Probably won't make a difference, but that is a pretty old version. Can you validate with the latest and see if the issue still persists?

I updated to the newest and will try again. Will take a couple Hours, will report back then

Now i get this Error:

But i dont really know if this is a Error from Opendrive this Time because this Time the Upload Failed before all got transfered and not after the Transfer technically finished

I retried it with the newer Version again and sadly still get the error that i showed in my First Post

Strange is that i can upload other Files that are smaller. Thats the only File that doesnt upload

what is the max file size at opendrive for your specfic plan?

There is no Filesize Limit for my Plan

well, there is always a file size limit.

There sure is, but they dont show it anywhere and in the Control Panel they just say Unlimited Filesize.

30GB is not that large of a file size but i never heard of unlimited file size before.

i would try to upload that 30+GB file using opendrive software/website and see what happens.

not sure what the exact problem is but in the meantime, i would contact opendrive tech support.

are you using a vpn or proxy server?

https://forum.rclone.org/t/dropbox-upload-failed-invalid-character/23030

Im not using a VPN or Proxy Server

Will try this

Ok News for this. I could Upload it this time. It needed a couple more tries but it uploaded eventually. I did log the Responses and it seems like there is happening a Gateway Timeout for Big Files often. And Rclone throws this Error because it does not understand the Timeout Error i guess.

I opened a Support Ticket with them and will see what they answer

They replied that i should increase the Timeout value to 1900 seconds but i guess that this is exactly what the Rclone --timeout flag does?

there are several timeout flags, not sure what to recommend.
@Animosity022 might have an idea.

as for this message, not sure why rclone cannot parse the response?
is there some issue with the server or with rclone?

Couldn't decode error response: invalid character '<' looking for beginning of value

By default the timeout is 5 minutes:

   --timeout duration                     IO idle timeout (default 5m0s)

You can bump that up to an hour or something and see if that fixes it.

I already did that thats the Reason i get a Gateway Timeout instead of a RClone Timeout.
I contacted the Support of Opendrive and they told me that i should use the Webdav Endpoint instead of the Opendrive API that Rclone uses when i upload big files because the Webdav endpoint has more Servers behind it and can faster response to big files because of this.
