Saving security camera video to gdrive

Help and Support
1

I have a home security camera which saves mkv videos when triggered. I want to specify the "gdrive" folder as the save location. the folder seems inaccessible to my Camera application. However, I can copy/paste into gdrive normally.. and I can access all files in gdrive...

directory ownership is root:root. permissions 0000
cant set access permission for any other user. I would like to set 0777.

version:
rclone v1.58.0

  • os/version: linuxmint 20.3 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 5.4.0-107-generic (x86_64)
  • os/type: linux
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.17.8
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: none

Google drive

[Google drive]
type = drive
client_id =
client_secret =
scope = drive
auth_owner_only = true
token = *****
root_folder_id = gdrive
team_drive =

What am I doing wrong?

You probably need --allow-other on the mount.

ooops... changed ownership to me and set permissions to 0775. However, should have set to 0777. All good now.

Thanks for your guidance.
(great product btw!)

cheers
