Help me get google drive mounted with rclone as drive in windows 10 - should take 5 minutes if you know what you are doing -- 2

Job ID: 33123219

Budget: $10 – $30 USD

I had this working previously. Can't figure out why it's not working since I re-installed it. Just need 10 minutes with someone who works with this all the time to check the config and help me get the service running in Windows 10 again

Using RClone and Nssm - you must have experience with these app's please.

I am using the following process:

Below is the detailed process I went through in order to install Rclone Mount: Gsuite already setup.

Download Rclone 64 Bit for Windows (Currently 1.47.0)

https://rclone.org/downloads/

Unzip the folder to C:\rclone

Open PowerShell (Admin)

Type c:\rclone\rclone.exe config or d:\rclone\rclone.exe config if moved to d

Type n for New Remote

Type gdrive

Select from the list GDrive ( not Google Cloud Drive ) [At the time of writing it was No. 13.]

Now make your own client_id

Goto https://console.developers.google.com/

Create a New Project

Under “ENABLE APIS AND SERVICES” search for “Drive”, and enable the “Google Drive API”

Click “Credentials” in the left-side panel (not “Create credentials”, which opens the wizard), then “Create credentials”, then “OAuth client ID”. It will prompt you to set the OAuth consent screen product name, if you haven’t set one already.

Choose an application type of “Desktop App”, and click “Create” (I simply named mine oAuth 2.0 Client ID)

This will then show you a client ID and client secret.

Copy the Client ID

Go back to PowerShell and right click to paste the Client ID

Now go back to the Google developers console and copy the Client Secret

Go back to PowerShell and right click to paste the Client Secret

You will now be prompted to choose a number from below for the scope – type 1 and then enter

You will now be prompted to either enter a string value for the root folder or leave it blank - Leave Blank and press Enter

You will now be prompted to either enter a string value for the service_account_file - Leave this blank and press enter

Next you will be asked if you’d like to edit the advanced config (y/n) - Type n and then enter

Now you’ll be asked if you’d like to use auto config - Type y and then enter

You will now be taken to the sign-on page for google drive – if not, enter the following in your web browser http://127.0.0.1:53682/auth

Enter your login details

Go back to PowerShell and when asked if you would like to configure this as a team drive in PowerShell, type Y and then enter

Now you'll be shown a list of Shared Drives in your account. Select the appropriate one.

Your finalized version of the config file will now be output in PowerShell and all you have to do is enter y to accept it

The rclone config file has now been built and will be located in C:\Users\<your windows username>\.config\rclone

COMPLETE


Setting up Rclone Mount


Download WinFsp and select all of the options during installation https://github.com/billziss-gh/winfsp/releases/download/v1.4/winfsp-1.4.19016.msi

Download the nssm tool https://nssm.cc/ci/nssm-2.24-101-g897c7ad.zip

Extract this to your rclone folder and then cut/paste the 64 bit version into the actual rclone folder

Open PowerShell, but not as an Admin

Type cd C:\rclone

Type .\nssm.exe install

This will open the GUI

Type the following under Applications:

Path: C:\rclone\rclone.exe

Startup Directory: C:\rclone

Arguments: mount --allow-other --dir-cache-time 72h --drive-chunk-size 64M --log-level INFO --vfs-read-chunk-size 32M --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit off gdrive: X: --config "C:\Users\YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME\.config\rclone\rclone.conf" --vfs-cache-mode writes --tpslimit 8

Service Name: RcloneMount

Under Exit type: 10000 ms, Select the Restart application setting

You should now see a folder that says gdrive (X:) under your Windows Explorer.

If not, type c:\rclone\nssm.exe start RcloneMount in Powershell
