What is the problem you are having with rclone?
Using systemctl to do a fresh rclone mount. After starting the service or rebooting, I can see my files are properly located in the .gdrive folder. However, if I run "journalctl -u rclone -b", I get:
-- Logs begin at Mon 2021-03-08 03:36:20 UTC, end at Sun 2021-03-28 21:50:53 UTC. --
