Unable to access contents using a windows computer of a network shared rclone mounted Google drive stored on a Raspberry Pi

I finally got it to work!

So what I did so far was correct. The missing part of the solution was spelled out in the following forum thread:

Solved Is it possible to access my Rclone mount as a Samba share? - Help and Support - rclone forum

When I mounted the drive, I had to add the flag --allow-other

So the mount command I used is

rclone mount gdrive: $HOME/mnt/gdrive --allow-other

When I initially tried the command with the --allow-other flag it gave me an error stating the flag has to be in the fuse.conf file as well.

So I had to add user_allow_other to the fuse.conf file in Raspbian OS. I had google Gemini give me instructions on how to do that.

I also tried to add the flag --allow-root to the mount command but I got an error stating it is not permitted anymore.

Thanks for all your help asdffdsa! I really appreciate it!
