hello and welcome to the forum,

what seedbox?

have you created a remote to gdrive?
https://rclone.org/drive/

if so,
rclone /path/to/local/folder gdrive: --progress -vv

Hi, and thank you.
I'm currently with Seedhost.eu
My Google Drive is mounted to Home/gdrive

I tried your code line and got

oh, you mounted. you did not mention that?

when you posted, you should have been asked for some information.
can you post that?

and you need to post your command as well as your output.

we cannot read your mind?

Propr · June 6, 2020, 10:38pm

Yeah sorry about that. I've been at this for a few hours.
I have a Gsuite account and my drive is mounted to /home/gdrive/ I don't believe I have permission to access /mnt

I am not able to access .conf file to have a look into it some im kinda stuck atm.

Is there any other command you want me to run to diagnose this?
this is the command i have tried in putty
rclone copy "/home/user/file1.mkv/" gdrive:backup --progress -vv

this is the response

Is there any other command you want me to run to diagnose this?

asdffdsa · June 6, 2020, 10:42pm

did you create a remote?
https://rclone.org/drive/

do a rclone listremotes
post the command and the output

nle · June 6, 2020, 10:58pm

Remove the trailing slash.

asdffdsa · June 6, 2020, 11:00pm

you did not post the command.
you did not post the full debug output

we cannot read your mind?
so just copy and paste the command and output from the terminal, ok?

do a rclone listremotes
post the command and the output

/home/user/file1.mkv/
what is that? a folder or a file?

"My Google Drive is mounted to Home/gdrive"
so you mounted your gdrive to local folder?
if so, what is the rclone mount command?

:gdrive:backup
not sure that there should be a colon in front of gdrive?

Propr · June 7, 2020, 10:12pm

Ok, Sorry for the late reply I got kinda busy.

rclone mount  --allow-non-empty --buffer-size=32M --use-mmap --dir-cache-time=84h --cache-info-age=168h --vfs-cache-mode=minimal --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit off --vfs-cache-max-age=6h --vfs-read-chunk-size=32M gdrive1: ~/gdrive1```

This was the command used to get my google drive mounted to local folder.
I have 2. gdrive & gdrive1. both show when inputting rclone listremotes.

asdffdsa · June 7, 2020, 10:14pm

99% of the time , this flag is not a good idea

--allow-non-empty

so what is the problem you are trying to solve?

Propr · June 7, 2020, 10:17pm

I see. will make adjustments.Thanks for that.

Basically I what need is a command to send files/folders from my completed downloads up to one of my Google Drives.

asdffdsa · June 7, 2020, 10:18pm

like a bittorrent or what?

Propr · June 7, 2020, 10:20pm

Yeah. Few ISOs from my deluge downloaded folder to Google Drive

asdffdsa · June 7, 2020, 10:22pm

most bittorent clients have an option to move completed downloads to a folder.
so you have deluge move to your rclone mount.

asdffdsa · June 7, 2020, 10:25pm

Propr · June 7, 2020, 10:27pm

Wait, so you're saying if I were to move a linux iso from my completed downloads to my gdrive mounted folder, it'll auto-upload?

asdffdsa · June 7, 2020, 10:28pm

when a torrent has finished downloading, you can run a script.
that script can move the torrent files to gdrive.

Propr · June 7, 2020, 10:30pm

Thanks man. that seems to have worked. uploading as I type.

asdffdsa · June 7, 2020, 10:30pm

your welcome dude
