What is the problem you are having with rclone?
How can I configure rclone / Google Drive to grant fine-grained read-write privileges to rclone?
The situation is: I have been granted access to a Google Drive shared folder.
Inside this folder there are folders for related to different projects, e.g.:
shared/project0/
shared/project1/
shared/project2/
shared/muh_project/
...
I followed the Google Drive tutorial (https://rclone.org/drive/) and was able to download the shared folder to my server and to upload my server files to shared/muh_project/
The problem is: right now, rclone has read and write privileges to the entire shared folder and I am scared about the possibility of messing up the other projects.
How can I configure rclone / Google drive so that:
- rclone only has access /shared (I don't want it to be able to access other Google Driver folders)
- rclone has read-only access to everything inside /shared
- rclone has read-write access to /shared/muh_project
