Permission Denied - Download Google Drive File

Help and Support
1

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I am trying to download a file using RClone from a Python Script. I am able to use RClone to list a directory, so connection credentials should be valid. I get perrmission denied though I've verified that all files are publicly shared, visible, and downloadable from Drive manually.

I am wondering if the existence of spaces in file names is an issue that I'm not addressing properly. I do notice in the log below that it seems to be referencing a photo - I'm trying to download a Google spreadsheet as a csv file.

Any help appreciated.
Thx,

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

rclone v1.36

1.36 is ancient. Can you upgrade to the stable and try again?

Thanks for the fast response.

I have upgraded to 1.49 and have the same problem. However, I have verified that I can download a file in another directory, so I clearly have a permission problem with Drive. I have checked that all directories in the path are accessible to anyone on the internet (not an acceptable permanent setting). Presumably this implies that I need more info in my config file??

Can you re-run it and share the -vv output?

It's in Pastebin: https://pastebin.com/3UDmLYZv

Thanks,

Can you start a new post and use the question template rather than hijack this thread? Thanks.

You can use three back tics ` before and after something to enclose it as a code block like

this

Can you follow the directories down and till you get the path that does not work?

So add "gdriveremote:/Sunnyside Times" and run rclone ls -vv against it and so forth.
