Rclone mount Gdrive - How do I set owner and group

Hello,

I am using rclone 1.52 on a raspberry with raspian buster.
I want to mount Gdrives in the file-system of raspian. So I discovered rclone.

I want to use autofs to mount Gdrives on Demand.
I discovered this script:

How do I change the owner and group of the mounted files and directories on Gdrive.

Thanks for your help

hello and welcome to the forum,

have you read documentation?
https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_mount/#options

yes,
you can set permissions with "dir-perms FileMode" and "file-perms FileMode", but I found nothing about how to set ownership to user X and group to group Y

You'd want:

 --uid uint32                             Override the uid field set by the filesystem. (default 1000)
   --gid uint32                             Override the gid field set by the filesystem. (default 1000)

Thanks,
but how do I have to use these Options together with helper script?

remote -fstype=fuse.rclonefs,config=/home/piUser/.config/rclone/rclone.conf,allow-other,allow-non-empty,uid=1000,gid=1005,dir-perms=660,file-perms=660 :remote:

this doesnt work by this way

I am not sure what a helper script is as you put them in the rclone command line with your mount.

So you'd add:

rclone mount remote: /home/test --uid 1001 --gid 1001
