Files "corrupted on transfer" in last few weeks

I've been contacted by the owners of a server I set up a few years ago who say their reports are no longer sync-ing to Google Drive in the last few weeks (maybe more recently). On investigation, I see "corrupted on transfer" errors when I try to manually sync the "./reports" directory.

I can't see any changes to the server since I last checked it more than a year ago (they don't have any command-line/cpanel access). The target Google Drive account has several Gb free, and the files being copied are only a few Mb in total. I can see that some existing files are correctly updated (or maybe just the update date is being updated) but others are not. I can't see any new files that have sync'd successfully. All of the files in question are Excel spreadsheets, and they open fine when manually downloaded.

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

# rclone version

rclone v1.51.0

- os/arch: linux/amd64

- go version: go1.13.7

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)

$ sudo rclone copy reports gdrive:reports --drive-import-formats xlsx,docx,pptx --update

hello and welcome to the forum,

not sure the exact issue but best to update to latest stable v1.58.1

That isn't ringing any bells... I didn't think rclone should be checking the sizes after the transfer anyway for google docs.

Have a go with the latest version - there have been 88 changes to the google drive backend since v1.51!

Ahh OK, will do. I tried 'apt get update; apt-get upgrade rclone' and it said 'rclone is the latest version' so I may have to do a full OS upgrade (dies inside) or try a build from source.

Not everything is meant to be installed via a package.

Rclone is one of those.

The binary can be updated very easily.

Install (rclone.org)

I'd remove the package, install the binary and go that route.

Removed the old package, installed the latest as documented, worked first time ...

Thanks for your help :slight_smile:

David
