Do not use snap installation if you need mount - as per docs:

Note: Due to the strict confinement of Snap, rclone mount feature is not supported.

If mounting is wanted, either install a precompiled binary or enable the relevant option when installing from source.

make sure that there is no other mount already running - you start things with & so you might have things running in the background. Better to use systemd. But for now:

ps -ef | grep rclone

and kill running process.

ok now it works, how can I run rclone at boot? I want that it executes this type of command at startup:

rclone --vfs-cache-mode writes mount OneDrive: ~/OneDrive & notify-send "OneDrive Connected" "Microsoft OneDrive successfully mounted."

On Linux the best way is to use systemd.

10

is there a guide on how it can be done?

11

plenty on internet. Google is your friend.
