Thank you very for all your help.

You need to enable it.

systemctl enable rclone

43

i did but get this error:
Failed to enable unit: File rclone.service: Invalid argument

44

Guessing you still have some issues with the 1st line of the file. Extra character or something.

45

i will try to fix it you have been a big help

46

Can I suggest these scripts?

https://github.com/comio/rclone-tools

copying mount.rclone into /usr/sbin, you can use the standard fstab approach to mount remote filesystems.

You have a reuiresmountfor which is the same thing you are mounting? I’m guessing that might be an issue as well as you’d normally wait for something else to mount if you wanted to and than mount it.

I think he’s supposed to have one gsuite: is the remote and he’s mounting to /home/mfmaa03/media/gsuite

54

Yeah :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: I looked too fast

Does this return something?

What operating system are you running?

Ubuntu server 18.04

That’s odd as I’d expect that to be there as I’m Debian.

What does

ls -al /etc/systemd/system

show?
