I am unable to generate the public shared link for Google Drive file. I use Google apps and have admin access. I have also created my own client id using OAuth 2.0 Client IDs but not a service account
Mac Catalina
Unraid
Rclone link gdrive:folder/1.docx
Failed to link : google Api error 403 The user does not have sufficient permission for the file is, insufficientfilepermission
I note this in the source code
// TODO: On TeamDrives this might fail if lacking permissions to change ACLs.
// Need to either check `canShare` attribute on the object or see if a sufficient permission is already present.
Is this a team drive? Do you have permissions to change ACLs?
Hi,
This is not a team drive. I'm the admin and have all the permissions.
It really seems you don't have the right permissions.
What version are you running?
Can you share a debug log of the command?
Thanks for the reply.
It is I who's uploaded the file via rclone. I've also enabled a service account now with domain wise delegation access.

Yeah, the service account is still missing permissions though as you might need to reauthenticate.
If it's not a team drive, you can also just use your user account as that would work fine.
What's the reason for a service account?
I created it just an hour back , I thought it might help. I was getting the same error even without it.
Even after just removing service account & reauthenticating I get same error

You'd still have something going on via permissions albeit I'm not sure what else to check as if you are using a user that owns the account, it does work without issue.

HI,
I've now tried setting up another rclone configuration on another domain where I"m owner.

Can you walk through how you are setting up your rclone.conf and what user are you using?
I'm testing in a GSuite Domain with a user account to that same user's GDrive.
I am not sure what. you mean by you are admin on the domain.
What I mean is I've tested on two different Google Apps domains where I'm the admin.
So in GSuite, you created a user and that user has a drive, we can call it UserA.
UserA is using Google drive.
In rclone.conf UserA is confiugred and authenticated to rclone.
Or are you saying, you have "admin" and "admin" is using connecting to UserA's Google Drive.
In Gsuite, I'm the admin with account UserAdmin
UserAdmin is using Google Drive
rclone.conf Useradmin account is configured & authenticated to rclone.
And that's the same user logged in as you are using with rclone?
If so, that should work. If not, you got something else going on and you may want to check with their support and see why you have a permissions issue.
Yes, it's the same user. I will contact support as well.
Does LINK work with Team Drive as well?
Sure, links work with either.
Permissions on team drives (in theory) are more annoying than a normal user, but you seem to having an issue with the regular user as well.
If you do hear something back, I'd love to know what it was.
I've lodged one but I've got the standard, this being an unsupported app we cannot do much but we will ask our local partners to look into this.
