FileLu don't work

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

FileLu does not work: I have linked the accounts by entering the SSCE key and they appear in Explorer. However, I get error both loading from Explorer interface and commandline.
ERROR : file.zip: Failed to copy: failed to list existing files: API error: Invalid FileLu Rclone Key from cmd.
File upload failed from gui.
I am sure that the key is right.

After that, I would also like to merge the accounts, so that I can write to them as if they were one folder, which I think is done with Union merges the contents of several upstream fs

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

rclone v1.70.3

  • os/version: Microsoft Windows 10 Education 22H2 22H2 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 10.0.19045.6093 (x86_64)
  • os/type: windows
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.24.4
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: cmount

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

FileLu

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

"rclone.exe" copy file.zip myFilelu:

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

[myFilelu]
type = filelu
key = ***

This looks like your FileLu key is not correct. Your config should look like this

TestFileLu]
type = filelu
key = RC_xxxxxx

You will find the rclone key here FileLu - Free File Upload And Secure File Storage Platform - you need to enable it and use that as the key in the config.
