Rclone move not working for shared folders

Help and Support
1

I am using rclone v1.61.0, when i place the file in Goolgle drive shared folder as a 'Editor', and when executing move in rclone, file is moving and while deleting the file in google drive getting permission denied error. But when i login as 'Owner' account this is working fine.

Error:

rclone move imgsync:PIM-files /home/pimapi/rclone/PIM-files -v

I think you answered your own question.

You need to use Owner :slight_smile:

But i need workaround to use it as Editor, please let me know if any workaround in place. We have multiple users placing the images through the google drive shared folder and those files should move to our linux server and the image should be deleted. It is not possible to share Owner credentials and we can share only the folder with editor access

You'd have to disable server side moves.

--disable move,copy

Thank you for your quick responce, i am new to RCLONE. can you help me with the entire command i tried like rclone --disable move,copy but it is throwing error.
Also tried this but no luck:

rclone move imgsync:PIM-files /home/pimapi/rclone/PIM-files --disable move,copy

I can't really help with an entire command as you didn't fill in the help and support template so I don't know your setup.

You'd have to share all the information in the template to get real help.

Please let me know how to fill the template

Do you have permisson to delete the source files? If not use rclone copy instead of rclone move.

11

Thank you for your quick reply, actually we need to remove the file from the Google Drive as soon as the file moved to our Linux server so i am using move command. As mentioned earlier this is shared google drive and access with 'Editors' are moving the files.

12

So you are moving from Google Drive to a local drive? Is that right?

Just do a simple test on your file.

rclone delete imgsync:sometestfile

If you can't delete, you don't have permissions as editor.

13

rclone lsf imgsync:PIM-files/in/Ready_Images/Direct_approval/
133491577.jpg
[pimapi@pim-t-tst-nodeapi-server conf]$ rclone delete imgsync:PIM-files/in/Ready_Images/Direct_approval/133491577.jpg
2022/12/29 20:52:12 ERROR : 133491577.jpg: Couldn't delete: googleapi: Error 403: The user does not have sufficient permissions for this file., insufficientFilePermissions

But i should be able to move the files with these permissions. It was working in Insync and now we are planning to switch to rclone but stuck here

14

I'm not sure what that is as if it's working, stick with it?

That's a permissions issue as it's reporting back.

15

Are you sure you are using the right user? You can reconnect the backend with rclone config reconnect nameofbackendgoeshere: and double check you are logged in as the correct user when you do the oauth.

16

please help me with the name of the backend. What should i pass here.

17

According to what you wrote above imgsync: should be the right name.

Run rclone listremotes to see all the names that you can use.

18

[pimapi@xxxxl]$ rclone listremotes
imgsync:
imgtransf:
syncimage:

I have created two more new folders here.
