What is the problem you are having with rclone?
rclone sync is not decrypting my files
I've been running rclone sync fine the past few years on my Win10 computer. I recently got a new computer with Win11. To migrate rsync to the new Win11 computer I performed the following steps, in the following order:
- Installed rclone v1.62.2 on new PC
- Encrypted my rconf.conf file on the old PC (
rclone config
) - Moved rconf from the old to the new PC
- Decrypted my rconf.conf file on the new PC (
rclone config
)
I then proceed to run my sync commands as usual. As an example:
rclone sync --verbose gdrive_crypt:folder1 "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\rcloneFiles"
Everything appears to work as it always did, the only issue (and it's a big one) is that rclone is no longer decrypting my files. The first time I issued the command I expected rclone to grab the files from my encrypted remote, decrypt the files, and place them in my PC folder.
rclone did all of the above, but forgot to decrypt the files. All the files have been downloaded to my windows folder, but they're all encrypted with their weird file names. As an example my regular file.txt
file is now named ief893FhEuihf93ffQsSSc39939Ehfhhehe43839h4
.
What do I do to fix this issue?
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone v1.62.2
Are you on the latest version of rclone?
Yes, I am on the latest version
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 sync --verbose gdrive_crypt:folder1 "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\rcloneFiles"
The rclone config contents with secrets removed.
[gdrive_crypt]
type = crypt
remote = gdrive_crypt:folder1
filename_encryption = standard
directory_name_encryption = true
password = leftBlankToRemoveTheSecret
password2 = leftBlankToRemoveTheSecret
can you post full output of rclone lsd gdrive_crypt: -vv
?
