hi mfmaa03,
You can simply follow the instructions here:
After downloading nssm, I simply put nssm.exe in the same folder as rclone. Then, I use the nssm GUI to configure rclone as a Windows service:
nssm GUI
Remember to put all the rclone arguments in the “Arguments” field.
Note that when registering rclone as a Windows service, you need to explicitly specify the location of rclone’s config file (e.g. --config=“C:\Program Files\rclone\rclone.conf” ), because rclone is being started by the system account, not a user account anymore, so the default folder for conf file could be different from where you used to put the config file before.
After the configuration, it will automatically start upon reboot. You can also run “services.msc” to stop/start/restart the service whenever you want.
