rclone v1.57.0

  • os/version: ubuntu 21.10 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 5.13.0-28-lowlatency (x86_64)
  • os/type: linux
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.17.2
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: none

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)

rclone lsd myremote: -vv

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

[myremote]
type = drive
scope = drive
root_folder_id = 1
token = {"access_token":"[snip]"}
team_drive =

A log from the command with the -vv flag

EDIT: redeact personal info

That remote name is not the same as

That remote name.

You'd have to share the rclone.conf with the remote you are having a problem with.

5

Sorry, I forgot to redact the remote name in the second instance. Corrected above now.

6

Do you actually have root folder id = 1 in there?

7

Per the quickstart I left this blank on config. There's no folder of that name in the drive.

I think it really has a 1 in it as you get that error with a wrong root ID:

That's it! I must have made an error when i did the initial config. Deleted the remote and recreated with root folder id blank, did the trick. Thanks!
