Hello,
I wanted to share some files with someone that uses neither rclone nor gdrive. Rather than depend on the mercy of google's website I sent them a portable rclonebrowser+rclone with a custom remote I created using the folder ID and read-only scope. To my surprise, they checked the box for "Shared" and suddenly files shared with me were visible.
My question is, for my use case is there any way to limit this via the underlying oauth request from Google? Or am I stuck creating a user with nothing "shared with them"?
I completely realize the proper way of doing this is to share via google. I've looked through advanced and nothing appeared to apply to this, and of course searched the forum and get many false positives of people trying to get shared-with-me working. And here I am with the opposite problem
What is the problem you are having with rclone?
Seeing shared with me when remote is authorized for a specific folder ID.
What is your rclone version (output from rclone version
)
1.55.0
Which OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit)
Win10 64
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
Google Drive
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp
)
To test I run:
rclone limitedremote: --drive-shared-with-me
The rclone config contents with secrets removed.
[limitedremote]
type = drive
scope = drive.readonly
root_folder_id = removed
token = removed
Edit: apparently "removed" with square brackets is special even within backticks. oops.
