hello and welcome to the forum

trying to narrow done your issue, can you explain in more detail?

on the machine that is running rclone, does it have have a web browser?
if not, then need to run rclone on a machine with a web browser
https://rclone.org/remote_setup/

can you run rclone config -vv and post the output.
make sure to redact/delete id, secrets, tokens
and if there is any error message in the web browser, a screenshot snippet

i was able to create a gdrive remote using v1.60.0

did you publish the app as production?
based on the screen snippet, if your app is in testing, i think you need to explicitly add users.
