How do I copy files from the public shared drive?

[KevinGB (Kevin Giberson)]

Hello how are you? Can you help me, please?

How can I make a copy of those folders that are shared with me (public link) for my Teamdrive?

I'm using these commands:

rclone copy --drive-root-folder-id 15xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx drive: drive:test

but I get this error:

2021/04/27 01:43:57 ERROR : file.mp4: Failed to copy: failed to make directory: googleapi: Error 403: Forbidden, forbidden

I used the old version and the latest version of rclone, and the same errors happen.

Am I using a wrong command? or can't copy?

I can copy the files through the Google Drive browser, but I would like to use rclone for that. Is there any possibility? even though they are public links that I accessed?

I want to make a direct copy to my TeamDrive or Google's 15gb Drive.

The help and support template really gets the information needed.

You need a remote for each and you can copy from one to the other.

Missing your rclone version, rclone.conf..

Google Drive - Copy shared with me files to team drive help

Something like this Use rclone to find the shared files first (this assumes your remote is called drive) rclone lsf drive,shared_with_me: Once you've found them, copy them to your drive rclone copy -v drive,shared_with_me:shared_files drive:unshared_files --drive-server-side-across-configs

When using this command, nothing happens.

c: \ rclone> rclone lsf MyDrive,shared_with_me:

c: \ rclone>

The reason we have the help and support template is to collect the required information to help you out.

Without knowing your setup, rclone.conf, etc, there isn't much to do in terms of helping you out.

Sorry, I sent the reply, but I think there was a problem, and the message was not delivered.

here it is:

[KGB]
type = drive
client_id = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
client_secret = xxxxxxxxxxx
scope = drive
token = {"access_token":"xxxxxxxxxxxxxx","token_type":"Bearer","refresh_token":"xxxxxxxxxxxx","expiry":"2021-04-27T20:20:55.9354155-03:00"}
team_drive = xxxxxxxx
root_folder_id =

The command you typed doesn't match with the rclone.conf

rclone lsf KGB,shared_with_me:

[KevinGB (Kevin Giberson)]

Yes, it is that I had hidden the "KGB" Anyway, nothing happens when using the command.

rclone lsf KGB,shared_with_me:

c: \ rclone> rclone lsf KGB,shared_with_me:
c: \ rclone>

Then I'd imagine it's not shared with you or the account you configured your rclone.conf.

[KevinGB (Kevin Giberson)]

So, can I only copy files shared with me?

Example:
I want to copy the files from this folder that is not shared with me, but is a public link:

Google Drive

Is there a way to copy the files to my team drive, or main drive? using rclone

[Animosity022]

So I think the confusion is that it isn't shared with you but a public thing.

How do I copy files from public Gdrive links to my Gdrive account?

server side is only between two remotes using the same backend. in your case, you are downloading from gdrive to local, so that does not apply. no --magic to get around that.

That post has how to grab a file ID for a file and copy it.

Ok, thank you so much!
