What is the problem you are having with rclone?

It's not a problem with rclone but with the previous step to enable rclone in Google Drive

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

Google Drive

Hi everyone, I haven't needed to create a new Google Drive configuration for rclone in over a year.
Following the tutorial Google drive, I got to step 5, but then the screen for choosing scopes didn't appear.

Is the tutorial outdated? Is there a direct link to the screen for adding scopes?

Hi,

Later on in the morning Sunday for me I will access my Google Drive and try and reproduce your problem.

Thanks a lot!

If there was a change in the procedure more users will have difficulty when trying to connect rclone via Google Drive

Sometimes the change is at the host. Then the software documentation needs an update.

A perfect example is Microsoft OneDrive the way to connect with a client ID and secret has recently changed and the documentation is now out of date.

Hi,

I just created a new project and adding the necessary scope is not straightforward.

When creating the scope I needed to Manually paste Scope from the rclone website into the project. You will need to do the same because the list of default Scopes doesn't include the one you need.

It's hard to describe in writing everything that you need to do. I fumble my way through it and it worked today on a new project.

I will try and create an instructional video for you if I have time today. After I create the video I'll need to blur out my personal information so it may be tomorrow before I have it available.

Thanks again! I'm sure the video will be helpful to other users. So, Google changed the screens or the process.

Thanks!
