I am trying to rclone config so I can do a backup of my thunderbird portable profile to google drive. I download 1.51 yesterday for Windows 10. Ultimately I want to schedule a rclone sync daily via the windows scheduler. Please mention if there's a better way.
I followed the instructions and created a google api key and then did the rclone config but it ended it the browser showing: Error 401: invalid_client The OAuth client was not found.
Here is what I did on the command line. I must have done something wrong but from going through the help I can't figure what that might be. Any advise much appreciated!

not updating the checksum.
Enter a boolean value (true or false). Press Enter for the default ("false").

Only show files that are shared with me.
Instructs rclone to operate on your "Shared with me" folder (where

This works both with the "list" (lsd, lsl, etc) and the "copy"
commands (copy, sync, etc), and with all other commands too.

Set to allow files which return cannotDownloadAbusiveFile to be downloaded.
If downloading a file returns the error "This file has been identified

Allow server side operations (eg copy) to work across different drive configs.

different Google drives. Note that this isn't enabled by default
because it isn't easy to tell if it will work between any two
configurations.
Enter a boolean value (true or false). Press Enter for the default ("false").

Disable drive using http2
There is currently an unsolved issue with the google drive backend and

Make upload limit errors be fatal
At the time of writing it is only possible to upload 750GB of data to
Google Drive a day (this is an undocumented limit). When this limit is
reached Google Drive produces a slightly different error message. When
this flag is set it causes these errors to be fatal. These will stop
the in-progress sync.
Note that this detection is relying on error message strings which
Google don't document so it may break in the future.
Enter a boolean value (true or false). Press Enter for the default ("false").
