Mounting Rclone as a drive and sharing on the network

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I'd like to mount rclone as a drive on linux abd share it on my network

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: 6.8.8-3-pve (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

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

10 drive accounts combined to a Union ( currently testing with 3

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

I want to use 

rclone mount

however I'm not sure how I would mount it as a drive I assume it would look something like this

rclone mount n: /home/username/cloud

however this mounts as a folder

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

You are using Linux where everything is mounted as directories.

What exactly you mean by "mounting as drive"?

I want to make it so that after mounting Rclone I'm able to share it as a network drive to a few other linux/windows systems

hi,

on linux, share the mount using samba.
on windows, share the mount using net share or windows GUI

Alright I was trying to mount the remote however I am receiving this error

at first I thought that well fuse3 was not installed so I tried installing it

scarletdevil19@Rclone:~$ sudo apt install fuse3

fuse3 is already the newest version (3.14.0-4).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

fuse3 is already installed, I'm running this in proxmox and I saw this so I tried the command with --daemon

still no dice.

to keep things simple, do not use --daemon

?

so it wasnt found so I went to install it

cam't install so I tried as root as maybe it was a root command

scarletdevil19@Rclone:~$ modprobe fuse
-bash: modprobe: command not found
scarletdevil19@Rclone:~$ sudo apt install modprobe

Then I remembered her I need to enable it on proxmox, so I did that and restarted the container

ran the command again

now its just permissions looks promising, running the command again I'm able to mount it. now I just need to figure out how to share it with the rest of my network

nice

what protocol do you want to use?
smb/samba, sftp, nfs, or what?

It'll have to be SMB or SFTP which one do you think would be faster an I'm planning on doing big file transfers

can use samba or any sftp server.

samba or sftp would be fine for that, both support verification of file transfers using checksums.

rclone can emulate an sftp server and more.
rclone serve

samba, but just do some testing, let us know...

and as a windowz guy, i choose samba.
i have a howto about that, with simple scripts for clients on windows and linux.
How to access SMB/SAMBA with rclone

I decided to do it with samba as suggested but I'm having trouble with connecting to the share when rclone is mounted.

trying to connect to the samba share on windows results in this error

image

thats strange as I gave read and write access to the share with the command

sudo chmod a+rwx /home/scarletdevil19/cloud

I decided to mount rclone into my home directory to ensure that I would not need root for access

now if I end the rclone mount command

with the mount gone I'm able to access the share on windows amd even create a new folder

scarletdevil19@Rclone:~$ cd cloud
scarletdevil19@Rclone:~/cloud$ ls
'New folder'

so clearly the samba share works, I'm not sure what steps to take now

Because you used root user before now your rclone config file is not writeable by your standard user I think.

Change its ownership/permissions and try again.

my user is the owner of the file and has full permissions to it

scarletdevil19@Rclone:~$ rclone config file
Configuration file is stored at:
/home/scarletdevil19/.config/rclone/rclone.conf

The previous post gave me an idea and found another post which suggested to add the flag --allow-other to he commdand so I tried

I edited the filed mentioned and ran the command and lo and behold

one last thing though, if I add about 20 more accounts to the union is this possible?

nice, we got it working...

There is no hard limit here.
