Need some help with a network connection

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I am trying to set up my first copy/sync job and I just don’t seem to understand setting up the network/local connection part. It is able to connect to OneDrive and find the files, but can’t seem to connect to the network drive file share and I am lost as to what to do next. Thanks in advance for any help.

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

rclone v1.71.2

  • os/version: Microsoft Windows Server 2022 Standard 21H2 21H2 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 10.0.20348.4294 (x86_64)
  • os/type: windows
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.25.3
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: cmount

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

I am trying to copy files from Microsoft OneDrive to a local network drive.

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

rclone sync --interactive OneDrive:Security/Surveilance/ NetworkFileShare:p:\Parks_Rec\SafetySecure\  

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