Find account name with rclone config

Help and Support
1

Greetings. I have an Onedrive account and it was attached to rclone. However, I had to re-authenticate because a long time has passed and I don't know the name of the account. Can we find this out through the rclone.conf file?

welcome to the forum,

  1. to list the remotes, rclone listremotes
  2. to find the config file - rclone config file
  3. unless you have encrypted the config file, it is a simple text file. can open it with a text editor.

Thanks, but I mean, can I find my onedrive mail through the config file or not?

sorry, the answer is no.
the rclone config file does not contain the email address of the account that was used to authenticate.

I think the question is if it is possible to get email address from OneDrive rclone remote token... email address behind this specific OneDrive account.

AFAIK - nope.

For the future I recommend to use description field where you can put anything you want to remember - like account username/email address etc.

Hmm, okay. Thanks.

I get it, thanks.

now that i am thinking about it, the anwser is maybe yes, in a round about manner.
could be used to do a forensic analysis of a hack attack or such event.

tho, in the end, i would simply create a new remote for whatever onedrive account i wanted.

for example, with my rclone remote config for onedrive contains
drive_id = XXX

and if i login to that same account, using the microsoft website.
the url contains the same drive_id of XXX
https://onedrive.live.com/?id=root&cid=XXX
