What is the problem you are having with rclone?

rclone takes 30 seconds to startup on Windows

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

1.56.0

Which OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit)

Windows Server 2012 R2

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)

Paste command here
```rclone


#### The rclone config contents with secrets removed.  
<!--  You should use 3 backticks to begin and end your paste to make it readable.   -->

Paste config here




#### A log from the command with the `-vv` flag  
<!-- You should use 3 backticks to begin and end your paste to make it readable.  Or use a service such as https://pastebin.com or https://gist.github.com/   -->

Paste log here

Using Process Monitor to debug the process I notice that the delay seems to be related to some network lookup.

hello and welcome to the forum,

this is your first post.
before you claim a rclone bug; there was a template of questions, that you need to answer.
most important is a complete debug log

5

I've answered the template questions.

6

to save time and prevent having to pull the needed info from you, please, answer all the questions in the template.
post the following info

  • the rclone command
  • the config file, redact id/secret/token/password
  • full debug log.

you state that you are using gdrive but that log has references to AWS?
is that the name of your local server?
is that a server hosted by AWS?

where in that log do you see that?
rclone relies on the OS for dns lookups.
