[Lacky (Lakshay)]

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Rclone version for android termux is 1.54 which is quite old. How do i update it to latest?

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

Which OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit)

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

hi,
this should do it
pkg update && pkg update rclone

i also have a wiki about termux
https://forum.rclone.org/t/turn-your-android-phone-into-a-media-server/16064

if you have any questions about using rclone on termux or a basic termux question, let me know.

I did that... It still shows 1.54.0

that worked for me.

not sure if this is the problem, but if you installed termux via google play, termux is no longer getting updates.
need re-install it from f-droid website.
Termux Google Play - Termux Wiki

after that try to install rclone the normal way, that should get you the latest version

in my case, i got the rclone .apk from here
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.termux/
note: no need to install the f-droid app, just side-load the rclone .apk

in the end, let me know what works for you.

and i realize now that i need to update that wiki.
