What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I've configured a couple Google suite/workspace remotes - within google developer website, I've added a new application, enabled the drive API, etc . all according to the docs.
I generate a .json file and I can connect - however, from the linux command line, I only see files I specifically copy across, I do not see any of my existing drive files.
Also, from either the drive app on my android phone or the drive web app in my browser, I cannot see any of the files I copy across via rclone.
I've nuked out my config several times.
Using a "free" google account on another machine via oauth gives me full access to everything but being a gsuite account where I have paid for 100GB, it would be more advantageous to use my google suite account.
What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)
fedora 35 machine :
[glaw@optimus ~]$ rpm -qa |grep rclone
rclone-1.57.0-1.x86_64
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
google drive (google suite account)
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
[glaw@optimus ~]$ rclone -vv ls gdrive:

I have a "notes" directory created directly in the web gui -
https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1FmXGK66wyhZ7vYSN0Vn1XPaorxDNvRqQ
and have tried using that folder ID in my config but no good.
So this is working to a certain level, its just a matter of the files only existing in rclone or google drive web GUI
I've also tried the impersonate option and folder id "" like I've seen elsewhere in the forum
[glaw@optimus ~]$ rclone -vv --drive-root-folder-id "" --drive-impersonate george@geolaw.com lsd gdrive:
