What is the problem you are having with rclone?
My system crashed, forcing me to install a new OS (Kubuntu 24.04.4) and restore from my backup which is pretty good.
Now I'm trying to reestablish what I had in rclone previously not remembering all the steps I had taken to get this set up and it worked so well that I've forgotten all the setup I had done.
Basically I am trying to keep a local copy of one file in one directory on Google Drive.
I ran rclone config using all the data I had entered in my old config file (I probably could have just copied that file over but didn't since this rclone is a newer version.
That worked and now I want to start rclone and achieve an automatic sync between my local computer and the remote on Google Drive.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
$ rclone version
rclone v1.74.2
- os/version: ubuntu 24.04 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 6.17.0-35-generic (x86_64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.26.3
- go/linking: static
- go/tags: none```
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 xxxx: /home/abcdefg/xxxx
But this only creates a temporary mount on my computer that goes away as soon as I close the command line. What are the commands I need to run on my local machine to make this connection permanent and always live?
Please run 'rclone config redacted' and share the full output. If you get command not found, please make sure to update rclone.
rclone config redacted
[xxxx]
type = drive
client_id = XXX
client_secret = XXX
scope = drive
token = XXX
root_folder_id = XXX
team_drive =
