What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I could not upload images from local to google photos.
I already run
rclone config
to refresh token, but that dont solve the issue.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone v1.62.2
- os/version: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro 22H2 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 10.0.22621.1555 Build 22621.1555.1555 (x86_64)
- os/type: windows
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.20.2
- go/linking: static
- go/tags: cmount
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
Google Photos
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
rclone copy "H:\Meine Ablage\photo\cloud_sync_photo\sven_iphone_photosync\2023-04-28\IMG_3304.JPG" google_photo:upload
The rclone config contents with secrets removed.
[google_photo]
type = google photos
token = {"access_token":"XXXXXXXXXXXX","token_type":"Bearer","refresh_token":"XXXX","expiry":"2023-04-30T09:42:37.584947+02:00"}
A log from the command with the -vv flag
