Hi,
The mounted Google Drive files and folders have as ownership root:root. But I need pi:pi. I am testing if Syncthing can distribute the mounted drive to the Computers of my Home network from my Pi. But Syncthing cant get access because of the ownership, I guess.
rclone version)v1.54.1
First of all welcome to the forums.
Secondly please try to follow protocol when joining a new community and asking for supports.
You know, there's a reason why they created a template for submitting supports threads.
Like for instance in this case: The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
I bet you dont have UID & GID flag in your mount commands. But hey, we can only guess as you choose to exclude some vital information 
hello and welcome to the forum,
try adding --allow-other.
i run rclone a pizero and pi4.
no need to run rclone as root, in fact, unless there is a specific reason, better not to.
Thank you very much. I thought I gave all the needed information. Nonetheless its not easy for me to wirte in english or read the protocol because english is not my mother language. I am really sorry if I did something wrong.
I was mounting like this:
cd ~
mkdir -p mnt/gdrive
rclone mount gdrive: $HOME/mnt/gdrive
I dont know what this is: UID & GID flag
Kind regards
try this
rclone mount gdrive: $HOME/mnt/gdrive --allow-other
Hi there, seems to be working. I had to add
--allow-non-empty
too.
Where can I find how to create a systemd for rclone in the kind of fashion to mount more than one gdrive at the autostart? Maybe a Dropbox too.
so you cannot run rclone mount without --allow-non-empty, what error did you get?
this is the goto guide for systemd, by a fellow rcloner.

Hi,
I got this error message, when I just did this command **rclone mount gdrive: /mnt/gdrive --allow-other**
2021/03/29 19:54:42 Fatal error: Directory is not empty: /mnt/gdrive If you want to mount it anyway use: --allow-non-empty option
What do I have to change so that it is running on my raspberry? Nothing or what? Looks complicated to me: https://github.com/animosity22/homescripts/blob/master/systemd/rclone.service
well, you asked for about systemd and i shared the service file that the majority of rcloners use.
i am no linux expert, but i use that service file, never had a problem.
Yeah, I am a noob, who happens to know what systemd does and how to manage it. But such a long file looks complicated. Na, I will see next weekend about that.
Thank you very much you helped a lot.
