GDrive: Problem with Shared Drive and Service Account

Thank you in advance for your time!

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

After 4+ hours of tinkering, I cannot for the life of me get my service accounts to access my shared drive. I have tried everything I could find on the internet (and it wasn't much). I'm sure it's a simple fix but I need a second pair of eyes.

I have tried it with a custom client id, without, and everything I can think of in-between.

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

rclone v1.51.0-353-g5f71d186-beta

I upgraded to the beta after a recommendation from a tutorial online, but I had the same behavior on the latest stable version.

Which OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit)

Ubuntu Server 20.04 / 64 bit

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

Google Drive, Shared Drive

The command you were trying to run

rclone lsd shareddrive: --drive-service-account-file=/path/to/key/key.json --drive-impersonate user@email.com

My config:

type = drive
scope = drive
team_drive = XXX
client_id = XXXX
client_secret = XXXX
token = XXXX

Log of the command:

server:~$ rclone lsd teamdrive: --drive-service-account-file=/path/to/key.json --drive-impersonate user@email.com -vv

Any ideas?

Did you go through and give the service account the scope access?

Sorry if that's something you did but that was my first thought from the error message.

Yes I did, and I just double-checked to be sure.
