What is the problem you are having with rclone?
Dear rClone community,
I am facing a problem where I am using two Raspberry Pis and rClone with a single OneDrive personal account. I am uploading a picture of max. 2 MB every 10 minutes.
I configured the first Raspberry Pi about three weeks ago and it just was working fine. I then configured the second Raspberry Pi a week ago with the same OneDrive account and at the beginning everything was just working fine as well.
But at some point in time (at the 4th of February about 20.00 o'clock) everything stopped uploading. So both Raspberries stopped uploading at the same time.
My Raspberries are both Model 4 B with 2 GB RAM. To work on/with the Raspi, I am using vs code and the remote explorer extension. At the time where I tried to fix the problem, I was only working with one Raspberry (the first one which I configured) and the other one was not executing/running anything.
About my Project in Short
I am building a time lapse setup with 2 Raspberry PIs which should run over multiple month. The pictures are taken with an interval of 10 minutes and should always be uploaded the cloud. I use 2 cameras to have 2 different angles at the scene.
'rclone version'
rclone v1.60.1-DEV
- os/version: raspbian 12.9 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 6.6.51+rpt-rpi-v8 (aarch64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: arm
- go/version: go1.19.4
- go/linking: dynamic
- go/tags: none
I tried to update the rclone library and it said it is up to date.
Which cloud storage system are you using?
I am using OneDrive personal account.
For the client_id and client_secret i used the default values (so I just clicked "Enter" when I was asked for it).
cloud region for onedrive = global
advanced config = no
auto config = yes (it then opened a tab in the browser where I would log in to my personal account to create a key)
'rclone config redacted'
-> somehow did not work, but I might still have enough information for you. and further down, you also see the rclone config show output

The thing is, it seems that I am still connected to OneDrive, since this here works:
Test01@raspi:~/Documents $ rclone lsd onedrive:Pictures
-1 2025-02-06 20:53:02 50 Raspi_01
-1 2025-02-06 20:56:52 203 Raspi_02
-1 2025-02-06 23:02:45 0 test
When I first checked the config of rclone, the expiry date was just the current date and time.
Test01@raspi:~/Documents $ rclone config show
[onedrive]
type = onedrive
token = {"access_token":"***","expiry":"2025-02-06T21:50:58.474975844+01:00"}
drive_id = ***
drive_type = personal
I then did
rclone config reconnect onedrive
but that did not help. However, it did change the expiry date to one hour in the future.
Final Notes and Question
To check if the problem is the Raspi or the version of a package, I created a new OneDrive account, deleted the current rclone connection on the Raspi and configured a new one with the new OneDrive account. And this worked just fine.
Since I need a robust and running system, I would like to understand why I have this problem here to finally avoid it for the future.
- Can someone help me by telling me where the problem lies?
- How can I avoid it for the future?
- Optional: How does the expiry date "system" work? I would like to understand that.
I really appreciate any help and hints. I hope I could provide you with enough information here.
