What is the problem you are having with rclone?

here is proof i can see the folder
C:\rclone>rclone lsd dropboxnew:
-1 2000-01-01 00:00:00 -1 Specs
if i try to look in the folder it does this
rclone lsd dropboxnew:Specs
2024/07/18 15:49:18 Failed to create file system for "dropboxnew:Specs": directory not found
So at this point it's probably obvious it's not going to copy but anyway :
>rclone copy --tpslimit 4 --transfers 4 --checkers 4 --verbose dropboxnew:Specs gdrive:dropbox
2024/07/18 15:52:53 INFO : Starting transaction limiter: max 4 transactions/s with burst 1
2024/07/18 15:52:58 Failed to create file system for "dropboxnew:Specs": not_mountable/...
I can definitely access that folder in dropbox web and im an admin
There is lots of other folders there and I have tried with them, i get the same
