What is the problem you are having with rclone?

When Using rclone webgui, the newly created drive letter doesn't shows up in the Windows Explorer, while using Windows command prompt I am able to access it.

Here is the debug log from rclone :

How to Reproduce

Start rclone 1.59 with "rclone rcd --rc-web-gui" in Windows command prompt (Administrator)
Use B2 (backblaze.com)
Create a new drive mount point
Notice the newly created drive letter doesn't shows up in Windows Explorer

hello and welcome to the forum,

this is not a rclone bug, just a consequence of windows.
the odds are the rclone mount command was run with a command prompt having elevated privileges.
windows explorer runs as a process without elevated privileges.
so windows explorer cannot see the rclone mount.

this is the exact same behavior seen using net use.

asdffdsa · April 4, 2022, 9:30pm

one easy workaround is to mount to a folder, not a drive letter.
which is what i always do.
that way, both privileged and non-privileged processes for your username can see the mount.
rclone mount remote: b:\rclone\mount\remote

@asdffdsa

Yes, I was forgot to close and re-open my Windows Explorer.

Web-GUI is easier.
