What is the problem you are having with rclone?
Certain video files will not sync to my local drive from Google Photos. They keep getting a 404 error.
I have even tried downloading the files, deleting them from Google Photos, and re-uploading them. Same issue.
I have other video files from the same date, similar in every way, that don't experience this issue.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

As you can see, C0320.MP4 and C0319.MP4 have the issue, while all the other files do not.
Any ideas? Thanks.
