Google Drive Error 400: invalid_request (v1.63.1)

Help and Support
1

I just got rclone v1.63.1 and when trying to set up an rclone config (for GOOGLE DRIVE) it keeps taking me to the old auth method which rclone (to my knowledge and use) stopped using since January when google retired it. But for some reason it does it when I do it on a headless machine.

This is the output

Verification code

Go to this URL, authenticate then paste the code here.

https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?access_type=offline&client_id=xxxxxxxx.apps.googleusercontent.com&redirect_uri=urn%xxxx

Which threw me off because I thought google updated to oauth3

Could you update your rclone to the latest version (v1.63.1)? There is no point in troubleshooting some ancient one.

From your log:

admin@TheSwagShack[...pts/rclone/rclone-v1.63.1-linux-amd64]$ rclone config -vv
2023/08/04 22:29:06 DEBUG : rclone: Version "v1.56.1" starting with parameters ["rclone" "config" "-vv"]
2023/08/04 22:29:06 DEBUG : Using config file from "/home/admin/.config/rclone/rclone.conf"

You downloaded v1.63.1 but you still run old v1.56.1

I guess you have your OS not well maintained repo version installed. The best way to be up to date is:

$ sudo apt remove rclone
$ sudo -v ; curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | sudo bash

and in the future to update:

sudo rclone selfupdate --stable
