Struggling with Shared Drives (Team Drives) on Google Drive

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Been trying to copy from the local folder to a Shared Drive in Google Drive and I can not even ls the remote with

nazareno@fedora:~$ rclone ls AllDrives:
2024/02/13 20:50:38 Failed to create file system for "AllDrives:": failed to create upstream "A.V. - Cine I:": didn't find section in config file
nazareno@fedora:~$ rclone ls AllDrives:
2024/02/13 20:55:28 Failed to create file system for "AllDrives:": failed to create upstream "A.V. - Cine V:": didn't find section in config file
nazareno@fedora:~$ rclone ls AllDrives:
2024/02/13 20:56:31 Failed to create file system for "AllDrives:": failed to create upstream "A.V. - Cine III:": didn't find section in config file

Obviously, when I copy it's the same:

rclone copy 'dev/sdb1/:/run/media/nazareno/D290345090343D73/torrents/Pink Floyd - P.U.L.S.E' 'AllDrives:/z6:'
2024/02/13 21:08:01 Failed to create file system for "AllDrives:/z6:": failed to create upstream "A.V. - Cine XII _Kiewslowski_:": didn't find section in config file

I think that maybe it's a problem with the config file. Here it goes:
rclone config redacted

Thank you all!!!

Your combine remote is not configured correctly, e.g. first upstream:

upstreams = "0 - Coleccion=0 - Coleccion:"

What does it refer to? Not to anything defined in your config. You do not have remote named 0 - Coleccion

Upstreams should be defined as follows:

upstreams = name=remote:path

where name is your "virtual" directory name which will contain content defined by remote:path. And remote must refer to configured remote.

Have a read of combine docs:

I've done this because of the README

Rclone has a convenience feature for making a combine backend for all
the shared drives you have access to.

Assuming your main (non shared drive) Google drive remote is called
`drive:` you would run

    rclone backend -o config drives drive:

This would produce something like this:

    [My Drive]
    type = alias
    remote = drive,team_drive=0ABCDEF-01234567890,root_folder_id=:

    [Test Drive]
    type = alias
    remote = drive,team_drive=0ABCDEFabcdefghijkl,root_folder_id=:

    [AllDrives]
    type = combine
    upstreams = "My Drive=My Drive:" "Test Drive=Test Drive:"

If you then add that config to your config file (find it with `rclone
config file`) then you can access all the shared drives in one place
with the `AllDrives:` remote.

But I get what you're saying. I need to configure everyone of my Shared Drives as remotes I think. Is there a way for creating all the remotes of the Drives at once? They're 55 drives so doing this one by one will be a pain... Thanks!

However you decide to do it test first with two drives. No point to setup all 55 when doing something wrong.
