What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I'm trying to create a service/systemd unit to automate the rclone's mounting process of my google drive storage in my machine. I created one and it's working, but when I check the permissions of the folder where I mounted (that is ~/Documents/google-drive) with "ls -l", all the permissions including owner and group info are displayed as "?"
And if I try to access it as root, it will display this: "bash: cd: google-drive: Transport endpoint is not connected".
From what I notice, it looks this happend only after i remove the --daemon flag, but even with the --daemon flag the permissions and ownership are "?". I wanna know how can I fix that so I can use the dolphin to access it, because since the folder (mount point)'s permissions are "?". It doesn't even appear in the folder, only via terminal.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone v1.62.2
- os/version: arch (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 6.2.13-arch1-1 (x86_64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.20.2
- go/linking: dynamic
- go/tags: none
Are you on the latest version of rclone?
Yes, version 1.62.2
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)
First, this is the "rclonemount.service" I created in /etc/systemd/system/:
[Unit]
Description= Mounts the "gdrive" remote from rclone
After=network-online.target
[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/bin/rclone mount gdrive:/ /home/henriquedelben/Documentos/google-drive --daemon --config=/home/henri>
ExecStop=/usr/bin/fusermount -u /home/henriquedelben/Documentos/google-drive/
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
The rclone config contents with secrets removed.
[gdrive]
type = drive
client_id =
client_secret =
scope = drive
token = {
team_drive =
A log from the command with the -vv flag

When executing the above command it works, but it looks like when trying to create a .service that automates that process, it doesn't
After this command has been executed, the "df -h" outputs confirms it was successful:
