Trying to mount Google Drive with rclone hangs

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I want to share the contents of my Google Drive with Next Cloud but when
I try to mount my GoogleDrive acount o a local mount point but it just hangs...

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

rclone v1.50.2

  • os/arch: linux/arm
  • go version: go1.13.4

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

DietPi

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)

rclone mount . /mnt/gdrive/

A log from the command with the -vv flag (eg output from rclone -vv copy /tmp remote:tmp)

This command seems malformed.
a mount command needs 2 parameters - what to mount (a remotename) and where to mount it (local path).

For example:
rclone mount MyGdrive: /home/stigma/Gdrive

I am not sure what you were trying to accomplish here with the "."
I presume this is not the name of your rclone Gdrive-remote as you configured it though - and it needs to be. (and if you did in fact name it "." then that's probably not a great choice as it would very easily confuse syntax).
