What is the problem you are having with rclone?
When trying to download files from Linkbox using the rclone copy
command, I consistently receive this error: Failed to copy: failed to open source object: Open failed: RootURL not set
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
I’ve tested it on two builds.
rclone v1.70.2

- os/kernel: 10.0.19045.6036 (x86_64)

- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.24.4
