What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I don't know the commands I need. I am using Windows 11. I am trying to mount my Dropbox (all folders) as a drive to File Explorer (Drive N:) I can do it, but I want it to run when I start Windows. The command I used was:

rclone mount Dropbox:/ N:

I installed nsmm into Rclone directory and added Rclone as a service. It shows in services. But not when I reboot.

I installed WinFsp on my system, but did no configuration on it.

How do I have the Dropbox folders show up as a drive N: on Windows Start?

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

Release v1.69.3

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

Dropbox (I have it connected already)

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

Please run 'rclone config redacted' and share the full output. If you get command not found, please make sure to update rclone.

[Dropbox]
type = dropbox
token = XXX

welcome to the forum,

when running as a service.

  1. use a rclone debug log
  2. specify fullpaths
  3. make sure rclone can find the config file

so something like
c:\path\to\rclone.exe mount Dropbox:/ N: --config=c:\path\to\rclone.conf --log-level=DEBUG --log-file=c:\path\to\rclone.log

fwiw, the easiest way to run rclone mount on boot, or on a schedule, is windows built-in GUI, task scheduler.
that is what i use instead of nssm.
i have posted about that in detail a few times, including screenshots.
