What is the problem you are having with rclone?
Trying to set up a new Google Drive account, but using auto config, http://127.0.0.1:53682/ cannot be reached. The browser window does not open automatically, and when pasting the link provided into my browser it cannot be reached. I’ve tried old client IDs that work for other remotes, and new client IDs/secrets, but neither works.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
