Unable to Sync Across Drive Server Side Configs

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Currently I am running copys with this command and it's working without flaw:

rclone sync -v -P --drive-stop-on-upload-limit --checksum --exclude "/stuff/**" a: b:

However I wanted to add the flag --drive-server-side-across-configs so that way it would transfer faster across the Google Drive however whenever I add the flag I get an error like the one below:

2021-10-04 11:41:05 ERROR : : Failed to copy: googleapi: Error 404: File not found: <file_id>, notFound

The remotes are configured as follows:

[gdrive]
type = drive
client_id = <client_id1>
client_secret = <client_secret1>
scope = drive
token =

[gsuite]
type = drive
client_id = <client_id2>
client_secret = <client_secret2>
scope = drive
token =

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

rclone v1.56.2

  • os/version: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 1909 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 10.0.18363.1256 (x86_64)
  • os/type: windows
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.16.8
  • go/linking: dynamic
  • go/tags: cmount

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 sync -v -P --drive-stop-on-upload-limit --drive-server-side-across-configs --checksum --exclude "/stuff/**" a: b:

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

[gdrive]
type = drive
client_id = <client_id1>
client_secret = <client_secret1>
scope = drive
token = <token1>

[gsuite]
type = drive
client_id = <client_id2>
client_secret = <client_secret2>
scope = drive
token = <token2> 

A log from the command with the -vv flag

2021-10-04 11:46:43 ERROR : <file>: Failed to copy: googleapi: Error 404: File not found: <file_id>, notFound

The destination needs permissions in the source to work as otherwise you get that message.

I have added the source as a shortcut in my destination and it's working now. Thank you for your suggestion.
