Zoho workdrive with personal account

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Trying to authorize Zoho WorkDrive with personal account using rclone. Using the following settings:

name> zoho1
Storage> zoho
region> eu
config_team_drive_id> 1 (tried also 0, same result)

Result:

Error: HTTP error 401 (401 Unauthorized) returned body: "{\"errors\":[{\"id\":\"R008\",\"title\":\"Unauthorized access\"}]}"

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

welcome to the forum,

as you using a free account? if using paid account, which plan?

i am able to reproduce that issue on a free account but not 100% sure it is a rclone bug.
and just now, i tested using older version of rclone, had the same exact issue.

so, maybe something changed on zoho side.

as seen in the log, maybe zoho is returning that state as workspace
DEBUG : zoho: config out: out=&{State:workspace Option: OAuth:<nil> Error: Result:}, err=<nil>
and rclone does the correct thing, ask for config_team_drive_id

see the rclone source code - case "workspace"

@cselvakumar, hi, any comments please?

Hello everyone, I am trying to use free personal account.

Hello @asdffdsa @Andrew_Cheburnetus This is Debeka from WorkDrive team. Thanks for reporting the problem. Upon analysis, we see that rclone expects a "Team" for the users by default and the individual account is not supported, if not wrong.

@ncw rclone on initial configuration fetches the team information for the users using "users/user-id/teams" which will return a null for individual users and same is being to used further to fetch workspaces / privatespace resources. We recommend using "users/user-id/organization" API instead of "users/user-id/teams" which will have a similar response that will additionally include "organization_type" attribute. The attribute values can be interpreted as below

organization_type : 1 [Individual User type]
organization_type : 2 [Team User type]

You can further use the id returned in the above API response for further calls. We also recommend to only trigger users/idreturnedinthepreviousAPI-userId/privatespace and avoid teams/id/workspaces calls for individual users based on the organization_type since workspaces are not supported for such users. You can find more details on the individual plan here

The above information is not available in the WorkDrive's API Documentation. We will work to update the same at the earliest.

Also, Nick, do we have a work around for the individual users, till we have the fix, if they have the id to be used in place of the teamId?

Please check if further clarification is required.

@Andrew_Cheburnetus I tried with my zoho personal acount

Enter name for new remote.
name> zohotest
Storage> zoho
region> eu

I then got

2024/10/23 12:28:47 NOTICE: Got code
Option config_team_drive_id.
Team Drive ID
Choose a number from below, or type in your own value of type string.
Press Enter for the default (4xrzufXXX).
 1 / rclone
   \ (4xrzufXXX)
config_team_drive_id> 1

Did you see nothing here? Is that the problem? Or did you see an ID here and it didn't work?

Usually pressing enter works fine here.

@Debeka thank you for your info. Why does my account (also a Zoho personal account) work but @Andrew_Cheburnetus account does not?

Maybe because it is a newer account?

If so please, could you look into the supporting the old API with newer accounts?

It's been working well for four years, and we're hoping for a resolution to restore compatibility.

If you know the id then you can just copy and paste it into the config_team_drive_id> prompt.

Hi @ncw Thanks for the information. The personal account you added here is actually a "Team" which will work without any issue as the users/id/teams API will hold valid data. Whereas @Andrew_Cheburnetus is actually using WorkDrive's Individual account which will not have any existing team and can't create a new one too. I'm adding the reference link for the WorkDrive's Individual plan again for your reference

In that case, the suggested API changes will be required for the rclone to work seamlessly for such users.

Ah, so it is a new product.

@Debeka @Andrew_Cheburnetus

Luckily our most excellent developer @buengese has already implemented this - it has not made it to a full rclone release yet (it is scheduled for v1.69)

So in the mean time can you try the latest beta please which has full support for workdrive personal accounts.

Hello everyone, thank you for your help. I've just installed latest rclone beta (version v1.69.0-beta.8381.72f06bcc4). Now everything works perfectly.

  1. I've added my client id and client secret from api-console.zoho.eu.
  2. I've selected eu region.
  3. I was redirected to web browser, clicked accept button.
  4. After that I saw "Workspace ID" and was able to select "My Space" using existing id.
  5. Configuration completed.

I am going to wait until 1.69 release will be ready for use, Thank you! Have a nice and productive day.
