What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I have errors whrn trying to sync files with pcloud but only with large files. Small jpg are fine but when I try to sync or copy large mkv/avi/etc, I get errors.
No change in my pcloud config.
I checked permissions but don't see anything weird.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
