gdrive:
Config file "/home/iragoiko/.config/rclone.conf" not found
It is strange but if I start service with my user "iragoiko" does not say config file not found.

i do not know for sure. really, i am not an expert.
perhaps an expert will stop by but for now.
this is what i do, should work, chmod 777 /home/iragoiko/.config/rclone
and you can add the location of the rclone.conf file to the command
--config=/home/iragoiko/.config/rclone/rclone.conf
both actions applied. Same log:

Weird it can't even find the config file after giving the correct path. Can you check if your home directory is encrypted by any chance. If that's the case you will need to move your config to some other place.
I have nothing encripted. Just a normal config file... I do not know what to do
My service file is correct?

In execstart add a backslash (\) whenever you start a new line. So add backslash after the --config ends and after the mount folder /home/iragoiko/gdrive
Edit: and remove the backslash after --rc since thats where the execstart ends.
Not sure if that is the reason but worth a shot.

I have reached my post limit 
Which log do you want to see
root@debian:/var/log# ls
alternatives.log auth.log.1 daemon.log.1 dpkg.log kern.log messages syslog syslog.3.gz user.log
apt btmp debug faillog kern.log.1 messages.1 syslog.1 syslog.4.gz user.log.1
auth.log daemon.log debug.1 installer lastlog private syslog.2.gz unattended-upgrades wtmp
Since it does not give any reason for failure can you also share the log dump for the above?

I do not know what to do to start this service file
Rclone config file is where it is suposed to be. Now with chmod 777 permision.
search the computer for all files named rclone.conf
root@debian:/home/iragoiko/gdrive# find / -name rclone.conf
/home/iragoiko/.config/rclone/rclone.conf
--config=/home/iragoiko/.config/rclone.conf
should be
--config=/home/iragoiko/.config/rclone/rclone.conf
