Specific path for access on Drive

isaric · June 3, 2025, 9:37am

I only want to open a specific file and not
/
source;
IsaricGdrive:/Test
destination:

/home/isaric/IsaricGdrive/Test

What should be changed on
rclone.conf

Thank you in advance

Rclone does not open any files. So not sure what you are talking about.

I suggest you follow the template and answer all questions you ignored.

Describe what your are doing and what does not work.

isaric · June 3, 2025, 10:10am

I don't speak English, sorry.
I use "RClone Shuttle" to open a Google Drive cloud.
It opens all the folders, and I want to open just one and know what to modify by editing the rclone.conf file.

kapitainsky · June 3, 2025, 10:15am

It is your problem. Use Google translate or similar tools.

isaric · June 3, 2025, 10:39am

Thanks, that's what I did here and it probably isn't very clear apparently.

isaric · June 3, 2025, 10:53am

a bit like the command does:
rclone mount IsaricGdrive:/Test /home/isaric/IsaricGdrive/Test
Can we have this direct opening to this folder by including it in the configuration of
rclone.conf

dinosm · June 3, 2025, 11:32am

Isn't this:

the same as this:

rclone mount IsaricGdrive:/ /home/isaric/IsaricGdrive/

I mean it will have the same end result.

[Test]
type = alias
remote = IsaricGdrive:/Test

rclone ls Test:
rclone mount Test: /home/isaric/IsaricGdrive/Test

isaric · June 3, 2025, 3:50pm

Thanks @kapitainsky, @dinosm, @asdffdsa

I added

[IsaricGdrive] type = alias remote = IsaricGdrive:/Test scope = drive token = {"access_token"….


:~$ rclone ls IsaricGdrive

a) Can we hide files? .Trash Should we change by
scope = drive
by?

b)Can put multiple folders, in addition to /Test, /Test2?

asdffdsa · June 3, 2025, 4:04pm

so, that should be rclone ls IsaricGdrive:

isaric · June 3, 2025, 4:08pm

Sorry

:~$ rclone about IsaricGdrive: 2025/06/03 18:06:23 CRITICAL: Failed to create file system for "IsaricGdrive:": can't point alias remote at itself - check the value of the remote setting :~$

asdffdsa · June 3, 2025, 4:41pm

the alias remote must have a different name than the remote it points to.
follow my example, i named the alias remote Test

isaric · June 3, 2025, 5:11pm

I put

[Test]
type = alias
remote = IsaricGdrive:/Test
scope = drive
token = {"access_token":"...","token_type":"Bearer","refresh_token":"...","expiry":"0001-01-01T00:00:00.00+02:00"}

This done

need TWO remotes

IsaricGdrive
Test

isaric · June 3, 2025, 5:21pm

You absolutely have to put both

IsaricGdrive         drive
Test                 alias

If I understood something

:~$ rclone ls Test:
     14202 Test_00.odt

n) New remote
d) Delete remote
r) Rename remote
c) Copy remote
s) Set configuration password
q) Quit config

rclone config redacted

isaric · June 3, 2025, 5:31pm

Thanks asdffdsa

:~$ rclone config redacted

I tried the other command given previously:

:~$ rclone mount Test: /home/isaric/IsaricGdrive/Test
2025/06/03 19:27:55 CRITICAL: Fatal error: mounting is not supported when running from snap

asdffdsa · June 3, 2025, 5:34pm

Due to the strict confinement of Snap, rclone mount feature is not supported.

uninstall rclone via snap
install rclone via https://rclone.org/install/#script-installation

isaric · June 3, 2025, 6:54pm

I installed

wget
https://downloads.rclone.org/rclone-current-linux-amd64.deb

I am now told

:~$ rclone mount Test: /home/isaric/IsaricGdrive/Test
