Rclone Windows 10 Terminal global environmental variable

Help and Support
21

So what's the solution?
Normally I would pick a letter that's not used by anything else and mount on it (if I am mounting from Windows).
But obviously /mnt/<some-letter> will always be unavailable because only available and used letters show up under /mnt.

➜  ls /mnt/x
ls: cannot access '/mnt/x': No such file or directory
➜  ls /mnt/b
ls: cannot access '/mnt/b': No such file or directory

sorry, still somewhat confused as to exactly you are trying to accomplish?

at this point, need to post a detailed answer, using exacts path, no fuzzy explanations, ok?
take some time to think about your answer.

I am trying to mount a local remote that I have on my D drive on Windows 10.
I want to mount it to say, the X drive or Z drive. Just any letter that's unused by Windows.

The reason I want to mount a local remote is because it's encrypted. Mounting it lets me decrypt it and see the content.

The actual path is D:\Backups\docs-local.

if you want to mount a local drive on windows, using unsed drive letter, that is documeneted here
"Using the special value * will tell rclone to automatically assign the next available drive letter, starting with Z: and moving backward."

This doesn't work if I am mounting through WSL.

ok,

  1. you have a local folder on windows, that contains files that are crypted by rclone
  2. on wsl, you want to rclone mount that windows local folder

on wsl, create a remote that looks this.
note: for the remote, use the path of the crypted files.
in my case,
on windows the local crypt is at d:\dest\crypt
on wsl, that is translated into /mnt/d/dest/crypt

[wincrypt]
type = crypt
remote = /mnt/d/dest/crypt
password = cutxGrFvkwZGaAxhwt_lVsLCdFUkpTgz
password2 = vxJ3MRqZgw_4DPqyMFHo12ggoBnpo_Mz

then on wsl,
rclone mount wincrypt: /home/user01/wincrypt --allow-other

27

I am assuming user01 will be replaced with my actual user and wincrypt will exactly the remote's name?
Well that's not working.
I keep getting a fatal error that says that the mount point does not exist.

28

well, i cannot see into your computer and you have not provided any actionable info?
--- post the config file
--- add -vv the the command and post the full debug
