What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I've (I believe) rclone config to be setup correctly for Proton Drive. It has a user and password. And obvs Proton Drive (#39) was selected.
Instantiating the web-GUI requires the user and pw. Inputting those does not access the web-GUI. The terminal shows:```

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

'''rclone v1.67.0

  • os/version: debian 12.6 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 6.1.0-23-amd64 (x86_64)
  • os/type: linux
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.22.4
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: none

Are you on the latest version of rclone? You can validate by checking the version listed here: Rclone downloads
--> YES (thanks)

hi,

the username+password used to create the proton drive remote has nothing to do with the username+password for the webgui.

run rcd --rc-web-gui with -vv and you will see the username+password

rclone rcd --rc-web-gui -vv
DEBUG : rclone: Version "v1.67.0" starting with parameters ["rclone" "rcd" "--rc-web-gui" "-vv"]
DEBUG : Current tag: v2.0.5, Release tag: v2.0.5
NOTICE: Web GUI exists. Update skipped.
INFO  : No username specified. Using default username: gui
INFO  : No password specified. Using random password: pApmhWC9eZPgi9XDXvFEdQ

or can specify the webgui username+password
rclone rcd --rc-web-gui -vv --rc-user=username --rc-pass=password

on the command line, run rclone config redacted and post the output.

; empty config

at this point, what do you need help with?

The Proton Drive has a password. RClone has a password. And, the RClone web-gui also has a login for a password. I cannot tell whether they must all be the same or all different. (I'm in my 70s, and I apologize if this is stupid.)

  1. run rclone config to create the remote for proton drive.
    after that, the remote config would look like
rclone config redacted protondrive:

[protondrive]
type = protondrive
username = XXX@protonmail.com
password = XXX
2fa = 059869
client_uid = XXX
client_access_token = XXX
client_refresh_token = XXX
client_salted_key_pass = XXX
  1. test the new remote
rclone lsd protondrive: -vv
2024/08/30 08:58:44 DEBUG : rclone: Version "v1.67.0" starting with parameters ["rclone" "lsd" "protondrive:" "-vv"]

What did I do wrong?

Scotty@debian:~$ rclone lsd protondrive: -vv
2024/09/02 16:15:23 DEBUG : rclone: Version "v1.67.0" starting with parameters ["rclone" "lsd" "protondrive:" "-vv"]

please post the output of rclone config redacted

scotty@debian:~$  rclone config redacted
[protonremote]
type = protondrive
username = xxxxxx@protonmail.com
password = XXX
### Double check the config for sensitive info before posting publicly

the remote you created is protonremote, so need to use that

rclone lsd protonremote: -vv
