Google Drive - Server side copy from a private folder?

Help and Support
1

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Attempted to copy server side from a folder to set to private/restricted to another folder set to private/restricted (seoerate accounts), but rclone was spouting 404 api errors.
Curious if it's even possible to copy server side between two private/restricted folders, on seperate accounts. It seems the only method that works is having the the folder I'm copying from set to "Public/Link shared with anyone.
I own both accounts.

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

rclone v1.52.3
  • os/arch: windows/amd64
  • go version: go1.14.7

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)

rclone sync -Pv "gdrive:folder" "gdrive2:folder2" -P --drive-server-side-across-configs

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

hello and welcome to the forum,

  • that is an old version of rclone, best to update.
  • what is the output of rclone ls -vv?
  • might be easier to test using rclone copy of a single file.
  • post the full debug log or at least the top 20 lines.
  • post the config file, redact id/secret/token/passwords/etc...
