If I am in the folder I can create files:
e.g. pi@allskyLA:~/mnt/gdrive $ touch xz.txt
-->works
If I'm not in the folder, I don't have permission:
e.g. pi@allskyLA:~ $ sudo touch /home/pi/mnt/gdrive/dummy.txt
--> touch: cannot touch '/home/pi/mnt/gdrive/dummy.txt': Permission denied
please help
hello and welcome to the forum,
try adding --allow-other to the mount command.
when you first posted, there was a template of questions, now is the time to provide all the answers
and need to post the output of commands with -vv
rclone v1.53.3-DEV
Google Drive
-vv

that is a very old version of rclone,
need to install latest stable at Install
need to check dir permissions for the mountpoint.
thanks for your help jojo - installed v1.58.1
how can I activate the permission for the mountpoint?
i am not an expert at linux but what i do is create a folder such as
/rclone and then create two subdirs
/rclone/mountpoint and /rclone/cache
and run a command such as rclone mount gdrive: /rclone/mountpoint/gdrive
but to answer your direct question, i think you need to change the permission /home/pi/mnt/gdrive
same as with any linux dir
with the new version i stuck here. with my older version i logged in with a provided link for google account 
oh yeah, google changed some polices and that old way no longer works.
and rclone had to change its behavior as a result.
just follow the instructions and read the docs.
as per https://rclone.org/changelog/
"Disable OAuth OOB flow (copy a token) due to Google deprecation (Nick Craig-Wood)
See the deprecation note."
i dont understand these insstructions.
Execute the following on the machine with the web browser (same rclone
version recommended):
rclone authorize "drive" "eyJzY29wZSI6ImRyaXZlIn0"
??
why did you choose n for auto config instead of the default yes?
for auto config choose the default y
ahh i uncommented in /etc/fuse.conf 'user_allow_other'
good, that often needs to be done
