Hello :)

I am trying to set up an encrypted gdrive connection in rclone.

For some reason, it won’t upload to gdrive when I use the crypt remote, but it works fine when i use just the gdrive remote.

When I use the crypt remote, it simply created a folder called the gdrive remote name, then uploads everything encrypted to there with a directory called whatever remote name i use for the remote crypt. I’m probably not explaining very well.

/media/drive/drive/docs$ ll

my rclone.config:

[drive]

type = drive

token = {"access_token":"[redacted]","token_type":"Bearer","refresh_token":"[redacted[,"expiry":"2026-07-05T06:26:08.783447+08:00","expires_in":3599}

team_drive = 

[drivecrypt]

type = crypt

remote = drive

password = [redacted]

filename_encryption = obfuscate

directory_name_encryption = false

The command I’m using is this:

/media/drive$ rclone copy files drivecrypt:docs/

Anyone got any idea? I’m losing my mind here.

TIA :)
