#### What is the problem you are having with rclone? I'm trying to write a small python script that assits us in mounting our Buckets as Drives on a couple of windows machines. The script I wrote works like I want it to, but I cannot use any space in the naming of the mount (I'm using --volname). Unfortunately it is not possible to use a different name, since these drives have been named like this a while ago and we have many projects that link to these specific drives. The command below is what is generated with the python script and then executed via subprocess. Once I execute this command, I get this error: > Command mount needs 2 arguments maximum: you provided 3 non flag arguments: ["REMOTE:BUCKET\_NAME" "DRIVE\_LETTER:" "Cloud"] The code looks like this: ```auto main_command = [ "REMOTE", ":", "BUCKET_NAME", " ", "DRIVE_LETTER", ":", ] ADDITIONAL_ARGS = [ "-vv", "--vfs-cache-mode", "full", "--vfs-cache-max-age", "744h", # Cache Lifetime "--vfs-read-chunk-size", "512M", "--vfs-fast-fingerprint", "--transfers", "10", "--network-mode", "--use-server-modtime", "--fast-list", "--dir-cache-time", "5s", "--volname", "L-Library Cloud", "--file-perms=0777", "--dir-perms=0777", "--use-json-log", "--stats", "1s", "--retries", "10", ] Command = "rclone mount " + "".join(main_command) + " " + " ".join(ADDITIONAL_ARGS) print(Command) try: p = subprocess.Popen( args=Command, startupinfo=None, stdout=sys.stdout, stderr=sys.stdout, stdin=sys.stdin, bufsize=1, universal_newlines=True, ) except: print(Back.RED) print("Something went wrong!") print(Style.RESET_ALL) ``` The code works fine and without any issues if I change the --volname to something without space, for example: ```auto "--volname", "L-LibraryCloud", ``` It seems like rclone assumes that the word "Cloud" in Library Cloud is it's own command. How can I fix this? As I said, I cannot rename this drive. Thank you very much in advance. #### Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command. rclone v1.62.2 - os/version: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 22H2 (64 bit) - os/kernel: 10.0.19045.4046 Build 19045.4046.4046 (x86\_64) - os/type: windows - os/arch: amd64 - go/version: go1.20.2 - go/linking: static - go/tags: cmount #### Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive) Amazon S3 compliant Cloud Drive #### The command you were trying to run (eg `rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp`) `rclone mount REMOTE:BUCKET_NAME L: --vfs-cache-mode full --vfs-cache-max-age 744h --vfs-read-chunk-size 512M --vfs-fast-fingerprint --transfers 10 --network-mode --use-server-modtime --fast-list --dir-cache-time 5s --volname L-Library Cloud --file-perms=0777 --dir-perms=0777 --use-json-log --stats 1s --retries 10` #### Please run 'rclone config redacted' and share the full output. If you get command not found, please make sure to update rclone. config is irrelevant here #### A log from the command that you were trying to run with the `-vv` flag log is not relevant here ---

> [@renefrassek](#): > > --volname L-Library Cloud You have to pass quotes here: ```auto --volname "L-Library Cloud" ``` In Python If you want to use double quotes you can just use single quotes as delimiter: ```auto r'"test test"' ``` ---

And BTW this has nothing really to do with rclone:) You should seek help on Python forums. ---

Haha yes, you're right. After fighting with this for hours of COURSE I fixed it myself 5mins after posting here. Thank you nontheless, it works perfectly now! ---
