now rclone ls mega: -vv

24

got all my files listed in there when i do that.

25

run the mount command with -vv and post it

26

rclone mount mega: /home/hhh/mega --vfs-cache-mode full --vfs-cache-max-size 10G --vv

this one?

27

that command is for linux not windows.
post the windows mount command

28

trying to work it out now the windows command

rclone mount mega C: /hhh/mega/mount --vfs-cache-mode full --vfs-cache-max-size 10G --vv i think it would be wouldnt it?

delete this folder C:\hhh\mega\mount and re-run the command.
make sure that folder does not exist before running the rclone mount command.

33

done that and still got an error

the folder C:\hhh\mega has to exist, never delete it.

35

ah right so create hhh/mega not hhh/mega/mount

36

that is correct

yes just downloaded and installed it now. just re running the command again now

Thank you @asdffdsa thats showing up now

do i need to leave the cmd window open all time? is there anything else i need to do ?

40

same as linux, the mount has be running all the time.

and if you want to hide the windows, there are a number of things we can do, but it will have to wait until tomorrow....

so for now, be a happy rcloner
