Rclone mount giving no response

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I'm trying to mount my Google Drive using rclone on my Raspberry Pi. When I run 'rclone lsd mygdrive: ' , I'm able to see all my folders. But when I try 'rclone mount mygdrive: destinationfolder' it just stays blank. I don't get any error or warning. I'm able to view the size of my drive and copy/move files just fine, only mounting does not work. I do have fuse installed.

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

1.4.5

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

RaspberryPi OS

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

Google Drive

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

rclone mount mygdrive: gdmount

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

[mygdrive]
type = drive
scope = drive
token = {"access_token":
team_drive = 
client_id = 
client_secret = 

A log from the command with the -vv flag

hello and welcome to the forum

please update rclone to latest stable v.1.53.0
https://rclone.org/downloads/#script-download-and-install

try adding

--allow-other                            Allow access to other users.

Are you mounting as root? If so then you'll need --allow-other and --allow-root.

It is recommended not to mount as root though.

I wasn't trying to mount it as root but using --allow-other worked! Thanks for the help!
