Google Drive key expiry date

[rcloneuser]

Hi, it seems like my Google Drive key keeps reaching the expiry date and then it stops working. How can I prevent this?
I tried using the template but it says that I can't post more than 2 links.

Config:

[gdrive]
type = drive
scope = drive
client_id = [REDACTED]
client_secret = [REDACTED]
token = {"access_token":"[REDACTED]","token_type":"Bearer","refresh_token":"[REDACTED]","expiry":"2021-03-26T16:01:57.1583981+01:00"}

Rclone version:
rclone v1.53.3

• os/arch: windows/amd64
• go version: go1.15.5

Service: Google Drive
Windows 10, 64 bits

Command:

2021/04/07 19:50:45 Failed to create file system for "gdrive:\\Personal\\Backups\\bp_2021_04_07_19_50": couldn't find root directory ID: Get "https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files/root?alt=json&fields=id&prettyPrint=false&supportsAllDrives=true": couldn't fetch token - maybe it has expired? - refresh with "rclone config reconnect gdrive:": oauth2: cannot fetch token: 400 Bad Request

Does it expire every week? If so then check out this thread

Yes, that is right. It lasted for just a week last time. I’ve been using rclone for a year now and it is the second time that this has happened. I believe it has to do with Google Drive’s API rather than with rclone.

For now, I’ll copy my data to my Google Drive folder using rclone which works well too.
